Description
The majority of DSLR cameras, camcorders, audio recorders, smartphones, tablets, and laptops are compatible with the Moukey Video Microphone. Note: A 3.5mm microphone jack should be present on all compatible devices. The original 3.5mm lightning adapter, appropriate for Android devices with a 3.5mm interface, is required for iPhone 7 and later models (not included). (Canon EOS series, T5i, T6, and T7 without a 3.5mm microphone jack are not appropriate.) When utilized with different DSLR cameras, our camera microphone’s integrated high-class cardioid condenser capsule produces the best audio recording. And two top-notch gearbox cables are included to restore the purest sound.
Suitable for interviews, vlogging, recording YouTube, Tik Tok, family vacations, live music, outdoor events, lessons, etc., the unidirectional microphone is primarily sensitive to sounds in front of the camera and may eliminate background noise. A body composed of aluminum protects the sound recording quality from radio frequency interference at high levels. And thanks to its small size, the shotgun microphone is easy to transport. includes a shock-absorption shock mount that effectively reduces unwanted handling noise and vibration. Additional professional accessories include a microphone windscreen, a foam cover, a soft carrying bag, a 3.5mm TRRS output cable for Mac, as well as 3.5mm TRS output cables for DSLR cameras, camcorders, and recorders.
