Works well, good value
Does what it is meant to do. Good solid build quality, holds the lens firmly but is easily fitted and released. Markings are clear. Keeps the automatic functions of the lens -- aperture, autofocus, etc.

Versatile, good quality sound and good value.
Excellent product. I especially appreciate that it's multi-pattern, with all the options you'd ever want - stereo, cardioid, figure-8 and omni, and the 2 output options - USB and XLR (x2). All that makes it a very useful mic, especially for the price. Everything works as it should. It's sturdy and robust, and so you can't complain that it's large and heavy. This is not a mic for amateurs.
The only issues I have are all with the table stand. First, it seems to need tightening quite often. If it's on a table with the desktop computer, it picks up low frequency noise from the computer fan, and you either need to place it on a piece of foam or mount it on a boom. A bit more padding at the base could have prevented that. (Of course you could DIY).
If you need to remove the stand to mount the mic, you use the 2 thumbscrews at the sides. Each one has 2 washers and a spacer, which are completely loose and can fall off easily if you don't catch them. The first time I was unprepared and had to rescue one or two bits from under the table. Putting them back takes a bit of dexterity. It wouldn't have been hard to design a more secure arrangement.

Saves time and battery changes
I use my Panasonic GH4 to digitise movies, negatives and 35mm slides, so it sits in a specially set up rig and it's inconvenient to keep removing it to change batteries all the time. This is an ideal solution, allowing the camera to be used all day without that waste of time. So far it has worked without a hitch.
