BY-MM1 Compact On Camera Shotgun Video Microphone YouTube Vlogging Facebook Livestream Recording Mic for iPhone Huawei Smartphone DJI Osmo Mobile Plus, for Canon Nikon Sony DSLR Cameras

This mic has been excellent. I made plenty of comparisons between the on board mic of the Canon SLR compared to plugging this Boys in and the quality it picks up is superb! It is much more directional than the on board mic, which is what you want really when you point the camera at someone or something. Point to note, its a mono mic rather that the stereo which the Canon has on board but I don't miss that really. Wind noise is kept to a minimum with the included wind shield and its great to be able to use this with smart phones if I wish. You can also use this as a PC microphone when editing videos. The mount seems well made and from good quality plastic but it still pics up vibrations from say you holding the camera or the lens focusing, should you not use the STM lens of course. The tripod mount works very well via the thumb screw fixing.I like it. You can easily swap the mic around if you want to talk from behind the camera. Comes in a leatherette bag. The mic weighs more than you expect but that is down to the solid metal construction. It didn't come with the lens cleaner as stated in the pictures, but no biggie.

Useful but you does have a little feedback buzzing, easily removed in post but if you don’t know what you are doing can be frustrating.

Entirely usable little mic and great value for money. Keep your expectations in line with the price and you won't be disappointed. I have used this in professional work and personal vlogs. If you understand good mic technique and use it properly, you'll get a 100% usable sound from it. I've used it hooked into both a dSLR and a phone for interviewing. Not sure what else to say, really. If you need a small, cheap microphone that does the job it's supposed to then this is a really great alternative to more expensive brands. It's the third Boya Mic I've owned and probably my favourite.

Excellent sound and most importantly form factor. I've always had the rode micro and bought this for my daughter. If anything this is better than the Rode. It's far sturdier on the mount but more important the dead cat is much smaller which makes a big difference. With the addition of the extra muff for the mic too it's excellent and also slightly louder than the rode. I've not ordered another purely to use on my GoPro as with it being slightly smaller it keeps it out of shot unlike the Rode.

this mic is fairly good quality, both in build quality and in audio quality. when plugged into my iphone the recording are nice and clear but when used with my canon dslr the noisefloor is too much as the internal preamps have too much noise. this is one of the downsides of using internal preamps, which is your only option with this unpowered microphone. i intend to use an external recorder with it in the coming months for cleaner audio, but the product itself is good, good value, good quality wind muff and mic holder, didnt have any issues with the hotshoe mount, like others have mentioned. hope this review helps some people. the frequency response is also nice , and a 4k boost in post along with a hipass at 60hz does wonders for vocals

Great bit of kit, used on an action cam/360 cam. Comes with the very useful windsock, and alternate (short) connecting leads for either smart phone or camera usage.

It took me about 30 minutes testing between the mic and using only my iPhone's' mic, it came with two cables to connect the mic and the phone, one of them didn't work hence why I couldn't tell the difference at first. It is very good overall.

Great mic especially if you can know how to do some minor changes with editing audio. Came with everything I needed for phone and dslr. Cradle is ok and does the job well especially for the price.

Great quality sound! Cuts traffic and wind noise. Also walking on gravel while you shoot is not an issue!

انه رائع جدا جدا وصوته جميل وحتي لوكنت بعيد عنه ولكن امامه هيلقت الصوت

I love this mic, makes the audio in my youtube videos sound so much better. I use to use a lav mic but have switched to this cardioid mic and I am glad I did so. This mic works perfectly with the iPhone 7 plus, you just need to use the dongle. If your'e a content creator, you should definately check out this mic.

j'ai acheté ce micro pour l'enregistrement de concerts, de vlogs et parcequ'il retient bien le souffle du vent ambiant ! très bonne qualité pour un petit prix !

I purchased the BOYA BY-MM1 B shotgun microphone a little while ago to use with my mirrorless camera and smartphone, and overall, I’ve been quite impressed given the price point. For anyone starting out with vlogging, YouTube, or casual video creation, this is a very capable little mic that punches above its weight. First of all, the build quality is solid. It comes with everything you need to get started right out of the box — the microphone itself, a shock mount, a TRS and TRRS cable for cameras and smartphones, and even a furry windscreen (deadcat) which is essential for outdoor recording. The setup is super easy, it doesn’t require batteries, and it’s very compact and lightweight which makes it perfect for travel and on-the-go shooting. In terms of sound quality, the BY-MM1 does a nice job of picking up clean audio in controlled environments. Voices sound natural and clear when recording indoors, and it does a good job of reducing ambient noise from the sides thanks to the cardioid pickup pattern. Outdoors, the windscreen really helps cut down on wind noise, though of course it can’t completely eliminate strong gusts. Where it starts to show limitations is in very noisy environments or if you’re expecting professional studio sound. There can be some slight hissing noise in quiet moments, and it is not as sensitive or full-bodied as higher-end microphones. However, for vlogs, social media content, casual interviews, and day-to-day use, it does exactly what I need and is MUCH better than built-in camera or phone mics. Overall, for the price, this microphone offers excellent value. It’s a no-fuss, reliable upgrade if you are moving up from your phone or camera’s internal mic. If you are a content creator who does vlogging, travel videos, online classes, casual interviews, or simple YouTube content, this is a very handy and affordable option. Just keep your expectations realistic — this is a solid entry-level mic, not a pro broadcast mic. Recommended for beginners and budget-conscious creators!
