COMICACVM-V30 LITE Camera Shotgun Microphone for Cannon Nikon Sony DSLR Camera and iPhone Android Smartphone, Supercardioid Professional Video Mic with Shock Mount Perfect for Interview Recording.

So I have been testing out this mic for a couple weeks, and I can say it is actually very decent. The audio it picks up is great not too "tinny" like a lot of budget mics it and what it says about low noise floor and super anti-interference holds true as well. If you are thinking of picking up an external mic for you camera or to use on your smartphone this is a great place to start.Pros- Price, it is budget friendly- Good Audio Quality- Built in shock mount works fairly well- Super Cardioid Pickup pattern is spot on it picks up very little whats happening to the sides or behind the mic- Very versatile and would be good for vlogging and much moreCons ( Honestly me mostly being nit-picky )- The shock mount feels a little flimsy- Dose not come with a dead cat filter- The Cable is hard wired into the mic and non replaceableOverall Great mic for the price and one I would recommend checking out if you are looking for this type of microphone

The media could not be loaded.  The Comica CVM-V30 LITE Shotgun Video Microphone is good for the money and comparable to other brands. Please see my video for an A/B test between this and a leading competitor.The packaging is nice and it arrived quickly. The only downside I can see to this mic is the cable is wired into it so if somewhere were to go wrong it would be harder to replace than on the Rode Videomic Go which has a wire that plugs in at both spots. On the plus side of that though, that is one less connection you have to check to ensure your mic is working.I noticed this mic had a bit more bass response to it. I will continue to use it on my 2nd camera. I use a Panasonic Lumix GH4

I will discuss three major aspects of this microphone: 1) Build Quality 2) Sound Quality 3) Value compared with other microphonesBuild QualityThe build quality of the CVM-V30 isn’t bad, but it isn’t particularly robust either. I haven’t found this to be a problem because of the shockmount included with the microphone. Once it’s mounted on a camera or tripod, unless it falls from a distance on to the ground, it won’t be an issue.Sound QualityI typically use high-end microphones like the Blue Baby Bottle and Rode NTG-4, etc. so by comparison, the CVM-V30’s quality isn’t the same. But I also have tested many similar microphones in the same price range, and they all tend to share the same trait of a good sound quality, but with a noticeably high noise floor. This microphone is very much the same. The noise floor is quite noticeable if you’re a good distance away from the mic, but I will say that the sound quality itself is better than most other low-end microphones like the Neewer, Takstar, etc.Value compared with other microphonesAs stated previously, the noise level is very comparable to most options in this price range, but the sound quality is somewhat superior with regard to bass response and even clarity.And now for the important question, should you buy it? If you plan on recording from a distance, I would say no. The noise level will be far too noticeable and you would be better served with a lavalier microphone of some sort. If you don’t plan on being too far from the microphone however, I quite like the bassy and rich sound that this mic achieves.Finally, if you have another microphone and are planning to use this as a back up track, I think it’s a great option.Let me know if you have any questions, good luck!

The media could not be loaded.  This mic works really well! I use our iPhones (with the iPhone plug adapter) to video our kids’ marching band, and we’re usually up high atop the stadium in the press box. It picks up highs and lows well without getting tons of wind disturbance.Only caveat, I doesn’t work well up close if you have any higher DBs at all :) like brass or wind instruments :) … yes, this is obvious. It might be ok if you’re just talking to it, like a vlog.

Ummm this had some great reviews but mines didn't work.

Pretty good microphone, I bought because people say this is the most affordable competitor of the rode microphones...I tried it on my camera and there is a HUGE difference with the microphone, very essential for videos.

If you're on a budget, this is a decent mic for half the cost of a Rode mic. Not as good as a Rode mic, but it gets the job done and is better than my Galaxy S10 mic.

As a YouTube creator I'm always looking for great audio at a great price. This microphone is amazing for the price. The sound quality is so good you don't have to edit the audio if you don't want to. This is now my favorite microphone. It's pretty sweet that it is universal with dslr's and smart phones!! Super light weight and No batteries required!! I will be using the Comica CVM-V30 LITE Microphone with my DSLR and with my phone when I get the accessories to mount it. Highly recommend!!

Alles gut gerne wieder

Good value for the money. Definitely a bit of a hiss but good videoediting software should be able to remove the hiss.

The media could not be loaded.  Comparing this microphone to its main competitor at this price point, the Rode Videomic Go, the V30 Lite eclipses it in terms of audio quality, as you can hear in my video review. A much nicer, fuller, crisper sound from the Comica V30 Lite than the Rode!It looks good - the build quality is sub-par, but you get what you pay for there. I would not describe the construction as particularly durable, but if you didn't throw it around too much I'm sure it wouldn't desintigrate too easily.It has a camera/smartphone switch (a feature lacking on the Rode), and - like the Rode - it is powered by the camera, so you don't have to worry about charging it or forgetting to turn it on or off.Overall - great microphone! Highly recommend.

The Comica V30 Lite microphone has been designed for use with cameras with the 3.5mm TRS stereo input socket and smartphone using the 3.5mm TRRS input. This can be direct on older models or via an adaptor for later IOS or Android phones.This is a short shotgun mic with a super cardioid pick up pattern. This has good forward capture and rejection of sounds to the side and rear.The built in shock mount helps to isolate any vibrations from camera handling.The supplied foam windshield is good for suppressing explosive pops from voice however is not very good at reducing wind noise outdoors. For this reason a fur windshield (dead cat) is preferable.The switch facility and fixed wiring from camera to smartphone is a great idea saving one extra connection point and allows very quick change over rather than swapping cables as with some devices.It is longer than most "on camera" mics but this is due to the construction to achieve the sound rejection at the sides of the microphone. The shorter mics tend to have a more omnidirectional pick up pattern.Excellent sound quality for all media production users.
