Congratulations to Gregg Pruitt for winning the Comica VM20 microphone! Gregg, reply to this comment and I will get in touch with you!
Thank you so much! I can't express how surprised I am. I assure you it will go to great use. Please advise as to how we can move forward.
I am over the moon ecstatic about this. Thank you thank you thank you.
I have been waiting to start a drone video channel for years. To that effect, I much appreciate your productions displaying a high degree of knowledge and enthusiasm. I have been involved in the field of R/C and drones for more than 40 years (no kidding) and continue the involvement as an Aeronautic College teacher and active drone flyer on several type of drones, from Tello size mini drones to the DJI Matrice series. With videos such as this one, you are adding pressure on the trigger... ;) Enjoying your informative and inspirational work!
I have Comica 2 transmiter lav system and love it. This shotgun mic would be a perfect match and would mainly be used on a boom pole for doing my future videos. Thank for the opportunity and keep up the excellent work.
Was just finishing setting up my TH-cam home studio, and my rode mic got stolen amount with most of my gear on vacation in california.
Was looking for a mic to replace it and this looks great.
Thanks Russ.
I'm in the prosses of setting up a home studio and this mic will be a very nice touch to add to the studio.
I have the BoomX-D wireless and i love it. I was getting the Rodes but man I got it so cheap on Black Friday and I couldn’t pass it up. Great Job Russ and have a merry Christmas
I always appreciate your videos. You have a very down-to-earth presentation style and you hit on the information that we are generally wondering. If I had this microphone, I would most likely use it as a studio mic like you do. I have the wireless go that I like to use when I'm in my car or outside and am currently using a video micro when I need something really quick (instead of setting up and turning on the wireless go).
As a high school student, I would use this mic to record voice-overs. Because schooling has gone online now, teachers are assigning video projects that require students to talk in the video. I had a project recently and my audio didn't sound great because I was using my laptop's built-in mic. This mic would definitely help with audio quality.
Not to be too nerdy here but technically you should be using a small diaphragm condenser for indoor audio. Shotgun mics are designed for outdoor use, the interference tube at the end is designed to help reduce noise coming from outside the pickup pattern, however they can serve to increase how much reverb the mic picks up indoors. This isn't to say that you won't get decent audio in a well treated space, but my understanding is that you should look at a small diaphragm condenser if you're recording indoors.
Also, just so people know, those wind muffs aren't designed to block outdoor wind, they're more designed to block wind caused from microphone movement (such as on a boom pole titling back and forth quickly between two speakers). If you want to block wind, you need a blimp.
I have this mic and I have used it on several projects. The audio is crisp and nice. The battery life is nothing to worry about as it can go a few days on a full charge. It has pro features like 75 and 100 db cut. It's a really nice mike .... until .... you start getting loud. I was doing a narrative based film with this mic when one of the actors had to shout aggressively as part of his dialogue for that scene. It distorted badly and very very obviously. Note: IT DID NOT CLIP. And this was the problem. After some investigation I found the SPL on this mic was on 105db and it had distorted because the mic just couldn't handle the volume of the actors voice in that situation. I tried another mic, my professional mic which is a Sennheiser ME66 and of course it passed my tests of me screaming down the mic at close range to try and get it to distort. The ME66 has an SPL of 130db. After some searching I discovered the DIETY D4 had the same SPL as my ME66 and so I purchased that. Problem solved. My Comica VM20 is now on eBay.
Hi Russ,
I would use this microphone for Zoom videos and interviews of my high school classmates. I use a Facebook page to keep us all in touch, even after 51 years... Yes, "51" years. Thanks Russ. Most informative drone channel out there.
My son really wants to start a TH-cam channel. I have no idea what he will put on it and neither does he! But I'm supporting him by getting him a camera for Christmas and he could use a mic too!
Checked in to see a drone video but really enjoyed the review on the Comica CVM-VM20 Microphone. I plan on doing some video and it is good to learn about the different microphones. Thanks Russ. Great video and content as usual.
I do believe the Comica produced a richer audio quality both indoors and outdoors. My use of it? Well I'm on the edge of starting a TH-cam channel and in studio audio is on my check list of items to purchase. This one would be great! Thank you so much for the quality information you share, i enjoy each one. Have a safe and Happy Holidays.
Looks like a good value. Thanks for running the giveaway.
Thanks for the review. The mic has nice response in the high range to keep your vocals crips and clear.
Wow! What a coincidence! I was just about ready to order a Rode Mic and haven't decided yet. I need a mic because I've been recording interviews with those who have been affected by the pandemic. The long battery life and ease of charging are great selling points. I'll have to do more research. Thank you so much! Love your channel by the way!
sold! I was looking for a reasonable price on a budget mic. I think this is the one! Finally, another missing link to my gear. Now equipped on ready to start recording better audio! Thanks! Love your channel!
Now THIS is a video I needed to see!!!
Excellent job Russ!!!!
I’ve been using the Rode Wireless Go for a long time now, nice review and pure good recommendation Russ. Definitely will get it. Thanks Russ!
The sound on the mic sounded really good. If i ended up getting it i would probably use it to start making youtube content.
I’d use it to record the “Nancys” complaining about my drone. 😂
What is a "Nancy"? I have an idea based on the way you used the term but, just curious.
@@peterphelps7969 lol I meant Karen. I was watching a story on the news about Nancy Pelosi at the time so I guess my fingers typed what I was seeing and not what I wanted. 😂
I would definitely use this microphone for all sorts of projects where I'm looking to incorporate voice overs and interviews.
I could definitely use this mic. I’m currently deployed and trying to start a TH-cam channel when I get home!!
Thank you for your service. You have my vote
Thank you guys! I really appreciate it. I’m excited and looking forward to being home again, and to get the channel started. You all are what makes America Great!
We appreciate volunteers like you making this such a great and free place to live. My daughter comes home for Christmas from basic tomorrow.
@@ThePaulievideo That is awesome to hear!! I know she is thrilled as I’m sure you all are dying to see her!! It’s always hard being away for the holidays. It makes you appreciate them more when you are home!
Would love to have that mic because of all the new features, especially the USB charging. That's a great feature, especially with dealing with phantom power issues. I'd use it as an upgrade on the Rode Video Micro I use nearly every day doing "standups" for news, and my upcoming TH-cam content that's being assembled right now. Keep up the great information for us Russ ! We really appreciate it, whether over here in Montana or elsewhere...
I have the Video Micro which is a surprisingly good mic for the money. I was thinking about replacing it with the Video Mic NTG, but I think you sold me on this one which I am not familiar with. The sound quality, price and battery life make for great value. So if you choose me it will be replacing my Rode Video Micro for zoom calls and training videos. Thanks for sharing.
Russ I love your thoughtful reviews on tech. I miss my friends in the Dakota’s pretty sure you will provide a great future for your kids. Thanks.
I would love to have this mic. Im currently working with Texas Select youth sports, and doing interviews. I recently bought my drone and watching these videos has also help me understand better how to get the best out of it. I really hope I win so I can show it off in the next interview.
Hi Rus, thanks for the review. The improved sound really does make a difference, wow! I could definitely use this mic as it will significantly improve the sound for my videos.
I'd use the mic for my ZOOM meetings, along with my ATEM Mini. Trying to up my ZOOM game!! LOL Thanks, Russ!
I am building my video workshop and next on the list of things to get is a microphone. Four weeks ago I was looking for a portable light source and you made my shopping quick and easy by reviewing the Panel Pro. Got it and liking it. Since winners luck is not something I ever have relied on, I should just order the Comica and be done with it. BUT I think I will wait a week. Who knows perhaps Lady Luck just might do a drive-by.
I been wanting to get into TH-cam with more details than I do on TikTok those are short wow videos but I feel I could help many others in my field through out the world and this would be a great step. I got my drone recently and working on my part 107 in order to use it.
Thanks Russ
I would use this on my Canon G30 while filming outdoors for our Hunting show Drawn to Whitetails and I would use on my iPhone 11 Pro Max for audio while doing live video Or just doing video with my drones or my archery shop ads using Canon or IPhone
Looks and sounds great. Upgrading and going to be doing more Drone and similar vlogging videos on our channel in 2021 so that Microphone would come in very useful !
I would use the mic for all my recording. drone, general video work and whatever else that comes up.
Good info and mic comparison Russ . Thank you sir . I'm still using the lavaliere mic and gopro clone camera. I'm planning to get the gopro 9 and that Comica would be a great addition . Thanks for chance to win and good luck everyone ! Stay safe and well .
I have just started my TH-cam channel and have noticed that the sound in my videos could use some serious help. I usually try to create A-Roll Audio using the voice-recorder app on my phone and lay in pertinent B-Roll footage. This camera would give me the opportunity to use my phone or GoPro to record A-Roll Video.
Perfect for my upcoming Road-Trips/Travel Vlogs!!
It’s been a challenge but I am trying to get my channel up and running. Audio has been the 800 pound Gorilla in the room. Great Video Russ always informative. Happy Holidays Brother, Love the Background.
Really appreciate the AV gear reviews and the presentation style with the comparisons.
Will start my first home studio and that Mic can be my first perfect one! Thanks for the opportunity to win one.
I would use it to record playing the piano. Great video Russ
I'm a starter at 50 and looking to use it with my gopro 9 and drone clips 😁
I would use in my tech videos, I've been looking for something to help not pickup the background noise in my home office where I record.
Everything sounds better than that wireless microphone you wear but I'm not in the TH-cam video game so give that mic to someone who wants it or needs it.
Thanks always buddy
Sounds nice & I like that you said it feels heavy in the hand so will double up nicely as a truchen device to swat those pesky "is that a drone? How far can it go ? 🥱 how much did it cost".
I would use it to make random content from drones to smart lights to nursing, and Everton in-between
This mic would be very useful in my fledgling video productions. Thanks for the video!
I would use this mic to record more quality educational and fun videos for my students (Greenfield Middle School) while on distance learning.
Sounds great for the price and quality. Would use it for our Paranormal investigations for picking up EVP's
I would love that mic to replace my clone BM-800 mic at my newsdesk. That thing looks awesome.
Hi Russ. Thanks for this review as I am trying to figure out on what all gear to research and potentially purchase to maybe start my own channel. I've been a longtime sub and always enjoy your unbiased thoughts and reviews. Merry CHRISTmas to you and your family.
Just starting my drone videos. I would like to get into more cinematic videos where I bring standard video and drone videos together. This mic will certainly help get me started in to getting good audio which I've been lacking in. Thanks for all your vids.
Been looking for a better mic. thanks for pointing out the options with examples.
Hi Russ. Like a lot here, this information comes at a great time. I was all set to go with Rode, but I think this Comica might be the better choice. Thanks!!!
I would use it for Zoom calls and real estate videos to record realtors' comments.
I would use the mic on my camera and also on boom stand to record video as I'm getting ready to start my youtube channel.
I would use it for my videos. I need a new mic and the cheapo one I'm using now has a bad habit of dropping levels during filming and I don't notice it until I start editing :(
Loved your presentation and detail info. If I am lucky enough to be picked to get the Comica , I would use it to help make videos for my family business:)
I would use this mic for everything, I have been wanting a usable Microphone for a long time
I would use it to film my lesson at the slipperycourse in Sweden.
Another useful video, thanks! I would use the Comica CVM-VM20 shotgun microphone for my Zoom sessions with my college students.
I would use it to record trains as I am a railroad photographer and videographer! Trying to get into more videos!
Thanks for the review. Both off the mics sound very good.
I'd use it to start my content creation! Thank you for the opportunity.
I would use to to start a podcast/video channel for sure. Been looking into starting it, but with so many mics, and not being an expert in that area, it's good to get a honest review from someone who uses and does it.
By the way, love you vids! High quality and always the right information at just the right time!
Just when I was considering Rode Mics, perfect timing Russ. This will start my TH-cam channel and record little getaways with my new Sony camera.
I'm new to this all and really could use something like that instead of my Canon 80d's microphone. I have this camera and a few months back got my first drone. It's a Mavic Mini. Your videos have been very helpful. I want to start making videos, however gear is expensive. It took me a long time to save up for the Mavic Mini LOL..
I would use this for SUPER crisp Zoom audio because my teachers need to hear my beautiful voice.
I guess I could also use it for a channel I’ve always wanted.
I would use the Comica mic to make videos for online videos about historical locations in the United States. It would have a multi-purpose function for in-home studio and on location. I have been looking for Mike that would do both.
Congrats Gregg! You won!!! Reply to this or the comment at the top of the list, and I will get your shipping info!
I'm not sure if I could tell much of a difference but I'm always looking for reliable, high quality replacements for my gear, which right now is a $20 shotgun mic. 😀
I would use it for my new drone/photography business! 😄. Merry Christmas to who you and who ever it goes too!
I would certainly use the mic for my channel - I've been trying to upgrade my setup and life keeps getting in the way lol!
With my small channel, I would be able to expand and introduce some commentary as I shoot videos. Thanks for the videos! Cheers from Alaska!
Hi, I have been contemplating on purchasing a new mic for my video setup and also use it sometimes on my phone. As such I have seen various videos on mics. Your review was simple, to the point and convincing.
I would use it on my upcoming TH-cam channel which I’m currently working on. Thanx for all the inspiration you give me!
I would use this mic to record nature sounds to add to my drone footage... Thanks Russ glad I found your channel
Love your channel. I would use the mic for more than I probably know. I do not have any mic on my camera or even at my desk for video conferencing. I will likely get outside more as well.
Thank you. I am shopping for a Mic for filming outdoors and indoors for my Working Draught Horse classes on Zoom and soon to come....You Tube. Thank you for the opportunity.
Helpful review. I the VM 29 does sound pretty good. I would use the mic for interviews and marketing videos of small businesses.
I would use the Comica CVM-VM20 shotgun microphone to capture higher quality audio in my studio recordings for my channel.
That mic sounds really good.
I’m gearing up to start my own channel and this mic would be a great addition to my equipment.
I love the look of this VM-20. Have you tried the live monitoring feature, was it loud enough to hear? Also what is the hiss/sound level like?
I’d use the mic to help my daughter who’s setting up a channel to work towards a couple of Scouts badges. Great video - thank you.
I would use it in place of my rode micro which is my first and only mic.
I was actually just wondering how the comica wireless stood up to the rode wireless.... next video perhaps?
I would absolutely love to win this mic! I'm using a Rode videomic me and as your video clearly points out it isn't the best. I'm just getting started with my channel and sound is so important. Love your drone videos!
Nice very cool....seems like a perfect microphone to leave setup in your studio. Would love to compare one to my deity D3 Pro. Great overview!
My wife and I are starting a TH-cam channel and could use this. Thanks for the information.
Use in our race car to record engine sound, shifting, braking along with action camera.
I enjoyed the info on mics. You mentioned that it is not weatherproof. Please show us a weather proof mic or three.
Hi Russ. I would use this mic for my Drone channel Air Snapshots. Up to this point, it features only flight videos. Hope to add reviews and tips. Thanks.
That mic does sound pretty good and does seem to lower the ambient noise. You did a great job on comparing the mics. :)
I don't have a mic for my A6300 yet, so this would be great to start with!
I would use the mic for better sound recording and commentary when I am out filming with my drone.
I like your rode wireless the best. I find the shotgun mics are more tinny. Just my personal thoughts.
I'm late to the game on this one so no giveaway for me but just researching this microphone to use on a Panasonic Lumix FZ300 / FZ330. This would be the first external mic for me so an upgrade from using the cameras built in mic. I'd like to hear if you did continue to use the Comica mic or have any longer term opinions or even anything newer on the market which may be cometitive before I go ahead and order one.
I would use this to make travel food vlogs
Love your channel Russ. I repost many of your videos on my DJI mini members page FB. I have been recording and editing together some great video and would like to create a beginner channel for drone users. I have an audio background so I appreciate good sound. Would love to get this mic to add to my gear without killing my budget to get this off the ground. Thanks for all you do.
I also have the Rode Video Mic and it seems a bit low end, but works ok. I'd love this as an upgrade for my videography work. It would let me put the Rode on my B-cam to catch more overall sounds, while this would focus on the subject.
