Good noise cancelation
It worked great on my Google Pixel 10 Pro XL using camera pro app. I use this with USB C cable.

Annoying selector moves too easily
Mic is fine, good not great. My issue is that the digital to analog selection sliding switch is easily or accidentally moved. I use with analog to my camera but several times it get moved to digital so my recording end up without audio. Annoying the monitor I use shows audio jumping around but when in digital mode and hooked up as analog it's unusable audio.

Versital mic
When I do multi-camera shoots, I like to have top-mounted mics to capture live sound, and this is one of the mics I've been using at different events. So far, I haven’t used it with the included wind muff (dead cat) since all of the events have been indoors.
One unique feature of this mic is that it can capture audio either digitally or via analog. I’ve only used the analog side so far, primarily with my GH5 cameras. It does a great job of capturing audio, though I usually don’t use that audio unless there’s an emergency—like if my main audio track gets corrupted. In that case, I can run the backup through AI to salvage the sound.
I’ve been doing this for years as a backup system, and it’s saved me from headaches more than once. Most importantly, it helps me sync up audio from my lapel mics, which is a godsend when editing.
The mic is well built, comes with its own case, and the shock mount effectively eliminates any vibration noise from reaching the mic itself. It’s a great backup and even works well as a primary mic if you don’t have time to mic someone up properly. The wind muff (dead cat) also performs well in moderate wind conditions.
All in all, it’s a solid mic that comes with a handy case to keep everything organized in one place.

Garbage Shockmount
Shockmount fell apart in less than 60 days. WOW.
Double WOW. After my review, Comica reached out to me and replaced my VM 10 PRO MIC. COMICA is a "WORLD LEADER IN CUSTOMER SERVICE". FIVE 🌟

Not a PRO device
The gain doesn't work that well and it only works on usb. The mic comes with no audio software or drivers which means every device sounds completely different and you have to spend hours trying to adjust settings to get it to function properly tested on 2 different laptops.
For example, one of my laptops has AI noise cancel features and it completely breaks the sound quality on first plug n play. It register as a "headset" device which causes compatibility/recording quality issues with some devices for example my Oneplus phone.... Also you have to keep adjusting the output device setting every time you plug it in because it registers as a headset. It doesn't have mounting equipment like a male/male adapter and rubber washer which i had to order separately. I had to order a usb c - 3.5mm adapter since its not included and that's a mess because it sounds like trash and now im a PRO 3.5mm usbc cable adapter tester.
It works and the build quality is decent enough but the feature set is gimmicky defiantly needs a new revision. I probably could of got a really cheap usb mic that wasn't far off from this device sound quality.
I recommend spending a little more on a mic and getting access to PROduction software & features. I wouldn't get this as your first PRO mic it takes a lot of set up and didn't deliver in my opinion.. I resorted to just using my phone audio again... since this doesn't have a internal recording feature not really sure if i can make use of it with all the non user friendly set up.

Good microphone!
Comes in a nice zipper hard shell case, with analog and USBC cables, WindGuard, cold shoe mount, It has a headphone /analog out you could for monitoring. Even has a volume control on the microphone itself for on the fly adjustment. It's very easy to use, It looks nice, sound quality is great! And it's small enough to use with a smartphone in a gimbal with a cold shoe mount. I used it to shoot some 4K video with audio for part of a movie. I was very happy with the performance of this microphone.

Microfono para cámara
Compre este micrófono para la grabación de un baby shower. La verdad me sorprendió mucho. El registro de audio es muy bueno y mejora totalmente a la grabación que tiene de la cámara por defecto. Solo lo eh usado en grabaciones en exteriores y se desempeña muy bien. El único problema que le veo; es que la perilla que mide la ganancia no tiene una referencia de que tanto estamos disminuyendo o aumentando la ganancia. Por otro lado el material es plástico y se siente bien para el precio que tiene. Si tienes una cámara con la entrada de micrófono de 2.5 mm, te recomiendo comprar un adaptador.

No USB-C adapter
Kit was missing the stated usb-c to usb-c adapter necessary to connect to an Andriod device as advertised. Just be aware.

Great little mic. No power needed.
This is my 3rd Comica purchase and I am again happy with the performance of this microphone. The overall quality of the build is great as well. It doesn’t feel cheap and seems like I can have it for a while. I like the fact that it has a working gain control adjustment although it doesn’t need power. Just plug into your 3.5mm audio jack and record. Price definitely matches the quality.

Really Good Sound Quality
For this type of compact microphone, the sound quality is actually really good. I like that you don't need to charge it to use it. I like the build quality, it's really good, made of aluminum. It includes a case, cables, windshield, and a shock mount adapter. What I didn't like about the microphone, is the digital function, it only works with phones that have USB-C ports. No adapter is included for my iPhone 12 and last the gain knob doesn't work in analog mode only in digital mode. Overall, since I'll primarily be using it with my mirrorless digital cameras, this mic is excellent value for money.

Not A Shotgun Microphone, Selling Points are Only for Digital (USB-C) Users
Frankly all the sell points for this mic are only available when using the digital options and the addition of analog compatibility is clearly much more of an after thought than a selling point. If you are looking for a versatile microphone for a dedicated camera (unless you have usb-c microphone capability) or you lack a usb-c connector on your phone there are better options out there in this price range and even from this brand (Comica CVM-V30 Pro) for a dedicated camera. If you need a decent portable podcast mic, or you have a phone rig setup that uses a hot shoe mount (or trip screw mount) then this mic is for you. If like me you want a mic for a dedicated camera or don't have usb-c then this mic isn't for you and you can see why below.
First of all this is not a "shotgun" microphone, and it in no way functions like a shotgun microphone would. This is a Cardioid microphone, this is an important distinction because it impacts where and how you pick up audio from the microphone. With a cardioid microphone like this you will pick up audio from the sides and even behind the microphone. The best audio for this microphone will come from the front but it will still pick up ambient noise from the sides, where a shotgun mic is designed to specifically reduce noise from anywhere that isn't in front of it. There is plenty of material out there on what the actual technical specs and pickup patterns are for a cardioid microphone out there if you really want to know what you are getting with a cardioid mic. However, manufacturers need to stop labeling any stick shaped microphone that goes on top of a camera as a "shotgun" mic it is inaccurate and misleading for those who don't know better.
With that rant out of the way, the audio you do receive from this microphone is acceptable mounted on top of the camera, however it could use to be mounted further forward to prevent the possibility of picking up noise from the lens if using autofocus. Unfortunately this microphone only really shines when used digitally and is average or just below average for analog use. Be aware if you plan to, or have to, use analog audio from this you will not be able to monitor the audio with headphones unless your camera (or phone) has it's own port for that purpose (The movo VXR10-Pro has both audio out and headphone monitoring ports, at this price point). You will not be able to control the gain/volume directly from the microphone, not even a +10db adjustment that is common even on microphones in this price range (the Comica CVM-V30 Pro mentioned above is $6 cheaper with this feature, along with an option to not boost gain when there isn't a prominent audio source). Maybe a trivial issue but the led power indicator that lights up when using with usb-c, does nothing at all when used with digital. The final issue I have with this is that the analog/digital selector slides fairly easily and I found more than once when attaching the microphone to those shock mount after storage that I switched to digital output by accident.
Oh the positive side this does have the full metal construction mentioned in the description (the exception being the shock mount, which isn't surprising), this definitely doesn't feel like cheap plastic either with a noticeable heft and quality feel. Finally the travel case is absolutely superb, by far the best travel/storage case i've seen on a microphone at this price point including larger microphones at this price point.

I love the flexible connections
This kit works with all of my devices: my action camera, DSLR, laptop, and phone. The setup was simple, and the sound quality is fantastic for both vlogging and voice-overs.
My only complaint is that the gain dial can come loose. You just have to keep an eye on it.

Amazing budget micro mic for my camera
I was reluctant to get this mic but I'm glad I did. My other mic is much larger and I was concerned about the quality of the sound. After doing research I went with this mic. The volume control is amazing, turns on with the camera, and it works with my computer if I wanted to use it as an on the go podcasting mic. This is a great all around mic for all my content creation needs. I'd definitely recommend. (And the case it comes in is quality)

Clean crisp sound!
As always, Comica has come through again. With this shotgun mic, you have the ability to plug in your cell phone, camera, etc. The digital and analog setting both sound amazingly clear and crisp. I have different shotgun mics I use but this one will be moving up to my main one to use. No airy noise or static /dead air sound. Just clean and crisp audio.

Rode what?
The Comica VM10 pro is an amazing little mic. I compared it to my Rode VideoMic Go II, and the Comica held its own very well.
The size comparison between these two are very noticeable. The Comica is much more compact and slightly lighter than the Rode. The Comica has a lower profile which will pair well with a gimbal mounted camera, by allowing you to keep your center of gravity. The mount for the Comica is a little more centered and balances the mic very well and adds dampening while walking when hand holding the camera.
The Comica VM10 Pro allows for three different connection types, which is the same as the Rode VideoMic Go II. These two mics sharing the same connection types make them perfect for comparison. Two of the connections types are analog 3.5mm trs and trrs. TRS is for your camera audio connection and TRRS is for your cellphone connection, but nowadays not many phones come with a 3.5mm port so that’s when the third connection type is beneficial. That is the USB-C connection which is a digital signal that can be used for newer devices when you want improved audio quality. There is a switch on top of the mic labeled as analog/digital. You must switch to the correct mode in order to get audio. That is the only downside to the Comica when compared to the Rode. The Rode will automatically switch depending on your connection type so that you do not accidentally forget to change the settings and miss out on all your audio.
The audio quality between these two mics are very similar. The Comica, at half the price of the Rode, offers outstanding audio quality. The Comica also has a volume gain knob on the top that allows you to adjust your gain, so that you can manually control the audio levels going into your camera/device and avoid clipping. This is a major feature that allows you to quickly adjust your levels without having to go into the camera settings.
The Comica VM10 Pro when compared to the Rode VideoMic Go II is a steal. At half the price, the Comica gives you comparable audio quality, a more compact design, all the connectivity you need to future-proof your mic, and it also comes with a cool travel case that keeps everything safe and ready to go. With everything the Comica has to offer, you can not go wrong with it.

Nice mic kit for interviews and vlogging
I've been using a smartphone for capturing interview audio and for basic B-roll. I've been trying out some different mics, and this Comica V10 Pro caught my attention. I'm glad it did!
This comes in a nice protective case, with...
-mini shotgun cardioid mic
-shock mount with cold shoe adapter
-dead cat wind muff
-TRS/TRS cable
-TRS-TRRS cable
-USB-C to USB-C cable
Sound is clean with adjustable gain; I didn't need to use this much for my shots though. Monitoring via headphones was easy, and it's nice to see an Analog Out option, but I don't know what the voltage levels are from the instructions.
One REALLY nice and simple feature is the Status Light on the mic barrel. It is great to have some sort of confirmation that your mic is actually working!
Overall, I'm very impressed by this kit. I'm not familiar with Comica, but the fit and finish of the mic and the case shows me that they care about their product instead of offering the lowest quality. I'll definitely be looking at their other products in the future!

This Shotgun Microphone is really easy to use.
The Comica VM10 PRO shotgun microphone you have analog and digital settings that are easy to switch to.
You also have gain control for your volume and audio monitoring when using digital. This shotgun microphone has lots of useful settings for the kind of sound you might be looking for.
And the quality is amazing well made.
