Description of ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Deity V-Mic D3 Pro Location Kit: Professional Super-Cardioid Shotgun Microphone with Rycote Duo-Lyre Shock Mount - For DSLRs, Camcorders, Smartphones, Tablets, Handy Recorders and Laptops

๐Ÿ† |The World's Only Microphone with a Stepless Gain Knob|: The V-Mic D3 Pro Location Kit features a +20dB step-less analog gain adjustment dial. On each side of the dial the V-Mic D3 Pro features a bump guard that helps prevent the dial from being accidentally rotated. The +20dB of gain is added on a linear scale so you can dial in the exact amount of gain you need for the shot. ๐Ÿ† |Broadcast Quality Sound|: Superior off-axis sound performance. Low noise circuitry, Extremely Low Distortion THD (<0.1%), High-grade SNR (max. 84dB @-24dB sensitivity), 14mm Prepolarized Condensor Capsule. ๐Ÿ† |Smart 3.5mm TRS/TRRS Mic Output|: Out-of-the-box the V-Mic D3 Pro Location Kit is compatible with DSLRs, Camcorders, Smartphones, Handy Recorders, Laptop, Bodypack Transmitters and Tablets. Please Note that some iOS devices require Apple's Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter(NOT Included). ๐Ÿ† |75/150Hz Low Cut Filters|: Instead of a switch that is sunken into the frame that's hard to toggle, the D3 Pro does it all with a single button on top of the unit. With two levels of low cut the V-Mic D3 Pro is ready for even the windiest day. ๐Ÿ† |Intelligent Power On/Off|: The D3 Pro microphone is ready in Stand-By-Mode after you install the battery, and automatically goes into Run-Mode when the camera or device turns on. When the recording device is turned off, the D3 pro will automatically shut down after 15 minutes of standby to save power.

WARNING: SOME DOA!

Dead on arrival! I read that this happened to another buyer, but there were more positive reviews than negative ones, so I decided to give it a try. I will try to replace this item. I made sure it was SAME DAY DELIVERY BECAUSE I NEED IT THAT DAY! Well the day of shooting is over (yes I know it's my fault for being unprepared but still) big bummer. I will update my review if my replacement works.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Good but not great

Great microphone. I really love it!

It's light and amazing! Does NOT add weight to my camera! Works well. The sound quality is excellent! It has 2 height modes. Such a wonderful thing to get with this mic. The case you get is really good. I will be buying another one soon! Battery which is a plus compared to my Rode. Runs long and loads SUPER fast! Buy this mic over any of the Rodes. You will not regret it!

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • No automatic steering

MUCH better than Rode!

I didn't like it, do it first because I took it to a movie shoot and the sound was terrible! I was willing to send the mic back until I started troubleshooting. The problem was that I set the gain to 10 (palm face). I went and recorded on the beach with the gain set to 5 and the sound was amazing! This mic is powerful and great! I also thought it was just another Rode mic, but no! I just mounted the mic on the boom and connected it through my Zoom H5 and it's fantastic! My favorite microphoneโ€ฆ

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Very good value for money!

After searching the web for the best on camera pistol mic that doubles as a boom mic in a pinch, I settled on the Deity V-Mic D3 Pro and so far the my purposes very well served. I bought a locator kit with a Rycote shock grip and XLR converter and it was the perfect kit for my needs. I mainly shoot run and gun with a variety of cameras and the sound quality and flexibility of the D3 Pro between my A7III, XS Max and Hero Black 6 was very good. When I'm not directly connected to the camera I plug

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black

I really love this mic it makes it easy to record sound.

I really like it. I bought it because I had a Rode VideoMic Go which retailed for 100 and it made me work harder to clear the sound, time is money and I prefer to pay the extra bucks and Getting something amazing than dealing with occasional static and poor video mic sound quality. The special thing about this microphone is that I can change the gain on the microphone myself with a button. This is ideal for weddings and ongoing shoots. I can also use it as an overhead mic for interviews, whichโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Weight

  • A few little things

Sound Quality, Build Quality, Battery Life

The three most important things I expect from a microphone are sound quality, build quality and battery life. The Diety mic lasts days/weeks on a single charge and I love that it can be charged via USB or power bank and I don't have to carry around extra batteries. It goes with all my other devices. This mic works on a tripod attached to the camera or even on your sound table and does it all very well. I would recommend it to any other microphone in this form factor.

Pros
  • Microphones
Cons
  • Other Other
