Rubber feet prevent slipping and protect delicate surfaces.

Fabricated from stainless steel and black Adapto polymer, the PIXI supports up to 2.2 lb while weighing only 6.7 oz. Its built-in ball head has a 1/4"-20 camera screw and a unique design that allows adjustments and locking with a single push button.

[Plastic] Rode mics have improved dramatically over the years. Their modern line is now compact and high-performing. The NTG is rich and well-featured, but heavy and expensive. The Videomicro II sounds pretty good, weighs nothing, and packs easy because it's so small. With the new shock mount design, this is the Goldilocks size. It retains USB-C compatibility, and it takes up much less space than the old shock mount design for the GO II. 5

[1x 1/4"-20 Male] Couldn't be happier with this compact microphone. 5

[Ball Head] I’ve been looking for a minute for microphone for my cameras, and this came in handy. It’s light weight an fits perfectly on my canon camera. 5

[Ball Head] I've not tried it in many different situations yet, but so far, each application I have tried has worked very well for this relatively small, and affordable device. The isolation shock mount looks strange, but seems to work very well. Currently I've been testing it as a computer mic for Zoom Calls, AnyMeeting, Teams and Discord and it seems to work extremely well with every app I've tried. I clamped it to a GVM light pole... much better than a webcam mic or even my Sony a7 IV's mic. This is replacing a decades old Sony Zoom Shotgun which was much larger and predates USB compatibility. 5

[0.49 lb] This mic is fantastic for the price. For a small video setup and needing quality components without breaking the bank this is now my go to mic. 5

[Plastic] This is a great microphone for the price. Very sensitive to voices. I have used it both outdoors and in a quiet studio as a microphone for interviews. In a quiet environment it gives very good voice reproduction with no mike noise or hiss. Outdoors it performs well, but does not reject extraneous sound as well as some more expensive microphones. 5
