This is really cheap, do not know how good it is, need to make some tests. Just note that interview mike must be long and preferably omni.
For exhibition PV team uses https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/983578-REG/senal_eng_18rl_hand_held_omni_dynamic_eng.html I really love the sound and performance of it.

Ah darn, that is a pity, as the average reporter is pretty unskilled with audio handling.
Any man without brain tumor learn quite fast, especially properly hold microphone.
All, 100% of mikes used for such task have handling noise.
Thing we talk about here is level and spectrum of this noise.
Also it has worse handling behavior (if you move hand or impact mike)
Ah darn, that is a pity, as the average reporter is pretty unskilled with audio handling.
I first saw this mic at the BIRTV show. I think it is a good mic. Works great with the Tascam DR-10X. It does have more handling noise so that is something to watch out for. It feels different in the hand than the Senal which I have used, a little more beefer.
We have 5 Senal mikes around the world. And one Boya.
Just check PV videos and you'll see Boya used during NAB NY.
As I said, it has less LF sensitivity, I also make it slightly brighter by EQ usually.
Also it has worse handling behavior (if you move hand or impact mike), means that suspension is slightly worse than Senal. Senal has very good handling with it being only LF, easy to remove.
Ah I wasn't 100% if you might have been only referring to having the Senal reporter mic (you have that one too?) and not the Boya
As I said, we have one. It is quite good.
For unprocessed audio as reporters mike especially, as it has much lower LF sensitivity (below 100Hz).
I've got the Senal one myself, but has any one tried out this Boya reporter mic?
so is this one worth 50? cant find samples

Note - it is not raw sound, processed and EQ added.
It looks good, do not worry abut this. Just this time it was printed smaller.
The "PV" symbol looks to me someway old and amateur. Need and upgrade to a modern one, just my opinion.

We'll later post comparison with our main reporters mikes that all team use.
