Need a budget microphone for shooting vlogs or really anything? Check out this tiny killer $40 microphone! Works great with cameras, phones and even computers.
You can find the microphone here on Amazon: http://geni.us/K7LXl
The Movo VXR10 may look very similar to the Rode VideoMicro, but I actually found it to be superior in several ways. This cheap microphone is much louder/more sensitive which is VERY important for avoiding that nasty hiss you can get on a lot of cameras. It also comes with a cable for use with your smart phone or tablet.
Finally, the microphone also includes a coldshoe mount and a very effective wind muff.

Would you perform side noise rejection comparison? The Rhode is sold as a directional microphone, not a cardioid. Thanks for the many informative videos.
Great comparison, would love to test it for my Canon vlogging setup, too, but unfortunately it’s not available in Germany right now and international shipping by the manufacturer costs the same amount like the product it self. 🙁
What an awesome review! Thank you so much for sharing that. Off to buy one.
Really like your new intro and outro style!
Thanks for the video. Wind noise is always an issue for me shooting cars at the track & outdoor interviews.
Great video man! Speaking about microphones, which one is the one you use for your videos? (I assume the one mounted in a stand on top of your head) if that’s the position please confirm! Thank you!
Great review and I am going to try the Movo. I own the Rode and not a big fan. Replaced 2x by Rode. Problem is that the mic picks up handling noise (a lot) when mounted on my A7SII. The shock mount is total junk. No isolation.
Maybe make a review and test dealing with Mic: handling noise issues 🙂
You should call the company to fine out how to pronounce their name
thanks for the mic tip, I have bought one!
Here we go again. me buying stuff because you say it’s great and show it’s great and affordable.
I wonder if this would work for an in-car microphone. Maybe attach it to the sun visor? Be interesting to see the pick up pattern difference to an NTG-3/4. Awesome video. How do you find these quirky bits of kit CP? Enlightening the DIY filmmaking world one purchase at time.
I would like to see how this performs compared to also really nice budget (although a bit bigger) microphone TAKSTAR SGC-598 🙂
You wouldn’t believe how much this costs from Amazon in Japan!!! Nearly ￥14000 which is about $140 I think.
This actually looks like it’s worth having in your production arsenal along with the video micro, definitely an amazing volume bump!
lol, in mexico they are more expensive… gg
Great find! Great video! Wondering if you have considered a comparison of budget teleprompters?
Really great video but it’s obviously pronounced moh-vo my dude. Like unless you see a U or two OOs in there it’s not MUVO
Can you do a review of the Sony PCM-D100 and compare it to Zoom H4n/H5/H6 and other TASCAM? 😀
Can you PLEASE do a comparison Takstar 598 vs. Movo VXR10???
hi can you please comare the Movo VXR10 to BOYA BY-MM1, are the just the SAME Mic? i really need to know because BOYA’s the only one available here. Thank you so much
I got the rode for 40
Looks identical to the Boya BY-MM1
Appears to be out of stock everywhere. There aren’t even any on eBay.
Hi Caleb, what’s the low frequency response like on the Movo? The Rode VideoMicro rolls off below 150Hz (its like having a permanent wind cut filter in circuit) which is a shame as the top end is wonderful. So I was wondering if the Movo gives better bass response than the Rode?
How would it compare to the Takstar SGC-598? Both cheap, but which one does sound better?
