Description of Deity V-Mic D3 Pro Location Kit Super-Cardioid Shotgun Microphone For DSLRs, Camcorders & More!

Just about anything with a 3.5mm microphone jack: The D3 Pro will work with phones, tablets, DSLRs, body pack transmitters. We have tested it on a dozen DSLR models, two dozen phones, a handful of Android-based tablets, and the microphone inputs on laptops. When plugged into devices that have a stereo microphone input, the V-Mic D3 Pro outputs dual mono tracks. The World’s FIRST Microphone with a Stepless Gain Knob: The V-Mic D3 Pro 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 each shot. Internal Battery: Inside the V-Mic D3 Pro lives a 320mAh lithium-ion battery. Run time for the V-Mic D3 Pro is 51 hours and standby time is 74 hours.The battery is charged using a USB-C port, and it is charged in a little less than 2 hours. Rycote Shock Mount with Handle:The V-Mic D3 Pro rides on your camera in our custom built Rycote Lyre shock mount. one of a kind on-camera shock mount.the D3 Pro however you want: forward, middle, back. This means the camera for perfect balance when using a gimbal. Underneath the cold shoe find a 1/4′′ 20 female thread mounting point ,can mount it with a friction arm and use the V-Mic D3 Pro as a plant mic. Low Cut Filters: 75/150Hz .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.

It never did work - my new review

It won't hold a charge at all. not sure why light comes on when plugged in but once unplugged no charge is held by it. Versatile and easy to use.

Pros
  • Versatile and easy to use
Cons
  • The microphone requires a lot of power to operate, which can quickly drain the battery life of the camera or recorder it is attached to

My go-to mic for videography

The Deity V-Mic D3 Pro is a high-quality shotgun microphone that's perfect for capturing crisp audio when recording videos. The super-cardioid polar pattern ensures that your audio will be clear and free from background noise, even in noisy environments. I particularly love using this mic for DSLR and camcorder videography, as it's easy to set up and use. The location kit includes everything you need to mount the mic securely, making it a great choice for location shoots. Though it's on the…

Pros
  • High-quality sound
Cons
  • Despite being a super-cardioid shotgun microphone, some users have reported that it still picks up some background noise and fails to completely block out unwanted sounds
