Being off center like that would drive me nuts.
Not for the OCD types, huh?
If you look at it closely, it looks like this because you can turn it 90 degrees and operate in two positions.
Yeah, I’m sure it’s functional with the rotation, but it would still get to me. 🙂
Not too concerned about the fidelity as much as the sensitivity. For example, if I could sit in my car and pick up awesome stuff in-detail going on around the parking lot, I’d be interested.
Assuming you can shoot video while recording with it, does it have a cable so you can place the mic and the camera in separate locations?
Might grab one when I’m in japan next month, do some field recording of city and country life.
Bought an iRig microphone before for my iPhone and it was noisy as sh*t, so won’t be buying this one 🙂
they use the converters in the idevice, and sound brutes….
get an apogee if you want quality
