Shure Motiv MV88+ Video Mic Kit | Everything You Need To Know

[@soarornor]

I was astonished how awful this mic actually is. I bought it for video. Never imagined that you cannot use Apple’s native camera with this. You must use their camera app which sucks. No zoom. There is a wide and ultra wide and that’s it. Plus there is a few seconds delay before the selection kicks in. Worse than that, all video recorded by this stays in Shure’s app. It does not go to the devices camera roll. That means that if you shoot video and wish to edit it in iMovie, you can’t actually access the video. Whoever designed this product has no clue how things work in video creation land. This guy apparently found how to record stereo audio in the audio only app, but I couldn’t find that. At that point I was well sick of this product and packed it up for return. Also, you have to disengage the mic or plug headphones into it to hear the audio. Breathtakingly dumb. Part of this is Apple’s fault for not providing an external mic option that would not require an additional app. There is to my knowledge no landscape stereo mic option that exists out there for an iPhone or iPad.

I going to be doing vlogs outside walking along the sidewalk, what’s the best preset I should use to reduce the sound of cars driving by, thanks this would be helpful since I just bought this

[@charlesgreen4240]

I appreciate the review. Will it record if instead of the Shure app showing on the iPhone screen there would be a teleprompter app scrolling a script?

Can I use it when I am recording with SMULE?

[@natalietepaa]

You have probably figured this out by now, but I recently got this microphone and it is great with Smule. :-)

Hi, I just got my video kit . Set it up, dowloaded the app. Recorded but when I played it back, there was no sound. Am I missing something?

[@nafis9465]

You need to connect a headphone

[@HEADINHO1]

Sheikh Muhtade yeah, I literally bought it today and had the same issue. Your iPhone lightning cord is in, so doesn’t play back. You need to disconnect cord to hear playback audio.

Nice video of the guitar's soundhole. Would have been good to know how it sounds at a realistic distance

My phone has a micro usb like the shure mv88+ does i think...can i use a cable with a micro usb on both ends? That should work right?

[@DJChrisArgueta]

Is the stereo setting a true stereo signal? Also, will this work with the Zoom app? Thanks in advance.
