Comica CVM-VM10II-BThe CVM-VM10II-B from Comica is a compact on-camera microphone that features a cardioid condenser mic for capturing audio recordings using a smartphone or DSLR. The lightweight microphone works best when used with a video camera for applications such as events, interviews, concerts and more.Cardioid Polar PatternThe most common unidirectional pattern is cardioid. It is most sensitive to sounds coming from in front of the mic and least sensitive directly behind the mic. A cardioid mic has a useful pickup angle of 131 degrees, so it can accommodate one or two singers and is forgiving enough to still pick up a vocalist with a wandering mic technique. The cardioid pattern offers very good feedback rejection.Includes Windmuff and WindshieldThe CVM-VM10II-B includes a high-quality synthetic fur cover that fits snugly over the microphone housing and provides an additional 25 dB of wind noise reduction.Professional Shock AbsorberFeaturing a suspension structure composed of a hard-wearing thermoplastic, it is far more effective at minimizing unwanted vibrations, handling and cable-borne noise than traditional elastic suspensions. Virtually indestructible, the shock absorber will never sag, snap, wear out or require rethreading to maintain its effectiveness.Full Aluminum HousingThe microphone body is made from aluminum, giving it a high level of RF rejection, and is finished in Comica's high-grade ceramic anti-glare black coating.Compatible with Smartphones and DSLRsThe CVM-VM10II-B is compatible with camcorders, audio recorders with 3.5mm TRS mini-jack, tablets or Mac computers.Power Driven by Video DeviceThe mic is powered by camera plug-in power (min. 3V) so no battery is required.
