    4 Stars
    Excellent sound quality
    Excellent sound quality, but the form factor is a little quirky. I like its portability, but it doesn't sit too well on top of a thinner laptop screen as the "clip" can't be adjusted to clamp securely. I used a 1/4" tap to add threads to one side of the aluminum base, and now I can mount it to a mini tripod, giving me more options for placement and positioning.Caution: when recording don't adjust the mic's position by sliding it on a table surface, as I did when I had it sitting in its case. It picks up an incredible amount of noise like you wouldn't believe, and I didn't realize this until I played it back for editing.
