I like the overall design of the Movo WMX-2 Duo wireless mic system, and the build quality of the receiver and transmitter units is solid. However, when you bring in the DJI Mic, the overall design is like comparing a Hyundai to a Mercedes. Hyundai makes great cars, but they’re not a Mercedes. But give me a dependable Hyundai any day because it’s going to get the job done consistently with little to no fuss, and I love that. However, both the Rode Wireless Go II and DJI Mic come with built-in storage and can record pro-level audio on their own. Movo WMX-2 Duo setup and controls

And say goodbye to disappointing sound. This universal video shotgun microphone significantly improves your audio quality whether you use it with a standard smartphone or the highest-quality DSLR. Livestreaming - The VXR10 is also great for livestreaming - here we show how to set that up with your smartphone.

Movo has teamed up with content creator and audio expert Brian Miller to create a 6-part, 35 minute video course to help you master the VXR10. In it, we go over all the basics of using the microphone, as well as how to use it in various different setups. Ready to attach directly to your DSLR or mirrorless camera’s 3.5mm audio input, on-camera mics help capture the sound happening right in front of the camera. The most popular on-camera mic—and probably the most familiar—is the shotgun-style mic. But you can use handheld or lavalier style microphones depending on the type of content you’re trying to capture.

Similar, but not limited to just lavalier-style microphones, a wireless microphone system uses transmitters and receivers to capture audio at a distance. This gives you a greater range—sometimes up to 200 feet—of audio recording. That means you can capture medium- and long-shots without compromising sound quality. The Movo WMIC50 , Movo WMX-20-DUO , and the Movo WMIC80 microphones all offer uncompromising wireless audio quality. In the past, Movo’s lav mics were mediocre at best, but they’ve improved a great deal, and they really made a difference. My test results were extremely close to the quality I got from both the Rode Wireless Go II and the DJI Mic when using the same Rode lav mics.Find the best lavalier microphone to suit your needs in our wide range of options below, and get helpful tips and information for using your lav mics. Lavalier microphones, or lav mics, are tiny mics that you have probably heard called a number of different names, including lapel mics, body mics or collar mics. Each of these names was derived from places where you can clip these small, powerful devices. Ultimately, lav mics are great for TV and public appearances and are commonly used during interviews or for recording film audio. Vloggers and podcasters enjoy using them, too. Whether you’re working on a razor-thin budget or don’t have the time to research a new setup, our microphone lineup is sure to have something that’ll help get your ideas off the ground.

Movo positions the VXR10-PRO as a professional grade video microphone capable of recording high-quality audio. During my testing, I found that this little shotgun mic is very capable for its price. It's definitely leagues ahead of the integrated mics found in your average cameras, smartphones, and tablets. The sound was clear, and the mic did a great job at capturing the target. There was a bit of ambient noise in the recordings, especially in loud outside areas, despite the boxes claims of max noise reduction. This is to be expected however, since the mic is essentially plug and play and doesn't offer any built-in settings. Podcasting - Here, we show how to best use the VXR10 for podcasting, narration and voiceovers, including a simple setup for a two-person podcast setup. The world of smartphone microphones is vast and ever-changing, but within that universe are a few tried and true mics that have stood the test of time. Lavalier mics are small enough to be clipped to the lapel or collar of your shirt and are typically wireless to allow the user free range of movement while the talk. Whether you’re giving a lecture, conducting an interview, or just like to have freedom of movement while filming, models like the Movo EDGE-DI , Movo EDGE-UC , Movo WMX-1 , or the Movo LV1 lavalier mic are all great options for your Apple- or Android-based smartphones. Filmmaking - In this video, we go over how to use the VXR10 in a talking head setup, as well as using it on a boom pole for on-the-go filmmaking.Introduction and Unboxing - In this video, we start with the basics - an overview of all of the components you received in the box, as well as microphone specifications and features. You can see this first video below. Vloggers, filmmakers, and videographers of all kinds love it. Whether you’re making a short film or shooting your latest vlog on Venice Beach, the VXR10 will deliver clean, crisp audio, every time.

The charging case has a 3,000mAh capacity battery and takes about four hours to fully recharge when plugged into a laptop or 2 hours when plugged into a wall charger. I found it recharged faster when I used a fast charging device like Anker’s Nano II USB-C charger. It reached a full charge in about 2 hours when I did that. Also, my Chargeasap Flash Pro has a fast-charging option and charged the case fully within two hours, further stretching how long I could record audio while filming. Bravo on battery life, Movo, ya done good, kids. Bottom Line PROFESSIONAL GRADE VIDEO MICROPHONE: Records high-quality audio with a variety of onboard controls and headphone monitoring capability One thing that’s clear when comparing the two mics is that the UM700 aspired to be a sleeker incarnation of the Blue Yeti. It accomplishes that task, as it is slightly lighter (just over a pound less) and takes up a little less space. Keep in mind, the mic/stand combo may be slightly clunky on your desk. I’ve generally learned to allot the space for a mic and stand in my modest podcast setup. While the little things are impressive, the entire body of work is nice as well. The UM700 has a nice metal finish and is decidedly sturdy. I would describe the moving parts of the mic and stand as “snug”— even when I put the USB cable in my MacBook, it was decidedly secure. Yep — the mic has a snug and sturdy feel, but not stiff. This implies craftsmanship, and again, attention to detail.

BATTERY-FREE DESIGN: Microphone draws power directly from your phone or camera. Compatible with any recording device with a 3.5mm TRS or 3.5mm TRRS port
