Can you give me a IPHONE 5s please..
Love the Takstar! Agree - unreal price
rode mic
Still rocking a Takstar SGC-598
MOVO VXR10! Highly recommend it! Similar features (if not better) to its competitor Rode VideoMicro... Costs only $40 which is $10 cheaper than the Rode version!!!!
The d3 pro is my mic. Love it! There’s a coolness factor that I like about the build and the sound is smooth, especially when I master it in LumaFusion. I have to say though, I used to boom my little cheap Boya mic that looks like the rode micro and the sound I got out of that little $35 was strikingly similiar. So if you’re pinched for $ go for the Boya. If you have plenty of $ go with the Deity. Do not buy the Takstar, it’s tinny and just horrendous sounding.
Tammy Sypniewski thx
Hi do you know how to connect the d3 pro to my M1 macbook? the jack fits but wont work. Thanks, Ms Tammy!
That Deity sounds virtually identical to that Rode, could be a bargain
I'm currently using a lav mic that looking to upgrade to my first shotgun mic. I think I'll definitely go with the Deity D3. I do How To and DIY videos, so I don't really shoot where there's background noise, so the subtle difference I heard with the D3 Pro isn't worth it for me. I could see how it could if you were a blogger or something.
Noticed a difference as soon as you switched mics to the Rode. Deity sounds way better to me
for me it sounded the same
I've been using the standard microphone that my Nikon D5300 came with, and it is brutal. Especially when I zoom or focus, you can hear every single thing happening on video. WORST. So, now that I've seen this, I've added the Deity D3 to my cart (using your affiliate link), and will be buying it within the next 30 days, so thank you, and you're welcome as well (affiliate link). :)
I liked the mic you were holding for the interview
Great advice as usual for us smaller youtubers!
Great, the D3 Pro version definitely is the business so added to my wish list. For now, I'm using the Takstar SGC-598 which I'm happy with for now~
These things have been on backorder since I saw them on Caleb’s channel.
Amazing! Go Omar! I love seeing all of the coverage of different gear and the test on the channel. Great work!
Ooohh, NICE!! Think media has seriously helped me up my audio game, had some nice growth from some of your suggestions!
The first mic sounded a little hollow, the pro version sounded great, just as good as the more expensive Rode mic. I currently use the Rode Video Mirco.
Michael Cook I agree
I like this. Awesome that it also works as an external mic for a macbook pro. Great price too. I couldn't notice much difference between the sound quality of the Deity D3 Pro mic and the Rode mic.
Definitely in the market for an external mic and we love your channel!
👊💯
I mainly use lavs, either Sony wired, or the new Rode Wireless Go. Needed an on-camera mini-shotgun solution, so just ordered the Deity pro featured here. Deity pro sounded way better than the regular Deity. Deity Pro sounded similar to the Rode, but in this live, background noise, the Deity sounded better. I think Deity is killing Rode on price vs performance. If Rode lowered their price down to Deity's $199, Rode could compete much more. But at current prices, there's no reason anyone should go w/ the Rode, especially considering Deity has more features and even sounds slightly better in noisy environments.
I am using Comica V30 Lite.... I haven't used it it that much but I am satisfied with it as my on camera vlogging mic... I wish that this Brand will reach the Philippine Market soon.... it seems to be a nice mic and comparable with rode mics well atleast on what I heard on this video....
I like the DD Pro and think it’s better to buy as it will be there for future needs (if one budget allows it). The battery on the Pro is definitely the way to go. Carrying around AA and/or AAA batteries in one bag is just a hassle. It’s one thing to have extra camera batteries, but in my bag anymore batteries is just to much. If your going to carry extra weight, get a portable batter pack to recharge the lithium batteries.
Love that there is a decent competitor for the Rode mic.
100%
At $100 cheaper (Rode pro vs. Deity pro) ... the value proposition of of the Deity is very compelling.
Hy! Nice video... Is deity best or better than rode mics???😕
I am a small TH-camr struggling to find footing and to increase my video quality, so thank you so much for always making these awesome videos. Just a quick question: what if you are going to go on vacation, but you don't have time to premake videos before?
Hey, I'm also a starting creator. I will be going on a trip in 3 weeks or so and I am going to shoot video while I'm there. Or just shoot your video in little parts where you have time. Since you are watching this video, I'm guessing you have a few minutes sometime. Use them! Goodluck on your channel bro
I would say to do a short vlog while you're there so people can see why you're gone or just upload short vlogs in place of your regular videos until you get back!
I love my D3, that automatic shut off is such a relief not having to remember to turn it off and not being $300
this is brilliant really helps me think about the audio game. so excited for the new mics coming out! i love the comparisons made so we can see the difference. thank you for all the help in making us better content creators
OMAR!!! Do you guys remember last year at NAB when you just crossed 500k??? You guys are killing it!!!
💛
The rode is def more crisp. But the M3 was pretty good too. Looks like a good choice for beginners. I was going with the rode pro +... but looks like the M3 sounded really good too!
Thanks for this video, I have been searching for a good mic I can buy
Just passed the Rode VideoMic Pro on as part of a camera sale. I have the Deity V-Mic D3 Pro now. I think it’s a more robust a diverse mic.
100% gonna look into this mic. Currently have the Rode VideoMic
I'm using an Azden SMX15 and very happy with it
I hope this is the mic for me. I've been looking for a good mic to boost my video quality. Will this work on an iPhone XS?
Yes it will work, however you will need a headphone adapter. Check out www.deitymic.com/v-mic-d3-pro/ for the d3 pro compatibility
The rode sounds not as open as the deity pro it's a bit middly.
Your channel has helped me with mine so much! I really need a mic for my G7X!
Lyla Faith I think you can’t have extra mic on G7x.
Great mic, for the price, i didn't see much difference with the Rode. I would prefer the D3 instead of the D3 Pro, sound is pretty similar, of course the Pro as more options
but i like the fact that i can use normal battery than i can find everywhere and use it immediately instead of waiting for my D3 Pro to charge. And on a long term...i dont think i can change the
D3 Pro battery that is incorporate to the Mic.... with the standard D3, it is not a problem to have always new battery :-) I would like if Deity can do a D3 Pro with normal battery that i can change also.
Deity seems to be the best value vs build quality and sound. Would have liked to known more about pattern pick up and off axis rejection? Expo floor too limiting. Send us one to review and we will give it a proper workout. Tku for making this video.
I use Blue Yeti USB Microphone for when I am recording in my computer, now I need to buy a mic for my new Canon M50. The ones in this videos are a great option!
I am impressed you are getting more with a cheaper price, definitely worth it.
The rode pro + seemed a little hotter. Got the deity pro, use it on my iPhones and love it.
The Diety Pro is definitely the best bang for the buck. Quality is the same as the Rode, but the construction, makeup and features are the same and some better. Thank you DIETY for stepping up the competition!!! Thank you Think Media!!! you all are AWESOME!!!
Thanks for the feedback and happy to help. For sure... Diety coming into the industry HOT 🔥
Currently the MoVo vxr10, great cost/benefit but this one definitely caught my eye to improve the quality.
Awesome price point for a DIY channel. I can not find them locally though
Great info! Thank you for sharing this. I actually don’t have a microphone yet and I’m using my iPhone to make my videos. I like the price and the quality of the sound of the 199 one.
Easily... have the D3 Pro and I love it!
Thank you for the helpful tutorials & reviews, you guys are amazing.
Until now im still using my built in mic on my SL2. Thank you for this video, i think ill try this microphone. :)
NICE!! Thanks Sean for the review. Having a mic totally ups your game...I learned that from YOU!
👊💯
This mic has been on backorder for a few weeks. Been trying to purchase one.
Damn, sounds the same as the rhode
Great video as always guys, always super information and helps in the production of my TH-cam videos whether at home or on the go. Cheers!
If I was going to buy it I would definitely go with the deity!
I agree this was good information for newbies
We’ve been super interested in these microphones. Gotta keep upping your game! Anyone like these more than rode for travel?
Sounds like a decent mic,now if we could get them to make the motovlogger mic,for us youtubers on Motorcycles,i would buy one
I'm impressed with the Deity pro.
Sound like something I'd buy. I bought rode go and when I tell waste of money because I'm getting a frying sound and I've never used it after that. So I'm glad I have another option that's affordable. Yup on my list. Is it on Amazon tho?
All 3 mics sound very similar. Good advice to save money and have good audio.
Sounds good in comparison with rode mic. Great content Thanks!!!!! I usually use lav mic and Samson mic r21 for my videos.
Hey Omar, do you think this is a good mic for the Sony ZV-E10?
It wasn't on your top accessories review for the ZV-E10.
That was a fantastic bumper.
So in the end is it better to buy deity d3 pro over the rode video mic pro plus?
Nice work!
Is the D3 Pro can use as external mic into a laptop using a headphone splitter and plug-in into headphone-mic input of a laptop and still use headphones as well? Thanks
Please tell me how to use the d3 pro with my M1 macbook. I can’t find info anywhere & Diety won’t help me without a receipt, which lost 2 yrs ago. Thanks in advance!
Awesome! Have the Rode, but always excited to try new equipment! 💫
This looks awesome man, love the specs and review.
Thanks for all the great info!!! I notice a slight difference but definitely a great buy!!!!
I'm gonna buy the D3 Pro.
Rode mics are a classic
True! There has been a lot of RODE vs. Deity talk lately... both are great brands 💯
QOTD: I'm using a audio technica AT9947CM and it works well
How does V- MIc D3 Pro compare to the TZ Stellar X2 for voiceover work and some vocals?
If you use the Deity d3 pro as a on camera mic, does it pick up the lenses autofocus noise ?? This is the current problem I’m facing using my Sigma 17-50mm lens with my current on camera shotgun mic!! Any solutions to fix this problem if I’m wanting to still use the autofocus and keep a on camera shotgun mic ?
Audio is so important!!!
agree 💯
deity pro sounds amaizing
Hi! So this video has been out for over a year now. Is the D3 Pro still the way to go or is there something better out there now in Aug 2020?
Hey, love your videos. Very helpful and informative.
I have a Question.. the 99$ is it good for songs&piano covers?! If so, Do i need additional gadgets beside the mic?
We are a Small TH-cam Channel and want to invest in an microphone, cause WE need too..its growing but we have to Upgrade Soon.
Thank you advance!
I really like this video thanks :-) and I've also pissed myself laughing @ 4.30... your reaction is gold
So why not use it in this interview!?!?
I bought the pro but the normal one sounds exactly the same on my phone. Sadly the device I listen to videos on
Wondering how it would do outside in windy conditions
Really nice video. Thank you!
Amazing video as always keep up the great work :)
If I were to get the Deity Pro model what DB setting would you recommend to get rid of the hissing noise with a standard canon DSLR preamp?
Thanks for review. Sounds good. More Expensive mic almost the same
Happy to help Rick - keep crushing it!
This is what i was looking for my youtube Channel!!!!
Class of 2019 👨🎓🎓
I don't notice a double price over 99 model...
I think it's the same mic actually... the PRO just features PRO features 😎
Worth it if you need those features... but that is what makes the $99 version so compelling because it produces amazing results for a great price.
@@ThinkMediaTV can it reduce wind noise?
Good information I enjoyed this very much, I noticed a small difference, but I am going to purchase the first one, in my shoot there is no background noise. 👍480
Thank you for this amazing comparison video. Looking forward to testing the Deity in Singapore. Question: Do you recommend a beginner content creator to jump into getting a shotgun or a lapel mic? thanks!
Cathay Photo carries Deity Microphones in Singapore, if you're looking for it. Cheers Jimmy
@@jlimproductions9411 Oh thank you! How much is it ?
The pro sounds better and worth it to me.
99$ sounds cheap. 200$ is the one to get
what audio level do you recommend for the a7III and the D3? I have the internal level set around 6 or so...wdyt?
Got a Diety D3 pro and their Vlav mic
Good price
agree 💯
I can hear hissing on my non pro version when I plug it into my camera or my pc. Is that normal?
I would 100% say that the video mic pro plus is no way in any world $100 better then the d3 pro
I could not get this to work with my new camera. :(
Where can I find a mobile microphone that I can use when Im shooting with my phone?
Started a new vlog and wanna improve my audio.
What's up man how are you doing???
It does sound double the price, damn thats sexy.
Any chance the Pro will show up in the scene when using Short or Wide Angle Lenses since it sticks out So Much?
Paparazzi Entertainment no ... but maybe with a fisheye lens
@@ThinkMediaTV LOL OK
They all sounded close enough to me that as a very broke new youtuber, my first mic purchase will definitely be that $99 Diety!
