The big advantage is being able to record sound directly on the case to avoid having to synchronize the sound post-production. For the price you can not beat (former Videomic had a frame that squeaked, the new no sound).
So advisable for people who do not want to bother to do the sync sound. Note however that the recording quality is AC3 (192kbps I think) and that so far the quality of a Zoom H4 that will record 48kHz WAV (1536kbps).
Remember to set your device to save well from the microphone jack (logical but it would be stupid to forget) and especially OFF self gain (AGC).
