The BOYA BY-M17R Camera-Mount Supercardioid Shotgun Microphone is a lightweight compact condenser specially designed for improved sound on vlogs, Facebook clips, and many more and can be used with smartphones, and DSLR/mirrorless cameras.
The BY-M17R picks up sound from directly in front of the mic, other than built-in microphones in cameras or smartphones. The BOYA BY-M17R Camera-Mount Supercardioid Shotgun Microphone is powered by a single AA battery for up to 50 hours.
Noise causing vibrations is minimized by the shockmount that fits directly into the hot shoe mount of the camera, as well as a 1/4-20 thread on the bottom to accommodate other mounting options.
Included is a foam and furry windshield to prevent room or wind noise. A 3.5mm TRS cable is also included to connect the shotgun to your camera or smartphone.
