  • Cardioid Polar Chitsanzo: The CVM-VM10II shotgun microphone features a cardioid polar pattern, which provides excellent off-axis rejection. This design effectively reduces ambient noise, focusing audio capture on the desired sound source directly in front of the microphone.
  • Super Anti-Interference: Constructed from 100% aluminum material, the microphone's body strengthens its anti-interference function. This helps to reduce noise caused by vibrations and electromagnetic interference, ensuring cleaner audio recordings.
  • Professional Shock-absorption Stand: The included shock-absorption stand is designed to minimize vibration noise. This is crucial for video shooting, as it prevents unwanted sounds from camera handling or movement from being picked up by the microphone.
  • Kugwirizana Kwachilengedwe: The microphone comes with both 3.5mm TRRS (for smartphones) and 3.5mm TRS (for cameras) audio cables. This allows compatibility with most cameras, camcorders, iPhone and Android smartphones, tablets, and laptops with a 3.5mm mic input jack. Note: For iPhone 7 and above, an original iPhone adapter cable is required. Not compatible with Canon T6.
  • Battery-Free Design: The CVM-VM10II operates without internal batteries, drawing power directly from the connected device. This plug-and-play functionality simplifies setup and eliminates the need for battery management.
