Pros and cons

Pros

Uses a wired 3.5 mm TRS connection and needs no separate battery or sound driver.
The omnidirectional pattern and stated pickup range are suited to face-to-face interviews.
A 180° tilt and supplied storage pouch support flexible positioning and transport.

Cons

The listing says it is not recommended for smartphone use and is not compatible with GoPro or Sony Microphone System.
Omnidirectional pickup captures sound from all directions, so it is not a directional option for isolating one sound source.

Treat it as limited feedback rather than proof of how the microphone performs with a particular camera or transmitter.
