Saramonic SR-M3 Review

The SR-M3 is a $60 on-camera microphone by Saramonic. I test it out and compare it to the on-camera mic that's currently dominating the low-budget market, the Rode Videomicro.

[@DoctorMthepodcast]

very very well made video.your fluency in the literature says a lot about your research. and how much time you spent on testing it.keep it up.Btw i was gonna buy the Deity D4 over the rode video micro but this video of yours helped me seal the deal on the saramonic

[@IMPRESSIONSLASVEGAS]

wow I'm impressed I just stopped by because I'm purchasing a mic. but because this review was so excellent I'm going to look around your channel for more entertaining and educational videos

[@vinceng3876]

Great review man! I'm convinced to get this mic :))

[@libafried5840]

Excellent review. Thanks.

[@taurider7085]

Informative and exactly what I was looking for ... one question please .... do you think I can use this with Yi 4k plus (action cam) with the mic adaptor for vlogging. Your thoughts please .... thanks again ....

[@jeremyliu7586]

[@GaryJahman]

[@xupeng58]

very nice review! May I know which microphone you used for this video's voice-over? Thank you.

[@RageStudios]

excellent review! Where are you? looks like somewhere in Asia

[@allanrhane]

saw this 20/09/2019 - great review! this help me decide on this mic

[@DubravkoTerzic]

hahaha same here. I just bought one. :)

[@albertso7108]

Great review. How is it compared to Rode VideoMic Go?

[@huruhara_everywhere]

this is great... can you suggest the size of a furry wind muff to be used on this?

[@daletch1972]

got a question.i havnt done any video on my dslr.what equiptment/software would you sugest for an absolute begginer

[@larrytam2869]

Hi, I want to buy mic for my Canon EOS M3 mirrorless camera for shooting music performance , such as concert. Would you suggest this SR-M3 for me ? Thanks!

[@alirezafasihi1125]

Hi, I'm about to buy a microphone for my camra and I have shortlisted the SR-M3 and Vmic Mini, which one do you recommand? Just for some indoor recording...

[@kesniel1714]

Would the deadcat of the videomicro fit on the sr-m3 by any chance?

[@aldrindetablan4358]

dude will you teach us on how to set the audio? thanks!

[@nelsonortas818]

Awesome Vid

[@ibapa888]

Awesome review very informative even for 6 year old video. This mic is being sold at US$52 now.

[@theshopper6902]

do you have video on takstat mic. ? i want to compare takstar with this mic. no video on internet yet

[@HighlyAkicktive]

The Video Micro has more sibilance then the Saramonic, not a bad mic for the money. Great review, thanks a lot!

[@LindzCan]

*Is it good for Canon SL2?*

[@AaronMarasigan]

Have you tried the Takstar SGC-598?

[@MislavCupek]

Amazing review! Would you still recommend this mic in its price range or is there anything better?

[@rafiega7573]

For me it's far better than rode videomicro.. You get much features with the saramonic one

[@ZaberAnsaryOfficial]

Seems like the Mic I wanna Buy. Still not available on AliExpress Tho

[@marcuseffendi5241]

I have saramonic smartrig+. Can this onw be plugged in into this? Thank you

[@aman681]

Hows it compared to the Rode Video micpro?

[@GatherSuccess]

would be nice if u can do wind test :)

[@rexlibon6282]

this mic is awesome , the small package is deceiving. I was planning to buy a Takstar but bought this instead. The quality is almost as good as my zoom H1 (as per my opinion only.)

[@theshopper6902]

why didn't you go with takstar ( it lacks bass) ..this mic. sounds good but there is no actual comparision video on both side to side

[@khangnguyen1150]

Hi, can I connect SR-m3 with macbook?

[@saintupid7034]

can you directly connect it to pc?

[@wondrlush]

How connect to iphone

[@shaq-sloth]

Are you able to operate it on a cellular device (like using it as a boom)?

[@zy_cheng]

It would be possible, it does have a 1/4" female thread on the base of it.

[@shaq-sloth]

ZY Productions What's a 1/4" female thread?

[@zy_cheng]

It's the typical thread size on your tripods

[@shaq-sloth]

ZY Productions gotcha, thanks!

[@woox200sx]

Saramonic SR-M3 vs Takstar sgc-598?

[@j10ul27]

saramonic

[@AaronMarasigan]

same question....

[@nelsonbellamy3778]

❤️🏆🥇

[@frankscalzo5905]

The Rhode has better isolation and still a nice warm sound... Better clarity..

[@WAQARALI-df8wr]

bro, when you suppose to review new NIKON D850

[@ZaberAnsaryOfficial]

WAQAR ALI He uses Canon.

[@jellycheesee6493]

Can i know where to buy online in Malaysia?

[@zy_cheng]

I was told that it will be in stock at YL Camera soon.

[@ww1www]

Funny, the Rode VM sounds better, much more detailed to me. Yes, preamp noise definitely is higher :)

[@DonovanKong]

What lens is that bro?

[@zy_cheng]

The one you see mounted on the camera in the video is the EF-S 17-55mm F2.8, the one used in the outdoor shots is the EF-S 10-22mm. The one that's on my A-Cam is the Sigma 18-35mm.

[@DonovanKong]

Ah I see! Great review man! I have heard that the 17-55 IS will degrade over time, is that the case for your lens?

[@zy_cheng]

It's not the most wonderfully constructed lens, I particularly hate the focus ring on it, in fact I don't really like the build of the lens in general. But I still use it because the image quality is pretty decent.

[@pepebenitezruiz]

the low cut is bad very bad

[@blazbohinc5735]

Your teeth. Enough said Get that sh*t fixed. Please. You're damaging them in long term by leaving them to be like this. Get them corrected.

[@siwooedward501]

얼마전에 구입한 마이크입니다. 한국에서는 이러한 설명을 해주는 사람이 없어서 여기서 좋은 설명을 들었습니다. 매우 감사합니다.
