Frequently asked questions
Is the Comica CVM-V30B/R compatible with both cameras and smartphones?
Yes. The CVM-V30B/R features a toggle switch that lets you select between TRS mode for DSLR, mirrorless, and video cameras, and TRRS mode for smartphones and tablets with a 3.5mm headphone jack — no adapter required.
Does the Comica CVM-V30B/R require batteries?
No. The microphone runs entirely on plug-in power supplied through your camera or smartphone's headphone jack, so there are no batteries needed and you can start recording straight out of the box.
How does the CVM-V30B/R reduce wind and handling noise during outdoor shooting?
It uses two complementary features: an integrated Lyre shockmount that isolates the capsule from physical vibrations and handling bumps, plus a built-in low-cut filter that rolls off low-frequency wind rumble and camera-shake noise. A foam windshield is also included for additional outdoor wind protection.
