Boasting highly directional response and the ability to add a secondary audio source for 2-track camera recording, the Deity Microphones V-Mic D4 Mini is a lightweight and ultracompact camera-mount shotgun microphone that not only effectively rejects off-camera sound, but also works with a range of devices such as DSLRs, smartphones, and portable audio recorders. The winning combination of size, quality, and versatility makes the V-Mic D4 Mini an attractive mic solution for budget-minded vloggers, videographers, and hybrid shooters.
Cost-Effective Quality
The V-Mic D4 Mini is a high-quality, affordable miniature microphone with a supercardioid polar pattern that allows users to capture directional audio and reject sounds coming from off-camera.
Medium-Diaphragm Condenser Capsule
While other microphones in the micro-shotgun division feature capsules as small as 6mm, the V-Mic D4 Mini features Deity's 4th generation 14mm medium-diaphragm electret condenser capsule, the same one found in the rest of Deity's D4 series of video microphones.
Secondary Audio Source
The V-Mic D4 Mini features a 3.5mm TRS input jack that allows you to easily insert a secondary audio source, like a wireless microphone, without a splitter cable. The input jack automatically routes the second audio source to the right audio channel on your camera. The input jack also features plug-in-power passed through from the camera. This enables the use of a passive lavalier like the Deity V.Lav.
Side-Mounted Output Jack
The side-mounted 3.5mm TRS output jack is perfect for hybrid DSLR shooters who still want to use their eyepiece for taking photos.
Audio Cables for Cameras and Smartphones
Included with the V-Mic D4 Mini are two 3.5mm audio cables—one TRS cable for use with cameras and a TRRS cable for smartphones/tablets outfitted with headphone jacks.
No Batteries Required
Since the D4 Mini runs on plug-in power (1 to 5V) from cameras, phones, and audio recorders, it needs no batteries.
Offset Shockmount
The D4 Mini utilizes a new offset shockmount that makes it the ideal microphone for use with wide-angle vlogging cameras or action cameras.
20 mph Wind Protection
The faux fur windshield provides wind protection up to 20 mph so the microphone is ready for rough elements.
