I don't understand, why you didn't blow up already. Your channel is so freaking good and inspiring. I can just watch it to get in better mood and also learn something new by the way of watching it. Thanks for a lot of inspiration and I hope I will start to apply it in my creative works as well. Your work is almost same as mine that I imagine. Keep going, you are amazing. Your videos look s-tier and are top quality in any way possible. I'm just starting to get more into creating videos, so I hope to learn something new everyday. Have an amazing day and good light at shoots ;)

[@VictorLaforteza]

Thank you, Michal! I appreciate that a lot. I don't mind the slow growth to be honest! The process of making videos and sharing my knowledge is something that I enjoy a lot. The numbers are just the byproduct of that. I'm glad to hear that these little YT videos inspire you to shoot and apply techniques you learn from here. Share them on the discord group if you want! always welcome to see everyone's work.

[@stanekmisa]

@@VictorLaforteza Numbers are deffinitelly a byproduct, but people arent. I hope that you will blow up because you will reach to more people then and they can learn from your knowledge as well. If you are not doing it because of numbers, it's amazing and keep going. You will learn a lot also. And thx for inviting me on discord. I will Deffinitelly look it up.

[@ComicaAudio]

Hi Victor! Thank you so much for sharing! We really appreciate that you can make such a great review :) The reason for not setting up an external microphone is to keep the size of the microphone tiny enough. In the future, we will consider improving the technology to take into account both the small size of the microphone and the external microphone. Keep going!💪

[@kennydimitra]

hello comica i hope i get reply. what if i use usb c to trs female adapter to connect with lav mic, does it works ?

[@thanhmmo3819]

@@kennydimitra Just analog only. No digital via usb C. So no way to use like what you mention

[@Mr_Kenneth]

Hey Victor, this looks great. I just purchased the DJI Mic and the form factor and charging case (very similar) was a game changer. I urge everyone to purchase a wireless mic like this 👍

[@VictorLaforteza]

Definitely agree!! The form factor with these are awesome.

[@janeaustine1078]

Audio takes an important part in a good quality video. It is necessary to take mics to improve the sound quality. Thanks for sharing! Great video as always!🙌

[@VictorLaforteza]

100%!!

[@kunalchoudhary5601]

Loved your review and how you express your content

[@CWCG-u3o]

Great video ! It’s so helpful to me ! Have been struggling to pick and choose and now I have the answer 😂! I’m gonna get it for my Vlog and potentially interview video 🎉 Thanks again man Keep it up !! Can’t wait to see more

[@VictorLaforteza]

Glad I was able to help with what you need! This is a nice mic setup for vlogging for sure!

[@PurposedLensPhotoMedia]

Nice review! It seems they gave out a lot of these units to review! I wish you nothing but the best, keep up the great work! 💪🏾😃

[@VictorLaforteza]

Thank you! 💪🏽 they did ya! Makes sense for a product launch as we’ve seen on KZbin lately haha but they were kind enough to sponsor the video 😇

[@holliente]

Continue thanks for the fire content bro! I would use these to film more promo interviews and vlogs.

[@VictorLaforteza]

Thank you for always tuning in my dude! These mic’s are definitely good for those!!

[@DecoratewithManas]

Hey Victor, nice video. The processed audio did wonders! Could you please make a video on how you process your audio as well? Thanks.

[@VictorLaforteza]

Potentially!! But it's quite simple in adobe audition / premiere - Denoise > Multiband Compressor > Parametric EQ (classic V preset)

[@DecoratewithManas]

@@VictorLaforteza thanks! Super helpful

[@Compassionless]

Can you make a video on how you treat your audio and what your process looks like? Thank you

[@VictorLaforteza]

I'll try but I'm not the best at audio tbh haha! here's a quick breakdown of my processing - I pretty much do denoise + multiband Compressor + Parametric Equalizer (classic v). Keep the levels at -6db for vocals.

[@stanekmisa]

I want to take my videography more seriously and a good audio is something I've been missing for a long time. I will like to use it in my workflow and save money as I've been already renting mics like that. Good equipment doesn't mean good video. But let's be honest. Audio is really important. I'm only a film student so I don't have enough money for everything. I need to invest safely in my equipment. This will help me to invest my money in something else, like lights etc. @stanekmisa Have a great day and thanks for doing giveaways for your community. You are really helping us grow.

[@VictorLaforteza]

You're on the right path Michal! Audio and lighting are often missed in terms of shooting video. Good luck on the giveaway :) Stay tuned next week!!

[@samzilla1050]

Can you use the vimo s on a GoPro? Also does the vimo s have the same safety for clipping as the vimo c?

[@VictorLaforteza]

I think it's only for mobile phones :( and yes it has a safety too

[@timothyrudder49]

Does it work a gopro.

[@stormrowles8577]

Love it. Quick question. Did you go through the black magic design training? if so did you just use the free videos that they have listed? or did you enroll in a course to become certified?

[@VictorLaforteza]

Yeah, I did the free training first and then looked up a in person course that Blackmagic offered or at least a certified trainer to get certified. Nothing special really just means you went through their training and you’re equipped with the knowledge and passed the course.

[@stormrowles8577]

@@VictorLaforteza Ok awesome thanks so much for the information! I am in the middle of deciding if I am going to switch to Sony, while also wanting to begin mastering color grading in a style that I like. Honestly I am binge watching your videos currently and have already learned so much. I think you sold me on Sony while simultaneously giving me access to an insane amount of information that is about to take all of my work to the next level. You are the goat, hope we get to work together someday.

[@VictorLaforteza]

@@stormrowles8577 Amazing to hear!! I'm glad these little videos help you move forward with color grading. The process is so fun!! More grading videos soon! Just catching up on a lot of work

[@DavidAdlawan_]

Hello Vic, does this work if i pair with Boya BY-K2 to Comica Vimo C3 for Dji osmo action 4?

[@VictorLaforteza]

I don’t think so :(

[@asyrafzuhairie5960]

I am seriously confused whether to choose between this comica model or hollyland lark m1 😂

[@VictorLaforteza]

I like the comica one compared to the m1! its a tough choice but it comes down to preference at the end i think

[@gedreeves9692]

Nice stuff man, makes me want to buy a third party rode wireless charging dock. First world problems 😂

[@VictorLaforteza]

Hahaha these charging cases are so clutch man!

[@chleepy]

product design goes crazy tho

[@VictorLaforteza]

I like it a lot! sleek and small.

[@Emmysofly]

Is this c1 or c2

[@MessageOfANation]

Mine clip on the lowest setting? Help? 😆

[@DYTM23]

How would you connect it to an Osmo action 3?

[@VictorLaforteza]

USBC to 3.5mm adapter and a cage

[@beargam1957]

count me in

[@maturetad5530]

Can I use this mic on my android phone?

[@VictorLaforteza]

Yup! Get the one with the usbc option Vimo S

[@maturetad5530]

@@VictorLaforteza thank uu

[@MessageOfANation]

Mine clip at the lowest level! Why?

[@VictorLaforteza]

Check your pre amp levels. Return it if the problem persists.

[@rocellitocuyom2920]

this will be a great addition on my vlogging gear. great audio in a mini body... @cellssion

[@smuuchhi8673]

Hey victor, please check out Gawx art videos and tell us what is special about his style of cinematography . It would be a big help

[@VictorLaforteza]

I’ve seen some of his videos. He’s very talented and understands the principle of lighting to begin with and then he pushes his own style and personality into his videos.

Hola Victor! Great video as always! ..I would use it for interview and short film 😎 @marphotofilms I had bought other low budget mics but these look like really work. Thanks for sharing! Saludos

[@RonnieCatipay]

I love how you show us the differences between original and the microphones. This would be a nice microphone to start my first time trying making a short cinematic film @catipayrannel I hope I'm not too late it's fine if I am.

[@VictorLaforteza]

Still in 😬 12 still here on my time zone. Best of luck!

[@dannyly]

Can you record with a lav microphone? I’d use this to record my family vlogs. I shoot on the RF16mm f2.8 and the AF motors can be heard on shotgun mics. @anhbai

[@VictorLaforteza]

No :( there's no 3.5mm jack on the microphone units to connect a lav.

[@johnpaultougan5241]

Love the vid Victor! both look like cool microphones! Id definitely use the Vimo C for more doc work and just talking head shots. Also can you plug a lav mic into the mics? @jpvisions_

[@VictorLaforteza]

Vimo C is definitely a good contender for doc work! Unfortunately, they had to keep the size down so there's no 3.5mm jack to put a lav.

[@kengriffith45]

I think this would be a good compact solution for the travel walkabout videos that my wife and I are starting to create. I'm always looking for smaller gear to travel with, so I can fit more duty-free in my case on the way home!! @kengriffith45

[@VictorLaforteza]

Perfect for it!!! 🙌🏽 good luck on the giveaway!

[@gigihanmandarin]

Victor, why are you limiting yourself to such small, and saturated niche of photo/videography on youtube? You are not doing anything what others have not and not any better, but, IMO since you have hinted your fluency in Chinese language and having a Chinese partner, you can have audience size of hundreds of thousands if not above a million, if you can shift your channel focus to maybe mix-race relationship (@Asianboss), stories of you learning Chinese (@xiaomanyc), or heavier topics like china-taiwan politics (@TheChinaShow / @SerpentZA). Engagements (aka controversies) of those types of channels are through the roof. You have the "natural advantage", why not use it to your benefit instead of trying to infiltrate this saturated niche of vlogging gears and is progressing to nowhere....

[@gigihanmandarin]

Just don't become yet another Chinese CCP shill like @Barrett

[@VictorLaforteza]

I’ve done the vlogging niche before and frankly I didn’t like it. I enjoy making these video/photography videos even if I don’t reach hundreds of thousands.

[@justinecapistrano]

Hey Victor kamusta?, Since I really wanted to pursue filmmaking. This would be a great opportunity for me to use Comica Vimo C and Vimo S for my voice over for short film and future video tutorials on youtube. I've been passionate for the last 7 years to continue creating lowkey videos for my own and to be known in the field of filmmaking in the future. Also, I've been a fan of yours because all the ideas and tips you gave on your tutorials really helps me a lot to my workflow in editing. I am so amazed on how you produce your contents here on youtube that is why I am really enjoying and visually inspired with your videos. Thank you for being my Inspiration Victor. @_justinecapistrano 🇵🇭

Amazing!! really good to hear Justine. Audio is often overlooked and this piece might help you elevate your videos! Good luck on the giveaway and thank you for always watching! I appreciate it.

hello mr victor, I would be very happy to be able to use this mic for videography needs on my cheap camera. namely the second hand sony a5100 which does not have a microphone jack to produce my videos. thank you mr victor. Iam your indonesian viewers. @user261941 or my project @orainji.project
