Microphone Comica CVM-V01SP 2.5 m — wired shotgun microphone for cameras and recorders

The Comica CVM-V01SP 2.5 m is a wired shotgun microphone designed for use with cameras, DSLRs, camcorders and portable audio recorders. With a directional pickup pattern and a compact form factor, the microphone captures focused audio from the subject while reducing ambient noise. The included 2.5 m cable offers extended reach between the camera and the talent or between the camera and a remote audio source, making the microphone suitable for location work and run-and-gun shooting.

Advantages

The microphone provides directional sound capture that improves speech intelligibility and reduces off-axis noise. Its compact, lightweight design makes it easy to mount on a camera hot shoe or on a small shock mount, and the plug-and-play wired connection ensures reliable signal transmission without the need for batteries. The extended 2.5 m cable increases flexibility when positioning the mic relative to the camera or subject.

Suitable for

• On-camera interviews and reporting
• Vlogging and solo content creation
• Field recording and run-and-gun production
• DSLR and camcorder shoots where directional audio is required

Key specifications

How to use

Mount the microphone on the camera hot shoe or attach it to an appropriate clamp or shock mount. Route the 2.5 m cable to the camera or recorder and connect to the device's microphone input. Aim the microphone toward the primary sound source to take advantage of its directional pickup; adjust camera or mic position to minimize background noise and ensure clear speech capture. No batteries are required for operation when powered by the host device's mic input.

Usage recommendations

For best results, place the microphone within a reasonable distance of the speaker and keep the pick-up axis pointed at the subject. Use a windscreen or foam cover in outdoor conditions to reduce wind noise and consider a shock mount or padded mount to minimize handling noise during run-and-gun shooting.
