ProsCons
Audio quality – This depends on your expectations and the way you plan to use the microphone, but overall the sound quality of the BOYA BY-MM1 is good.If you compare it to the Rode VideoMicro shotgun microphone, then it is quite similar.The quality of the dead cat wind protector – It is not that bad, but as you see in the video, I managed to pull off the fur/hair easily.
Durability – The Boya By MM1 build quality is excellent and many users have made use of it for years with no problems or audio degradation.The shock mount is made from simple plastic – One of the main differences between the BOYA BY-MM1 & the Rode Video Micro is the quality of the shock mount. In my opinion, if you separate the mic from the mount often, this can be annoying and cause scratches to the mic. Also, I’m afraid that the BOYA mount eventually will break.
Compatible with various devices – You can use this mic with smartphones, tablets, computers, camcorders, DSLR / mirror-less / other types of cameras.

The BOYA BY-MM1 is great for anyone from beginner, intermediate or expert videographer or content creator. It makes you look professional and is an excellent product and it does not disappoint for its price.
