Vloggers, filmmakers, and videographers of all kinds love it. Whether you’re making a short film or shooting your latest vlog on Venice Beach, the VXR10 will deliver clean, crisp audio, every time. Podcasting - Here, we show how to best use the VXR10 for podcasting, narration and voiceovers, including a simple setup for a two-person podcast setup. One thing about recording outside of the sterile environment of a studio is that you get to capture the richness of the world. A downside to that, though, is that your recordings can often be muddied with unnecessary noise or clutter. As a shotgun microphone, the VXR10 helps you avoid this through focused recording. Movo positions the VXR10-PRO as a professional grade video microphone capable of recording high-quality audio. During my testing, I found that this little shotgun mic is very capable for its price. It's definitely leagues ahead of the integrated mics found in your average cameras, smartphones, and tablets. The sound was clear, and the mic did a great job at capturing the target. There was a bit of ambient noise in the recordings, especially in loud outside areas, despite the boxes claims of max noise reduction. This is to be expected however, since the mic is essentially plug and play and doesn't offer any built-in settings. The charging case has a 3,000mAh capacity battery and takes about four hours to fully recharge when plugged into a laptop or 2 hours when plugged into a wall charger. I found it recharged faster when I used a fast charging device like Anker’s Nano II USB-C charger. It reached a full charge in about 2 hours when I did that. Also, my Chargeasap Flash Pro has a fast-charging option and charged the case fully within two hours, further stretching how long I could record audio while filming. Bravo on battery life, Movo, ya done good, kids. Bottom Line

I like the overall design of the Movo WMX-2 Duo wireless mic system, and the build quality of the receiver and transmitter units is solid. However, when you bring in the DJI Mic, the overall design is like comparing a Hyundai to a Mercedes. Hyundai makes great cars, but they’re not a Mercedes. But give me a dependable Hyundai any day because it’s going to get the job done consistently with little to no fuss, and I love that. However, both the Rode Wireless Go II and DJI Mic come with built-in storage and can record pro-level audio on their own. Movo WMX-2 Duo setup and controls Find the best lavalier microphone to suit your needs in our wide range of options below, and get helpful tips and information for using your lav mics. Lavalier microphones, or lav mics, are tiny mics that you have probably heard called a number of different names, including lapel mics, body mics or collar mics. Each of these names was derived from places where you can clip these small, powerful devices. Ultimately, lav mics are great for TV and public appearances and are commonly used during interviews or for recording film audio. Vloggers and podcasters enjoy using them, too. Filmmaking - In this video, we go over how to use the VXR10 in a talking head setup, as well as using it on a boom pole for on-the-go filmmaking. Vlogging - Here, we go over the best way to use the VXR10 for vlogging, with both a DSLR camera and a smartphone setup.One thing that’s clear when comparing the two mics is that the UM700 aspired to be a sleeker incarnation of the Blue Yeti. It accomplishes that task, as it is slightly lighter (just over a pound less) and takes up a little less space. Keep in mind, the mic/stand combo may be slightly clunky on your desk. I’ve generally learned to allot the space for a mic and stand in my modest podcast setup. If there’s one thing creative individuals know how to do it’s improvise with what they have. But when it comes to telling your story, you shouldn’t let things like gear stand in the way. Crocodile or alligator clips are used to easily attach the mics to clothing. They can also be attached with tape. Lav mics can be taped to clothing such as a shirt or cap, to the person’s skin, or even hidden in people’s hair.

And say goodbye to disappointing sound. This universal video shotgun microphone significantly improves your audio quality whether you use it with a standard smartphone or the highest-quality DSLR. But condenser microphones are popular for a reason, and the rich sound quality you get with the VSM-7 is why. For folks who want total control over their audio and that demand the best quality, you're going to be shopping in this market. BATTERY-FREE DESIGN: Microphone draws power directly from your phone or camera. Compatible with any recording device with a 3.5mm TRS or 3.5mm TRRS portIf there’s anything we’ve learned over the years, it’s that finding the perfect microphone for all of your content is akin to finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow—it’s pretty unlikely. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t get a great mic that’ll take your audio to the next level. Below we’ll discuss which microphones we consider the best for smartphones and cameras, as well as what we’re using for vlogging, gaming, music recording, interviews, and work. The cable is also a bit cheap feeling. It works, and you get sound from it, but for how long is the question. For this review, I used my own Stagg 5-meter XLR cable, in part because the included cable wasn't long enough for my setup, but you can feel the difference in quality to even this affordable cable from the one in the box. Movo has teamed up with content creator and audio expert Brian Miller to create a 6-part, 35 minute video course to help you master the VXR10. In it, we go over all the basics of using the microphone, as well as how to use it in various different setups.
