Looking at the collection of iOS mics on that page, most of them have the p=
otential to apply fatal mechanical leverage to the Lightning connector on y=
our iOS device. Not field-recording-worthy, in my book. Why buy an external=
 mic that may ruin your $600 phone when you can have a recorder with built-=
in mics that doesn't have that Achilles' heel for $120?
