I own about 4 of these Mic's. It's been a love hate relationship. I love the fact that I don't have to charge or replace batteries and don't have to remember to turn it on and off. I shoot mostly outdoors and with a dead cat over the supplied wind muff there is hardly any wind noise as I get with all of my more expensive Mic's, I have a youtube channel with about 5k videos and people always comment on how great the sound is. The first 3 I owned I always got the nag that the Mic was not compatible with any of my Sony Camcorders, but the only one they didn't work with was my AX-33. The nag is a nuisance when you are trying to turn it on and shoot something quick because you can't see the image past the nag. The 4th one I bought from B&H and for about the past 2 years never had a problem with the nag. I've always been careful to remove it after each use and put the cover back on the mounting foot and place it back in it's little supplied bag. Now all of a sudden, I'm now getting the nag with it, but it appears to be working fine. I was just about to buy my 5th one, but I was surprised how much they have gone up in price. If I get the nag with the new one, I will for sure send it back. At least I haven't got one with a broken switch right out of the package like I did when I bought the Sony remote mic that they wouldn't make right because I didn't open the package right away....

I seen someone says that it worked but mine does not. Any tips?

I bought this for the A6000 and as stated only works in one mode. Not a good endorsement for the product. I bought an A7Rii and I believe it's suppose to be compatible but the camera doesn't indicate it's attached. Granted it does fit the universal hot shoe so perhaps that's what they mean by compatible?... Read More  Hide

Just bought the mic to use with my newly purchased a6000 camera. The mic does not work AT ALL in either of the two modes, gun or zoom, and the built in camera mic just stays active. Why ????
