Movo X3-II Shotgun Microphone for Camera – 11” XLR Supercardioid Boom Mic for Filmmaking, DSLR Video, Interviews & Content Creation – Includes Rycote Shockmount, Grip & XLR Cables

Movo X3-II 11-inch XLR Shotgun Microphone for Camera - Supercardioid Condenser Shotgun Mic for DSLR, Content Creation, Video, and Filmmaking - Directional Boom Mic with Rycote Shockmount, Grip On XLR with phantom power this mic punches well above its weight. Easily competes with far more expensive mics. On battery it’s not as good sounding. You seem to loose allot of bottom end and the overall sound gets thinner. However placed in its proper, just out of frame position, not on camera, and using phantom power this thing sounds fantastic. Very impressive. For these purposes I highly recommend this and I am grateful to have this mic in my mic locker. It also comes with all the accessories and cables you are gonna need. Just be aware I feel it’s better into an XLR input rather than 1/8” input on battery. It also has good uses in music recording. Just consider this an XLR mic that needs phantom power and just forget about the battery.

This Movo X3-II 11-inch XLR Shotgun Microphone works well. It is a solid mic. It is a large mic so for me it works better in stationary setups. It is a versatile mic, works best using XLR phantom power, but it can also be powered via an AA battery. Sound quality is clear using phantom power. The mic is well built and sturdy, made from aluminum. It also includes all needed accessories and cables (XLR to XLR Cable, XLR to 3.5mm TRS cable). Plus the storage bag is very convenient, makes it easy to store in my bag. Overall, it works well, is well made, and has clear mic quality.

Great entry level shotgun microphone. The pros are the build quality and premium materials, as nothing about it feels flimsy or cheap. Almost all the pieces are made of a durable lightweight metal, whereas competing mics are built with plastic that easily snaps. This is great for being able to throw it into a camera bag and not worry about it breaking in transit. The various included attachments, carrying bag, and cables are also made with great quality materials. Unfortunately, the cons lie with the so-so audio quality, and the size of the mic. It feels much much larger than it needs to be, especially being that it needs to be relatively close to the subject to pick up good audio. All in all though, this will get the job done and a great addition to a beginner's film kit.

The microphone is compatible with DSLR cameras, recorders, and audio interfaces, and it can be powered by a AA battery or phantom power. It is easy to mount and use, and it comes with a foam windscreen, a furry windscreen, a carry bag, a handgrip, and two cables. I highly recommend this microphone to anyone who needs a high-quality shotgun microphone for their video projects. It is worth the price and the quality is excellent.

The media could not be loaded.  There’s nothing like a good quality XLR mic. This mic delivers audio quality that trumps all my much smaller vlog style mics. This mic is very large and I would not use it in a vlogging scenario unless I was stationary. This is the perfect mic for long format videos, interviews, podcasts and talking head videos.The audio is exceptional with both cables, but I honestly prefer plugging the XLR in to my Zoom H8 recorder for the best audio possible. It comes with an XLR to 3.5mm cable. I mounted this on a boom arm and tilted it down while being positioned slightly out of frame and the audio was cleaner, and crisper than when I wear any of my wireless mic sets.This will find a permanent home in my office for all my audio needs.

I've had many Shotgun Microphones over time and this is the best I've had yet. Superior Sound Quality, the Cables are high Quality, i will be using this for all of my Video work going forward. highly recommended. i love this Mic

The media could not be loaded.  Great for podcasting. This is vastly more effecient audio quality wise than my rode mic. One that you do sacrific howber is portability. Would I have this in a hotshoe on stationary/tripod camera? Sure. Handheld? Probably not.The included pouch with additional cables is handy for if you have an audio mixer.

I love that it comes with a XLR to XLR cable as well as a XLR to 3.5mm jack. That way I can plug it into a professional interface, or just slap it directly into the camera. It gives the option to power with phantom power through an interface, or with only a single AA battery. I've yet to see a microphone with that much versatility.I tried it with the 3.5mm jack and the audio I received out of it was mediocre. It was very quiet, and if I turned it up, I got a slight hum in the background.I'll be trying it with an XLR port on an interface to see if the quality improves, but as my intended use was the 3.5, it's not really going to work for my purposes. It does provide audio that's better than the camera, but not as good as I was hoping for.On a happier note, the windscreen and deadcat work fantastic for windy environments, so if I need to record on a windy day, this may still be a go to mic.I was also impressed by the shock mount at avoiding snaps and pops during hard movements.Overall a good mic.
