I love the fact that you're giving us all the necessary information in short videos!
I'm glad the videos are helpful : )
@FulaanCreative I am glad
Great review sir! Appreciate the level of detail!
Thanks!
Excellent review! Thank you so much for all of the information.
Glad it was helpful!
I love the Comica VM30. I am amazed by its sound quality. Regarding the idea of putting a recorder inside the mic itself, I would wonder if such a thing might interfere with the performance of a shotgun mic.
Awesome mic for sure. I think they could add a back up recording to the mic with out messing it up. Might add a little bulk though.
Hi there, thank you for the review! I was wondering if the 24bit sampling of the microphone is referred to its maximum capability or it actually has some internal pre-amps that give you 24bits no matter what. I'm asking because I would pair it with a Lumix S1H which has only 16bit audio recording internally, so if this gives you 24bit with preamps it would be a total game changer. Cheers!
Hello. thanks for watching and commenting. Honestly I really don't know much about that. I'll have to research a little. Peace.
Thanks for a good review, I've been looking at this and it looks impressive. Question: would there be any reason not to use this with a 32-bit float recorder?
Thanks! No reason not to use it with a 32-bit float recorder.
Awesome video man. Liked and subbed!
Thanks!
off topic but i need help regarding one of your previous videos
im thinking of buying a canon r50 but i need your opinion on this. I got a canon 700D with crop mood installed, having a blast using it and learning about color grading with davinci resolve, now my problem is the lack of autofocus when using crop mood, yeah its a great cheap camera if you have it on a tripod and focus the scene you want and leave it like that but for handheld street filming i really wanted the autofocus and some sort of stabilization , also how is the color grading on the r50 compared to the 14bit raw from crop mood? can you push the colors a fair bit without getting the quality ruined? in your opinion is it worth the upgrade? currently costs 780€ with the Rfs 18-45 is Stm kit lens.
thank you for all the work you put on your content to help us
I would imagine you can't push the colors the way you can with those 14 bit raw files but If you need AF you need AF. The R50 has HDR PQ which is 10bit which is enough for a decent bit of grading. Ideally you would want C-log but then you are getting into a higher price bracket.
@@FulaanCreative thanks for the reply, im going to find some friend that has a r50 and let me try it out, see what i can do on davinci and see if its worth the upgrade 👍
This video was righhhhttt onnnn timmeee. Thank you man! I was about to order a Rode Wireless Pro system kit, not only was it way more than I was trying to spend right now but its also on backorder and I’ve got product review videos I need to start recording ASAP not later in November or December so not only is this the price amazing but it comes Monday and there were 3 left! Mann, I’m ecstatic 😆. I always respect your judgement on reviews, looking forward to more videos in the future! Enjoy 😁
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching and commenting.
How are you liking this mic?
@@jedthei6099 its very vlean, clear, can be used for a few different setups, and I’d buy and recommend time and time again. Im a high quality production person and this mic granted me that. I would’ve went with the Rode Wireless Pro system without question but at the time they were on back order. Im happy I saved some money and got a great system for now, easy to use straight out the box. Not many videos out when I got it to help me figure out how I should set gain and what not but you can look up videos explaining concepts and try things out for yourself. I’m currently at a gain of 4 for studio style yt videos. Sounds great even when you’re talking low but not to where you’re sounding like your on top of the mic but rather in front of it.
Thank you for making these.
: )
@@FulaanCreative what’s up brother.? Do you prefer the Comica or the Rode 2?
Hey bro!! I had a question. Do you shoot raw images with your canon m50? If so how do you import the raw media into Davinci? I’ve been struggling for the past 2 weeks with this problem. Should I change it to jpeg? Please make a video on this.
You need to import import them into lightroom or luminar neo. Resolve is for video
A little late to this but darktable is the photo editor I use, it's free and has everything I've needed so far.
Yo i got a question. Ive been seeing youtube videos saying that dont use shotgun mics indoors and stuff what are your thoughts? And how do you set up your shotgun mics while recording specially with the sgc 600 since the wire is short.
Some people recommend pencil condenser mics indoors over shotguns. They may in fact get less room reverb etc but they are quite expensive and also are mostly xlr so it'l require a whole setup which is too much trouble for me. If you learn how to sweep frequencies in your EQ you can reduce room reverb alot. If it's still too much you can hang some blankets to dampen the sound. For the wire length I bought a 10m 3.5mm extension from amazon a few years ago. Works great
@@FulaanCreative thank you so much for taking the time to answer!
maybe and hopefully you can make videos how you make your videos with the different mic that you are using. anyway. great content man and thanks for answering!
Nice audio already on your channel!!😊
Thanks!
I like the rapp. Question. Would this do well from about 5 or 6 feet away?
Not so much. Sounds best about a foot away
Great review! Have you used the Zoom M3 as well?
Unfortunately I haven't.
Do u have a video that shows your EQ and Compression settings??
Idk if I'm saying that right, I'm really new to this whole audio thing 😅
I don't but hopefully I can make on in the near future.
@@FulaanCreative Looking forward to this one, any updates on whether you'll do it?
I need backup audio when doing wireless so add recording to this badboy and it will be perfect. Does not even have to be a 32bit float recording
You could plug it into a tascam Dr10L and have a nice wireless mic/recorder setup.
How do these compare to microphones like zoom h2n, h4n or tascams, if you have any experience? Looking to make sound therapy videos with a good cam & mic. Thanks
So those you mentioned are recorders not mics. You need a mic to pair with those. Sound is a complicated subject because each scenario is different and will require different tools. Regardless of what you go with the main rule is the closer you can get the mic to the sound source the better. 1 foot would be ideal for most mics
@@FulaanCreative Ahh thanks for clearing that up. My partner has a sennheizer e835 that she does gigs with her speaker but not sure if that's good enough or the same category. I am looking for something to capture the nature & background sounds around me while also recording my instruments like didgeridoo ect...
Can you review and compare Zoom M3 compare to this, it is shotgun and also a MS stereo mkc that you can adjust the stereo coverage!
And also 32 bits internal recording, better than the wireless feature, but I want to know about the audio quality!
Thanks for the suggestion. Would love to do a review if I get my hands on one. Let's see what the future holds : )
hey man, do you know whats the difference between VM20 and the VM30?
If I remember correctly the vm-20 isn't wireless. I might be wrong though.
I ordered the takstar sgc 600 and use it with my zv e10 sadly it sounds terrible there is sooo much noise that when i try to get rid of it tampers with my voice too much. Any tips?
Sorry to hear that. I would make sure the settings on the camera are set properly especially making sure your in the green and yellow at max avoiding the red. Unless the mic is faulty it should sound great. Not sure what is going on.
I did that:( i have tried everything like the different volume levels in camera, low pass on/off, and also a recommendation from a youtube video setting the camera gain low and the mic switch to +10db. Last step definitely reduced noise by a ton but it’s still present and tampers with my voice :( guess i fot unlucky…
wich one are you using in the explanation at the beginning^
Vm30
How would you say this compares to the Rode Videomic pro plus?
I haven't had a chance to play with that yet but the wireless function makes it stand out from all other shotgun mics currently available.
@@FulaanCreative Thank you Fulaan. After watching this video I checked out some other reviews and decided to go ahead and purchase this mic. I was looking at the Rode VMP+ for so long but never wanted to buy it because I was too unsure for a $300 price tag. This mic you presented seems to be just as good, if not better than that mic. The fact that it's wireless and charges with USB c makes it much more appealing. Appreciate you for showcasing this obscure piece of gear!
I got mine a few weeks ago and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get rid of the white noise in the background. I already adjusted the volume on my camera (I have the m50 mk ii) but it's still really noticeable. Any suggestions?
Try reducing the volume on the each component as to isolate the issue. You would need to try the Camera itself which you already did, then the volume on the mic and lastly the volume on the receiver
@@FulaanCreative ok I tried every individual thing and it's still there. On top of the white noise there's a weird crackling sound that's somewhat noticeable when I'm talking, but very noticeable when there's no talking or noise. This is tough but I know it'll be fine eventually haha
@@4eyedvgn Try the mic on your phone and see if it's the same or try a different mic on the camera to see if it's the camera. If the mic is defective I'd return it if possible.
@@FulaanCreative It sounded fine on my phone, which was surprising. I plugged it back into my camera and it actually sounds so much better and I have no idea what happened lmaooo
I found an app to remove the last of the noise, so i'm pretty sure that's all the problems for now haha. Thanks a ton for the help!
Spittin bars
: )
How bad is the autofocusing noise with this mic if pairing with the sigma 18-35
If the mic will sit on the camera it will most definitely pick up the noise from the 18-35 as would any mic. If it's boomed away from the camera then you should be good to go.
Sigma usually has a sound off toggle on the lense to avoid this sound when recording video
Do you think it is better than the takstar sgc600?
It sounds a little better to me and it is able to be used wirelessly so to me it's better but I still love my Takstar too though.
excellent monologue 👏
: )
Can you Link the mini tripods @ 5:52 ?
I don't remember where I got it. If you do a search on Amazon for mini phone tripod it might come up
I think most music and audio people would probably agree that you reeeally don't need 32 bit depth. That extra detail in the low amplitude sounds is really only useful for highly processed uses. I don't think there's a perceivable difference between 16 bit 24 bit or 32 bit when listening without any processing. Like if you wanna record better audio, there are so many things that have a higher impact than 16 or 24 vs 32 bit depth.
I agree. When mentioning 32 bit float I was mainly talking about the aspect that you don't have to worry about setting recording levels or clipping etc. Quality wise 24bit is more than enough.
Thank you for the video. This is really helpful. I am your new subscriber.
Welcome and thanks for subbing. Peace.
@@FulaanCreative thanks mate. I am torn between buying the comica vm30 and the audio technica AT875R. I need something that has xlr connection. I do live streaming and I have atem mini pro and Zoom L20 mixer. You have done a good point in comica and I love the versatility. You can do run and gun and use it as studio mic as well.
Man I love your stuff and your style. I only wish you had put this up against the sennheiser for real since you sort of name dropped it in the video.
Thanks! I'll might have to do that once I get my hands on the sennheiser
Fulaan, My Maaaaaan!! 💯😄
What's up man? It's been a hot minute. Hope things are good with you.
I been working on my audio. External Recorders and all. I got the Zoom H1N and h8. These mics advance quicker than I can buy them 😝 I buy one, then I'm late again. New one comes out and now it's time for the next latest and greatest. 😄 I want them alll 😩 Great to see You, Twin. Much Love and Respect! 🙏😎
Your videos are amazing. I've seen you before but subscribed this time so I don't lose the channel again.
Awesome! Thank you!
Please compare to dpa mic
If I get that mic in may hands I'll try and do a vid.
Yeaahhhh! More poetry please!
Glad you liked it. I'll be doing more poetry in future videos : )
Dude from the side you look like Joe Rogan with a beard. Not an insult just an observation! I have the Comica VM20 is the VM30 just the same mic but wireless?
Yes i think it's a vm20 w/ wireless capability : )
@@FulaanCreative So if I used a VM20 with a Comica BoomXD Pro receiver and mic to plug the VM20 into. Would that make in theory the VM20 basically a wireless setup?
@@FulaanCreativethe reason I ask is that I'm all about saving money on equipment and if you already own these items you could possibly get a wireless setup without blowing the extra dollar/ pounds in my case on extra equipment.
Lots of reverb effects the quality
yes, the room is an untreated space w/ lots of echo so take that in consideration
👍
Thanks!
The sound quality is not the same as rode shotgun. Rode shotgun is expensive and better choice
Possibly. I haven't tried it so can't say.

Plan 17 : Buy shotgun mic
I gut a Question sir, i have a vlogging channel it's small but i use the Sony ZV-E10 (you recommend one of your videos) and i love it not gonna lie, but it only records 30fps on 4k, gets hot sometimes (in hot environment) and coloring with it is harder than sony zv-1
So many websites said Sony ZV-E10 (which i have) and other cameras that many people don't recommend
What are the best Vlogging cameras under $2600? In your opinion??? (((YOUR OPINION IS IMPORTANT DON'T SED ME LINK TO WEBSITES)))
🙃please
Hands down the best value camera right now is the lumix S5 II
