Came looking to see which mic to buy... I've decided on an LED VU meter haha. Nice work though. Going with the AT, I don't mind the phantom power as I am using it indoors mostly... I think. Gametime decision. I will probably order both and send one back.
I appreciate this video for the comparison of the two types of microphones. I don't have the Comica, but I do have several Audio Technica shotgun mics, including the AT-875R. I think that people too often try to use these mics for purposes other than what they were intended for and are disappointed when the results are less than they expected. I like to see comparisons of how different mics work in one situation. At least this gives me some idea what to expect in that situation.
Thanks for the comment. I have several Audio Technicas and they are always solid performers. The last time i was disappointed by an AT was with a $45 on-camera condenser ( I believe it was the 6550 if memory serves ). You put it well...often people are looking for a mic to do that which it was not intended for, like I was trying to do ... In this test, I planned to go deeper, doing outdoor wind noise and the like, but a snow storm was going on at the time of recording, and I am certain those tests would reveal some other strength/weaknesses of each mic. The playing field may have been leveled by engaging the low cut filter on the Comica and using wind screens/dead cats on both? The AT875R is my go-to mic, but I have to concede that, for the purpose of on-camera vlogging, the Comica gives an impressive show in a cheaper, minimalistic kit...but that does not mean that, my AT is going anywhere...
@@affordabletechsolutions6917 I have to admit that I am generally less than impressed by the on camera microphones. If I am shooting with a dslr, I prefer to position my mic closer to the subject, but out of view.
Audio Technica AT875R for my ear sound best in this video. I appreciate you taking the extra step in conditioning our ears in the beginning.

@@wgiles51 No arguments here...definitely a better way to go. Still for the vlogger looking for simplicity...
