Im a sucker for a nice storage case.
Dang Skippy. Love em
I bought one of these and it sounds great, and that’s up against my Movo VRX 10 Pro. I use it for my guitar amp.
It’s really good for what it is. I still use mine too
I just bought a second one which will be mounted on a second boom stand for my Marshall guitar amps speaker cabinets. Will experiment with Y cables to feed both speaker cabs into my camera input jack for a fuller sound. Or have 2 voice mics so as I move around my voice is picked up both locations for balance.
Truly crazy deal for $20
100% - it sounds good enough to be a carry bag mic
@meistudiony is correct. It's NOT a shotgun. Also, I notice a dimmed top octave and some serious clipping. Not a great sound, but for an alternative to an in-camera mic, it might be OK, especially at $20.
Edit: I just looked at the picture of it on Amazon. Could this thing have been built into a case originally intended for an LED flashlight?
Lol.... It does look like a flashlight!
Yeah this thing is not a shotgun, and I would be surprised if it's actually a condenser because there's no power going to it. I can't get it to work with my Galaxy S23 ultra and pretty much everything works with this phone.
I was thinking that same thing about the flashlight by the way, it totally looks like a flashlight that was milled into a microphone after the fact.
Such a deal! I actually have a project that will benefit from having a couple of these - thanks, Bark!
Thank YOU Bill
It didn't sound bad anywhere and FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE it sounded better than the phone! 😂
Just for fun you should use it for a lav on a wireless setup interview style. 😉
I feel like I got ripped off with a similar (pretty much exact) mic by buying the Movo set for $40.
I honestly have had ZERO luck with movo products
@@ObscureMics the VRX10-"Pro" actually works pretty well for traveling, isolating the sound a little better than my Zoom Hn1's built-in mic. But I'm sure the majority of the guts are the same as what's found in the Syntech. Handy little tools for recording on the fly. Yet another great meat & potatoes review, without all the extra bullsh!t the rest of us don't care about. Thanks, man!
Thank you!@@vanceshepherd1618
For $20? Heck, the accessories are worth most, if not all of that budget. The mic itself isn't groundbreaking or sounding great, it is sometimes even clipping. But it is definitely servicable sound, and I believe for someone starting out RUclips/vlogging or streaming it is definitely enough, most people wouldn't mind listening to this.
Yeah the clipping parts were strange because my level readout was - 15db consistently... But I kept hearing that clipping or almost over saturation here and there. Just rolled with it
@@ObscureMics I think it may be too low max SPL of the microphone, and it just can't stand the pressure of the wave you are sending into it, I think Dracomies had similar thing in one of his Rode 3.5mm microphones, where it was clipping while still being far from 0dB.
For a lot this would be a good zoom, teams and meet etc. mic. I have been in so many video conf' calls with people who had crappy mics and they could purchase a cheapy like this and be heard lol.
Thats it!
Super affordable at only $20. A decent xlr cable will cost you more. Defintley worth it.
Yep. And I needed a trs to trrs cable for a deity mic I have.... And didn't wanna pay $10 for it... Now I don't have to
How would this mic do for catching the engine sound of a chainsaw for my YT videos?
Well I believe. It has nice low end pickup AND high end pick up.
Super Cool Mic and that thing looks tiny, thats what she said.
That is indeed what she said lol
I don't want to like how good this one sounds!
Side question, I'm thinking of modding a mic for the first time and I'm wondering if you have a recommendation for where to source a good affordable k67 style 34mm microphone capsule?
Id roll with this
advancedaudio.ca/products/ak67-capsule
hey Obscure Mics Could you do a review of the tonor t90 boom arm it's really cool
I requested it from them, but they wanted to send me a cheap basic one instead.
If they send it to me I will get a review up ASAP - but I am not sure that they will
Well I'll be damned. I'll add this to my Sony ZV-1 setup and keep the Rode VideoMic Go II with my ZV-E10. $20 steal
Absolutely is
My ears are going bad. I cannot hear the sound difference. Am I normal or do you really have to pay very close attention to distinguish this mic with other microphone?
using headphones?
Can't get it to work with an S23 ultra
You wouldn't want it to anyways. The USB c port provides too much power and it clips. Works well with a headphone jack...but not USB c
How far was this from your mouth in studio? I’ve had the neewer cm14 for a bit and was throroughly impressed for the $16 I got it for. Bundled with extras too! Just seeing this sub $20 makes me want to get it but don’t need it. Ughhh lol. I have a rule, a dumb one, where if there is tech (decent tech) under $20 I’ll pull the trigger. These probably rock the same capsule right?
Great review yet again!! Arf-arf!! #wearethebarkians
Probably 4 to 5 inches.
Lol oh man... Barkians is catching on... With 1 person LOL
@@ObscureMics “probably 4 to 5 inches..” That’s what she said.
@lx130 was waiting on that lol
Such an oxymoron… for a mic to truly be a shotgun mic it needs to have an i interference tube long enough to cancel out frequencies. Gotta love how marketing for these companies just spout any kinda buzz words to make their product more palatable. Just outright lies. Just call it a camera mic and call it a day and people will still buy it and you wont be bs’ing people.
But..... But... It's a mini!
It's average... I'd say large even 😢@@ObscureMics
It's even better when you get people that should know something about microphones calling them shotguns anyway.
@@ObscureMics the “you” was aimed at syntech not you 😉
Zero worries either way
