The media could not be loaded. Shotgun Microphone?How do you choose an external microphone for your videos, vlogs, and films? It can be very confusing even for professional videographers. After having lived with the onboard camera microphones for a few weeks, you'll quickly decide you need an external microphone.Built-in microphones just cannot provide the kind of sound that would complement the high definition video quality of today's cameras. If you decide to check out microphone reviews, you end up with loads of reviews, leaving you more confused than ever.Comica CVM-VM20 ShotgunIt is not easy to make an informed decision based on the different recommendations. The choice of makes & models is quite astonishing.This video gives your ears the ability to help make your decision. I have put this mic into several real-world scenarios on different cameras so that you can "hear" the clarity and quality.For those video makers, intermediate or advanced shooters, and vloggers exploring a sophisticated mic at an affordable cost to help get rid of lens zoom noise or unwanted ambient sound, the Comica VM20 is a blessing in disguise. In disguise, because the mic offers professional quality in a small compact size. With more controls at the mic, including full 10-stop gain control and two highpass filters, it provides far better control over your existing on-camera mic, which typically records those annoying sounds in the background.This Comica VM20 is a professional shotgun microphone explicitly designed to be used with high-quality digital mirrorless, DSLR, Action Cams, Smartphones, and Camcorder cameras. It is simple to mount the shock mount into your camera's hot-shoe or a cold-shoe on your mount or LED light. For sound output, all required is a stereo mini-jack input on your camera or a mini-jack to XLR adapter for use on professional camcorders. It comes with an 8" long coiled audio cord, which should give most shooters enough reach to the mic input.Let's talk about the weight of this mic; with its ultra-lightweight construction, it can even be used on small action cameras! Do not misinterpret its durability because of its lightweight; its all-metal construction makes it tough enough to shoot under rugged conditions.The mic is featured with foam and dead-cat windscreen in the front that aids in reducing noise from the breeze and low wind speeds. It enhances the voice quality incredibly, and its two high pass filter settings come into action in case one further wants to get rid of any low-frequency rumble of the wind.This VM20 is powered by an internal battery charged with a USB-C connection and offers an LCD status indicator.At the price point of $129, this is offering an extraordinary audio quality with excellent directional pick-up and at the same time canceling sound arriving from the sides. Surprisingly, it easily picks up voices at moderate volumes from over 20 feet away. Its shock mount aids in reducing camera-operating noise, background hiss, and wind sounds. It also protects the mic from shocks and jolts as an outcome of camera operation.

I received this product yesterday for a documentary shoot today. So easy to use I was able to just go with it with only one test run. Used this mic for two hours straight and the battery life still showed full. It took me about 10 minutes to top it off for tomorrow's shoot. And the sound quality was great in windy conditions with the fuzzy wind muff on. The low end noise cancelling really helped with the wind noise. It is a VERY sensitive mic so there is some wind noise, but it was also able to pick up people several hindered feet from the camera very clearly. I am so in love with this company. I will probably be changing all of my audio equipment to Comica

I've never used camera mics of any sorts but it's kind of hard to find anything with good reviews on Amazon (I usually don't trust anything under 4.5 stars). I kept looking at my choices and since I didn't wanna buy anything too cheap or too expensive, 100 bucks seemed like a good middle ground. It matches my tripod and I love black and orange, but those were just added benefits. From the bit of usage that I've had with this mic, I kind of wish that the gain knob would have more resistance so that you wouldn't accidentally bump or move it since I use it on this small handheld camcorder (Sony AX43A) and both the zoom and photo buttons are directly behind the dial. So far, the quality sounds fine I guess but most of my uses have been either outdoors or at worship services from all the way in the back, so I'm not sure how good it is for small spaces or interview-style videos. The only thing I can say for sure is that the battery does indeed last for a good while.My biggest complaint is that fluffy windmuff thing. I put it on once and it left fur all over the place. I had it over the soft one because it fits right on top and I'm not sure if that's the proper way of using it but it saved me from getting fur stuck inside the actual mic. It looks like most of that loose fur is on the inside of the windmuff. Glad I didn't get it on my camera lens either

I bought this mic Oct. 11, 2021I have 2 ORDRO cameras and this mic is a great improvement. It has 2 filter modes for filtering out the background noise and a gain control. The lithium battery is rechargeable and lasts forever.This mic provides great audio.One of the nice things is that it comes with a hard case that protects the mic and all of its components.This is an excellent camera mic.

The sound was much better than I expected at this price point. One of the best purchases I’ve made recently.

The Comica VM20 is a great mic for the on-the-go filmmaker. The microphone is all aluminum construction body and come with a foam insulator and wind muff (dead cat) which does a great job at cutting out excess wind noise. It also comes with 2 3.5mm jack cables to use with your camera and smartphone. I've used this mic on a couple of test shoots and I'm very please with the results I've gotten. The sound is very clean and accurate it does an amazing job at picking up voices and filtering out annoying ambient sounds. I will definitely recommend the Comica VM20 to anyone new to filmmaking and needs microphone for a higher production value because let's face it, the mics built into our cameras are awful. At this price point you get alot for your money and with the quality of materials used and the sound quality of the VM20, I will surely be using for years to come
