Deity V-Mic D3 Pro High SNR Super-Cardioid Directional Shotgun Microphone with Rycote Shockmount for DSLRs, Camcorders, Smartphones, Tablets, Handy Recorders, Laptop，Bodypack Transmitters, Wind Shield

Not sure if "sheerness" or "warmth" are how I would describe this mic, but I didn't want to get it anything less than 5 stars in any category. This mic is incredible; especially for the price. I have used it attached to my camera and also as a boom mic, and with proper placement, using the gain knob, and proper camera audio settings, this is hard to beat. Especially being able to plug directly into the camera. If you need XLR, I know that Deity makes an adapter for this. The stepless gain knob is a really great feature. Likely, you'll just set and forget, but being able to make small tweaks during a shot can be a life saver if the shot is great.Sound quality is amazing. I wouldn't say it's bright or warm. Somewhere in between. I'm not sure if it's the mic or my camera (Sony A6400) but there seems to be some compression to the sound, but it's not anything I'd complain about. I usually add some compression in post production, but I barely have to any now if at all. It's also very balanced. I do not have to do much EQ at all with this mic. I also have a RODE NTG-2 and would choose the Deity over the RODE any day.It seems very durable. The enclosure is some type of metal. It is very light. USB-C charging is fast and a very nice feature. Eventually the mic will stop holding a charge, but that will take quite a long time. I have contacted Deity and you are able to contact them for battery replacement when that day comes. They have locations in the US and I was told turn around is about a week. The Rycote shockmount is very good and will fit on camera coldshoes. If you use a Sony camera with a flip up screen, it would be smart to invest in a cage. Otherwise you won't be able to flip up your screen. SmallRig makes great ones for a very reasonable price. The case is very nice and will fit in most camera bags. It holds everything in the mic kit. I haven't used the dead cat yet. However, due to its size, it seems intended to use OVER the foam wind screen. Deity has suggested accessories on their website and they include some 3rd party dead cats.Overall, this is a fantastic mic package at a great price. If it's ever under $200 it would be an absolute steal, but the regular price point is very fair. If you're in the market for a camera mic and this is one you've been considering, just do it.

Soddisfattissimo del prodotto. Ho usato per anni un videomic Røde e devo dire che questo è molto meglio. Nessun problema di compatibilità con una Canon R6, 50 ore di utilizzo una volta caricata la batteria, rotellina del gain regolabile, confezione robusta e pratica.

Das Micro ist eins meiner liebsten, allerdings verkauft der Verkäufer hier leider die alte Version, die sich nach 15 Minuten Standby komplett abschaltet. Deity hat das bereits Ende 2019 geändert. Wer nicht nonstop sein Audio kontrolliert sollte sich auf stumme Audio Kanäle einstellen. Sehr schade.

Das Produkt ist grundsätzlich sehr gut, allerdings kann ich keine bessere Bewertung abgeben, weil es nach relativ kurzer Zeit (nach ca. 4 Monaten) und nur sehr wenigen Einsätzen defekt war, vor allem aber, weil der Verkäufer einen extrem schlechten Service bietet. Nach ewigem hin und her hab ich eine Adresse bekommen an die ich das Gerät retournieren konnte und jetzt (nach ca. 3 Wochen) warte ich immer noch was passiert. Ich habe weder ein Ersatzgerät noch sonst einen Lösungsvorschlag bekommen, obwohl ich das Gerät dringend brauche.

Great sound quality, better than other expensive mics on amazon. Love the stepless gain knob, I can dial in the exact amount of gain that I need for each shot. During an interview, you don't need to wear a lav mic to get great sound. On time my recording environment had some noise, I set the low cut as 150 Hz to reduce the noise. For two weeks I used it without a need to change the settings. The battery life lasted over 27 hrs. The Ginisfoto is suitable for the D3 pro also. I tested it outdoor and got excellent sound as well.
