MovoVXR10 Universal Shotgun Mic for Camera - Camera Microphone for DSLR, iPhone and Android Smartphones - Compatible with Canon EOS, Nikon, and Sony Cameras - with Shock Mount, Deadcat Windscreen

Buen producto era mejor de lo que me esperaba y el precio bueno

Ok just wouldn't fit my camera

The sound quality from this is excellent! My only issue is one of the little red stands/holders broke in a few places while I was trying to figure out how it worked and had to be glued back together. Still, it's a pretty great mic for the price point (The only one I found with better ratings was $200+)

I was worried that this price point would leave me disappointed, but I was wrong. This is an excellent mic at an affordable price.

Infinitely better than the camera audio. Focused more on what its pointed at which is what I wanted.

As a budding content creator, I was thrilled to get my hands on the Movo VXR10 Universal Shotgun Mic. I had high hopes that this microphone would elevate the audio quality of my videos shot on my Canon EOS Rebel SL3. After using it extensively for both indoor and outdoor shoots, I wanted to share my experience, particularly with the static issues I encountered.Setup and First Impressions:Unboxing the Movo VXR10 was exciting. The packaging was sleek and professional, and the mic comes with a decent array of accessories: a shock mount, a deadcat windscreen, and a carrying case. The mic itself has a solid build, feeling robust yet lightweight. It feels great to hold, and I appreciated how easy it was to attach to my camera.Setting up the mic was straightforward. It connects via a 3.5mm TRS cable, which was compatible with my Rebel SL3 right out of the box. The inclusion of the TRRS adapter for smartphones is a nice touch, making this a versatile choice for those who might want to use it with their iPhone or Android devices in the future.Initial Use and Audio Quality:The first few recordings went relatively well. I noticed a significant improvement in audio quality compared to the built-in microphone on my DSLR. The directional pickup pattern did help isolate sound nicely, and the deadcat windscreen proved effective against light wind noise when filming outdoors.However, this is where things began to take a turn. During post-production, I was shocked to discover that my recordings were plagued with a crazy amount of static. It was frustrating, to say the least. The static was loud enough to overshadow dialogue and any ambient sounds I was trying to capture.*Troubleshooting:At first, I thought it might have been a compatibility issue with my camera. I did some research online and discovered that many user reviews had reported similar issues with static on various camera models, including the Canon EOS range. I tried a few different troubleshooting steps:Check Connections: I ensured that the microphone was properly connected to the mic input on my camera. Sometimes, a loose connection can lead to interference.Battery Power: The VXR10 is powered by the camera, so there shouldn’t be any battery issues. However, I did check my camera’s battery level just to be safe.Wiring Issues: I carefully examined the cable for any signs of wear or damage. In fact, I even tried a different TRS cable to rule out a faulty cable causing the static.Different Settings: I fiddled with different audio settings on my camera to see if adjustments would help alleviate the static issue. Unfortunately, nothing seemed to make a significant difference.The Final Verdict:Despite my initial excitement, the Movo VXR10 left me quite disappointed. While it was effortless to set up and showed promise with improved audio directionality, the consistent static issue when connected to my Canon EOS Rebel SL3 was a dealbreaker.It’s worth noting that static and interference can sometimes be specific to particular camera models or even particular units of the mic itself. Other users with different camera setups may have had a better experience, but my journey with this product was far from perfect.If you’re considering the Movo VXR10, I would recommend doing a bit of research to ensure compatibility with your specific camera. Ideally, testing it out before committing would be the best route to avoid potential frustrations. In the end, I’m left searching for a more reliable external microphone that can meet my content creation needs without the static headache.Pros:Lightweight and portable designIncludes useful accessoriesGood sound directionalityCons:Static interference on my Canon EOS Rebel SL3Mixed compatibility experiences reported by other usersOverall, I can't fully endorse this microphone, but I believe it may work better for others with different setups. Proceed with caution!

The media could not be loaded. I purchased the Movo VXR10, LPM100, & VXR50 (Smartphone Video Rig Kit V7) to compare.The VXR10 was a slight improvement over the iPhoneXS internal microphone but for me, that small improvement is not worth the price and hassle of using the VXR10 while mobile. For recordings using a tripod, the sounds was an improvement since the iPhone's mic is pointed perpendicular to the subject while the VXR10 (like most external mics) is pointed directly to the subject. This was the only mono (non stereo) mic in my comparison although many professionals believe stereo sound is not required for vlogging or youtube. The mic was packaged well and looks durable. I would easily pick this mic over the LPM100. If cost was a large factor, I would also pick this over the VXR50.The LPM100 was my least favorite. The audio sounded artificial, like listening to speakers that are out of phase—if you close your eyes and listen, none of the sounds can be located—it’s all mish-mashed and ends up sounding like a blob. This flaw was enough for me to reject the LPM100. The second flaw was the lighting plug: while it did seat in my iPhoneXS with a medium thickness case, it did not feel secure, and if I was moving about, I would constantly worry that it would fall off, or if accidentally knocked around that it might break off. I don't think this is Movo's fault, just inherent in this kind of connection. I doubt modestly larger phone cases would allow the lighting plug to seat properly.The VXR50 (Smartphone Video Rig Kit V7) sounded the best although I would not say it's a slam dunk over the other two or even the iPhoneXS built-in mic… but it was better especially since the mic can be pointed to the subject unlike the iPhone's internal mic. The VXR50 appears well made and solid; it's also the longest of all three but is also the only that requires a battery which will undoubtedly go dead when it's most needed. I did not find this mic as a standalone product but only as part of the V7 kit. The bluetooth remote control included with the kit felt solid and worked very well with the iPhoneXS but needs to be manually paired every time the remote is turned on. The light was not useful—it has three brightness settings but feels like a flashlight pointed at my face so it was more annoying than an enhancement. The clamping phone holder looks nice and is capable of holding the iPhoneXS but anything bigger will either not fit or not feel secure. Everything comes in a nice zippered semi-hard case which I always appreciate even if I repurpose it for another use. I did not find the other accessories useful but maybe you will. The combined mic, remote, and holder make the price reasonable and I’m happy enough with this kit, that I will be keeping it.The attached video demonstrates the sound. All recordings were done on the same day, in the same environment, and at the same distance. The audio has not been enhanced or adjusted for the video (no level boosts/cuts). The finger snaps are for testing the stereo separation of the mics.All equipment was purchased on Amazon at the same time.

As a beginner filmmaker, I’ve been making short films with my friends and family, and I needed a reliable mic to improve my audio quality. I’ve been using this shotgun mic on my Canon 90D, and it’s been a great starting point for me.While it's definitely not professional-grade audio, especially in noisy environments, for the price, it’s a solid entry-level option. It’s easy to set up and works well for basic filming needs. The sound quality is clear enough for most of my videos, and it’s made a noticeable difference compared to using the built-in mic on the camera.For anyone just starting out and on a budget, this mic is a great way to improve your audio without breaking the bank. It’s a good balance of performance and affordability, and it’s been a great addition to my gear collection as I continue learning and growing in filmmaking!
