Not great!
I bought this used and I understood the limitations with the A7IV. On test it did no seem much better than the internal mic TBH. The most annoying thing was that I could hear a faint buzz behind each recording both on the A7IV and my A7RV so I returned it.

Not Compatible with a6000
The microphone is not supported by the a6000. I get a message every time I insert the microphone that says the microphone is not supported by the device and it has yet to work.

Would not fit handycam
This microphone is listed under handycam accessories. It does not fit on my handycam. After reviewing the package I realized it is for the cybershot camcorders. This is very frustrating and a huge waste and disrespect of my time.
PS. We have postal codes in Canada, not zip codes.

No Mic from
Never arrived
Confirmation says order shipped weeks ago. FedEx doesnt know when it will ship. Sony is impossible to get in touch with. Terrible experience.

Underwhelming
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?

It used to work fine
I bought this mic more than a year ago for my a6000 and it worked fine for a while, but recently it started to make a "chirp like" digital noise whilst video recording. It is so loud that you cannot here anything else in the video. I tried to look for solutions online, cleaned the shoe and the mount, nothing helped. I don't know what else to do...

Does not work AT ALL with my a6000 camera
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 ????

Good accessory for FDR-AX33
I use it on my FDR-AX33. I like the zoom feature: as you zoom in, background noise is diminished, and subject audio is brought up. Small, convenient, effective.

I have a Love Hate relationship with this Mic
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.

Easy to use and install.
Better quality audio than interal mic on HX400V! But the design is not very good becuase it will easily break off the mount and then you had to buy a new one!
