Great $40 Camera Microphone for Vlogging/Youtube - Movo VXR10 Review

Need a budget microphone for shooting vlogs or really anything? Check out this tiny killer $40 microphone! Works great with cameras, phones and even computers.
You can find the microphone here on Amazon (PAID LINK): geni.us/K7LXl
The Movo VXR10 may look very similar to the Rode VideoMicro, but I actually found it to be superior in several ways. This cheap microphone is much louder/more sensitive which is VERY important for avoiding that nasty hiss you can get on a lot of cameras. It also comes with a cable for use with your smart phone or tablet.
Finally, the microphone also includes a coldshoe mount and a very effective wind muff.

I picked up the Movo, based largely on your review, and found it works great. I’ve already made a 25 minute documentary piece with the Movo mounted on a Fujifilm X70 and a Zhiyun gimbal. A brilliant, svelte kit. Thanks for all your work! Dig your channel!

[@EposVox]

Yep I think I'm sold on this. Need one for a more "vloggy" setup for my G7 (if Panasonic fixes it) for events, but haven't bothered and can't justify the expensive ones. Just got burned by the original "VideoMic" back in the day and never wanted to look into these again.

[@andysshanghailife6595]

Bought it, just from this review! My Rode Video Micro crapped out recently and I was hesitant to buy one again after that. Love your channel!

[@GuyusSeralius]

Okay, this was the video out of all the RodeMicro vs Movo microphone reviews I've watched that really nailed it for me! Excellent review! And finally someone involved the fluffy deadcat muff test. I'm now definitely buying the Movo. Thank you so much!!!

[@Josho4]

Awesome! I've been waiting for the Video Micro to come down in price, but your side-by-side just sold me on the Movo... thanks, Caleb!!

[@RANDassociatesinc]

I have the Boya branded version. I have found it to be amazing and stunning quality for the price. I loved it so much I just got a second one!

[@TheCameraManReviews]

Just brought one, very happy with it. Great review!

[@vegasrenie]

Just received my T7i and will be getting this for traveling and vlogging. Your reviews are great, easy to understand, and even people like me can understand. The audio terms are still greek to me!

[@Ty4Tiberius]

I also have the T7i. Does the mic go well with it?

[@brianmillerspeaks]

Thanks so much for this review, Caleb. I've been using the VideoMicro on my Canon M3 for a year and love it, but being an audio guy who came over to video I'm constantly frustrated with the noise floor. The second you said "6 db louder" my brain translated that into the rule of thumb we learned back in audio engineering school: 6 db is "twice as loud." Already ordered through your link and looking forward to checking it out for myself.

[@thequestofodssey]

may I ask for your review pls after you bought the movo pls

[@mimilswen7022]

Thank you ! After 3 days of searching for a cheap but good mic, I have finally found the one, thanks to you ❤️

[@DesFit]

Dang it, I didn't even need a new mic but this "sounds" like a pretty good deal. Thanks again for your awesome vids.

[@MPERIALENTERTAINMENTD]

Thank you for your reviews. I am being gifter a Cannon M50 for Christmas in 2020, and I am looking at affordable exterior mics. RODE has come up a lot, but I am on a fixed budget. Your comparison video here was most helpful. Both mics look good, but the higher db on the Movo sounds better to me and at a price I can live with. Great video!

[@jordanramitt8539]

You sir have just saved my life:) as always great video

[@geeksplice]

This is great! I was thinking of getting the videomicro for a simple vlog setup with my T6i. I think I'll probably get this instead. Thanks for doing this review!

[@tekguyphoto]

Perfect , thanks. I was looking for a second rode micro for my 6D2 - and my G85 will use the Rode and the 6D2 the MOVO. Awesome.

[@thehumanchris]

Perfect dude, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the informative video

[@MioMyDog]

Thank you! Especially for that Canon notice, I'll definitely get this one!

[@Lucumate]

Thank you for the information. I was looking yesterday for a decent mic for my canon SL2 and now that just checked youtube it suggests me this vid. Big thanks

[@Mrgunsngear]

great review

[@froylandmanon-og1036]

Thank you, my great sir for this comparison. Two thumbs up for the informative video! *Grabs the Movo VXR10 aka BOYA BM-MM1*

[@uriahpapaya9137]

This was extremely helpful. Thank you for doing this video Caleb!

[@ImaginetMedia]

Excellent review and info. Thanks for taking the time to share your results.

[@jalynemccurdy]

Thank you for making this comparison video bc I wanted to know if brands mattered.

[@empress7222]

Thank you so much for this video, so much KZbinrs tend to review only expensive gear, I appreciate this video 100%

[@AndreyVerevko]

sick thank you for the review! Definitely gonna pick this up!

[@TheMechnicalOwl]

Cool, just what i need for my videos. Thanks for the great review.

[@Zander13Productions]

Best comparison yet. You sold me on the Movo

[@RightTurnsAndLeftovers]

Thank you for the review. I found it pretty helpful as well as your answers in the comments.

[@thehopenetwork7625]

Thanks for this video. Going with the Movo VXR10.

[@VidadeFermentos]

You make thorough reviews, I'm learning something for sure!

[@niltons.spagnuolo]

Congratulations on the excellent comparison. I think it's important to know the pros and cons of a product before purchasing it. I appreciate your reviews because they show so much more than brand fanboys show.

[@kylehamilton6560]

Im so happy I came across your channel, your videos are so useful.

[@BennyTheFoolsApprentice]

Thank you for the review. Just happen to run across you looking at a review on this product. I'm going to get it. Starting my first KZbin channel on my iPhone.

[@ThatsitWeregoinfishin]

Glad you used the eos m! I use the eos m3 and a videomicro to film my fishing/vlogs and might switch over to the movo!

[@OscarRodriguez-kh6xm]

Thank you! I love it. I was searching a killer microphone for my smartphone.

[@phone7x7]

This is fabulous. I am totally going to buy it. Thanks for the review.

[@benfergusonishere]

Thanks for doing this review video! Buying mine now!

[@LuisaBrimble]

What an awesome review! Thank you so much for sharing that. Off to buy one.

[@user-lj5jo7ns2k]

Great review about the Movo I was not sure if I wanted it. After watching this review I am buying one now.

[@Christian-qv3xi]

Great review! If I didn't already have the rode micro I would totally jump on that MOVO. Keep up the great work! Thanks!

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Thanks Christian!

[@BK-qc8rr]

I’m sold on the vxr10 monster difference, great review

[@keezytv7854]

wow... such a crazy difference. good video man

[@JavierGonzalez-vf6rr]

This looks great. I was looking for a second microphone to put on my camera while i use my main with the recorder. Now i know which one to buy. Thanks

[@WasleySchultz]

This is awesome man thanks for the review! I used the Rode Video Mic, and would love something smaller and less noisy! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@vanbyarryferraren4744]

I've made my decision, thanks to this.

[@FyaBinghi]

I just got the movo & been using it on my IPhone. I love it. !! Great video.

[@Brunellesp]

Yep I'm in thanks very much

[@lkfxfotografiavideo177]

Thanks so much for testing on my beloved EOS M 👏👌Will definitely try this out you're awesome

[@LoverOfTech]

This is my new portable mic. You’re awesome Caleb🙌🏿

[@ObviousMediaYT]

Wow 5:01 I had to turn the volume up all the way just to hear you on the Rode.. definitely ordering the Movo instead👍👍👍

[@ted_nemeth]

love all ur vids you've helped me tremendously. thanks.

[@pokerpokerfla]

Nice review. I like learning about new equipment options and your channel is a great resource.

[@dorupero]

Yay I'm buying this. I had the rode for a while now but with a broken shock mount.

[@frankalvarez8418]

I went ahead and purchased it and it is great. Good recommendation.

[@Muwex]

Thanks again for awesome video! We appreciate!

[@TaylormadeTV2004]

Yes!!! Just what I needed to hear.

[@dslrrookie6808]

I normally use a Rode VideoMic Pro Plus, but this looks like a great solution for vlogging with a gimbal as the larger shotgun mics get in the way for balancing or in underslung mode. Thanks, Caleb, that’s a good tip for us Canon users.

[@RogerEdon]

Very nice video 🙏🏻

[@ethanbarnes3847]

Definitely picking it up thanks!!

[@joserobertocastellon]

Great find!! Had the Rode on my wishlist but I'm intending to buy a Canon camera so the Movo is now a no brainer. Thanks for sharing!

[@Edgartripp]

Such a good review!! Thanks !

[@kindhumblejesse]

BOOM! Another great review. Keep up the good work.

[@JosephWilsonProductions]

Good review !!! I am going to pick one up! Thanks.

[@m_broadcasts1947]

Really like your new intro and outro style!

[@Jimrogalski]

Thanks Caleb! I just ordered one. I WAS using a $199 Sennheiser MKE400 but the battery connections broke off inside. NOT what you expect from a $200 mic - and I take care of my gear. The Movo will be a nice inexpensive addition.

[@IcaroFarias]

Love this. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat content. Thank You, Caleb!

[@PabloRVasquez]

Could be true that the Movo might be louder but I also think that it picks up more Highs than the Rode, which may seem like it's louder. The Rode sounds more full and richer. Love the review! 🙌🏼

[@Broxty]

More wind noise and that shock absorber will for sure break, I decided to return mine due to the quality being lower and rodes reliability. I did like that the movo came with the input for smartphones. I had to purchase that for my rode.

[@AANasseh]

Holly Shit that's great! I'm ordering it through the link right away!! Thanks!

[@CreativeRyan]

Sweet!

[@TheFPSChannel]

I got one of these...and it is awesome on my GH5. Surprisingly friggin good for casual audio.

[@Shopbuilt]

Man sounds really good with just your phone

[@cilledelight4831]

Yeah but using dslr is aweful hiss sound.

[@HaileyBright]

This microphone is great! Thanks!

[@AlwaysEricFullerton]

Thanks! Just ordered it through your link!

[@clippingpointmedia1105]

Thanks for the video. Wind noise is always an issue for me shooting cars at the track & outdoor interviews.

[@clippingpointmedia1105]

Go figure,doesn't ship to me lol.

[@kevinbarraco4913]

thanks for the mic tip, I have bought one!

[@headbangerstrail]

Thanks for the video! Gonna get me one!

[@stephanieadavison]

Perfect! I was just gonna spend the extra $20 and buy the rode micro! Thanks for the review!

[@chrisw443]

I got two lavs from movo, best mics i bought. going on two years

[@theurbanartist775]

I bought this microphone and I love it! I now use it for my KZbin videos👍

[@bahamasking2063]

That Movo is really nice. I have that in my Walmart virtual cart now.

[@BeingKimKerr]

Great content. Great value

[@Burgoyne1777]

I bought the MOVO news-gathering omni dynamic tulip mic: Amazing performance! Built like a tank, too.

[@tiemji]

Thanks for the vert comprehensive review

[@studentoftheword6115]

Very Good Review and I love your new mic.

[@FieldingSmith]

Thanks for the comment at the end regarding use for Pany cameras, my GX8 audio lvls can peak with the VideoMicro at lowest level, still it might be worth picking up one as a spare or to use with Oly bodies. How is the sound isolation on the side/back vs the Micro, which was pretty impressive in other tests.

[@david_marcu]

I just got the microphone, its awsome!

[@taqlatif]

Great review! Would be great if you could do a review on distant audio quality review between the movo xvr10 vs trakstar 598 vs newer trakstar 698. All are quite reasonable in price and i wonder which give best quality and overall audio for outdoor shoots (noisy and crowded areas, as well as different distances). Im sure it would help everyyone out there looking for the best cheaper alternatives for audio recording.

[@Syke492]

Loving it!!

[@bonakietv1725]

Very informative review. Thanks.

[@hungnpham]

I bought this for my DJI osmo action. works great!

[@wescraiglow7688]

Same as the Boya BY-MM1, which I grabbed on Amazon for $40 and have been very pleased with. Thanks for the great review!

[@eladbari]

someone here replied that the BOYA shakes a lot and makes much noise while shooting and waking. is that true? Looks like the BOYA's mount isnt that good. [neither the dead cat]...

[@wescraiglow7688]

Just spent the week in Athens, walking miles through the city, filming street life. Never heard any noise like you describe. The mic performed well, and as expected for something of this price point. I am pleased.

[@eladbari]

Glad to hear, man. It's a bummer to buy the BOYA while I have the Videomicro...but I will see how bad it really is with my canon camera. This soundman told me that many people mistake loudness=for better quality. But, you cant go wrong here...the extra loudness sounds better [it also adds bass]...even though there are some faults with the BOYA [annoying wind sound is still hapenning for example..]

[@masterlyrics1]

That is a really excellent microphone I've been having it for about 3 months bad thing for me is it's too loud for my LG V20

[@GGONZ4L]

You can also find this microphone called as BOYA BY-MM1 on Aliexpress, just recently got mine on my new Lumix G7 camera, superbly happy with both of them, my brother has the Rode one on his G7, and i would say the Boya one at least has less hissing in the background since its a bit more sensitive, but both of them are great mics.

[@cameronreynoldsphotography9154]

Great find! Great video! Wondering if you have considered a comparison of budget teleprompters?

[@thankyoufordrifting551]

Thanks Caleb :) Purchased through your link!

[@DJHydro]

Buying it this weekend! Thanks!!

[@DJHydro]

Nvm, it’s out of stock..

[@Liberti_Deveraux]

SOLD!!!! Thank you!!

[@Thunderbolt03]

We use the exact same Desk Speakers as you have there at my work studio

[@blackberry4007]

I love when you use the mic with i phone !!! It was amazing!! Big like from Kurdistan 👍
