The Boya's BY-M1 Pro is a professional microphone, suitable for smartphones and cameras (DSLR). Thanks to its 6-meter cable length, you have plenty of freedom of movement. The unique feature of the BY-M1 Pro is that it is suitable for both smartphones and cameras. A special button allows you to switch between these two modes. When using the BY-M1 Pro with a camera, the LR44 battery does its job, providing power to the microphone. A 3.5 mm to 6.3 mm adapter is included for connecting the BY-M1 Pro to more professional cameras.

Do you have a camera or any other device that makes a buzzing or noise when working with electricity? This microphone will save you! (The BY-M1 doesn't do that!!)
Apart from that, it has good and powerful sound and it's great for its price.
I hope it withstands time and use.
Guys, it's a very good microphone for getting your job done, up to a point....the sound quality is decent, you can work with it and with a little tweaking in post, you can achieve good results, without having to spend 100+ € for a very good microphone....the positives also include the option of 0db and -10db and its very long cable, which is really helpful...the negatives are that (of course, at this price) its construction is not the best...for example, the on/off and 0/-10db switches started to loosen after just 3 days of use...but overall, I believe it's worth it, don't think twice, I don't know of a better product in this category.
UPDATE: after 3 uses, it started having problems...from what I understood, it's a grounding issue...don't buy it, it's not worth it...I bought another one for 16€ and it's crystal clear.
I was torn between the Rhode lavalier go and the Boya M1 pro. As you already understood, I chose the Boya.
I ended up with this one because from various reviews I saw (where they provided audio samples), I concluded that on the one hand there is no difference in performance between the two (so the 30 euro price difference is not justified), on the other hand the Boya has a 6-meter cable, while the Rhode has only one meter. Also, the Rhode lavalier does not work with mobile phones and cameras, it requires an adapter.
So, the Boya is plug and play. Basically, you just need to remove a plastic piece that the battery has on top. This is only for the first time. It is a battery protector (you have surely encountered it in other devices) and then switch the button to the camera option (if you are working with a camera). Obviously, it is much better than the internal microphone of the camera that I use. Surely you will now tell me that comparing an internal microphone with an external lapel microphone that is 20 centimeters away from the mouth is unfair (I won't disagree). I just want to add that with this purchase, I had concerns about the Razer Seiren x (which I recently bought for voice overs), which cost around 100 euros (the Razer connects with USB for those who know). I believe that the result of the Boya is very close to that of the Razer, but at one-third of the price.
It is a must-have and at the same time an economical upgrade (compared to the competition) that is aimed at those who make videos with speech, either with mobile phones or with a camera. Especially for vlogging, YouTube, etc. The only issue (if I would even call it an issue) is that it is an individual tool, but this obviously applies to all lapel microphones.
Finally, I have no complaints about this product, it does what it promises and it does it better than I expected. I would say I am excited...
I hope I helped!
Awesome sound quality and very clear highs. Easy to use with a very long cable that will cover every need. I use it on my DSLR for video and the result is professional.
