Comica VM-30 | the WIRELESS Shotgun Mic.

Comica VM-30 Wireless Shotgun Microphone | Field-tested and reviewed! This is a REALLY interesting shotgun microphone solution. The lightweight and wireless form factor has me capturing audio that I wouldn't have been able to get otherwise. @ComicaAudio

Was the wired audio dropout that happened to you via XLR? and if not, how much of a difference will it make in terms of audio quality if I were to use an XLR and a recorder like the Zoom H4n pro with this mic

[@TroyMairs]

@@YosefRaffah I believe my dropout experience came in the form of the wireless transmisson, and not in the actual recording from the mic. So directly inputting the feed into a recorded through XLR should bypass that issue!

[@armandmensah]

Hi, how do you clean the white noise in post please ? Specially for environmental sounds recording ? Great video tho!

[@TroyMairs]

Thank you! I opt for Davinci Resolve's voice isolation/dialogue leveler for nearly all of my audio clean up. Adobe Audition seems to have some pretty cool tricks up its sleeve as well!

[@edr.2642]

Im new to all of this, what DB setting volume level do you have on the Mic? Receiver and on the Camera?

[@TroyMairs]

Great question! There are a few factors at play when it comes to setting audio levels. Generally, I try to keep my camera volume level as low as possible (in-camera preamps tend to be of poor quality). To compensate, I will adjust the mic gain to bring my audio levels to around -12db (for dialogue)

[@edr.2642]

@@TroyMairs thanks a lot!
