Hey it's MrBeast... Cool.😃👋
It’s is amazingly unbelievable that in all of the videos I’ve seen about this mic, nobody bothers to mention the important fact that if you want to record a video on landscape mode (widescreen) , you have to rotate the mic because if not when recording in stereo the left and right are actually going to be pointing up and down

Nice slippers/song/sarcastic ending. And as usual, a really useful review. Thanks!
Thanks so much for this review. I'm blown away by your thoroughness. You rock! Thanks again
A buddy of mine was using this mic recently on a trip and he gave it a glowing review but didn't explain much about it. Your review was very helpful. I think I'll be getting it! Thanks!

I never stop to leave comments on KZread videos but your video was just so helpful and in depth i have to tip my hat to you brother. Please keep it up. This is real and honest product review at its finest. You are very much appreciated. May much success continue to come your way.
Hey @Podcastage just wanted to say thanks for this review I ordered mine 2 months ago and it still holds up after all these years
Such a great review. Thank you for getting straight to the point & giving quick samples of every setting and every feature. Plus the payoff at the end is great LOL!! ;..D
Terrific video! Thank you. My question is this so do I need to use the Motiv video app to actually record video and use the Shure mic or do I do the Shure mic settings using Motiv and then use my iPhone X’s camera to shoot video and it will then use my Shure’s mic to override my iPhone’s Mic?? Trying to figure out the best sequence: To use my iPhone X’s video with the mic or to use Shure’s video app to use the mic?
Your review helped me in making a decision. Thanks man.
Thank you! 😁 I was wondering whether this would be a good match for my acoustic covers on KZread, and so you both demonstrating it as well as telling us it would be good for just this use was just what I needed 😊
Thanks for showing the different settings in use, very helpful!
Well-covered, no BS. What all reviews should aspire to be.
Great review! Thank you! I didn't realize that there were so many sound options.
Thank you for moving from left to right while speaking, so we can hear the the width and quality of the field. REALLY well done video. You got right to the meat and potatoes, without all of the fluff. Big thumbs up!
Thanks for taking the time to do this!! it was helpful. i am looking to just record some acoustic songs and post with this. i'm anxious to fool with the different sound.
Insane review!! Thanks a lot, a really dive in so many aspects of this mic, amazing content :)
Oh man ! This is one of the most accurate and smart as well as I took a lot of fun !! You covered every aspect possible of this product .. I enjoyed and get a precise idea ..!! Thanks a lot ..got a look on your channel oh yeah .. a lot to watch ..I subscribed ...
Awesome review. Thanks!! (I feel like singing "Suddenly Seymour" for some reason)
Been watching your channel since I've starting doing videos on yt, roughly 2 years, man you helped me so much, still doing, just wanted to say thank you 😋
Totally appreciate your thoroughness. thank you. This was the best review of this microphone. Yes, I have one. I’m 61 years old and I’ve been using SURE mics since I was 16.

Wow. This is the best review I could’ve asked for. Kept the bias out of it, all completely factual... I’m definitely gonna check more of your stuff out sir. +1 sub for you... LOL
That was really helpful in so many ways. Thank you!
I had amazing results with this microphone but lately I can't get the same results. I only use it for band practice or live performances. Lately though, the results are too boomy or too low or both. Somebody help, please.
just got one of these and recorded my first concert. Avett Brothers. So big nod to them in your video where you play their song "will you return"!!!. i just noticed that!!!
THE BEST VIDEO OUT HERE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT! Thank you

Thank you so much! I’m new to this stuff and your video helped a lot. Plus, your humor made me chuckle. Haha. 👍🏽😂
Hey I love your reviews! Quick question - based on your experience, if you’re trying to record a podcast with an iPad or iPhone, would you recommend using the shure mvi88 or using a usb mic with a camera adapter? I heard the adapters can be a bit fickle, so I’m considering a lightning mic...
i always love your reviews with all the testing.

Came for the Mic Review, Stayed for the song ❤
Sounds great! Thanks for making this informative review.
Do the settings remain when you use the microphone with other apps?
Thank you so much Sir for your great help To understand this mic . I have this mic from the last 2 years But I didn’t know how to use properly But now I know how to use it for vlogs Thanks again
Mine bleeds a buzz over filming unless I turn off the phones cellular network.
Thank you!! Will this work with the new iphone 11's?
Thanks for the review--super helpful. Do you think this mic would be sufficient to capture decent recordings of large group vox chants?
Awesome run-down - but can it be headphone-monitored while recording? I didn't see an auxiliary output for a headphone...
Thanks for the review, looking for a good Mic for iPhone 7plus, so this was useful.
6 years on and this is still super helpful

well your video view on the sure mv88 mike is the best for me to understand and know more about this microphone and how it works has convinced me to perchase this microphone.Thank You.
Hi. I’m looking for a mic for using with iPhone 14pro for bushcraft video. So stereo is important because of surrounding. If I understand correctly, mv88 stereo will work not left-right but up-down because of the way how mics are located right? Just imagine that you are recording video horizontally with iPhone main camera. So you need to rotate mv88 to the scene. How stereo mics will be located: left-right or up-down? Thanks for the answer. P.S. can you compare it with Rode stereo pro (not X)?
very nice detailed review! Thank you
Watching 4 years after you posted but this great! I need a mic to plug in and record my acoustic guitar and vocal, no post-production. Looks like this will be ideal! Cheers
thank you very helpful. I just got a gift of this mic. great review

Is it good enough to do sampling...? I.e. sampling sounds ++ for use in music production? The quality is really high enough ?
Question! Can we record video and use this mic setting?
Great review! I like your energy! Thank you!

Just bought one. Thanx for reviewing!! Great review!!👍🏼 Question: I’m a cellist - this won’t work well with my instrument?? I didn’t get it to record music but it I wanted to why not? Sounded ok with your guitar.🤷🏻♀️
Amazing review ✨ Considering getting this for my SO's music recordings. Can I ask though if it works with the built-in camera app for iPhone?
Would this mic be good for filming car drive by’s/ exhaust sounds?
Can I record audio while I switch app to Kindle to read a book with this mic? Or does the recording stop as soon as you switch to another app?
Nice one, man! Solid review. subbed
Very useful review! Just curious... does it have a ducking feature... as well as band pass control? That's the devil in these items. Plus using as a handheld unit for interviews noise cut for handling is important. What do you think the battery life is when A/V vs say mono audio? That's sort of a drawback of this config. That audio separation test was also very helpful. Thanks!
@Podcastage

I don't think it had a ducking feature. I believe it does have EQ settings though. I didn't test the battery life impact while using the mic, but I can assure you it will significantly decrease what you're iPhone provides.
Excellent! Thank you brother. Which polar pattern do you feel would be best for recording nature sounds?
Great review - thank you so much!
You and the creator of Backpack Studio have literally helped me get my podcast off the ground. I use Backpack Studio for all my recordings so my question would be since the settings are app based via Motiv shure app would the settings still work while using a different third party app such as Backpack?
I was hoping for a post recording explanation. IE, where does the file go on your phone? I assume it's got to be easy to output though. Otherwise, great review.
Great review, thanks! You mentioned recording a stand-up routine- What do you think the best setting for recording that sort of live show would be? I just picked one of these up and I'm trying to determine what the best setting for recording my improv shows is. Two things I'm concerned with are ensuring it picks up all the performance aspect, but the audience laughter doesn't drown it out. Assuming there is laughter. It is improv, after all. Thanks!

If you have this on stage pointing towards the performers, then a wide setting should work fine, and then you can make it mono in post.
Thank you-what would you say that your ear finds to be the best mic for recording music onto an iPhone?
What setting do you recommend for vlogging?
Awesome review. Thanks so much!!!
gonna buy it , have a friend who recomended it, so gonna try it for traveling purposes
Can I use this for recording the audio when recording video straight from my phones camera? I want it for vlogging
Great review! helps me alot! Thank you!
Question When I record there’s a certain fuzziness sound I hear, even during silence. Not sure if it’s fuzz or static is the accurate term. How did you get rid of yours? It sounds very smooth and crisp. There’s no fuzziness. Or am I I just getting ahead of myself? Lol
Thanks for the great presentation!
Does it work with the normal iphone camera/video App? And would you recommend for live outdoor events like a Symphonic Band or Marching Band?
I love your graphic design
great video. i ordered one today. i only use shure in my studio

Hey awesome video. What preset or setting should i use for indoor youtube videos (Talking/voice) and also the settings for when i am vlogging outdoor? (talking/voice) Thanks so much
Does your mic work when positioned at 90 degrees? This is my second unit and it does not work in the 90 degree position.
I have a little question 😊 connecting mv88 cancels the iphone microphone? When using the video recording app, is it recorded with the audio of mv88 or iphone?
What is the name of the product you're using to hold the phone?
Nice video. I heard like we need to put mobile in flight mode while using the mic . Is it true?

yes.
We use a MEVO camera that is run through an app on the iphone. Are we going to be able to use this mic if we have to have the MEVO app open to record?
I have a doubt, if i want to record on the GarageBand App, how do i record with the MV88 while listening with headphones the click/other tracks?
Question: is this a good choice for having a mic set up about 1.5 ft away? Is there a better option?
good video. i bought one but returned it since it won't work with any iphone or ipad in a case. although the sound was pretty good, I get much better recordings out of my tascam digital handheld. in the end, it all depends on what you want to do with it. I also found this mic to me a little hollow-sounding and not too real or full. i'm picky. been into film and audio engineering for years. great channel you have!

"...it won't work with any iphone or ipad in a case." The MV88 works with iPhone cases with an open bottom, like Apple's cases, as seen in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/i3aZ2sZwYa_alps.html ... or the Spigen Thin Fit Crystal Clear I use with my iPhone 8 Plus: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M08G1RP/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Will the mono-bi directional works only in vertical mode?Because before that you placed your phone horizontally and later switched to vertical for checking the bi directional preset for interviews. Please let me know about it as i am planning to buy this microphone for vlogging and interviews.
Play pedals and use a deluxe reverb. What mic would you recommend for a hobbyist that wants to record through their iPhone for ease of use. Not interested at this point in setting up my computer and mics just for creating ideas. Thanks
Hi, and thanks for this vid. For sure this us a awesome mic ! I used with my iPad Air 2. Now I have got an iPad Air 4, equipped with a USB C connector ! Any idea for an adaptor able to connect my new iPad to MV88 mic ? Thanks a lot.
Excellent review as always man. I'm stuck doing scream vocals in a car. That sucks for several reasons. Id like to get this mic but I have an android. Is it pissible to connect this mic to an androud device?
Does it work on a electric phone gimble like the dji osmo?
