How did you like these microphones? #comica - Хобби
Wow. Comica ups their game even more. I have the Comica Boomx D2 wireless setup, that works amazing. Now they come out with this ? These are really impressive. Proper audio is so important in creating good videos. Too often you see RUclipsrs videos that look great but you can't hear them talking. I stop watching those videos in 10 seconds or less. These wireless microphones are amazing, and you can walk 100 yards from the camera and still be heard perfectly. A must have for anyone that wants to create on RUclips or anywhere else. Great video tutorial Zdenka ! 🥰
Thank you very much. Yes, you are right… good audio is super important. Thanks, Freddie 😉
Very impressed by the noise cancellation feature for the smartphone version.
I must say these were my thoughts as well
Very detailed review! Loved it.
Thank you for your support
Beautiful presentation
Thank you very much
As always again great informative video ❤️
Thank you very much for your support
Thank you so much for this vid. I'm currently looking for a smart phone mic system.
You are very welcome
I got mine today…they sound great!
Thank you very much for sharing
I so wish they would make the stem that plugs into the phone long enough to reach through all cases. That's the one thing that keeps me from getting the S-MI. Thanks for all the great info you provide to the community.
I agree with you
I've been running comica microphones for a year. Definitely best bang for my buck. The lavalier mics are as good as anything out there. The sound is great.
Thank you very much for sharing. I’m glad to hear that you’re enjoying this brand as well.
I returned my Hollyland Lark M1 when I saw the Vimo C released and watched some glowing reviews. I use mine primarily with my Insta360 X3 and had to mount the receiver upside down. Your review is the first I saw that mentioned the screen flip feature. It is just what I needed and just having a display is a huge plus compared to the Lark M1.
Thank you very much for sharing
I plan to the same , to connect it with insta 360 x3 . How is it working ? Please share . Thanks
@@jasssumit3822 It works great! I mainly use it with my X3 mounted on my e-bike when trail riding. Your main issue will be mounting the receiver on your camera. I 3-D printed a small bracket and it works well. Good luck!
@@someguyinflorida Thanks a lot ! 👍😊
Very informative! Thank you!
You are very welcome
Very cool, thank you for the video!!
You are very welcome
As always thanks for your informative videos. I'm glad that you mentioned about the Moment case issue. That one would be a non-starter for me. However, the other system looks/sounds good. The only improvement of your review would be if you did an audio sample with the wind screens on the microphones for us to hear how effective they are at reducing the wind noise that we could still hear even with the denoise function turned on.
Good point. I just saved your comment and I will create a short video to test the microphone in the wind. 👍😉 thank you.
This kit looks awesome Zdenka!! Thank you so much for showing us. Up till now I had the saramonic dual wireless microphone kit that I used with my M50. Works pretty good for the most part. I also have a Panasonic fz300 bridge camera and unfortunately even at the lowest microphone gain on the camera no matter what microphone I try it is super hot. I am hoping with this set since it has adjustable gain that I will be able to get the volume I am looking for. I noticed there is a C1 and a c3 model. I'm guessing the C1 is single microphone and the c3 is the dual microphone version. If you can confirm all of this that would be wonderful. Love your channel and your demeanor. Keep up the fantastic work!
Thank you very much for sharing I thoughts. Yes, you are absolutely right. those are just set ups able to get. Wishing you all the best.
Amazing the engineering but such a great company wireless mic really cool 👍
I’m glad you like the product. I use their microphones and I’m quite happy with them.
I picked it up and like it. Glad I watched this video.. Thank you. 😊
You are very welcome
Woah nice mics. Probably will try the C for cameras
Thank you very much for sharing.. yes, these are great
I have just bought it from your link :)
Thank you very much for your support
Perfect timing. I was looking for a mic for iPhone. You can show the sponsor this comment - purchased!
Thank you very much for sharing. I hope you’ll be happy.
Thank you!
You are very welcome
🌷🌷Many thanks. Good work. 🌷🌷
Thank you very much for your support
Thank you!!!
You are very welcome
Looks like a great product for the price. I wish the transmitters also had inputs for lavaliers.
Yes I agree
Hi, both are amazing. Just purely in terms of audio quality, which one did you like more? Thanks.
Honestly, I don’t see a difference in the audio quality. To me, it sounds the same.
@@ZdenkaDarula Aah, that's good to know! Wow Vimo S- tiny powerhouse. Thanks for replying. 😀
So, vimo c3 not better than S ?!!!
Very useful mam🎊🎉🥰
Thank you very much for your support
Success for you
Thank you for your support
sand down the case on the side where the receiver is plugged in or slightly enlarge the opening on the usb-c or lightning
Thank you for the tip
i was thinking of getting boya...but dang this sounds great
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I use their microphones for many years and I’m pretty happy with them.
Just scored the C for less than $100. Sounds great. Ordered a trs/usbc cable to eliminate a connection and make handling easier. Def really good audio quality. Way better than those little phone jobbies everyone is touting. They just don’t sound good. The C mic set up I have from these guys sounds really good. A little wonky handling it w iPhone 15PM, but I will figure something out. Was a no brainer for less than a hundo.
Yes that is a great deal… good for you. I agree the sound is great from these … enjoy!
Hi Zdenka, I'm new here and first found you through your Comica VM20 review video and I bought myself a VM20 after doing my research. I have been very impressed with the VM20 on my Panasonic Lumx camera and now thought about picking up a wireless microphone system. I had almost decided to go with a Comica BoomX D2 after seeing your review video but now I see the Comica C3 system seems to be the newer, updated and higher specification system than the BoomX D2 yet the C3 seems to be available at a considerably cheaper price than the BoomX D2. From your experience with each would you say the newer C3 system is an improvement in most or all ways over the BoomX D2? Thanks for your time and great videos.
Thank you for leaving a comment. I honestly think that the new system is a good. I actually like that it is so small I can clip it on me and I don’t have to use wires anymore.
Based on sound quality for mobile , which better V or S ?
I just bought the vdlive10 😂 from comica and this new one comes out 😮
It happens all the time there a new products lunched every single week
@@ZdenkaDarula yeah it’s okay I’m happy with my purchase but it’s crazy lmao 🤣 I wasn’t expecting this at all
Great job ❤️ nice video ❤️ good work 🌹 my dear friend ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you very much for your support
Ooooh... I just bought the Lark M1 in January. It's okay but I would've loved if it also had a monitoring capability like this one... hmmmmm... thanks Zdenka! :)
You are very welcome
I m using comica cardioid xlr mic with zoom h5n. This brand surprized me witth its quality so much that I stopped using my shure mx 183 xlr mic.
Thank you very much for sharing. Yes I like this brand as well.
It might be a good idea to tell people that in some cases it's a good idea to go into your camera settings and turn off the stereo recording setting for the phones mics while using external mics. That's why some people get a low recording level for the first 20 to 30 seconds of recording. It definitely happens on the iphone 12 as my brother has just purchased a set of Vimo S-MI and we had this issue. Once the camera's stereo setting was turned off the mic's worked perfectly. Just remember to turn it back on if you are using just the onboard mic's of the iphone itself.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Nice
Thank you very much for your support
CHULA DE BONITA!!! THANX FOR YOUR VIDEOS ☺
You are very welcome
@@ZdenkaDarula and you are a very pretty woman, with all my respect……greetings!!
Hi Zdenka. I would like to suggest a topic for a future video that you might like to consider - earphone plugs. My reasoning behind this is that over many years I have accumulated a box full of earphone cables supplied by mobile phone manufacturers, camera manufacturers to mention but two. The Vimo S-M1 is supplied with a 2 in 1 Adapter cable with one leg accepting an earphone plug although there is no mention in the supplied manual of the type of plug this adapter accepts. Is it a TRS, TRRS, TRRRS, 2.5mm or 3.5mm. The temptation of course is to experiment and see which fits. However, getting the size is the easy part as 3.5mm won’t fit into a 2.5mm receptacle but using the wrong type can cause permanent damage by way of short circuit to any receiver so is to be avoided. Whilst you are considering my suggestion for this topic 😂 you might in the interim time be able to tell me what size and type of earphone plug does the S-M1 Adapter Cable accept. Thanks.
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and suggestion. I honestly don’t know the answer
I'm so happy that beautiful women like yourself are doing videos I subscribed to your channel it's really refreshing seeing someone into what I like thank you again for your great video 🌞👍👍👍❤️
You are very welcome and thank you very much for your support
So my main question would be what do you recommend if I'm filming at a convention or at a public event or a theme park what setting would be best
Just with noise cancelling feature on if you hear sounds
Hi Z :) Thanks. Hope all's well. Would the lightning one work with an USB C adapter on future iPhones? The links you included don't take us to a page with the specific products.
That is a very good question. They have USB-C microphone as well. the links are correct. I just checked however their inventory has not been added yet.
Here's a question. In regards to the Comica Vimo S and connecting headphones for monitoring, can you monitor if you have Bluetooth headphones connected?
Yes, you can absolutely monitor
WoW
Thank you for your support
Great review will the vimo s mi work with ipad?
I am not sure, but I think it should
Hi Zdenka, do you know if these are compatible with stage loudspeakers which you can plug 6.5 jack in ? (with an appropriate adapter)
Sorry I don’t know
I am literally on my third microphone. I am a new RUclipsr and I am learning everything as go along. I am hoping this is easy for me to use and works well with my iPhone.
It is easy.. just plug in and don’t change any settings… I never do. Wishing you all the best
@@ZdenkaDarula Thank you, this video was an amazing help to me.
@@kayleneaktuell you are very welcome
Hi Zdenka ! Im gonna start a new youtube channel soon and i am thinking to buy a wireless microphone. I would use for recording an Iphone. Can you recommend to me a reliable wireless microphone? Max budget 200$. Which one in your opinion is the best ? Thank you.
I don’t know much about other brands.. these ones in the video are the once I use and are great
Am I correct in thinking that if I purchase the iPhone model with Lightening connection for my iPhone 13 Pro then when I upgrade to the 15(?) iPhone in 2024 this device will be redundant due to the 15 more than likely having a USB-C connection?
You are absolutely right if that is what it’s going to happen
I would like to have known if the wind muff is secure when fitted, I have other mics where they fall off.
It holds well but I haven’t tried it on a windy day yet
Great video, does the comica work fine with android? Thanks
Yes it works well with the phones I have. Depending on what android you have I would email them and double checked
Thanks. Excellent. I need to find out compatibility with a Pixel 7a. Also, can I use the USB-C port for one of these wireless receivers, plus power, plus extra memory storage, such as a SSD 1TB, and mount the lot on one of those gimbals you like. If you cover this is your course, let me know and I'll sign up.
Unfortunately as I don’t have that phone I won’t be able to answer it. It is best to contact Comica directly
@@ZdenkaDarula Thank you. I will.
I like everything about the iPhone set up except for the fact that I cannot use it with my moment case which is an intricate part of my whole set up. They should have thought about adding an adapter to make it work.
There is an adaptor you can get on Amazon. I am showing it in this video: ruclips.net/video/mQjaBj7LeY0/видео.html and the link to that product is bellow that video
Can you please advice me what wireless mic to buy for Insta 360 x3??? Thanks!!
I unfortunately have not tested anything with a Insta360 so I don’t know
Very nice features. Wondering how this might pair with the Insta360 X3. Thanks for the video.
I’m wondering the same. I’ll try it out.
@@ZdenkaDarula Thank you. Loving the fact that you are in Ontario!
@@bmtdoc oh good.. I assume you are from Ontario as well
@@ZdenkaDarula I note from another YT video that the VIMO clip is designed to slide into a cold shoe. Since the VIMO C appears to be thinner than the X3, the VIMO should be invisible when mounted. The supplied cables may be a bit too dangly, but that's just a guess. Looking forward to seeing what your experience is.
Hello Zdenka, hello from Moravia. Please does Comica VIMO S work even with DJI Mimo on? I would like to know if I can use the face trekking and great sound at the same time. Thank you
Hello… Mnoho pozdravu do České republiky. Všechno bude záležet na typu telefonu. Já mám iPhone 14 pro a ten fungoval… bohužel nemůžu potvrdit s ostatními modely
@@ZdenkaDarula Už jsem koupil a funguje. I s modelem iPhone 14 pro Max ;-)
smaller ones - they are so 'fit for purpose' (compact shooting) - the bigger ones have much more competition when it comes to 'camera mount'
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts
Hi and thx for the Review .. I came across the issue that as soon as i put one mic on say vol 3 and the other one on 1 .. The Level 1 mic sounds like it is far away .. if i leave both on 1 its fine .. Any idea ? Thank you :)
Unfortunately I am not sure what this causes.. I would contact their tech support
@@ZdenkaDarula OK Thank you :)
How about comparing video with DJI mic?
that would be amazing if I had access to it … it is a bit too pricey and DJI doesn’t send any samples
How do you use the all-in-one setup with a smartphone?
Not sure exactly what you are asking
Hi, Zdenka and thank you for sharing! I was wondering if there's any extra step I'm missing, because I can't seem to make mine work on my iPad. I sue a uGreen 3.5 to usbc connector but it doesn't seem to record from the vimo mics. I use it on my a7c without any issues using the 3.5mm connector provided in the package. Any ideas why it's not working? Thanks!
Unfortunately, I don’t know the answer. it would be best to contact their technical support
@@ZdenkaDarula Thank you for the quick reply. I'll contact them!
Ok so I’m new to all this. I’m currently just recording from my iPhone. I bought this comica Vimo s. So basically I just need the clip on microphone to be green? I’m sorry I’m new to all this. I literally just bought my tripod yesterday & just got this microphone. Will someone explain to me if I’m doing this correctly? Having my clip on mic green? Is that it? I have the thing plugged into my phone & yes I had to pull my case off as well. There is one blue light on it. And one green light on the microphone connected onto my shirt. Is this right? Someone please respond back. I’m not good with electronics at all
Yes, you will just plug it in and that should be all. There is a tiny manual which came with the microphone, so I highly suggest taking your time and read it through.
Thank you for your very informative videos. I bought the vimo S MI and have tried to connect it to my iPhone 12. Is there a protocol for first use? My Vimo is fully charged but my phone doesn’t want to accept the mic. When I go into my settings on my phone mic there does not seem to be an obvious enable option. Can you help me?
That is very strange. It should work right away. Please try to contact their technical support to make sure that there is no issue with microphone.
@@ZdenkaDarula thanks
Will this mic work with the smallrig? I have the smallest rig for iphone13 promax.
It could, but you might want to buy extension for the port. It might not be long enough to fit through the smallrig. I’ll show it soon in upcoming video
I have 2 android phones, I connect to them
one doesn't work at all, one works with recording app only, but doesn't work with video app, what should i do?
Please contact customer support to see what the issue might be.. I am not able to answer this sorry
in the video app select: more than: proffesional video, than: usb, than: front.
❤
Thank you very much for your support
Hi I would like to buy but it’s so expensive. Is there a discount code available ??
Sorry, I was not given any discount codes
I have a google pixel phone and I can't find info as to whether the Vimo-c is compatible. Any help? Thanx!
Unfortunately, that is some thing I don’t know. It is best to ask them directly.
@@ZdenkaDarula Happy to report that I got my info from Amazon. Thanks. I'd also like to tell you that I am eating up your lessons and of all that , the suggestion to learn one thing at a time matters bigtime. I like to run before I can walk and that just won't wash with this whole complicated process. Thanks for your mentoring!
Is there a record button in Vimo S?
No there is no record button
Whats the difference with between mi and uc?
One is for apple, and the other one is for android
Is there any sound difference between C and S line?
I did not notice a difference
Anyone know if s-mi fits into freewell sherpa case or not cheers
No it doesn’t… unfortunately
Thank you much appreciated
How does it transmit or record with a camera?
Great… the quality is good. You just attach it to your camera and done
Hi how long ??? i'm back 😊 vietnam
Thank you very much for your support
Does it works with drones?
I’m afraid not
Hi my dear friend ❤️
Hello back
Dobrý den, odkud jste, jestli se můžu se zeptat? 🙂
Dobrý den. Narodila jsem se v České republice ale už bydlím 26 let v kanadě
Will it work with the Hohem Isteady M6?
You could use it I’m just not sure what you mean. If it’s going to work with it is more about if it’s going to work with your smart phone.…
I meant will it physically fit with the receiver in the lighting port. I feel like with the iPhone 14 I am already balanced as far to the right as i can be without it.
Iphone 14 Pro max
How you connect Vimo C to IPhone?
You need to get an adapter
@@ZdenkaDarula It doesn’t work even with an adapter. Do you need to turn on somehow or just plug in?
I just bought DJI Mic and now i cant return it back
I’m sorry to hear that over that one is a very good microphone as well
the iPhone setup has a better sound quality.
Only if you have it close to your mouth and no wind is around. It’s actually pretty bad outdoors if it is a bit windy.
:)
Thank you very much for your support
The "S" would be the perfect mic if it accommodated a phone case. I'll have to pass. Not worth risking my phone.
There is actually an extension which I purchased so now it works with all the cases. It is shown in this video: ruclips.net/video/CtmkatKynvI/видео.html I think I linked the product below that video as well
@@ZdenkaDarula Didn't see al link, but I think I can find it. Thanks again.
Ahoi. 🙋♀ I just saw these on the German RUclipsr @TECHSOME. Great pieces. They're on my Amazon wish list. 🙂
Thank you very much for sharing. They are very impressive.
