Happy New Year!

Anybody use this? Stumbled across this today and wondered if this would be a good travel mic?

I steer clear of any ios mic that uses the headphone jack as an audio input. Much prefer the 30 pin or 9 pin connector.

Beware...as Beau Weaver (who KNOWS his stuff) said in this article on George Whittam's VOStudioTech.com:

Quote:
...sends analog audio through the 1/8th inch mic/headphone port. Bad bad bad! That mic port has a radical "telephone filter" eq baked in, so there is no way to get broadcast quality audio through it. No no no, fluffy.

Hei guys,

Thanks for the feedback. Won't touch it with a 10 foot boom pole!
