The mic itself is very solid, full metal cover. Sounds perfect for acoustic guitar.
The microphone clip is very tight (small). I could hardly manage the engage with the mic. It's made of very rigid, poor quality (made in China) plastic. Once I managed to put the mic on it I never want to take it off (I'm not even sure I can without braking the clip).
Besides the clip this is a decent mic for a little money.

Budget Mic, but Usable
Running a small recording studio I?m always on the lookout for new microphones to add to the locker. As with most studios the mic selection changes a lot; sometimes I?ve got in Gemini?s, high end AKG?s and other times I?ve got in budget mics like V67GS?s. I?m a firm believer that every microphone has a use; you just need to find its perfect application.
This small diaphragm condenser microphone is very pretty; it features a nice gold coloured capsule and soft touch metal body. On looks alone it?s worth its meagre price tag. The mic comes with a leather pouch, hard plastic clip and foam lined cardboard box.
I?ve experimented with this mic on a few applications. Firstly, on high hats it sounded rather harsh, the top-end was a little to brittle for my liking. Secondly, on acoustic guitar, it sounded quite dark. The low-mids seemed to drop quite a lot and the full bodied sound of the guitar was lost. Thirdly, on voice- don?t use this on voice. It?s only a SD condenser mic so it will naturally have less bass response but with the shrill high-end it makes for a terrible vocal mic.
It?s not all doom and gloom though, on percussion it stands out (a touch of EQ to roll of that shrill top-end) and it also fairs well on guitar cabs. It has its own sound and is a fairly noise-free mic.
At this price it?s worth taking a punt just to add some variety to your mic selection. You won?t be blown away but you might just find that retro sound you?ve been looking.

Get what you pay for
To be honest, a disappointment... but probably fair value for the price. I would say, pay just a bit more for a better small condenser mic. It is very small and that could be handy in some tight miking situation.

It's a littlebit more than its price:)
Not very special but better than its price suggest!
I use it for that tiny bit presence for my ride cymbal and that's what it does. I didn't want too clean and too expensive.
Once in the clamp you may not get it out lol.
I believe it can do good hihat or maybe budget overhead jobs!

Does not sound that great but cheap
It is a quite noisy mic and the sound is very thin and not very inspiring. I would not buy more.

its small
I bought this mic to try out if a small microphone would be handy.
for the small amount of purchase it does the job but is not the best small condenser
available.
there are no volume pads or filters on it but it can handle loud inputs.
it sounds a bit crispy and i use it sometimes if someones brings a spare/remote hihat. only advantage is the fact that its small and it does for instance fits in between cymbals to pick up the ride sound.
it gets the job done live but i definatly do not recommend it for any recording.
