The Saramonic CamMic+ is a lightweight yet durably built, AA powered shotgun microphone that delivers clear, broadcast-quality sound to DSLR, mirrorless, video cameras and mobile devices. Its directional pickup pattern excels at capturing sounds in front of the mic, while rejecting sounds to the sides and rear. It's a premium mic with impressive construction at an affordable price that's incredibly easy to use, and it can be used with a wide variety of cameras and mobile devices. A standout feature of the CamMic+ design is the unique mic shock mount. The wiry shock mounts on some competing mic are flimsy and prone to bending, this can cause some unwanted audio issues and change the way the mic picks up sound. The integrated shock mount of CamMic+ is robust and features a sleek and stable design. A dual layered uniquely designed bullet like windscreen is included, giving the CamMic+ its unique and interesting look. It features a sturdy gasket which aids in blocking wind noise, helps to protect the mic from weather and dust, and keeps it securely fastened in place while on the go.
