This is a fantastic microphone and very budget friendly. I needed this because my webcam doesn’t have a good one. I have frequent zoom calls for work and had to dial in via phone to be heard. This microphone eliminates that extra step. People on the other end can hear me clearly. The microphone is metal as is the tripod, not a cheap plastic. It was super easy to setup, just plug it in and go. It is compact and looks good on your desk. This is a really great microphone for the price.
