What's up guys, my name is Jordy and welcome to the Cinecom channel.
If you're new behind me is a studio in which we shoot all of our videos
but if we go up we actually go to a secret studio.
So this right here is a lot of junk so don't mind that too much but behind this wall
is the famous blue studio
in which I've been working super hard over the past weeks as you can see
but pretty cool is that with this switch right here we can actually turn it into cozy.
What do you guys think of the brand new studio guys?
Let me know in the comments down below.
You can probably see it a lot better if I sit right here.
Pretty cozy right?
So this right here is a very weird looking microphone.
Let's talk about that.
this microphone right here is something pretty unique.
It comes with some very exciting features that I haven't seen in any microphone yet.
Now since Deity is sponsoring this video today I will not review this mic.
I will give an overview of what it can do so you can make your own opinion about that.
Oh yeah let's put that same mic here on the table as well.
There we go.
Normally we record our studio presentations here with the Audio Technica microphone over there
which is a $600 microphone
and now let's switch to the Deity.
There we go you're now listening to me through the Deity microphone which is a
Which is a $90 microphone so it's not really scientifically correct
this comparison but it just gives you an idea of
the difference between our normal studio recordings and this microphone right here.
All right the D3 Duo from Deity is a brand new microphone.
It doesn't come with a battery, it also doesn't need a battery which is great.
And it is built to put on top of your camera with the hot shoe or the cold shoe mount.
And then you just connect it to your camera and you're good to go.
Now of course with some creativity you can mount it anywhere you want
If you have a Boom Pole you can actually use that to attach it to the Duo mic.
Because this thread fits underneath the adapter.
Or if you don't have that you can also just use something like
a broom and attach the mic to that with some tape.
Well this looks stupid
but I guess if it looks stupid but it works
it ain't stupid.
You look stupid Yannick.
[Yannick cursing uncontrollably]
All right if you're new to the channel guys, that was Yannick.
Anyways one of the basic rules to get better audio is to bring your microphone
as close as possible to the subject but
that isn't always possible as your camera might sit far away.
What you can then do is place your microphone in your shot visible
and just remove it with a flick like that.
Now this is done by also shooting an empty shot where that mic isn't in my shot.
I then just placed that shot on top of my normal presentation
and using a mask I can just cut around that camera.
so it actually still sits there but you just can't see it.
So there are many different ways that you can use this microphone or basically
any other small mic on the market.
This is definitely great for you if you're starting out and you don't have the budget
to buy a different mic for every different task
but now that's not the coolest thing about this mic
It's called "Duo" for a reason.
And that is because there are actually two microphones which are sitting inside.
One is pointed forward and the other one is pointed backwards.
And that is specifically great for when you're vlogging as it will capture the audio in front of the camera
but also capture the audio behind the camera.
So you could speak while you're showing something to your audience
or you can just flip your camera over and talk to the lens to your audience
and still have a microphone pointed towards you.
And you know we actually have this camera right here laying around in the studio
with that mic attached to it so that we can just quickly grab it for some run and gun shooting.
Or to pull a prank on someone.
Boo!
-Boo Lorenzo!
-I hear you whispering Jordy.
-Oh damn it!
So yeah it's very nice to have this microphone right now.
You know, before we would have the Rode Videomic Pro Plus.
Which definitely has better sound quality to it
but it also is a microphone of I think around $300.
But I do prefer this one more just because it has that functionality of the two microphones.
Now if you don't want to use that rear mic, that is also possible.
You can actually turn a switch right here which will then only use the frontal mic.
If you do want to use the back mic then you just put it the other way
And what it will do right now is actually
output one signal to the right channel and the other to the left channel
And this is very important as that allows you to mix the audio in post-production.
Or even when you forget to disable the rear mic and you hear yourself breathing
you can just disable that channel again in post-production.
is that the most exciting feature?
No.
What makes this the most versatile mic
is probably the input jack.
So what you can do is insert a lavalier mic.
It will then send the signal of that lav mic to one channel
and the frontal mic of the Duo to the other.
The rear mic will be disabled though.
You can also hook up a wireless system if you like, anything that has a mini jack will work
and i think it's amazing that you don't need to lose the sounds from the frontal mic
because there's only one person who can have lavalier
and when someone else jumps into your shot and says something funny
you would not hear that because you've got a lav mic plugged into your camera.
That is my biggest frustration I think with any microphone in the market
That you would lose the internal or the
camera sounds because you have something else plugged into your camera.
This mic completely fixes that issue.
You retain that frontal mic that on board camera sound and you can just plug in here whatever you want.
And that is the Deity D4 Duo Mic.

and I really hope that you've enjoyed this video.
Thank you so much for watching
and as always
...
stay creative!
So this right here is a spider.
