Designed for mobile journalists, run-and-gun video creators, and live streamers, the red Comica CVM-V30 LITE R Shotgun Microphone for Cameras Smartphonesoffers a compact, cost-effective solution to help your work sound a lot better.

This lightweight (at 1.8 oz) shotgun microphone plugs directly into DSLR, mirrorless, and video cameras, or smartphones and tablets equipped with a headphone jack, and it yields a significantly improved sound compared to the built-in mics on these devices.

The CVM-V30 LITE R features an integrated shockmount with a Lyre design for superior isolation from bumps and vibrations. There is also an integrated shoemount with a 1/4" thread at the bottom for mounting on a tripod. A low-cut filter helps reduce low-frequency noise caused by wind or camera shake. The mic is powered by plug-in power from your camera for battery-free operation. A foam windshield is included.

Plug-and-play operation makes it extremely easy to use right out of the box. Just use the toggle switch to choose between camera or smartphone operation and immediately start recording your YouTube videos, Facebook Live streams, and interviews, at home or on the go.
