Question: Can this work with an iPhone?
Document: Might be a very good pick up mic but it doesn't work with my iPod or iPhone products. Bought an external cable to give it power boost and still nada. Do alot more research if you are trying to use this for an Apple product.
This item does not work I have Tried it 10 times it is not working at all I made a video how it doesn't work and I am so sure you that it Doesn't work. I had to buy another item for this just to make it work. Factop-3.5mm Male to Female AUX Audio Extension Cable with Microphone for iPhone 4 4S 5 iPad (Wireless Phone Accessory).
In order for this mic to work with a smart device, such as an android or iphone or ipad or any tablet. The jack should have three bands.I have tried it with android, iphone5 and ipad - it did not take over the built in microphone of the device.I also tried it with a camera and a dedicated computer microphone jack - it worked great.summary: if you need a microphone for your smart phone/tablet, this will not work!
It also does not work outside when a plane is flying over.
It won't work with your thinkpad, but it does work with GoPro or recorder. The reason is of course the external power supply.Be carefully when you need to buy this for laptop use.
As an alternative to a standalone digital flash voice recorder, I picked up this microphone to use with my iPhone to record interviews. The quality has improved a great deal and I'm happy with my purchase.
I got this mic hoping that I would be able to voice record during my field work, but did not really help because people were talking over each other. When kids scream further away, you can not even here person next to you. You definitely need a directional one which my old Olympus' embedded one works fine.I think this is a good piece if you are recording in a conference room when people talk one by one, but not in a crowded room.
We got it for our youtube videos, youtube.com/darkdawnstudios, for a microphone but we never used it. This is a good little mic and is great for a iphone, but not for movies. If you want a good pro mic then the rode video mic pro was perfect. Am I saying this is bad, No!
Base on the description I read, I chose to get it because I have an Android phone. I wanted to use it with my video camera. When you plug it into the headphone jack, it muted the sound. Spoke to a rep from Olympus who confirmed it. Not to be use with Android or iPhone.
works as expected... I use it with my ipad and noteability app for class lectures... Like that there is an extension cord option...
Answer: I bought it for that purpose. Disappointing. It does NOT work for an I phone.
