Description of Movo VXR3031 Shotgun Microphone - On-Camera Super-Cardioid Mic with 2-Step High-Pass Filter, 3-Stage Audio Level Control, Headphone Monitoring Input, and More

SUPERCARDIOID POLAR PATTERN: The narrow concentrated pickup area directly in front of the microphone greatly reduces unwanted surrounding noise and delivers direct-to-camera studio-quality audio. COMPATIBILITY: Features a 3.5mm TRS connector for recorders, camcorders, DSLR and mirrorless cameras with a standard 3.5mm mic input. 1-YEAR WARRANTY: We’ve got your back! Our products are designed to ease your technical woes, not add to them. Our friendly US-Based support is here to help. CLEAR AUDIO: Eliminate low-frequency ambient noise with its 2-step high-pass filter (Flat & 80Hz) and reduce wind interference with the furry and foam windscreens. 3-STAGE LEVEL CONTROL: Provides a +20dB boost, 0dB unity gain so you can be heard loud and clear, or a -10dB PAD to prevent distortion when recording in noisy environments.

Excellent combination of properties

Low price, high quality. Works well right out of the box. Came with two soundproof sleeves, one foam sleeve and one windproof sleeve. The headphone jack is a definite plus. The only downside is that the fuzzy windsleeve is difficult to put on the foam sleeve or very loose when soloing the mic.

Pros
  • Beautiful
Cons
  • Compatibility

Excellent features and performance for the price

This mic works great. Provides pure signal amplification and attenuation. Direct headphone output. Good beam pattern and focus. A lot of technology for the price. We use it to shoot a documentary with a Sony A6500. Couldn't be happier.

Pros
  • Holding my fists
Cons
  • Style 90

Slightly larger than expected, the dead cat's lid is tight.

I love the microphone. I'm a photographer by trade and took this mic for a spin, but having used it a few times I'm really enjoying the mic and its capabilities. I was pleasantly impressed and use it as a microphone. i know crazy Thank you Movo for a decent product and you have a new customer.😊

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Updates

Works but has noticeable noise and background hum

I ordered this in April and finally got around to making a video with it and to be honest I'm disappointed that there is noticeable noise and hum in the shot, which makes me waste extra time cleaning up in post-processing. Note. I record with a Sony recorder, which usually produces a very crisp, clear sound with good external mics. Unfortunately, the return period has expired, otherwise I would have sent it back. I tried not to spend a lot of money on Rode, but I think I've learned my lesson…

  • Absolute Legend

Great purchase, exceeds my expectations

The sound quality of this microphone is excellent. It really competes with high quality microphones. First, I unknowingly sent the product back, thinking the shock absorber was too loose. I later learned that it shouldn't be hard and is actually a sign of great quality. I'll buy the mic again because otherwise it's great.

Pros
  • So far so good
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Works great so far for camera and photos

This microphone has worked great so far. The only problem I've had so far is that my batteries have been dying. I think that's because it turned on in my pocket and discharged when I wasn't using it. Otherwise it worked very well. I also like the ability to add a monitor headset. I haven't used this in video shooting yet, but it worked very well in testing. I use this to live stream my daughter's soccer game. Dress well. The only problem I have is that it also picks up noise from the side. I…

  • Good workmanship
