Who it's for
Vloggers and DSLR/mirrorless shooters who want directional, on-camera audio that's noticeably better than a built-in mic without adding a wireless system.
Overview
A compact on-camera shotgun mic that mounts to the cold shoe of a DSLR, mirrorless camera, or a phone rig, aiming a directional super-cardioid pattern at whatever's in frame while rejecting side and rear noise. The Rycote Lyre shock mount isolates handling and camera-body vibration without foam that degrades over time, and it draws power straight from the camera's mic input — no battery to forget.
Pros
- Rycote Lyre shock mount noticeably reduces handling noise compared to basic foam mounts
- No battery required — powered directly by the camera or phone
- Directional pickup meaningfully improves on-camera audio over a built-in mic
- Compact size doesn't add much bulk to a camera rig or gimbal setup
Cons
- Still an on-camera mic — won't match a boom-operated shotgun for distance rejection
- Cable length between mic and camera input is on the shorter side for some rig configurations
What buyers say
About 2,200 ratings average 4.3/5, with 65% at 5 stars. Reviewers highlight the Rycote shock mount as a real upgrade over basic foam-mounted shotgun mics; some note it's still an on-camera mic, not a boom replacement.
Rycote mount makes a real difference
Compared it directly to a cheaper foam-mounted shotgun mic and says handling noise from walking while filming all but disappeared with the Lyre mount.
Big upgrade for run-and-gun vlogging
Uses it on a mirrorless camera for outdoor vlogging and says wind noise dropped noticeably once they added the furry windscreen from the included kit.
Good mic, plan your cable routing
Happy with the audio quality but says the included cable length required some rerouting to keep it tidy on a cage-mounted camera setup.
