The usb port on the bottom is a bit scary because the cord is so heavy it will probably break with much moving, as you can see from the broken ones on ebay

Some pointed research online indicated that the USB cable that ships with the camera is low quality, but numerous buyers also reported that the USB port on the mic itself was also failing.

There was power running to the mic showing that the cable wasn't the problem, and multiple USB ports weren't the issue either

Somehow though, both times, the USB port has broke

I have gone through three (3) of these mics within six (6) months simply because the USB port is garbage

The USB Port has a hardware issue and no longer turns on

The issue seems to be the USB port is so flimsy it cant consistently maintain connection

+.I had high hopes for these microphones but the USB port is too weak

Also, the usb port on the microphone itself feels very loose and my cords would often fall out if I simply moved the microphone a few inches

Either the USB port the microphone uses is trash or the microphone is trash

This microphone is good, just buy a screen so the p's don't pop and the s's aren't too sharp.
