Not likely going to work with out some sort of preamp between mic and camera to get enough gain from the mic. That Lav is a high impedance , unbalanced mic, designed to work with wireless transmitters, or other unbalanced inputs like the small digital audio recorders, consumer camcorders. The UM is a professional camera, with industry standard low impedance, balanced mic input with a low gain mic preamp, so it can not add enough boost to make this mic work.
You have a nice $4K+ Camera, why are you trying to use a $30 consumer mic that is not designed for use on a pro camera? This is a cheap mic and it is going to have a poor sound quality. I spend $200 to $1200 my mics, to get the best sound possible. The right tools for the job at hand.
A video production can have some bad photography, but it must have excellent sound, or you will turn off your audience right away.
Sennheiser makes some lovely XLR balanced, low impedance Lav mics that will work nicely. Audio Techinica also makes some good Pro Lav mics that should work
