Customers say
Customers find this microphone to be a quality piece of equipment that works well with GoPro cameras and offers great sound quality, particularly noting its ability to pick up high-pitched noises extremely well. They appreciate its small, compact design that’s easy to carry around, and its rotation ability, with one customer mentioning it can tilt in any direction needed. While customers consider it well worth the price, they report issues with static noise and clicking.

A true value based proposition: excellent microphone for the money
I needed a small 90-degree offset microphone for use with a vlogging rig I’m building.I’ve seen the Saramonic name here and there when I’ve been browsing, but didn’t know much about the quality of the product line.My needs for this were limited: recording an audio track for videos, usually at a shooting distance of less than three feet.My first impressions are positive. Build-quality is high. The mic itself rotates in a 180-degree arc, providing great versatility with action cameras like the GoPro and smartphones.While I suspect a musician would want better response characteristics, for narration the response is more than adequate. Voice quality was good, nice and crisp without any buzz or hum.For the price, this is an excellent value.Jerry

Great Mic for GoPro
I went external mic because the internal mic on my GoPro 5black died. After watching a lot of videos and research I went this route and I’m happy I did. Sound quality is good, and build quality seems good so far. Only issue I ran to was with GoPro wifi turned on, it’ll pick up a loud clicking wave interference sound I automatically thought I bought a defect. After turning off wifi everything operates as it should. I also learned that when I put a 6ft 3.5mm extension in between the clicking noise went away even with wifi turned on. Overall great value for the money and would definitely recommend it!

Works better than expected – Acceptable quality used on Osmo Pocket and RX100 sony camera
Small compact mic that can be rotated in 3mm jack mount. Has acceptable quality for me when I use it on my Osmo Pocket and RX100 sony camera for simple videos and vlogs.

This is “Omni-directional” – Not a shotgun mic
I bought this thinking (by seeing a popular youtuber’s review) that this was a small shot-gun style mic. But believe me, it will not make a difference which direction this mic is pointed – it will pick up everything in all directions. And that’s ok, if that’s what you need. In fact, that’s why I kept it. It has been very useful in many situations. It will pick up the audio from the entire room for recording. Or outdoor sounds from all around. So I bought a separate directional shotgun mic later, but I’ll keep the Saramonic SR-XM1 because it works very well. I use it with a GoPro Hero 8 Black – and it also works with my laptop as a great external mic for VOIP calls.

Bought two, and they were both unusable. 🙁
Purchased two of these to use as mics in my Boya wireless setup (which is awesome, btw). I already had two EDUTIGE ETM-001 mics (seriously THE BEST 3.5mm small omnidirectional mic I’ve used – but they are in and out of stock, at least for the ~$30 price tag), so when I bought my second set of Boya wireless mics (to try to use a splitter to have four going at once), I decided to try out this mic.They feel like a quality piece of equipment, but as soon as plugged the first one in, it created a deafening hum that completely covered up anything being recorded. The second one has what I’d call a buzz where you could still hear what was being recorded, though it was clearly better without the mic plugged into the Boya than with it….both were unusable, and I returned them this afternoon after trying them out this morning. Very disappointing, because they felt like a well-built product when I unboxed. 🙁

Do NOT recommend for use with Gopro Hero 5
So I bought this to use with a Gopro Hero 5. I did return it within 1 day of using it. Here are the pros and cons of this mic if you want to use it with the Hero 5.Pros:I loved how small and portable it was. Fit in my gear bag no problem. It also makes the audio sound exponentially better than the stock Gopro audio.Cons:Biggest one was that with this Mic, you CAN’T have the Gopro wireless connection on. If you do, you will have horrible clicking and crackling noise. It must be off. Which is trash because that means I can’t use the capture app or have it connected to my Remo controller.Side note: Another con but this is a Gopro software issue not the mic is that if you try using Quick Capture(Where you press the record button while it’s off to start recording right away instead of turning it on like normal), your first clip will have audio and every clip after that will NOT have audio. Again, this is a Gopro issue not related to the Saramonic mic. Just thought everyone should know this.So…the wireless connection issure is enough, for me, to want to return this item. But besides that, it was a good microphone.

Perfect if you are looking for a small microphone for your gopro or other devices
Excellent, just what I needed… I use it for my GoPro Hero 7I bought a case for my gopro, and it has a house for the mic dongle that I had to purchase separately.the Mic is small that I connect it to the side of the GoPro without it being in view, and small enough to carry around on the go.in the video I said the mic comes with a dead cat / wind sock … I have to correct myself, it does not, had to buy those separately, but still a great mic for what I need it to do…while some say the microphone sounds just like the onboard mics on the GoPro, that is not the purpose of the microphone… the SR-XM1 mic is directional, while the gopro’s onboard mic captures everything around it at the same time, and if there is any bump to the case or wind, it will capture that sound… the SR-XM1 can be covered to deal with the wind, it is directional so it captures what it faces, and it does not pick up all that noise associated with hand movements on the case (as you can tell in the video) …

Met my expectation. Just lacking dead cat as accessory.

Ich habe ein Rhode VideoMicro, was ja eigentlich das Vlogging SetUp für die GoPro schlechthin ist. Mich hat allerdings immer das doch recht große SetUp gestört und dass oft das DeadCat teilweise mit im Bild war.Ich habe mir dann dieses kleine XM1 bestellt und wollte es mal probieren. Ich muss sagen, ich bin angenehm überrascht. Es ist super flexibel. Man kann es in alles Richtungen sehr schnell drehen und anpassen. Wenn ich die Gorpo drehe und in die andere Richtung filme, drehe ich das kleine Mic ratzfatz und habe es dahin ausgerichtet wo ich möchte. Das ist mit dem Rhode nicht so einfach möglich.Das kleine eingebaute Shockmount leistet auch ziemlich gute Arbeit. Das hat mich wirklich überrascht. Die Aufnahmequalität ist ebenfalls gut. Sie reicht für meine Aufnahmesituationen vollkommen. Man kann alles klar verstehen uns mit dem Schaumstoffaufsatz hält es auch bei normalen Wetterbedingungen sehr viele Wind- und Umgebungsgeräusche ab.Ich habe allerdings ein DeadCat auf den Schaumstoffaufsatz befestigt, so bin ich auf der sicheren Seite. Das einzige was stört ist dieser kobige Adapter, den ich für die Gopro immer brauche bei einem externen Mikrophon 🙂 .GoPro in Verbindung mit dem Saramonic XM1 ist ein tolles, flexibeles kleines Vlogging SetUp.

Ho voluto provare questo piccolo microfono con jack diretto e senza filo. L’oggetto si fa usare ma non è certo comodo come un microfono professionale. Consigliato solo per un utilizzo sul telefono

Bra ljudkvalitet till bra pris. Används till möten i jobbet. Utmärkt som komplement till bra hörlurar. Skönt att slippa headset med bom.
