What microphone do you use???

I have just purchased this microphone for my Nikon Coolpix P1000, and the mic is brilliant more than I hoped for. It was your video that gave me the extra nudge to purchase it. You have a new subscriber now. Thank you!

Gonna order this!!! Thanks for the recommendation!

Awesome and very helpful review! Thanks, Sam.

Great approach to the subject, Sam. Very informative too.

I was just about to order the Rode VideoMic NTG to pair with my wireless go ii, then come across this mic.. watched a few videos, and YOURS sold me on the Comica.. ya saved me over a huNdO! Thanks!

Loved this video!! Great song choice too! Perfect second studio mic, this is the mic I've been looking for lol

Great video! As someone who comes from the audio world, I always appreciate a good mic review. I'm using the Rode Video Mic NTG right now and the Comica looks like it's got the same form factor as that mic. I'd be interested in comparing those two as far as sound quality and features.

For studio work, I use the Audio-Technica AT2035, including live-streaming. For vlogging, I use the MOVO VXR10. I have been looking at this mic and I appreciate your expert review. Based on your review, I think I will be investing in this in the near future.

Awesome and Detailed review keep it up bro you are shining 👍👍

Fantastic review! The sound of the Comica is actually really good, has a lot of "detail". My audio setup: Rode NT-USB for voice-overs and rode video micro for everything else!

Great audio review!!! Keep it up!!!

Comica makes some surprisingly good microphones for the price! This one was certainly no exception! Great review!

My favorite mic. Never record without it. I’ve recorded all day with the mic and barely put a dent in the battery. Charging, while in use, does not work for me. It produces static. The wind muff works great with the foam. Great review!

Your preset/mix COMPLETE:LY makes both shine

I recently started externally recording my audio in my studio, but when i travel or vlog i use the Rode VideoMic Pro +. This Comica looks pretty good thought. Wind noise is the worse....but thanks for the "Lower the Volume" notice haha

Hi Sam, that furry mouse thing you referred to is commonly known as 'Windshields', and when used it should be possible to leave your mic settings flat, keep these great videos coming I really enjoy them. I should have told you what I use or about to as I am about to start my reviews (not what I normally do), the most recent I have tried is the AKG C214 and also the sE2200 mk2, I was impressed with the quality of the VM20 but all my gear is based around XLR, maybe I should scale some parts down to be more mobile-like yourself, thank you for the enjoyable and informative videos.

Cracking little review Mr Holland - roadkill and hump LMAO - I use my RØDE VideoMic Pro+ or RØDE Wireless Go most of the time have a couple of Comica Wireless Mics and was thinking of getting something for in the Studio so might go for this and thnaks for the idea for the mic arm - cheers Buddy !

I use the Røde VideoMicro and the Røde Video NTG, which is more like the Comica CVM VM20, but has all the stuff you miss on the Comica. Great mic but of course also a little more expensive. I am thinking about buying the Wireless Go and I am also a litttle in love with the Shure SM 7 B. You can never get enough gear😄👍 But I would like to hear the Comica CVM VM20 head to head with the Røde Video NTG👍

Currently using the RODE VideoMic Go II (You should test that out, It's very good) , but I really need a good and decent shotgun microphone rather than a compact one for some more serious shoots! This microphone looks pretty cool so I bought it! Thanks for the detailed and awesome review! Really enjoyed it!

My first visit to your channel. Well done! More samples would have been even better.

I use the F1 with the SH-6 Capsule and I picked up the Fulaim Wireless system and I have to say it pretty good. I use it with lav and also with the Zoom to just record straight to my phone.

The roadkill had me cracking up so badly!!! 🤣

Great video Sam! Will you be creating LUTs and Audio Presets for Lumatouch?

damn good for $100 wow. . .makes me feel like the 416 is overpriced. . .the accent goes a long way as well. Keep posting! Great job

Great mic

Really great review! - Are you still using this as your primary microphone in the studio?

Just bought your audio preset pack for premiere pro, and now I'm Getting the Comica CVM VM20 Microphone. Been Using the Rode Videomic go Original and it is a nightmare...Always hear a buzzing and clicking sound. Thank you for your Video Review really helpful.

Very cool 😊👏🏻😊👏🏻

Hi Sam... Do your presets also work for DaVinci resolve?

Thanks Is this microphone suitable for video recording on trips, family events, street, etc...?

I think the lowcut etc is hertz and not db if I’m not wrong

A recording from several feet away would have been handy, as that is what these mics are often used for specifically.

I have this microphone its definitely solid.

Great. Is there anyway to use this mic as a usb mic connected to a laptop? Thanks

Hi there Sam, Thanks for all your great videos, tutorials and reviews. I'm juuuuust starting to get into video a tiny bit - lots to learn - and got this Comica mic after seeing this video and thought it would do good for a start. However, I've had this strange experience when I tested it the other day. When viewing the footage after, the sound only came through on the left headset ear-piece (hope this makes sense). I've tried 3 difference headphone wired and wireless, and also, I did a video recording test with some Boya lavalier mics i've got and the sound carried through fine. I'm using a canon R6 by the way. - I am probably just a total newbie here :D Has it got something to do with mono vs. stereo recording or something in the connecting of the cables - And last resource before you - the great oracle 😂👍🏻 - was asking Google without any luck - what have I missed all together? Again thanks and have a great evening - all the best

I decided to make this my first mic but I don't know if it will work on a laptop so I'm hesitant to buy it

What do you think about VM10 PRO? better than VM 20?

I watched this video 10x before buying the actual mic.. by the way can I try BOYA MICROPHONE like VM600 ..ETC

I just bought this and I might not be doing something correctly. I take videos of trains and I stand about 20 to 500 feet away from the trains as they go by. I could barely hear anything. Can you suggest a microphone for a Sony ax43 video camera that would cut out vehicle traffic behind me, but still pick up the trains? Thanks

Hi Sam. I am getting serious interference with this mic paired to my Zoom H5 in wireless mode. Bringing the receiver and the Zoom close together creates a lot of hum. Any thoughts? Thanks.

What extension cable are you using?

So this mic doesn't provide output channel for headphones or speakers?

What are your suggestions for mic positions with this type of mic? is it important to bom from overhead, or in front, or will booming from below ur frame, work as well? For some acting auditions over Zoom I may want to move a bit, closer and further from the lens. So I'm considering which angle will be the best compromise for picking up my speaking from varying distances from camera. Maybe under would be less likely to be blocked from my voice than it would overhead if I lean forward? Also reverb from floor vs ceiling may be a factor... I think you've sold me on this one for my first quality mic for home studio streaming and interviews -- aside from my Zoom H1n recorder, and a $15 MOVO lav that my dad got for free from his job when they began doing work from home.

I can connect it directly to the pc????

I have seen 4 reviews of this microphone and I am very concerned about the sound of the ground, skateboard or footsteps. Isn't that cardioid? Or super cardioid?

Great video bro! What gain level do you generally use for your videos with this microphone?

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 mic .... 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 only 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 DEITY D4 had the same SPL as my ME66 and so I purchased that. Problem solved. My Comica VM20 is now on eBay.

Soooo I ordered one & it doesn’t connect to my black magic pcc6k can someone help🥺

What light are you using for this video? I see so many people bashing the Godox SL60W's fan noise. I'm looking for my first studio light and I plan to boom the Rode VideoMicro or VideoMic NTG. Do you recommend the SL60W in that case?

Hey man I got asked to do a review on this microphone to on my channel and my experience is music also so I have a music background to with recording and mixing music so where in the same boat

Good for bird recordings?

Is it good for basic interviews that’s why I got it just until I can get a boom set up

The windshield - Rode Killl. No pun intended...much.

Do you think this Microphone will be good for recording dialogue for narrative work

What preset did you use so I can purchase it or will your free podcast one work

Hi! I want to use this mic on: - Cinematic shots (for example: Cool Car Footage with exhaust noice) - Environment shots (for example: plant hisses, rain sound, sea wave sounds...) - Sometimes vlogging (and it's pretty alright actually) Can you recommend this mic or can you recommend other things?

are you recording your audio straight into the camera or into a dedicated audio recording device?

I have a Deity. I also have Comica BoomXD wireless mics on the camera so I can switch easily. The Deity mic won't record directly to my Ninja5 as others do. Do you know if this one does? I use the Canon C70.

I went to purchase your Audio Preset, but luckily noticed that I don’t use the same video editor. Are you on IG?! I can’t find anyone that has a good EQ & Compression for this mic..

Dead-cats are often fitted over the foam, so I don't understand your reaction. Though the quality of the dead-cat seems crappy

Like the new Thumbnail design you have been using!

Nice video, but should be 75Hz or 150Hz low cut filter, not dB.

your diction is very good! I have difficulty understanding English especially from Americans, that speak "dragged"

Still using this or did you switch to the videomic ntg?

Music Production?! I did not know that I am getting into filmmaking, photography and music production.

Hi Sam, I’ve been using the Comica mic the past couple weeks and it doesn’t sound as good as your review. I’m recording on the Sony ZVE10 and it sounds like shit no matter how I edit the audio. How do you make it sound so crisp? I am considering returning it. How do you edit the audio? I am using Adobe premiere. I am looking for a high quality mic to capture cooking noises and so far I’ve been really disappointed. Can you shine some light on how I can make it sound more crisp? Thanks so much!

can this be used as a boom mic?

I guess I have had Comica in the past, never played with the shotgun mic I got, it was more a vlogger mic, not this. I don't even think there was any additional power going to it. It again competed with the RODE phone vlogging mic, which I also purchased and never used. THOUGH, I did purchase their wireless mic system both the U and D2. Personally, I like the D2 better even though they are priced the same and sound identical. I like the size of the D2 better, and it feels better built than the U2. The u2 is probably the better one since it has more fine controls where the D2 just has gain control and that's basically it. For audio recording; I go all over the map with that. I have the Zoom F2 (I THINK THAT'S WHAT IT"S CALLED?), the rodecaster go competitor; Zoom H6, Zoom F6, and the personal favorite Sony PCM-a10 again, for the size and stereo mic in. Lav mic I've used the Sony ECM-CS3 (how could I forget, these names just roll off the tongue) as my favorite. I don't recommend the Zoom F2 recorder, screwed up for me when I was helping a friend shoot his commercial and without a display, it was hard to figure out intuitively how to record with it, and the app apparently didn't do its job. Also, not a fan of the Podtracker 8, have a Rodecaster Pro and just picked up the Behringer xr18, since why not. For studio mics got the Shures, and just ordered two Electro-Voice re20s to see what I like. THEN trying to find a good boom arm without much luck. SINCE my podcast desk is a ULINE all metal desk SO none of the clamps work with it, had to rig some nonsense to make it work, ordered some toys that should help find an alternative solution, possibly use the fact that I'm using a metal desk to my advantage and use one of my 5,000 magnets I have around this house (not even an exaggeration) to magnet-mount it. Who knows.

Keep saying DB and it's HZ (Hertz) 75 Hertz and 150 Hertz, not DB

I guess the sound quality for the price makes up for the flattened dead mouse pouch. 🐀
