If you are using the built in microphone on your DSLR or smart phone, then you might not be getting the best audio on your video. Built in microphones are typically omni-directional and consequently pick up too much background noise. The are also poorly suited for windy conditions.

The Kimafun KM-CAM20 Video Mic Kit offers two types of windscreens and two different connection cables for use with either a smart phone or DSLR type camera.

The Kimafun KM-CAM20 Microphone Kit is available through AliExpress

This microphone is not currently available on Amazon. If this product becomes available on Amazon, I will post a link at that time.

This Kimafun Video Mic is hyper-cardioid, so it mainly picks up the audio directly in front of it, and it comes with both a foam windscreen and a fuzzy "dead cat" windscreen. This microphone has a similar design to a Rode VideoMicro, Movo Photo VXR10, Boya MM1, or similar at a significantly lower price.
