Movo VXR10 Shotgun Microphone

Overview

The Movo VXR10 is a cardioid shotgun microphone built to mount on top of a camera rather than sit on a desk. It’s fully passive — no battery, no power supply — and ships with both a 3.5mm TRS cable for cameras and camcorders and a TRRS cable for phones and tablets, so it works across whichever device you’re filming with.

Key specs

• Cardioid shotgun capsule, 35Hz–18kHz ±3dB frequency response, 76dB signal-to-noise ratio
• No battery required — fully passive design
• Includes both a 3.5mm TRS cable (cameras, camcorders, recorders) and a TRRS cable (phones, tablets, laptops)
• Shock mount and furry windscreen (deadcat) included to cut handling noise and wind noise
• Compact aluminium body plus a soft carrying case
• Works with DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, camcorders, audio recorders, smartphones, GoPro and DJI Osmo cameras

Who it’s for

This is the odd one out on our list in a good way: everything else here is a desk mic, and this is the one to buy instead if you’re actually filming on-camera video — run-and-gun content, product demos, interviews shot on a camera or gimbal rather than at a desk.
