Movo Smartphone Video Kit V7 with Grip Rig, Pro Stereo Microphone, LED Light & Wireless Remote - for iPhone 5, 5C, 5S, 6, 6S, 7, 8, X, XS, XS Max, Samsung Galaxy, Note & More

I purchased this item as a content creator needing something easy to use on the go. No regrets. It is excellent. You don't need anything else if you are on the go. Beach, nature, car etc.

The media could not be loaded.  I purchased the Movo VXR50 (Smartphone Video Rig Kit V7), LPM100, & VXR10 to compare.The VXR50 (Smartphone Video Rig Kit V7) sounded the best although I would not say it's a slam dunk over the other two or even the iPhoneXS built-in mic… but it was better especially since the mic can be pointed to the subject unlike the iPhone's internal mic. The VXR50 appears well made and solid; it's also the longest of all three but is also the only that requires a battery which will undoubtedly go dead when it's most needed. I did not find this mic as a standalone product but only as part of the V7 kit. The bluetooth remote control included with the kit felt solid and worked very well with the iPhoneXS but needs to be manually paired every time the remote is turned on. The light was not useful—it has three brightness settings but feels like a flashlight pointed at my face so it was more annoying than an enhancement. The clamping phone holder looks nice and is capable of holding the iPhoneXS but anything bigger will either not fit or not feel secure. Everything comes in a nice zippered semi-hard case which I always appreciate even if I repurpose it for another use. I did not find the other accessories useful but maybe you will. The combined mic, remote, and holder make the price reasonable and I’m happy enough with this kit, that I will be keeping it.The LPM100 was my least favorite. The audio sounded artificial, like listening to speakers that are out of phase—if you close your eyes and listen, none of the sounds can be located—it’s all mish-mashed and ends up sounding like a blob. This flaw was enough for me to reject the LPM100. The second flaw was the lighting plug: while it did seat in my iPhoneXS with a medium thickness case, it did not feel secure, and if I was moving about, I would constantly worry that it would fall off, or if accidentally knocked around that it might break off. I don't think this is Movo's fault, just inherent in this kind of connection. I doubt modestly larger phone cases would allow the lighting plug to seat properly.The VXR10 was a slight improvement over the iPhoneXS internal microphone but for me, that small improvement is not worth the price and hassle of using the VXR10 while mobile. For recordings using a tripod, the sounds was an improvement since the iPhone's mic is pointed perpendicular to the subject while the VXR10 (like most external mics) is pointed directly to the subject. This was the only mono (non stereo) mic in my comparison although many professionals believe stereo sound is not required for vlogging or youtube. The mic was packaged well and looks durable. I would easily pick this mic over the LPM100. If cost was a large factor, I would also pick this over the VXR50.The attached video demonstrates the sound. All recordings were done on the same day, in the same environment, and at the same distance. The audio has not been enhanced or adjusted for the video (no level boosts/cuts). The finger snaps are for testing the stereo separation of the mics.All equipment was purchased on Amazon at the same time.

Es un soporte perfecto para grabar con el móvil o para videoconferencias manos libres. El micrófono es bueno y tiene calidad comparándolo con micrófonos más caros y desde luego bastante más calidad que el micro incorporado del teléfono, viene con un "antipop" de espuma y un paravientos de "pelos", se caen con facilidad, cuidado. El conector del micrófono es TRS, va muy bien para cámara de vídeo o DSLR, incluye un adpatador de TRS a TRRS para que puedas conectarlo al conector jack del móvil. El minifoco LED tiene tres intensidades de iluminación seleccionables con interruptor y se carga mediante cable micro USB incluido. Cumple su función, aunque un poco justito, de noche ideal, de día no vale para rellenar sombras. Lo utilizo con un Samsung Galaxy S9+ en horizontal. La empuñadura tiene una rosca estándar (1/4") para trípode. No he utilizado el mando a distancia. Para guardarlo o transportarlo incluye un estuche negro con cremallera. Tanto el mando a distancia, como el micrófono, incluyen una pila de botón (LR44).

The media could not be loaded.  I like that it has great sound quality and its easy to assemble and use. I wish I got one with stabilization maybe the next one... But this is working out just fine...

It's a decent grip rig. Assembly was somewhat easy; the mic comes with a battery, but not pre-installed, so make sure to install the battery (and turn it on) or else you won't get any audio recorded. I was a bit surprised that the grip is so small; I read the reviews about people saying it was small, but I have small hands, so I didn't think anything of it. Needless to say, the grip is indeed small, even for my small hands. So I can't imagine how someone with larger hands will be able to grip this, with confidence it won't slip or shake excessively.
