Had been considering a shotgun mic for our GoPro to do some outdoor recording of our son playing a trumpet solo for a class assignment. He normally used a Sure SM57 in his home studio, but that mic is not easily adapted to a GoPro. After looking at various compact shotgun mic's such as the Sure VP83 ($180), the Rode Videomic ($150), and the Sennheiser MKE 400 ($165), we decided to give the Comica CVM-VM10II ($40) a try first.The mic comes with 2 cables. One is for connecting to a camera, and the other is for connecting to a phone, although many phones are no longer available with a round jack. The camera cable was perfect to adapt to the GoPro Hero 8 with the Media Mod, which is necessary in order to connect to the GoPro. The cold-shoe mount on the isolater works great. No batteries are required, as this is a passive mic.We recorded a session in a parking lot on the outskirts of town. Someone started a motorcycle and rode out of the lot behind me about 1 minute into the first recording. I thought that we would need another take, but was delighted to find that the Comica's supercardioid function effectively omitted the motorcycle, while picking up the character of the instrument. Although we did another take, it was not necessary. The sound quality is very good, and the mic does a great job of capturing the trumpet's dynamic range. The Comica CVM-VM10II is a very good product at an excellent price - highly recommend!

1/7/2025 update: Still working and still satisfied. I guess I got lucky with this as Amazon has it listed as frequently returned. Good luck to you if you buy one.Tried it for the first time at an event and the sound is quite impressive. Great value too with all the extras that it comes with. The cold shoe mount looks flimsy and looks like it will break in the not too distant future.

I have this mic connected to a Sony handycam. Video and audio are recorded in OBS. Then edited in Davinci. Swapping to this mic from a lapel mic was a night and day difference in the audio quality.On a different setup Had tried the mic connected to a lapel mics rx but the audio was disappointing.

As a Sports Broadcasting videographer for 30 years this microphone works well as secondary shotgun mic for interviews and nat sound. We had the opportunity to use this mic during a red-carpet event in Houston, Tx and it worked awesome for getting interviews with the people, it really isolated their interviews from all the loud noise and people around us. I love all the accessories you get with this microphone kit like the mic holding mount, the cables to use with your cell phone and digital camera, the foam wind sock and the dead cat tail during strong winds BUT- THE DEAD CAT WILL GET IN YOUR SHOT if your shooting wide so keep that in mind- now you can zoom in a little but then that can be a challenge if you're doing interviews so I just stuck with the foam wind sock. This is a great product, so for all my broadcasters and photojournalist this is a must have if you're using your cellphone.

I can barely hear the audio that was recorded. The built in microphone of my camera is 3 times louder and clearer than this microphone.

After trying several microphones for my Insta360 AcePro, this one is by far the best. Unlike others, it doesn’t add any distortion—the audio is crystal clear. You can even increase the microphone input amplification on the AcePro, and it still sounds great, without the extra noise that other mics introduced. I’m very happy with this product!
