I want to talk about your presentation, I am a teacher for 54 years, 75 years old! Teach industrial design and Jewelry design, In Thailand. Your voice, grammar. accent and presentation are beautiful, all your points well made. I enjoyed just listening to you, added to your well done test. You have great presence on camera. I am now a Subscriber, well done Brian
Thank you so much for your kind words! My mother was a teacher and I too was a teacher for 6 months and thoroughly enjoyed it. What we do on this channel is easy if you put passion into it...that’s what I always try and do.

Hey, Brian! I came to tell you thanks for all your tips and suggestions about the use of DJI Osmo and accessories etc. It's a very important content to our community of owners of Osmo. All your videos are very helpful and well done. I like the way you tell us how to use these things. So, thank you! I am very interested in this Comica VM10 mic, but unfortunately it is not available here. A hug from Brasil!
Hi Brian, thank you again for a wonderful video - I 'm new to your channel & the Osmo - have seen all your videos with you and your young assistant - I 'm still waiting for my Osmo + - hopefully delivery tomorrow. Important: Keep your independence and more followers will subscribe your channel. One final comment to your language - I 'm German and I 'm more than happy to hear your voice in a clear and understandable way - much better than many native English speakers with a special local accent!
Thank you so much Helmut! This channel welcomes you wholeheartedly! we will continue to provide you all the information you need to enjoy your osmo and if you're happy..we are happy!
At Amazon USA, the kit you reviewed is only $1 more than the Rode, $60 vs $59. No reviews for it at Amazon, so I wouldn't have considered it without your video. Seems like a good deal.
I was looking at the Rhodes & Gigibon version and they all look the same. It's like one of those products that one company builds a product then 10 companies put their name on it . I have a DJI Osmo that I use a DJI M-15 FlexiMic on it but since I got the Z-Axis arm installed the DJI M-15 FlexiMic is now useless because it gets into the Z-Axis arm's way. So, after further review of this Comica, I went ahead and purchased it. I do have also the Sony ECM XYST1M Microphone which I use on my Osmo but because the foot of the microphone is all expose electronic metal, I have to put a masking tape on it to prevent it from shorting out the audio when I mount it on the Osmo bracket mount.
Hi Brian, really enjoy your videos and it was because of them that I was convinced enough to buy the Osmo. I find them really informative, but not overly complicated. Like many people, I decided to look for an external microphone and for a long while was favouring those produced by Rode. Fortunately, I came across this video and made the decision to go with the Comica . I ordered it from Amazon and it arrived today. It's definitely as good as you described it, although, as of writing, I haven't actually plugged it in and tested the audio yet. The case that it comes in is a nice addition, but I was disappointed to discover that mine didn't come with the universal mount, which would definitely have been worth having.
Pleeze be keepin dem dere videoz comin, i eezily knowed whut da point wuz. BTW, we miss your adorable daughter, hope she is doing well. Keep up the good work! Mac.
Another nice video. As others mentioned please keep Osmo mobile in mind. It would be great if you were to get the new mobile top for your existing handle that was announced at CES. These products are great, but I'm envisioning where things could be in a few years. Your video reaffirmed that the built in osmo audio is useless. Since a mic is necessary, perhaps Dji will add a dedicated spot to mount a mic in the future. Also, if the attachment arms had USB embedded, your setup could allow for a swivel motor on the mic mount, so the mic could be set to face the same direction as the camera. If used with iPhone 7 and osmo mobile, do you know of a lightning cable direct to this mic, to avoid apple's headphone adapter and the provided cable being used together?
Thanks! I actually have the new M1 on order and will definitely include the Mobile Osmo in review going forward. I'm not aware of a lightning cable to TRS cable for audio and when I tested this mic on an iPhone 7plus, I had to use the lightning to headphone jack dongle.
You should be able to plug the mic with a dongle to iPhone 7/Plus. But the problem is you'll hardly get the phone balanced in position of the Osmo Mobile. You need to have space in between lighting connector of the phone and Osmo Mobile to be able to plug the dongle. My second idea was to use a bluetooth mic but doesn't work during video recording. Now I'm using a separate recorder TASCAM DR-05 what of cause means extra weight...
Awesome video and thank you because you convinced me to get that mic over the Rode mic. Quick question what do you recommend for a wireless mic to do interviews with people? (Like the one you wore in the video)
Thanks and that's glad to hear we've helped you decide. It's not a bad Mic at all. My recommendation for a wireless Mic. would have to be the Sennheiser EW 112-P G3 GB Wireless Lavalier Microphone System. It's really good but not that cheap.
Looks like an interesting microphone for the Osmo, especially like that they give you the additional smartphone audio cable and a case. Personally I have the Rode Videomicro but this seems comparable and comes with more extras.. I don't see the universal mount listed on amazon as coming with this mic btw.
yep, the smartphone cable and the other goodies makes this a good package. I was also quite surprised to see the universal mount as it does not appear anywhere in the description or photos, but if indeed it is included, fair game to Comica.
That's a bit aggressive, I love your content, why so angry at me... I don't perceive it as nitpicking, my language is important to me. There's is only one English language, and only one elemental table. If others are wrong, it doesn't follow that we must do the same. I will still continue to subscribe, as everything else is good. I know by experience that it's not easy to produce videos, and wish you all the best.
martin brimble I'm not angry at you at all. From the onset, all you seem to be keen on is correcting the way I choose to say certain things You completely miss the whole ethos of this channel. My passion is to share information, freely and in my own style , fashion and time so of course I have to defend myself when you nit pick over trivial issues. This channel is not about who speaks or writes the best English. If English was not your first language you would probably make similar mistakes so stop being so fussy about semantics and focus on the bigger picture.
Thanks for the video! But i have a problem: When I shoot with the rode mic with this exact setup, then the mic makes a noise as soon as i walk because it bounces up and down a bit. Any hints on how to fix this?
Hey! I am looking to use OSMO mobile, Iphone SE and switcher suite. With Switcher Suite I need to hold osmo in the vertical orientation, is there any reason that this mic would not work vertical?
Hi Brian - just wondering, are you using a iPhone 7+ with your Osmo - do you have any weight issues with strain on the gimbal if that is the case - many thanks again
+Darron Saunders Thanks Darron. Occasionally, with the gimbal turned off and the handle slightly off the vertical, the Iphone 7+ appears slightly unbalanced but the moment you switch the gimbal on, the motors are quite powerful to easily counter any slightly unbalanced weight distribution. If it's heavily unbalanced, then the motors will do a lot more and battery won't last as long .
+Kristina Hernandez there are so many options to be honest. Good affordable brands include Apurture and Saramonic but you'd need to google for specifics.
Good video; shame no direct comparison with rode micro... "The microphone it is replicating." Also you spelt the word colour incorrectly, please see video at 9:45. Small point but rather important, not to mislead your younger audience.
Also at 11:40 you pronounced aluminium incorrectly, forgot the second i I really do like your videos, but the grammatical errors are basic..... sorry to be so harsh, but it's important.
oK if you really want to be nit picky then I'll be the same. Color and Aluminum are perfectly acceptable in the USA and Canada, so for that audience, which represents 70% of our viewership, there is no issue here. Any more grammar errors? this is not an English grammar channel - there are plenty like that out there.
really dude? really? clearly English is not Brians first language. how many languages do you speak? as long as he gets his point across, which is the point of his channel to give tips on the Osmo, why does it matter if his English is not perfect?
This could have been caused by any number of things, so without details, I couldn't possibly begin to troubleshoot. what mic, what cable (eg TRS to TRRS) , how connected ? etc
Osmo Tips thanks man!! Appreciate it! Minor tip, mention if certain accessories are compatible/practical or not for the Mobile version. I enjoy your videos, keep it up!!
Dudley Warner sadly no, not from the research I’ve done into it, myself being interested in the mobile 2. We could get an L bracket to mount both the Osmo and microphone of choice to, but still somehow need to connect it to out phone. Sadly the ismo covers up the charging port, the only port we have.

Good point, I just saw that now. The Mic did a good job to be fair and so easy to use.
Thanks so much for this review. I'm buying Comica. The value included makes it a smart purchase!
You won't be disappointed!

This is why we do what we do. you're very welcome!
hey Brian, well done AGAIN. Thanks heaps.
no worries!
The comics mic definitely sounds a lot more crisp. The other one sounded too muffled for my taste.
Pleeze be keepin dem dere videoz comin, i eezily knowed whut da point wuz.
BTW, we miss your adorable daughter, hope she is doing well. Keep up the good work! Mac.
lol!
She'll be back soon. she's got her hands full with school projects , sport, dancing lessons, gymnastics, baking and more!
great review. extremely helpful the breakdown of the price comica v. rode.
welcome!
tahnk you for the video. Good one
no problem!
I came to tell you thanks for all your tips!
Good video, thanks!
Greetings from Germany.
very informative and useful. my go to guy for Osmo reviews.
good review, make me consider Comica. Do you have any suggestions for OSMO Mobile?
The same Mic will work well for the Osmo Mobile as it already has the required cable for smartphone audio (TRS to TRRS)
Thank u so much !! U helped me alot! Great video 👍🏼
awesome!
Sounds good to me, great info. Thanks
me too!
I really appreciate and enjoy your reviews on the Dji Osmo! Have you any videos on the Osmo Mobile?
welcome! just got our first osmo mobile the zenmuse M1 : th-cam.com/video/-8GrTkz8z5E/w-d-xo.html
Great review thanks for sharing.
welcome!

That is what I also wanted to know. Will the dongle be suitable for use on the iPhone 7 & 7 Plus with this mic?
You should be able to plug the mic with a dongle to iPhone 7/Plus. But the problem is you'll hardly get the phone balanced in position of the Osmo Mobile. You need to have space in between lighting connector of the phone and Osmo Mobile to be able to plug the dongle. My second idea was to use a bluetooth mic but doesn't work during video recording.

great vid!
To my ears, the VM10 beat the Rode. I have the Rode, which is a great mic, but it lost in this particular test.
Brilliant video, wow the built in mic of the Osmo is shockingly bad. Well done.
Super 👍
great review as always, thank you.
i have a Rode VideoMic Go and it makes a hissing type noise. any help or tips?
Looks like an interesting microphone for the Osmo, especially like that they give you the additional smartphone audio cable and a case. Personally I have the Rode Videomicro but this seems comparable and comes with more extras..
I don't see the universal mount listed on amazon as coming with this mic btw.
yep, the smartphone cable and the other goodies makes this a good package. I was also quite surprised to see the universal mount as it does not appear anywhere in the description or photos, but if indeed it is included, fair game to Comica.
Supplier has just confirmed - the universal mount will be included in the package!
That really makes this a really good choice for anyone with an Osmo that doesn't have the mount and is looking for a microphone
haven't used the Mic Go - sorry. Anyone in the community with Mic Go experience?
That's a bit aggressive, I love your content, why so angry at me...
I don't perceive it as nitpicking, my language is important to me.
There's is only one English language, and only one elemental table.
If others are wrong, it doesn't follow that we must do the same.
I will still continue to subscribe, as everything else is good.
I know by experience that it's not easy to produce videos, and wish you all the best.

Rode WINS! ALWAYS!!
yes but if one's budget is small, these alternatives can be a good, not better option!
Thanks for the video! But i have a problem: When I shoot with the rode mic with this exact setup, then the mic makes a noise as soon as i walk because it bounces up and down a bit. Any hints on how to fix this?
They made it cheaper and the shockmount is now only a single arm
Hey! I am looking to use OSMO mobile, Iphone SE and switcher suite. With Switcher Suite I need to hold osmo in the vertical orientation, is there any reason that this mic would not work vertical?
hi. where do I buy the straight arm and phone holder? also what kind of Osmo is this? I'm new to this and I want to but this set up.
If you don't have the mount, do you save money rather than buying the rode + mount?
Yes I believe it works out a cheaper deal due to these extras
Hi Brian - just wondering, are you using a iPhone 7+ with your Osmo - do you have any weight issues with strain on the gimbal if that is the case - many thanks again
+Darron Saunders Thanks Darron. Occasionally, with the gimbal turned off and the handle slightly off the vertical, the Iphone 7+ appears slightly unbalanced but the moment you switch the gimbal on, the motors are quite powerful to easily counter any slightly unbalanced weight distribution. If it's heavily unbalanced, then the motors will do a lot more and battery won't last as long .
Hi Brian, thanks for getting back to me:) Will investigate a bit further and check out the rest of your videos
Hi I would like a wireless mic for the osmo dji what do you recommend that is affordable?
+Kristina Hernandez there are so many options to be honest. Good affordable brands include Apurture and Saramonic but you'd need to google for specifics.
I see Osmo Mobile in the picture but you are not using that.
It does work - I just didn't have the osmo mobile at that stage
Will it capture osmo mobile motor noise?
Good video; shame no direct comparison with rode micro... "The microphone it is replicating."
Also you spelt the word colour incorrectly, please see video at 9:45. Small point but rather important, not to mislead your younger audience.
noted. English is my third language.
Also at 11:40 you pronounced aluminium incorrectly, forgot the second i

some entertain their 5 subscribers with perfect english, others simply do a great job!
really dude? really? clearly English is not Brians first language. how many languages do you speak? as long as he gets his point across, which is the point of his channel to give tips on the Osmo, why does it matter if his English is not perfect?
Hi, but I couldn't use it at facebook live?!?!?!? Only the internal mic is working!!!!
This could have been caused by any number of things, so without details, I couldn't possibly begin to troubleshoot. what mic, what cable (eg TRS to TRRS) , how connected ? etc
i plugged the NTG2 with 3,5 jack
can this mic can work also on the dji osmo mobile
The same Mic will work well for the Osmo Mobile as it already has the required cable for smartphone audio (TRS to TRRS)
Is this compatible with the OSMO Mobile? Well for audio jacks on cellphones?
Yes absolutely. It uses the "smartphone" cable and the audio is amazing. I just didn't include this part of the test
Osmo Tips thanks man!! Appreciate it! Minor tip, mention if certain accessories are compatible/practical or not for the Mobile version. I enjoy your videos, keep it up!!
Good tip. I actually have the new M1 on order will definitely include the Mobile going forward. thanks for the support!
Yes, I am also interested in knowing if things you review might or might not fit the OSMO Mobile.
Is there any microphone that can connect to an iPhone 8 via Bluetooth on an Osmo Mobile 2?
Dudley Warner sadly no, not from the research I’ve done into it, myself being interested in the mobile 2. We could get an L bracket to mount both the Osmo and microphone of choice to, but still somehow need to connect it to out phone.
Sadly the ismo covers up the charging port, the only port we have.
Thumbs down for Rode. the rest perfect, as usual
Thanks Armin!
Click bait,I thought I could use it for the mobile which the thumbnail shows instead of a normal osmo
...and who said you can't use it for mobile? you can use it for mobile, that's why you get included a TRS to TRRS cable which is for mobile.
Osmo Tips yea,use it on the mobile and end up with a cable that has a turtleneck at the connector at the end of a video shoot
I was looking at the Rhodes & Gigibon version and they all look the same. It's like one of those products that one company builds a product then 10 companies put their name on it .
