There is no volume control on the microphone, so I turned the input volume on my computer all the way up, and maxed the input sensitivity on my software. All I recorded was a mumbling whisper when I was speaking at normal volume 18 inches away from the microphone (which had a fresh battery). This product is useless.
Pros maybe it would work as a lapel mic.
Cons just simply doesn't work.

Were you recording with a Mac computer? If so, it would not work without a preamp. Inputs on Macs are expecting a line level signal and the ouput of a microphone is just not strong enough to drive the input.

Thank you for your inquiry. Even though the microphone has keyhole slots on the bottom to hold it down, I would not mount it on a ceiling because I would be afraid that it could fall and that would be safety issue. This microphone is battery powered.Age:Â 45-54
