I bought this mic because it was the only lav available at my local BB. That being said, it captured the interview adequately, but the quality of the vocals was less than optimal. The mids/low-highs are cut off, requiring tweaking in post. I don't know if that's because this is technically meant for use with phones or maybe I should have taken the puff off the end.
TL;DR - Good if you need one asap, not the best if you can shop around.

Why does this show a cord comes with it, if BikerDude's information is correct and it doesn't? Would someone please confirm whether a cord comes with the purchase and if so , how long is the cord? Thank you.
It is a wired lavaliere, so it is one long connected piece of equipment. The cord itself is 6 feet long.

Can this be used with a camera?
It worked with my GH4, but didn't produce the best quality sound. Then again, it IS a $20 mic, so you get what you pay for.
