Review on πŸŽ₯ Comica CVM-VM10II Camera Microphone: Professional Cardioid Shotgun Mic with Shock Mount for DSLR Camera, Camcorder, and Smartphone - Ideal for Vlogging and Video Recording (Black) by Tyler Parker

Revainrating 4 out of 5

As good as Rode VideoMicro but cheaper

I've been using this mic for 2 weeks and I have to say I'm very impressed. I've used it in comparison to my Rode VideoMicro and I have to say the sound quality is the same as the Rode. I did a full review on my YouTube channel Brian The Camera Guy where I did a direct comparison of this Comica CVM-VM10 to Rode VideoMicro. I really liked that this mic has extra gain and delivers a louder sound. Use a lower camera volume. This means I was able to set the Sony a6400 volume to 7 instead of 13 when using Rode. I also liked that Comica's dead cat (chickenpox) was a little further away from the shoe holder. It was really nice because a dead cat's fur didn't get caught in my hot shoe. I'm not sure I put the dead cat on correctly, but it didn't block as much wind as the Rode VideoMicro. Regardless, it did a great job blocking almost all of the wind, and the sound quality was still quite serviceable.
