[@mountainmikeoutdoors]

This was extremely helpful even several years later, thanks man!

[@Marlon_Torres]

Glad it helped! Thanks for stopping by!

[@truebro77]

this is what these kind of videos should be like. Brilliant

[@Marlon_Torres]

Much appreciated Colin! Thanks for stopping by!

[@autofficinaportafortuna]

Thanks for the review! I was originally dead set on a Rode videomicro but after seeing this review, I am now leaning towards the CVM-VM10 II. Thanks again!

[@Marlon_Torres]

Thanks for stopping by Bruce!

[@flywrightdrones]

That was the best video comparison I’ve seen on this mic, great job sir

[@Marlon_Torres]

Wow, thanks! I appreciate the feedback!

[@Aceislife6]

Thank you you helped me in choice in mics I’m getting the comica it sounds great

[@Marlon_Torres]

Glad this video helped, hope it works out for you. Thanks for stopping by!

[@b3naqua]

Nice review! I got the Comica as well and have been comparing it to the VideoMicro. Audio quality is super similar - seems like the Comica is more sensitive and picks up more of the deeper lows/bass.

[@Marlon_Torres]

Thanks Ben, I totally agree, the more I've been using the Comica I've noticed that as well. I still like this mic though. Aside from that, what are your thoughts on it?

[@ChideeTv]

quick question, do you think the rode mic could fit on the mount of the Comica VM10 II?

[@Marlon_Torres]

Ha! Good question, funny you asked that was one of the first things I checked and the Rode VideoMicro will not fit in the Comica VM10 II mount. I wish it did!

[@ChideeTv]

MarlonPTY yeesh, thought it would fit too! haha would you recommend de comica? i have the rode one for ky cannon m6, but i wanted the comica for the slimmer shock mount for my small rig. and im undecided if its worth the change or judt stay with rode

[@Marlon_Torres]

I think the Comica is a solid choice! I thinks its a bit more sensitive than the Rode though, but if spending the extra money isn't an issue , it wouldn't hurt to have both.

[@circuslife888]

Thanks! It seems Comica has better noise cancelling feature and more directional sound compared to its Rode counterpart.

[@GadgetInspector]

Really nice and thorough review. The Comica holds its own, but the Rode still sounds just a bit better to me and doesn't pick up as much background noise.

[@Marlon_Torres]

Totally agree! The Comica are not a bad option at all and are little bit cheaper too.

Videomicro have less noisy in quiet room, but Comica have more direcional sound

[@wildwoodtop]

Generally speaking what type of microphone do Factory use for internal microphones on camcorders, Omnidirectional 🤔

[@MASmeinezeit]

Thx for the video. Helped me a lot as a beginner in the videomaking :)

[@wanderingwithyanvlogs]

Awesome review, the difference was probably more clearer when you did the indoor shots and were silent for a few moments. Rode defs was more quiet compared to Comica but comica looks like a great first beginner mic.

[@Marlon_Torres]

wanderingwithyan Hi Yan! Thank you for the comment and for stopping by! I try to make my video as helpful as possible. This mic is a solid option, especially for creating KZbin videos.

[@wanderingwithyanvlogs]

@@Marlon_Torres Thanks! I ended up getting the comica and will test it in upcoming vlogs on my channel thanks

[@FreestyleNath]

I’m curious, but what is the material used for the comica, like the mount is it out of metal or plastic? Same with the mic, is it metal or plastic?

[@Marlon_Torres]

The mic is made of aluminum and the shock-absorbing stand is plastic and the bottom of that (the part that slides in to the cold shoe mount) is metal. Hope that helps.

[@tomcatzorro8778]

Exceptionally great comparison video, straight to the point. Thumb up👍 Many thanks 📽️👊😸®️🦸‍♂️📸

[@Marlon_Torres]

Thanks I appreciate that! Which mic are you going to go with?

[@tomcatzorro8778]

@@Marlon_Torres Yeah bro. I definitely go for Comica. Thanks for helping me make my mind😉👍

[@hellohogo]

Hey, are you using the term windmuff interchangeably with deadcat and wind screen? I’m interested in the black foam sound as it’s more compact. Thanks

[@Marlon_Torres]

No, windmuff and deadcat are the same (furry ones), the wind screen is the foam. The wind screen is definitely more compact , but won,t help much in windy conditions. Hope that helps.

[@DocKenRunner42195]

Awesome review and comparisons, just wondering if we could use rod's dead cat on the comica vm10 2?

[@DocKenRunner42195]

Rodes dead cat that is..* smartphone spellings😂

[@DocKenRunner42195]

How about a BOYA mm1 vs rode mic comparison vlog Marlon? Ty.

[@Marlon_Torres]

Thanks Ken! Yes, I actually use the Rode Videomicro's dead cat with the Comica VM10 II mic all the time. No issues at all.

[@Marlon_Torres]

Haven't used the Boya before. If I get my hands on one I'll do a comparison video, but honestly, I'm very pleased with the ones I have.

[@jorbontabugsy]

Unfortunately you don 't did the comparasion without the dead cat on the beach to see the real difference without and on it next video maybe

[@yvelyne]

Thanks for the review!!

Thanks you sir! I appreciate you stopping by my channel.

[@เดินสายถ่ายคลิป]

good

[@Marlon_Torres]

เดินสายถ่ายคลิป thanks!

[@ericfernando4296]

seems like the comica is noisier, the videomicro is has less noise in quiet room. I'm curious about the comparison to the movo vxr10 which is very quiet, but has worse shock mount then the comica.

[@NewbArchitect]

The movo is louder so you can turn down preamp resulting in quieter overall. I saw this on dslr shooter... I'm still deciding though...

[@iraendozo]

Hi does the deadcat for the rode videomicro fit on the comica cvm vm10 II? Please reply....thanks!

[@Marlon_Torres]

Amazingly Ira Hi! Yes, it’s actually the “deadcat” and it fits on the Comica perfectly fine. Thanks for watching!

[@bhamda99]

Will this mic eliminate lens autofocus noise that internal mics tend to pic up?

[@Marlon_Torres]

That really depends on your lens and how loud it is non of my lens are loud enough for this mic to pic the noise up.

[@jeffreyyap2688]

Is there any compatibility issue if I use this for my go pro hero 5 black? I already have the mic adaptor for my go pro; just looking for a good affordable mic

[@Marlon_Torres]

Jeffrey, there shouldn't be any issue. It even lists "GoPro" on the box it comes in. As long as you have the correct adapter for your GoPro you'll be fine. Hope that helps! If you end up getting this mic, let me know how it goes with your GoPro. Thanks for stopping by!

[@kevindhousegayles]

Thank you and I have the mic and I like it

[@ezl9928]

So what do you say wich is better the rode videomicro or thid

[@ezl9928]

*this*

[@SKriLLeX1987]

Comica definitely did better in blocking out background noise while on the beach VS the Rode. I heard a lot of cars in the back with rode

[@Marlon_Torres]

I've actually been using the Comica more and more! Thanks for stopping by Ricky.

[@DavetheMonster]

Will this work on my Panasonic G80/G85 Mirrorless camera?

[@Marlon_Torres]

What's up Dave? Yes it will! I use it on my G85 and GH5 with no issues!

[@DavetheMonster]

Wow, that was such a fast response. Thank you much for the answer. I am considering of buying one real soon.

[@Marlon_Torres]

LOL You caught me at a good time! Thanks for stopping by my channel and if you decide to buy, please consider using the link in the description of this video!

[@DavetheMonster]

I wish I could but I'm from the UK and it doesn't work out for me. But if you do have a link for the UK users please don't hesitate to share it.

[@tzook8]

What would you recommend for the Sony FDR-X3000? Thanks!!

[@outolempinimi5165]

As far as I know FDR-X3000's mic input is completely f*cked up by Sony's own design flaw (the preamps are way too loud for typical comsumer level electret microphones). Your best bet would be to try some low sensitivity active microphone with -10 dB attenuation, but the traid off is increased noise floor which leaves only the most expensive low noise microphones such as Rode's professional level microphones on the table. In the end it would come more cost effective to get a dedicated audio recorder and sync the audio on post.

[@meetmalaya]

Is the version two better than the first one? Does the stand affect its quality?

[@Marlon_Torres]

No, per Comica it's the same exact mic, but the VM10 II has an improved mount.

[@meetmalaya]

MarlonPTY does the improved mount affect the vibrations that come in the mic significantly?

[@Marlon_Torres]

I really couldn't tell the difference, but I personally prefer the VM10 II mount because it is sturdier and stronger. I use the VM10 II all that time, the original sits in my drawer as a back up. Hope that helps.

[@meetmalaya]

MarlonPTY thanks man. Appreciate it. :D

[@timsonxx]

Very nice video. I just had the feeling that you are constantly shouting

[@lepecheur6599]

GREAT VID

[@Marlon_Torres]

Thank you! What mic are you using?

[@katrinaballadaressoto501]

Hi! Can be used in notebooks?

[@Marlon_Torres]

Hello Katrina, I have not tried using this on a notebook and Comica states that this is for smartphones, GoPro, and cameras. I will try to find out if it works on a notebook.

[@katrinaballadaressoto501]

@@Marlon_Torres Ok, thanks! I read on Amazon that it can be used on notebooks and I would like to try it ... and only buy one mic for all the gadgets.

[@Marlon_Torres]

Katrina Balladares Soto I hooked it up to a Dell notebook today and it worked. I posted a pic of it on my Community tab and my Facebook Page (MarlonPTY1) if you want to see it.

Cyril Jewels did you check the cable? Setting in camera? Make sire there’s no issue with the port either.

[@seekfactsnotfiction9056]

Comica cvm-vm10 II VS Boya By-MM1?

[@Marlon_Torres]

I can't say as I have never used the Boya By-MM1. They look very similar, I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same mic, but rebranded.

[@RomainSCHWALLER]

Thank you !!!

[@Marlon_Torres]

Romain SCHWALLER thanks for stopping by the channel! 👍🏽

[@consciouscoma85]

both were fine

[@takaliuang]

If comica add some -10db, 0 db or 20db...will be perfect!

[@Marlon_Torres]

that would definitely be a nice addition for a small mic like this one. They do have some with that option, but the mic is much bigger.

[@takaliuang]

@@Marlon_Torres Comica release two packages version, the first without case, and the last one with case...I just ask them.
