The Neewer NW-81 is an entry level condenser microphone designed for capturing audio for video and improving the sound quality over the "on camera" microphone.

In this video, I test the Neewer NW-81 and compare the audio quality with my current studio setup, which uses an MXL 550 large diaphragm condenser microphone.

The results are quite surprising and considering the mic costs just over US$20 and includes all the clips and cables you'll need, and even a wind shield, the value on this one is pretty good!
