You need to ask more questions on mics. I did testing in my working life. B&K are leaders in sound but very expensive for a reason. So for a small youtuber ask questions. The mic sensor, what type, response, noise ratio. Etc. What's inside your mic. Do I need a DAC. Like plugging in to a computer. The sound cards are not much chop. Or is the dac in the mic.
Excellent information!. You can try with the Boya BY-MM1 Pro. They are two microphones in one, like the Deity that doesn't work for you, I use it with an Iphone 11 and it has turned out quite well, as long as you don't shake it much, because when you move it without a More or less abrupt the front microphone shows saturation. Greetings from Chile!
I have been looking at mic. The deity and rode. My advice would be rode videomic ntg. Because of why. Deity as more hours. But rode as a dac, digital / analog converter. Which is on all time. Now you can plug into your computer by usb and listern on 3.5 or plug into camera with detection of 3.5 input connection. Just turn it around on recording.
hey that's amazing voice recording from your clips,and what kind of mic u using on this clip? and anytime i'm soon be purchasing a iphone device for my vlogging and could you plz tell me how to set up with a external mic on it besides working with built-in camera app together?
I recorded this using the Movo VXR10-PRO shotgun mic, which I have a review of here: ruclips.net/video/Owk_0fKdLMU/видео.html It's super easy to just plug into the phone with the provided cable (I use a 3.5mm to Lightening adapter with my 12 Pro Max since it doesn't have a headphone jack) and film, no additional setup needed, really. The built-in camera app should automatically detect and switch to the connected mic, but you can always record and tap the mic to check. For the best audio quality I'd recommend having it within an arms length when possible. Recently I've been using the Movo PM10 lavalier mic for indoor videos to reduce the echo a bit. My newer studio setup is filming on the Nikon Z6ii and recording audio with the PM10 into my iPhone. I don't have a review of the PM10 currently but it has been working well. This video was filmed with the built-in camera app but more recently I've been using Beastcam, which offers more control, including setting the mic levels. When I'm recording audio only I record with the free Dolby On app. I used to process the audio in Dolby On as well but now I process it in Final Cut Pro, and that's where a lot of the magic really happens to get a good sound (reduce background static, bring the vocals or certain vocal tones up as needed, etc). Hope this helps :)
Very useful reminder to me! I was hoping this mic will be handy for me to shoot asmr room tour on my smartphone 😢 But I am lucky that I didnt "wasted" my money, becasue of you! So .. your money die like a hero🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Respect
Thanks a lot for the video, I almost purchase the Deity V-Mic D4 Duo, and like you I was going to use it with a smartphone in my case Android. I wanted to use the front mic to capture the ambien noise and then plug another mike to the other output in order to capture closer sound of what I'm filming, but men you save me the hassle of having to return it, and I'm having a nightmare right now trying to find a damm microphone that will work with an Android smartphone, either the Type C adapter doesnt work, or the microiphoen comes with a TRS cable and you need TRRS, by an another adapter from TRS to TRRS, fuck!!! I just want to get some good audio with my phone, its a battle men. Again thanks for the info!
Glad I could help! It’s definitely a struggle. You might checkout something from Movo, I’ve had good luck with a couple of their lav mics and their VXR-10 Pro shotgun mic that I reviewed here: [ruclips.net/video/Owk_0fKdLMU/видео.html](ruclips.net/video/Owk_0fKdLMU/видео.html) Movo have a mic similar to the Deity D4 Duo out now, the DoubleMic, which works with smartphones, although I haven’t tried it. Many of their mics are designed to work with cameras or smartphones and come with the correct cables for both! [www.movophoto.com/](www.movophoto.com/)
Hello, thanks to share your interesting video.But I don't understand well the difference between Deity D4 Mini and Duo? Which is better for normal use? Thanks
The Deity D4 Mini is a traditional shotgun microphone which will pick up sound primarily from in front of the microphone, whereas the D4 Duo is essentially two connected shotgun microphones with one facing forwards and one facing backwards. This allows you to pick up sounds from both sides of the camera at one. Which is best depends on your use case. If you frequently change sides of the camera or film someone while talking to the camera yourself the D4 Duo is best because you are capturing sound in front and behind at the same time and don't need to turn the mic around. With the Mini you can only record sound in one direction so if you change sides of the camera you'll need to turn the mic around, but you may want that better isolation of sound on the subject. I have not used the Mini but I would expect it to have better blocking of wind noise as well.
I replaced this with the Movo VXR10-PRO, which is a pretty standard shotgun mic that supports smartphones or cameras and has worked really well for me. Movo also now have the DoubleMic, which has a similar design to this but supports smartphones, but I haven't had a chance to try it out.
Buy a camera if you run a RUclips channel, IPhone is a great tool but not a pro level camera. This mic is for interviewing from a mirrorless camera. For a more pro level buy the D3 pro.
I had the exact same experience with this mic. I film everything for my channel outside and this mic has been completely useless. I immediately had to stop using it and am now thinking about ordering a different mic. Did you happen to come up with a solution to the wind noise?
I will say I'm not really an expert on mics, but no, unfortunately I didn't see any way to solve the wind noise. It was so much worse than I expected too, the slightest breeze would ruin the audio. I ended up returning this and purchasing the Movo VXR-10 PRO (ruclips.net/video/Owk_0fKdLMU/видео.html). It has pretty solid wind rejection and still gets some ambient sounds, plus it was a lot cheaper, so something like that is a good option if you only need to record one direction at a time. The downside for me is having to turn it around, but I usually mount it on a little ball head which makes that a bit easier.
I'm sorry you felt that way. Thanks for watching anyway! Here's why I made this video if you're curious: In this day and age many people film on their phones for RUclips and social media so I wanted to warn anyone looking to do so that this mic doesn't support phones since, at the time of filming at least, that was not spelled out in the listing. Several people have commented that they appreciated this warning. Beyond that there are still major issues when filming in any amount of wind, which lead me to return the mic instead of even saving it for when I got a "proper camera". In my mind one of these is an important thing to know and share to prevent others from accidentally purchasing this who can't use it and the other is a critical flaw with the mic itself. I'm not only going to review products I like on this channel, although that's pretty common on RUclips. All my reviews are my honest opinion, and I'm a bit of a design nerd and can be hard to impress, so if I see something that needs improvement I'm going to call that out.

I'll check in to it, thanks for the tip!
my experience with the Boya is the dead cat works reeeally well. But without it, really sensitive to breeze.
Thanks for the heads up I was specifically looking for outdoors mic and considering this one
Thanks for this vid Emmett
Glad I watch this thankyou

@@EmmettBudd Thanks alot Emmet! I will keep searching and see if I find the mic that suits me the most. Again Thank you.

iPhones record only mono from external mics. That's the Apple's problem, not the mics' one.
What did you find to replace it?
I replaced this with the Movo VXR10-PRO, which is a pretty standard shotgun mic that supports smartphones or cameras and has worked really well for me. Movo also now have the DoubleMic, which has a similar design to this but supports smartphones, but I haven't had a chance to try it out.

Can’t get this mic to work with my IPhone at all.
Thanks Emmett... totally agree with your synopsis mate! Disappointing... it showed so much promise.
It is disappointing, I love the concept and really hope we see an improved version in the future! Thanks for watching!
so you spent big bucks for a high quality camera......$50-80.... and you weren't happy with the results?
Whiney. Not worth the watch. This was your fault. A blogger uses a proper camera.
I'm sorry you felt that way. Thanks for watching anyway!
Here's why I made this video if you're curious:
