A very good microphone for recording birdsong on your iPhone.
I bought the product mainly for one purpose; to capture sound from a few metres away in the open air. There was a little doubt as to how the microphone would capture sound from a slightly longer distance (3 m) in windy outdoor conditions, but the microphone performed excellently. I didn't notice any problems, and so a big plus for the lightning connector, which means no need to fiddle with adapters.
