The first innovative mic since the Rode Videomicro
Deity Microphones V-Mic D4 DUO Dual-Capsule Micro Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone
Reviewed by Tony on B&H Photo Video
This is my first non-Rode mic in a long time and the reason is because of it's innovation. It's hard to improve on the Rode videomicro but Diety has done it. The first big improvement is obviously the second capsule on the back side of the microphone, perfect for the talking cameraman. In our world today, we don't have big film crews each with their own job so this is nice because I can talk to the back of the camera without flipping my microphone around being the talent, audio guy and videographer. They even thought the mic would be closer to the person so added a -10db on the rear capsule. The second addition is an 1/8 input so if you don't need to use the rear capsule, you can use it for a wireless mic or even just a wired lav. Brilliant! Now I am able to use the 2 channels of built in camera audio to it's fullest. Great job!

Love this microphone. It's freaking sweet. I was using some cheap microphone from Amazon, but I now am loving how this microphone sounds. Works great for recording weddings. I turn the microphone around and use the rear capsule during the DJ dance parts because its able to handle the loud music better than my other microphones. I've had zero issues with it when shooting outdoors, indoors. I wish this was around last year when I bought my first microphone.
This microphone sounds AMAZING!

I have been using this microphone for the past week and really like how it sounds. So often you don't know if you can trust these cheaper microphones. But I had to see with this one because while I own a MOVO, I'm not happy with how it sounds. The D4 DUO has a much more crispy clear sound to it which helps my voice cut distracting low frequency sounds like traffic noise. The rear capsule sounds fantastic. Almost like recording a narration track while shooting your video. Makes vlogging super easy!
Great starter microphone

Deity D4-Duo is a great starter microphone for beginner vloggers and audiophiles. Using with a mobile device (with an app that is compatible with an external mic input setup) and a Go Pro, the audio quality is expectedly better. However, I did notice a higher noise floor even with just the front capsule enabled, and I can't accurately describe if the dead cat is "working" (mixed reviews from other vloggers). The gain and bass appear to be less sensitive than the newly-released Deity D4 Mini. I plan on using the D4-Duo with my GoPro setup as I cannot control the gain on the GoPro, and the D4-Mini with my mobile device setup. It would be nice if the D4-Duo included both TRS to TRS and TRS to TRRS cables just like the D4 mini at its price point. For this reason, I give it 4-stars. ... More
Very versatile on-camera mic, great for run-&-gun work

Reviewed by Jacob on B&H Photo Video
Previously, I've used the Rode Videomic Go, which is decent for an inexpensive shotgun mic. A lot of my video is shot gimballed while I'm skiing or longboarding, so it's very useful to have the omnidirectional dual capsule. I first used the mic this past weekend when I was out skiing; I used it with my Sony A7 III for some handheld shots. The audio sounded great and the mic did an outstanding job at cutting the wind. This mic is a great bang-for-buck buy and it's perfect for run-and-gun work.

Great mic. Needs extra cord for smartphone use.

This mic is really intended for use with a DLSR, but I'm using it with my iPhone. Unfortunately, you can't record in stereo on an iPhone (why?!) and you must purchase a short TRS to TRRS cable in order for it to even work with an iPhone. However, I'm planning to get a dedicated camera relatively soon, so I think this mic will really shine at that point. The sound is clean and clear. The shock mount works. I love the ability to record in two directions or one, and the ability to plug in a separate lavalier. Really versatile little device. ... More
Good Concept

Reviewed by Andres on B&H Photo Video
Used the product on a Canon EOS C70 for home movies. It's a great concept to capture front and rear facing audio. The signal comes out stereo where the Left Channel is the front and the Right Channel is the rear. For this specific camera/mic pair, make sure you enabled the "powered mic" option in the audio settings. Results were alright. Audio was clear from both channels. However, I will be returning to use a dedicated phantom-powered shotgun mic. For example, my Sennheiser MKE 600 renders more "presence" (for more $, unfortunately). Don't get me wrong, this Deity product is not bad - it's just okay - it's a mic. ... More
I've Been Waiting Years for This!

Reviewed by Brent on B&H Photo Video
This microphone is basically like Mighty Mouse. The forward and rear facing microphones are awesome but my primary reason for purchase was the ability to hook another line into it. This allows me to capture audio off the front microphone but still have my Rode Rodelink Kit hooked up as well to capture great audio from me as well. Highly recommend!
Inside and Outside - Outstanding!

I use this product mainly for vlogging and indoor (or even outdoor) videos for my YouTube channel. I love the front/back option when vlogging. Makes things easier and less worrisome. I've used it multiple times in all the ways I mentioned above and it has performed superbly. I don't have many negatives. I have not experienced the problems others have experienced with the dead cats. But i do listen closely for it when I edit my videos. Make the purchase!

What a concept with front and rear facing mics in one capsule. This is what i needed for the person behind the mic facilitating the shot or providing play by play while also recieving front audio. Perfect! One and two channel options for editing in post. How is the sound quality? Good for a $100 mic. Is it perfect? probably not but an excellent replacement for dual cavs when needed or desired. I would by again, again and again.

I've had this mic for about 8 months and it's still going strong. I use this mic regularly and I haven't had any issues. If you are looking for a good quality mic without the expensive price tag, this is it!

I received my new Deity V-Mic D4 Duo. It works fantastic for its size. I have its most famous competitor, I like this better due to its ability to pick up my voice from behind if that is what I want.

I'm very satisfied with my purchase on this mic. The design is well thought out and the audio quality is great. If they made a powered one that ran on a AA battery with a pre amp to boost the front mic I would buy it immediately.

I wanted a mic that would pickup what was in front and behind it. This works well, and I like that it needs no batteries to corrode.

It works well with another lavalier mic attached to it since I use it to record myself playing basketball. The audio is really good as well.
