Thanks, good to know. Interesting problem about noise...from friction and hand movement?

No personal experience using these kinds of mikes, but Amazon sells this particular one at the same price, with 2-day Prime delivery.

 From long ago experience recording live events, I'd worry about noise isolation from any device directly attached to your phone unless you use a tripod.
