Reviews around size (4.75 of 5)

  • Dislike : size for vlogging, i knew it would be bigger than its smaller brother but it is only once on the camera and using it arms extended or traveling that you realize size might be why you would stop using it at some point..
  • The size is smallest I've seen, except if you were to have a lavaliere mic, but the compact size and sound quality makes this a great budget purchase
  • A longer microphone would have been in the shot, so the size of this mic works great for small cameras
  • Using it on a Panasonic G7, great sound, compact size and no batteries to worry about.
  • This is a good ideal size and performance for those who are on a budget but want a good Mic

Reviews around thing (3.76 of 5)

  • My one complaint is the tiny thing only comes with a *huge* deadcat wind muff, and there do not seem to be options for a small, foam wind muff like I would prefer
  • i have nothing but good things to say, well, only 1 thing: when the mic is attached to my cellphone, and the wireless or data (either one) is turned on, the microphone will actually pick up the sound of data being transmitted and received.i actually "returned" because i thought it was picking up some kind of weird noise.
  • Only thing that would give better audio would probably be a lav mic, but that's not very portable or mobile for a phone.
  • The good thing about this microphone is that you don't need to have any kind of power source to use it
  • Came with a fuzzy dead cat thing to cut down wind noise and it works quite well

Reviews around hiss (1.37 of 5)

  • They sound like a motor they purr sound loud, but the hissing from this mic is so loud you can even hear the purr
  • Now, I know the hissing can be cleared up a bit post production, but I thought It wouldn't be a problem at all
  • Although the sound from the Comica vm10ii mic was good, the hiss was so loud, I had to lower the cameras preamps to extremely so levels so the audio became too low
  • There was significant hiss recorded with the audio
  • I'm writing this one-star review after another frustrating video editing session where nothing I just shot is useable due to the LOUD hissing sound from the mic

Reviews around noise (1.19 of 5)

  • Microphone has static noise when recording it's gotten worse over time other than that it's great
  • Intermittent static and noise on the mic but not sure if it's the mic or the phone - galaxy s6

  • Surprisingly good directionality and side/rear noise rejection
  • Good sound and pretty low noise floor when your not using a canon camera.
