Product Description

Two microphone design with dual cardioid pickup patterns. The D4 DUO's unique dual-capsule design allows you to record the audio coming from behind the camera in full fidelity for the first time ever.
The D4 DUO is a small, micro-sized on-camera microphone that is well suited for use with smaller mirrorless and DSLR cameras, weighing only 40g/1 oz. 4oz. The dimensions are 21mmD x 93mmH. 5mmH
Auxiliary 3. It has a 5mm input. The 5mm AUX input bypasses the rear capsule's audio and sends it to your camera's right channel, allowing you to use other lavalier microphones or wireless receivers. To use your lavalier or wireless receiver, simply turn the knob to stereo.
Dual Mono/Stereo A switch on the top that allows you to choose between using a single stereo track for the front microphone or splitting that stereo track into two mono tracks for the front and back microphones.
No battery is required because it is powered by the camera's plug-in power, so it can be used without batteries by connecting the DSLRs. Shockmount for Rycote Lyre with camera shoe

The mic is fantastic, but the windscreens are terrible
4/5

While both microphones sound great, I like the fact that I can use the rear capsule to capture my voice when I'm reviewing or boxing some items without having to flip the mic every time. br>br>The microphone sounds great, my only issue is that the wind screens are very loose and could use better rubber seals, I lost important audio during situations where it suddenly became windy and the win screens were blown away.

Look at this major flaw
3/5

br>br>I'm able to use this because my workflow doesn't include a lot of outdoor vlogging in the style of an interview. This front and back recording feature is a godsend for getting good audio from both you and the person you're shooting in front of the camera. at the same time Depending on the direction you're shooting and your audio needs, you can set it to just front OR rare facing. Except, even with the supplied wind socks, the thing is absolutely terrible in the wind. br>br>I believe that foam windscreens could be easily cobbled together to solve the problem, but I don't have the time or need to experiment right now.

So far, everything has gone well
4/5

The idea of a shotgun mic with a mic pointing in both directions appeals to me greatly. That was a brilliant idea. In the videos I've made so far, the sound quality has been satisfactory. However, I haven't tested the mic's limits (I haven't done videos outside or in the wind), nor have I moved around too much, which could affect sound and quality. br>br>However, it works right out of the box, sounds great so far, and I'm looking forward to doing more long-term testing.

One Mic, One Mic, One Mic, One Mic, One Mic, One Mic, One Mic, One Mic This microphone is a game changer for those of us who make videos where we are either behind the camera talking to the subject of the video or constantly moving from behind the camera to the front
5/5

There will be no more moving the mic or using excessive audio compression to match the volume of the person in front and behind the cameras. I'm going to buy another of these to replace the microphone on my B camera.

Microphones on both sides
5/5

The ideal microphone for the Canon M50. I have a Rode Video Micro, but the audio quality on this mic is slightly better, and the dual microphone feature is fantastic. As an actor, I require the microphone to pick up my audio as well as the reader who stands behind the camera! I can record with just one mic now that I don't need the extra vaudio recording! Amazing!.

For the money, this is a fantastic microphone
4/5

I liked the microphone and find the dual microphone system to be very intuitive; the wind deflector is also great, though we almost lost the back one when it fell off while boarding a bus on the Grand Canyon. The sound quality is the only thing I wish was better; it's certainly better than the in-camera microphone, but it's far from perfect.

I was not given the correct item
5/5

Update: The cleaning kit turned out to be a gift as a result of the microphone's shipment delay while it was held at the holding facility. I was pleasantly surprised, and I may have jumped the gun a little. The product is excellent. br>br>Instead of the microphone I paid for, Pergear sent me a cheaply made cleaning kit. I'm waiting for a response from the company on whether they will send me the correct item or refund my money. I, too, had been waiting for quite some time. Ugh.

Vloggers will appreciate how convenient it is and how well it caters to their needs
5/5

Of course, having front and rear microphones is advantageous, but having a microphone out is also advantageous. Because I'm frequently behind the camera, this is my dedicated vlogging microphone.
