Hope you enjoy the mic! It's funny because I have such respect for both Sennheiser and Saramonic, but their mini mics just don't stand up to the Deity.
Appreciated your review. After 3 years, I've misplaced my Sennheiser MKE200 and will either replace it like for like or pick up the Deity D4 Mini. The Sennheiser, in real world use, is actually a really good little mic. The blimp design is clever, though I tended to leave the deadcat on all the time. The bigger MKE400 is better (I have 2 of those as my main powered on-camera mics), but I had good results with the MKE200. All of the ones that you reviewed have very short interference tubes, so their off-axis low frequency performance is inherently not great. This means having a real low roll off is a bit of a negative, actually. You want off axis lower frequencies like air movement, HVAC equipment, traffic rumble, etc. to not have any help and the directionality of a short shotgun doesn't exclude super well. You may have made a case for the Deity to me. Cheers.
I’m glad you found the review helpful. I totally agree about the off-axis performance. It’s a trade-off that comes with these mini shotguns. Thanks for your thoughtful reply, and for watching!
@@MatthewHaines hey,after consideration i 'd like choose saramonic sr-vm1, but i didn't find where to buy in china . although it's a china based company
@@pailaogou perhaps try contacting Saramonic through their website to ask where their products are sold. They appear to have a ‘chat’ option, but I can’t read Chinese.
This construction of the Sennheiser includes a popfilter. For my ears the Sennheiser sounded best but I admit it's a little on the thin side. That's probably why you think the louder mics sounded better what's not true! 🤔
Thanks for this video! Ordered the Deity D4 Mini last night - glad to know I chose well.

hey why your 1080P got better image quality than others
I don’t know! I shoot in 4K and then save in 1080P, but lots of people do that. 🤷♂️
