Rated 5 out of 5

Sets the standard for low priced shotgun microphones.

This is the mic I recommend to all my students and clients when they?re looking to set up their home self-taping environment. It?s uncanny the quality this inexpensive microphone provides! Runs for months on a single battery, handshakes with TRS or TRRS devices, light and easy to carry around, or mount on a lightweight stand or boom pole. There?s just no excuse anymore to record your videos using the built in microphone on your device!

Awesome bang for the buck

Great mic for run and gun shooting and works fine for nat sounds as well. Hard to beat for the price. Build quality was surprisingly high and the ability to slide the mic forward and back on the shouck mount is great for maintaining use of the eyepiece.

Everything I Expected. Would Recommend.

This microphone was referring I expected it to be. The sound quality is great. Better than my Rode VideoMic Go, but that was to be expected. The build quality is solid. The connections are all tight fitting. The auto on feature works with my Sony A7iii, so no complaints there. There are pros and cons to removable and buil in rechargeable batteries. This is the former. The latter is reserved for their "pro" model. I use rechargeable batteries of my own in this, which allows me to have a supply that will last all day, and not have to constantly throw them away and buy new. A built in rechargeable is convenient, but once it dies, you're dead until you get it recharged, and that's a problem if you're not done shooting. As a result, I actually prefer the non pro feature here. It worked well with my Galaxy S8. I purchased a TRRS to TRS cable to get it to work with about any device that accepts mini stereo inputs, but you have to manually turn the mic on/off with that approach.

Gosh dang...

These mics are pretty fantastic. Used in a loud wedding environment and the sound isolation was pretty sweet. Could hear the conversations happening in camera which weren't heard in real time.

No More Excuses To Use Internal Mics
The V-Mic D3 is the workhorse on-camera microphone you've always wanted. Built with a lightweight uni-body aluminum metal body it offers you the strength to stand up to the same elements your camera can handle.

Broadcast Quality Sound
The V-Mic D3 has a superior off-axis sound performance compared to some of the other on-camera microphones on the market at this price range. Combine that with its low self noise and low distortion and this microphone will make want to use your camera's audio in the final mix of your video.

• Low noise circuitry
• Extremely Low Distortion THD (<0.1%)
• High-grade SNR (max. 78dB at -32dB sensitivity)
• Same 14mm Prepolarized Condenser Capsule as the V-Mic D3 Pro

Featuring Our Smart 3.5mm Microphone Output
Out-of-the-box the V-Mic D3 is compatible with

• DSLRs
• Camcorders
• Smartphones
• Handy Recorders
• Laptop
• Bodypack Transmitters
• Tablets

As soon as you plug the V-Mic D3 into a 3.5mm microphone jack of a device its microprocessor shakes hands with the device. This means no more adapter cables.

Swappable AAA Battery
The V-Mic D3 uses a single AAA for power. It also features a one button on/off switch. When turned on the microphone is ready in Stand-By-Mode and automatically goes into Run-Mode when the camera or device turns on. This also allows you to save battery on your microphone when you turn your camera off.

(150 Hr Battery Life @ 900mAh NiMH AAA / 12 Hrs) x 4 = 50 Shoot-Days
You can shoot for 50 weeks before you'd have to recharge you 4pc of AAA batteries again. That is nearly a year's worth of weddings on one charge. And remember NiMH batteries can be recharged 500 times.
