UPDATE: I misspoke about the headphone output on the MOVO DoubleMic. Unfortunately, that headphone output does not work how I thought it did. It only works for playback when you're using it with a smartphone, not as a monitoring solution with cameras that don't have headphone outputs.
This was such a well produced video in terms of organization and tests. Answered exactly what I was looking for, especially that last part about using the D4 mini from the back. Take my like!
Totally agree with your findings. I've owned them all but the Movo and the Deity D4 mini is now my go to and it's the least expensive. Add the extra input and I think Deity knocked it out of the park. Great Review!
OMG! That trick to get the Rode Video Micro to stay upright is exactly what I need. Couldn’t use the deadcat with it on my ZV1 before because the thing would keep coming into my shot. THANK YOU!
I own the mic and it was a huge disappointment. The wind noise makes it unusable and it doesnt handle loud volume well. Great idea but I hope they improve it over time.
I was wondering if I could record my vocals and my guitar simultaneously with the deity D4 mini. I really need to know your thoughts on this. Thank you
I've just stumbled across your channel, this being the first video of yours I've seen - it was really well put together and I've taken a lot away from it! Thank you and keep up the good work :)
i owned both Deity D4 Duo and Sennheiser MKE200 and i'm love it. i've been using them on my omso pocket 1 and pocket 2. quite expensive but the audio is superb.
Thank you! You are great help. Finding affordable gear for creating content is a challenge. Most of us starting off don’t have the money to spend an arm or leg. I was about to go for the rode, because alot of people have complaint about the deity duo in regards to wind. I was not aware there is also a mini version. I just researched the deity mini everybody seems to talk good about it. And thanks to you I found out about the product.
I own(ed) the Movo DoubleMic and the Sennheiser MKE400. Once I got the 400 it stayed on my camera permanently because it sounded great but also it was a little sleeker and more solid with the hard connection to the camera. The shock mounts on the other small mics tend to get a little wobbly and in the way it seems. My Sennheiser mic was stolen ( along with my camera,lens etc) so now I almost exclusively find myself using my old Movo VXR10 microphone which for around $40 is probably the best sounding and easiest to use camera mic on the market. A lot of the Deity and Movo specialty mics like the D4-Duo and DoubleMic get a bit confusing with the different cables and switches to go from smartphones to cameras. I know the Deity has some auto smart detection but I've had some issues with them in the past. Even the Movo DoubleMic took some troubleshooting to get working and I just don't have time for that. Plug in and record is all I want the mic to do. Maybe I will try some more tests on my mics this morning.
You can get a Boya MM1 for $18 and it’s totally worth it. I been using mine for a while and haven’t had any issues. Only downside it doesn’t do so well on high winds but where I live there’s rarely any wind. So I’m very happy with the Boya. If you want to spend $60 on a mic I recommend getting 2-3 boya mics instead, just in case you need backups or extra mics.
Love the intro, Dunna! 😂 I called it! Deity takes the Gold and Bronze spots!! D4 Mini, Rode Video Micro then the D4 Duo! Great review as always!! The Rode and Deity mics are close, but for me and my vocal tones, I much prefer the reproduction of the Deitys! Oh and double bubble on two reason 2's and why not, I say!! ✌🏾😁
Thanks for the heads up on the Movo double mic recording both channels on the same track. That's definitely a deal breaker for me. I was really close to buying that mic but I think I'm better off saving to get the D4 Duo now instead. Thanks again!
@@GregTardif I also have the Movo single mic and was really hyped when they announced that they were releasing a dual capsule mic similar to the d4 duo at a more affordable price, but man it definitely looks like the d4 duo is the way to go.
I actually find the Deity D4 Duo being handy with both ends as both have different sensitivities. The front seems to catch more audio and the rear one seems to be a bit isolating. You can use a hack and flip the mic and use the rear one as mono for more noise cancelation when needed, while the front one would be great for nature or when you want more audio. Getting the Sony ECM-B1M when it's available, but the Diety D4 Duo should work good for the camera cage when needed.
Great video Dunna! 🙌 The Deity sound great for the price - think I’m going to stick with the Rode VideoMicro until I find a need to actually upgrade, it’s a great little mic!
The problem with every one of those wind screens (Dead Cats) is they aren't worth a crap. I've learned that putting a finger from a surgical rubber glove or like thin rubber device over the mike before installing the DEAD CAT, really eliminates wind noise. The other option Like I did over 15 years ago is invested in a GOOD ($160 Dead Cat) for the Shotgun Mic that came with My now DEFUNCT Canon LX-1. I still use this mic with my Canon XA-30. This DEAD CAT actually stops wind noise upto 15 to 20 mph depending on the direction in relation to the Mic. Anyways you get what you pay for when you know what your buying.
Great comparison Dunna...Deity are awesome microphones (Have the D3 Pro and the Lav). It was disappointing to hear the Sennheiser did so poorly, I love the look of that mic.
We must have very similar ears as I completely agreed with you across the board. Movo was just...bad. Sennheiser was too thin. The Deity Mini sounded just a bit better to me than the Rode. Great video!
Excellent video and a very professional explanation. That Deity Mini microphone is apparently going to be a bestseller. It is very interesting in a compact size.
Thanks for the awesome video! I also like the D4 Mini and Rode the best. I have a hard time telling the difference in the audio quality from those mics. I'll take your word for it that the Deity lets more audio from the back of the mic in which is important for me because sometimes I'm filming my husband but asking questions or responding from behind the camera.
Been using the Rode VideoMicro for about six years - actually started with the VideoMic Go and switched to the VideoMicro because it was smaller and sounded better. What's not to love? Used it with a variety of Panasonic mirrorless cameras, Sony video cameras, and iPhones and it's worked great in all of those situations. That said, I'm using my rig for recording music performances so the greater directionality of the Rode works well for my application. Thanks for the comparison video!
Wonderful video, thanks to share it. I use Lumix GH6, do you know it and its ampli? In your opinion which mini nic. could I buy? However, I don't have to speak in front of the microphone, I only make documentaries but not in the city. I shoot people in the open and remote countryside. Then ... difference between Deity D4 Mini and Duo? Which is better for normal use? Thanks
Hey Dunna, nice video! At 8:21 you say that the Movo has a headphone output so you can monitor audio with a camera. The Movo looks very similar to the Boya BY-MM1+. When I reviewed that microphone I found that you can only listen to the audio during playback while using it on a smartphone. There are work arounds to use the headphone output while recording, but that’s also only available when recording with a smartphone. Can you check if this is also the case for the Movo? Maybe worth mentioning in the description or comments?
Thank you for this most helpful comparison. I am an actor and I often film auditions with a reader, who is behind my Samsung S21 Ultra smartphone camera. Which of the two Deity mics would be better for this kind of filming, i.e. the main subject in front of the camera and the reader behind, where both, but mainly the front subject, need to be heard? Your reply would be most welcome. Thanks so much! 🙂
Great video! Which one would you recommend for a desk/home environment? I find most of the popular desktop microphones and mounts to be too bulky and obtrusive. I was thinking of just getting something small like this with a gooseneck mount to the side of my desk. Thank you!
Awesome video. Gleaned so much. Was wondering though, what mike do you use for your videos, also do you prerecord in then sync it with the video? also if you are recording vocals and video in real time the seems decently far enough to be invisible on the audio, okay that's why I'm interested in the knowing what mike it is. Thank you. Anticipating your reply.
Thank you so much for talking about the Rode shock mount sagging fix, I thought I bought an defective product because it sags so much, now I don't need to return!
Great comparison review! I'm looking for a super compact mic with a tiny deadcat. Any thoughts on the MOVO windscreen on the Deity mini? My Rode Video Micro is just too bulky for my application. Thanks!
I like the Diety D4 Mini but honestly the shock mounts are horrible and break just as fast as the rode version. I started buying the cheaper movo mounts. They seem to last (a little longer) and no wiggle noises.
I listened twice without looking at which mic was being sampled, and easily liked #2 the best for quality. That's the Deity D4 Mini. Glad you mentioned this: 14:00 because I expect I'll often be in that practical pinch.
Quick question, I enjoy playing the piano in my spare time and am wondering which mic you would recommend for me, as I will often record some melodies I make with my phone (iPhone 11) and don't really have a whole lot of money to throw around (hence why im here), but i am looking for something that will hopefully give better audio quality when recording and listening back on them afterwards, I only really intend on using it for that and probably wont need it for any voice recordings.
Which one is good enough for backup and is sturdy enough not to break when put in pocket? Yups mke200 it is... Getting the mke400 though, dont mind the battery and is still sturdier then any thing under 200€
thank you. I was able to skip to the end to find out which one. I'm buying the deity mini d4 as you suggested. I'm wondering if I should also buy the deity lav mic. Thoughts?
While I'm generally not a fan of the Diety mics I do agree with your choice here, and am quite disappointed in the Sennheiser, which I love their professional shotgun mics.
Rode Micro and Deity Duo have been battling it out for a while! I ended up going with the Deity a while back, because I felt like the Rode had a little bit more noise. Maybe it was my camera, who knows.

Hey Dunna...I have the Rode Micro...not bad...but when I use it with my Sony FX30 during a wedding reception I would like a mic that not only records from the front but also records from all around...I guess I want a mic that has a cardiod pattern and also and additional setting for ominidirectional....just wondering...maybe the Deity Duo?
Nice video! I am currently recording free guitar lessons on my channel and looking for the best mic for the iPhone and am currently using the Shure MV88. What would you recommend for the best mic for recording voice and instrument together?
A lot depends on this being a U'Tubby Video and their Compression CRAP for one. Then for two what is your audience listening to this/your video on. Is it a Cell Phone Speaker/Ear buds? A Laptop or computer speakers or a 5.1/7.1 Dolby Surround sound system Like I use connected to my Editing Laptop. Or possibly a GOOD set of Headphones. Really doesn't matter what the Mic picks up if your audience don't have a GOOD speaker set up. It's like creating 5.1/7.1 Surround content with Davinci Resolve and uploading it up to U-Tubby and they compress it and send out only Stereo.
I purchased the Movo vxr10 as my first mic and it sucks, I use it in a pinch but I do voice overs for the majority of my stuff. I do need to invest in a decent mic.
UPDATE: I misspoke about the headphone output on the MOVO DoubleMic. Unfortunately, that headphone output does not work how I thought it did. It only works for playback when you're using it with a smartphone, not as a monitoring solution with cameras that don't have headphone outputs.
Everyone makes mistake dunna no worries 😉 ✌️🙏

Totally agree with your findings. I've owned them all but the Movo and the Deity D4 mini is now my go to and it's the least expensive. Add the extra input and I think Deity knocked it out of the park. Great Review!
They really did!!
OMG! That trick to get the Rode Video Micro to stay upright is exactly what I need. Couldn’t use the deadcat with it on my ZV1 before because the thing would keep coming into my shot. THANK YOU!
Bam!
Another advantage of a small microphone is that it makes balancing a gimbal easier. Great video!!!
Truth!!
This is the third time I'm watching your review here, and I've enjoyed it each time!
All these people here talking about mics and no one talking about Dunna being the newest and greatest Spice Girl.
I’ll be pumpkin spice
...or Spiced Dunna! 🤔🤩
Probably most surprised at the d4 duo, really enjoyed the tone and clarity of that mic. Nice work as always.
Thanks a lot!
I own the mic and it was a huge disappointment. The wind noise makes it unusable and it doesnt handle loud volume well. Great idea but I hope they improve it over time.
I was looking at getting the Sen 200 but it doesn't sound anywhere near as good as the D4 mini, definitely going to go with that. Thanks
The Senn MKE400 sounds great too so it was a bit disappointing that the 200 didn't share that.
I was wondering if I could record my vocals and my guitar simultaneously with the deity D4 mini. I really need to know your thoughts on this. Thank you

I’ve been happy with the D4 Duo. I have the MOVO (not double) and that one is pretty neat, a bit hotter than a rode micro go
The DUO is solid for sure! I wish they had slightly more robust windscreens for it though.
@@GregTardif I also have the Movo single mic and was really hyped when they announced that they were releasing a dual capsule mic similar to the d4 duo at a more affordable price, but man it definitely looks like the d4 duo is the way to go.

Great comparison Dunna...Deity are awesome microphones (Have the D3 Pro and the Lav). It was disappointing to hear the Sennheiser did so poorly, I love the look of that mic.
Deity V-Mic D4 Mini is the clear winner.

Great video, thanks. I ordered the deity d4 duo. What movo wind screen do you use that fits the d4 duo?
Dunna Did It, the budget filmmaker's best friend :)
Haha 😂 I dunno… I get enough comments from people saying I make them spend all their money to question this lol

Hello from New York City! Which mic was used to make the start of this video? Thank you for your informative video.
I went with the mke200 on my camcorder and the mke400 on my DSLR. Works for me, for now anyway...
Imagine happening upon someone in a park speaking the lyrics to "Wannabe" into a camera.
That's a heavy dose of spice girls.
Great comparison review! I'm looking for a super compact mic with a tiny deadcat. Any thoughts on the MOVO windscreen on the Deity mini? My Rode Video Micro is just too bulky for my application. Thanks!
Smoothness at it's finest If you Shazam any of the Songs Played Here 👌🎶👍
MOVO = BOYA?
For my taste:
1. Deity D4 Mini
2. Movo Double Mic
3. Rode VideoMicro
4, Deity D4 Duo
5. Sennheiser MKE200
What a great video!
What mic did you record this video with, particularly in the field? Sorry if you mentioned, didn't catch it.
I like the Diety D4 Mini but honestly the shock mounts are horrible and break just as fast as the rode version. I started buying the cheaper movo mounts. They seem to last (a little longer) and no wiggle noises.
I listened twice without looking at which mic was being sampled, and easily liked #2 the best for quality.
That's the Deity D4 Mini.
Glad you mentioned this: 14:00 because I expect I'll often be in that practical pinch.
If you’ve seen my Porsche road trip video, that was all with the D4 mini and it sounded great to my ear!

how did that like button just light up when you mentioned it on cam 🤯
Bought a D4 Mini with your link!
I love the closing clip haha so relatable
This video is really helpfull dunna awesome 👏 ❤️
My pleasure 😊
Which one is good enough for backup and is sturdy enough not to break when put in pocket? Yups mke200 it is... Getting the mke400 though, dont mind the battery and is still sturdier then any thing under 200€
I really want tacos.
Edit: amazing video dude! Thank you so much for all of this valuable information. I think I’m going to settle with the D4 Mini.
did u get
Your video was really helpful dear friend, thank-you so much...! 😇😇😇
thank you. I was able to skip to the end to find out which one. I'm buying the deity mini d4 as you suggested. I'm wondering if I should also buy the deity lav mic. Thoughts?
did u get the d4?
Great review.!
Thanks!
I'm just going for "like" coz the " tell what you want " had me laughing hahaha
While I'm generally not a fan of the Diety mics I do agree with your choice here, and am quite disappointed in the Sennheiser, which I love their professional shotgun mics.
*VideoMicro is the way to go!*
great review
Rode Micro and Deity Duo have been battling it out for a while! I ended up going with the Deity a while back, because I felt like the Rode had a little bit more noise. Maybe it was my camera, who knows.
The DEITY D4 mini is a cardioid (the others are supercardioid I believe): is this a real problem to pick up the sound of the voice on the back when it is attached to the camera?
If picking up the voice from behind is super important, definitely go with the deity d4 duo. All the other mics have pretty good rear rejection.
That was a serious test.
Hey Dunna...I have the Rode Micro...not bad...but when I use it with my Sony FX30 during a wedding reception I would like a mic that not only records from the front but also records from all around...I guess I want a mic that has a cardiod pattern and also and additional setting for ominidirectional....just wondering...maybe the Deity Duo?
Would the Deity work for birds? Not a pro very casual but would like to record birds with sounds.
good job, thanks
Nice video! I am currently recording free guitar lessons on my channel and looking for the best mic for the iPhone and am currently using the Shure MV88. What would you recommend for the best mic for recording voice and instrument together?
Does the MOVO reverse the polarity of one of the mics? If not that would be a HUGE oversight.
How do you get such good audio outside on a bench?!
Great simple video. The low spec Rode sounds great. What are Sennheiser doing? Lol
I think the Mic you are using to do this video is the WINNEr and that is???? what, the rode go?
I think it was the Rode videomic NTG at the time... but I don't remember for sure.
We have the IDOLCAM VlogStar V2 shotgun microphone, can we send you one for the next mic review you are doing?
Your left shoulder is much lower than the right! Thanks for the video
i really really want 1 of these
In case anybody is wondering, the MOVO is sold as BOYA in Asian countries.
A lot depends on this being a U'Tubby Video and their Compression CRAP for one. Then for two what is your audience listening to this/your video on. Is it a Cell Phone Speaker/Ear buds? A Laptop or computer speakers or a 5.1/7.1 Dolby Surround sound system Like I use connected to my Editing Laptop. Or possibly a GOOD set of Headphones.

It's like creating 5.1/7.1 Surround content with Davinci Resolve and uploading it up to U-Tubby and they compress it and send out only Stereo.
Which one would you recommend for smartphone?
One of those rare cases where small is better. Cool vid!
Neat right?
I purchased the Movo vxr10 as my first mic and it sucks, I use it in a pinch but I do voice overs for the majority of my stuff. I do need to invest in a decent mic.
Can you share what gimbal was used when testing the sounds? could not find that in the gear list
What mic did you use to fil me this video?
Hello, can the 3.5mm input on the Diety D4 Mini supply plug-in power to a condenser lavalier mic like the Shure MVL?
I came here wondering what mini mic I wanted.. Realized all I really wanted was a zig-a-zig-ah.
