VM30 Application Scenarios

How cool is breaking the wire entanglements with the VM30 wireless shotgun mic?

Accurate pickup patterns and ultra-long pickup distance make the shotgun mic favored by creators. However, the inconvenient use and high investment caused by various wire entanglements or matching with wireless transmission systems have become unavoidable pain for users of traditional shotgun mics.

Comica VM30 integrates the pickup pattern of the shotgun mic and the freedom of the wireless mic at the same time, freeing the application of the shotgun mic from traditional constraints and achieving a more efficient, flexible, and convenient recording experience.

How cool is it to use the VM30? Let's check it out with Comica!

Video Shooting

Powerful Partner for Individual Creator

For users who shoot videos, convenience is a key factor in choosing a device. In addition to wireless transmission, the convenience of using VM30 has also been greatly improved.

First of all, the VM30 has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery. Compared with traditional shotgun mics that need to be connected to an additional 48V phantom power, the VM30 can be directly connected to the camera for use, which saves a lot of preparation time and also reduce the burden for handheld shooting.

The shotgun mic also supports wired/wireless mode at the same time. When multi-camera recording is required, it can provide a more convenient solution for audio synchronization, audio backup, etc.

Sound Optimizer for Outdoor Recording

VM30 adopts the supercardioid pickup pattern. In outdoor shooting or Vlog recording, even in a noisy environment, VM30 can accurately pick up the sound in front of the mic and suppress the noise from the side and back, making the human voice stand out.

Besides, the all-metal body of the VM30 has strong anti-interference ability. The shotgun mic is designed with two low-cut filters to effectively filter out low-frequency noise generated by air conditioners, vehicle traffic, etc., making the sound purer.

In an outdoor environment, especially in windy weather, the mic needs a wind muff to reduce wind noise. Although the wind muff may reduce the high-frequency part, the VM30 can enhance the high-frequency part by turning on the high-frequency mode to make the sound clearer.

Voiceover Recording

For more convenience in use, the VM30 features a USB-C digital output interface. In voiceover recording, creators can easily connect the mic to computers/tablets/mobile phones. And the digital output can avoid audio loss during the digital-to-analog conversion process and achieve higher recording quality.

Furthermore, considering the connection and application of the devices, VM30 comes with a shock mount with cold shoe and 1/4 interfaces and a mic clip with 3/8 and 5/8 interfaces. They cover almost all the interfaces of mainstream cameras, tripods, C-stands, boom stands, and mic stands on the market for more flexible and convenient use.

Live Streaming

The advantage of wireless is especially prominent in live streaming. Generally, there are many devices like cameras, lights, and computers during streaming. Various wires are intertwined, and people are easy to get tripped. Yet a wireless shotgun mic makes streaming free and smooth.

Before streaming, the streamer just needs to set the shotgun mic on a boom stand and start recording. It is extremely inconvenient to change clothes while wearing a wireless mic during live streaming of clothing. However, the wireless shotgun mic can free the streamer's hands, allowing the streamer to move and display more freely.

VM30 supports 50 hours of battery life in wired mode and 7 hours of battery life in wireless mode. It also supports charging while using to ensure the stability of the recording. There is no need to worry about battery life during live streaming for a long time.

Simultaneous Recording

The VM30 shotgun mic only weighs 93g, which makes it a better solution for simultaneous recording. Simultaneous recording users generally choose to add an extension cable to the shotgun mic or use it with a wireless transmission system. But extension cable may cause noise and interference, and wireless transmission system will increase the cost and burden to hold.

The integrated wireless transmission design of VM30 enables users to move flexibly and freely during simultaneous recording without being restricted by extension cables or a wireless transmission system. It also helps users save preparation time and cost and greatly improves the effect and efficiency of recording.

In general, VM30 provides creators with more efficient, flexible, and convenient recording experiences without application scenario restrictions.
