Excited to try it out!

Greatly improves sound quality of Sony Nex-5n. It's compact size doesn't add too much bulk to the camera.

Simply the best pocket camcorder you can buy.

I am pretty satisfied with the camera I purchased. It is compact and has all the necessary features one may need.

This has been a great unit both above and below the sea. small size and lots of great stuff like GPS, iPhone remote screen and more. We have used the unit for Scuba and Mnt Biking and realy like it.
