The CVM-V30-LITE-R Directional On-Camera Shotgun Microphone by Comica Audio is a lightweight microphone that provides high-quality audio recording to your camcorder, DSLR camera, or smartphone. It uses a supercardioid polar pattern to attenuate sounds from the sides, which helps when shooting in noisy environments or at moderate distances.

It weighs1.8 ounces for a lightweight camera setup, making it ideal for handheld shooting. It features an integrated shockmount for isolation from bumps and vibration.  The CVM-V30-LITE-R offers battery-free operation, using the plug-in power from your camera’s 3.5mm microphone input and it includes a low-cut filter to avoid low-frequency noise caused by wind or camera shake.

The CVM-V30-LITE-R has an integrated shoemount with a 3/8″ thread for additional mounting options. The body of the microphone includes a toggle switch which allows you to choose between DSLR or smartphones. A foam windshield and 7.9″ dual mono 3.5mm coiled output cable are included.
