Thank you so much for your kind words! My mother was a teacher and I too was a teacher for 6 months and thoroughly enjoyed it. What we do on this channel is easy if you put passion into it...that’s what I always try and do.

Hey, Brian! I came to tell you thanks for all your tips and suggestions about the use of DJI Osmo and accessories etc. It's a very important content to our community of owners of Osmo. All your videos are very helpful and well done. I like the way you tell us how to use these things. So, thank you! I am very interested in this Comica VM10 mic, but unfortunately it is not available here. A hug from Brasil!

Thanks Marcelo! always great to hear from people representing all corners of the globe!

Hi Brian, thank you again for a wonderful video - I 'm new to your channel & the Osmo - have seen all your videos with you and your young assistant - I 'm still waiting for my Osmo + - hopefully delivery tomorrow. Important: Keep your independence and more followers will subscribe your channel. One final comment to your language - I 'm German and I 'm more than happy to hear your voice in a clear and understandable way - much better than many native English speakers with a special local accent!

Hey! I am looking to use OSMO mobile, Iphone SE and switcher suite. With Switcher Suite I need to hold osmo in the vertical orientation, is there any reason that this mic would not work vertical?

hi. where do I buy the straight arm and phone holder? also what kind of Osmo is this? I'm new to this and I want to but this set up.

great review as always, thank you. i have a Rode VideoMic Go and it makes a hissing type noise. any help or tips?

I was looking at the Rhodes & Gigibon version and they all look the same. It's like one of those products that one company builds a product then 10 companies put their name on it . I have a DJI Osmo that I use a DJI M-15 FlexiMic on it but since I got the Z-Axis arm installed the DJI M-15 FlexiMic is now useless because it gets into the Z-Axis arm's way. So, after further review of this Comica, I went ahead and purchased it. I do have also the Sony ECM XYST1M Microphone which I use on my Osmo but because the foot of the microphone is all expose electronic metal, I have to put a masking tape on it to prevent it from shorting out the audio when I mount it on the Osmo bracket mount.

great review. extremely helpful the breakdown of the price comica v. rode.

At Amazon USA, the kit you reviewed is only $1 more than the Rode, $60 vs $59. No reviews for it at Amazon, so I wouldn't have considered it without your video. Seems like a good deal.

Good point, I just saw that now. The Mic did a good job to be fair and so easy to use.

Will it capture osmo mobile motor noise?

Hi Brian, really enjoy your videos and it was because of them that I was convinced enough to buy the Osmo. I find them really informative, but not overly complicated. Like many people, I decided to look for an external microphone and for a long while was favouring those produced by Rode. Fortunately, I came across this video and made the decision to go with the Comica . I ordered it from Amazon and it arrived today. It's definitely as good as you described it, although, as of writing, I haven't actually plugged it in and tested the audio yet. The case that it comes in is a nice addition, but I was disappointed to discover that mine didn't come with the universal mount, which would definitely have been worth having.

Thanks and that's glad to hear we've helped you decide. It's not a bad Mic at all. My recommendation for a wireless Mic. would have to be the Sennheiser EW 112-P G3 GB Wireless Lavalier Microphone System. It's really good but not that cheap.

I really appreciate and enjoy your reviews on the Dji Osmo! Have you any videos on the Osmo Mobile?

Looks like an interesting microphone for the Osmo, especially like that they give you the additional smartphone audio cable and a case. Personally I have the Rode Videomicro but this seems comparable and comes with more extras.. I don't see the universal mount listed on amazon as coming with this mic btw.

@AfriOptix

yep, the smartphone cable and the other goodies makes this a good package. I was also quite surprised to see the universal mount as it does not appear anywhere in the description or photos, but if indeed it is included, fair game to Comica.

Is there any microphone that can connect to an iPhone 8 via Bluetooth on an Osmo Mobile 2?

@ManuelKoegler

Dudley Warner sadly no, not from the research I’ve done into it, myself being interested in the mobile 2. We could get an L bracket to mount both the Osmo and microphone of choice to, but still somehow need to connect it to out phone. Sadly the ismo covers up the charging port, the only port we have.

Hi I would like a wireless mic for the osmo dji what do you recommend that is affordable?

Hi Brian - just wondering, are you using a iPhone 7+ with your Osmo - do you have any weight issues with strain on the gimbal if that is the case - many thanks again

@AfriOptix

7 жыл бұрын

+Darron Saunders Thanks Darron. Occasionally, with the gimbal turned off and the handle slightly off the vertical, the Iphone 7+ appears slightly unbalanced but the moment you switch the gimbal on, the motors are quite powerful to easily counter any slightly unbalanced weight distribution. If it's heavily unbalanced, then the motors will do a lot more and battery won't last as long .

Hi Brian, thanks for getting back to me:) Will investigate a bit further and check out the rest of your videos

Another nice video. As others mentioned please keep Osmo mobile in mind. It would be great if you were to get the new mobile top for your existing handle that was announced at CES. These products are great, but I'm envisioning where things could be in a few years. Your video reaffirmed that the built in osmo audio is useless. Since a mic is necessary, perhaps Dji will add a dedicated spot to mount a mic in the future. Also, if the attachment arms had USB embedded, your setup could allow for a swivel motor on the mic mount, so the mic could be set to face the same direction as the camera. If used with iPhone 7 and osmo mobile, do you know of a lightning cable direct to this mic, to avoid apple's headphone adapter and the provided cable being used together?

@AfriOptix

7 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I actually have the new M1 on order and will definitely include the Mobile Osmo in review going forward. I'm not aware of a lightning cable to TRS cable for audio and when I tested this mic on an iPhone 7plus, I had to use the lightning to headphone jack dongle.

@TheTekSone

7 жыл бұрын

That is what I also wanted to know. Will the dongle be suitable for use on the iPhone 7 & 7 Plus with this mic?

@h_t_s

7 жыл бұрын

You should be able to plug the mic with a dongle to iPhone 7/Plus. But the problem is you'll hardly get the phone balanced in position of the Osmo Mobile. You need to have space in between lighting connector of the phone and Osmo Mobile to be able to plug the dongle. My second idea was to use a bluetooth mic but doesn't work during video recording. Now I'm using a separate recorder TASCAM DR-05 what of cause means extra weight...

Brilliant video, wow the built in mic of the Osmo is shockingly bad. Well done.

If you don't have the mount, do you save money rather than buying the rode + mount?

That's a bit aggressive, I love your content, why so angry at me... I don't perceive it as nitpicking, my language is important to me. There's is only one English language, and only one elemental table. If others are wrong, it doesn't follow that we must do the same. I will still continue to subscribe, as everything else is good.

martin brimble I'm not angry at you at all. From the onset, all you seem to be keen on is correcting the way I choose to say certain things You completely miss the whole ethos of this channel. My passion is to share information, freely and in my own style , fashion and time so of course I have to defend myself when you nit pick over trivial issues. This channel is not about who speaks or writes the best English. If English was not your first language you would probably make similar mistakes so stop being so fussy about semantics and focus on the bigger picture.
