Microphone device used with attaching to image capturing apparatus

A microphone device used with attaching to an image capturing apparatus, the microphone device comprising:

• a microphone main body configured to include a microphone element capable of collecting sound;
• an attachment portion configured to be attached to the image capturing apparatus;
• and
• a connecting portion configured to connect the microphone main body and the attachment portion,
• wherein the connecting portion includes a shock absorber that mitigates transmission of vibration from the image capturing apparatus to the microphone main body and a cover that houses the shock absorber,
• wherein the shock absorber includes a first fixed portion fixed to the attachment portion, at least one second fixed portion fixed to the cover, and elastic coupling portions that couple the first fixed portion and the at least one second fixed portion,
• wherein each of the coupling portions has a curved portion that is curved at a middle position between the first fixed portion and the at least one second fixed portion, and
• wherein the curved portion has a first surface and a second surface that face each other on an inner side of the curved portion, are capable of approaching and separating from each other, and are separated from each other in a natural state in which no external force is applied.
