It is effective within 2m50 max. beyond to keep the best sound quality, I plug the h1n zoom and I put it all on one foot at the ready from the sound source.
Then I synchronize the sound post production with plural eyes.
Manufacturing:
The microphone itself is well done, the knobs are notched and without play.
The suspension effectively but probably quite fragile air over the long term. Spare elastics are provided.
The cable looks really limited, unworthy of a product at this price.
The anti-wind bonette is essential (as for all microphones) and is sold in supplement to a prohibitive price.
It also comes without cover, which is a bit petty.
Make sure that the dealer from whom you achettez is an authorized dealer for the right to 10-year warranty extension.
On the one hand because you'll probably need; I do not see this low-end cable last 10 years ...
And mostly because product registration gives you the right to license the eyes plural software (200 value!), To automatically synchronize the sound of your camera and the sound of an external recorder in post prod. Just for this reason I give this a 5 star micro malgrés my reserved on manufacturing.
