Just about anything with a 3.5mm microphone jack
The D3 Pro will work with phones, tablets, DSLRs, body pack transmitters. We have tested it on a dozen DSLR models, two dozen phones, a handful of Android-based tablets, and the microphone inputs on laptops. When plugged into devices that have a stereo microphone input, the V-Mic D3 Pro outputs dual mono tracks.
Internal Battery
Inside the V-Mic D3 Pro lives a 320mAh lithium-ion battery. Run time for the V-Mic D3 Pro is 51 hours and standby time is 74 hours. The battery is charged in a little less than 2 hours.
The World’s FIRST Microphone with a Stepless Gain Knob
The V-Mic D3 Pro features a +20dB step-less analog gain adjustment dial. On each side of the dial the V-Mic D3 Pro features a bump guard that helps prevent the dial from being accidentally rotated. The +20dB of gain is added on a linear scale so you can dial in the exact amount of gain you need for each shot.
Since April 2021, the packaging has been changed into the yellow shown on the left by manufacturer of Deity. Without carry bag any more.

As a nightlife videographer, capturing high-quality audio in loud, chaotic environments like clubs can be a challenge. The Deity V-Mic D3 Pro has been a game-changer for my workflow, delivering exceptional performance in high-volume settings while remaining versatile and easy to use. Here’s my detailed review based on extensive use.ProsSuperb Audio Quality in Loud Environments: The supercardioid pickup pattern excels at isolating the sound source directly in front of the mic while rejecting background noise. It handles high sound pressure levels (up to 130dB SPL) without distortion, making it perfect for capturing crisp audio in noisy clubs910.Adjustable Gain Knob: The stepless gain adjustment dial is a standout feature, allowing precise control over audio levels. This is especially useful when transitioning between quieter interviews and booming dance floors59.Durable Build: The aluminum housing feels solid and professional, ensuring the mic can handle the wear and tear of nightlife shoots9.Long Battery Life: The built-in lithium-ion battery provides an impressive 51 hours of runtime on a full charge, so I never have to worry about it dying during long gigs9.USB-C Charging: Quick and convenient charging ensures minimal downtime between shoots9.Compact and Lightweight: Despite its robust build, the mic is lightweight and easy to mount on my camera rig without adding bulk.ConsManual Power-On: The mic doesn’t have an auto-power feature, so you need to remember to turn it on before shooting. While minor, it can be inconvenient in fast-paced environments39.Interference Sensitivity: In some cases, the mic may pick up interference when using unbalanced 3.5mm cables. Using an XLR adapter like the Deity VXLR can help mitigate this issue56.Price Point: While not the cheapest option on the market, its features justify the cost for professionals. However, it may not be ideal for beginners on a tight budget5.Overall ImpressionThe Deity V-Mic D3 Pro is an outstanding microphone for nightlife videographers who need reliable performance in high-volume environments. Its ability to capture clear, distortion-free audio amidst loud music and chatter makes it a must-have tool for club shoots. The adjustable gain knob, long battery life, and durable design further enhance its value.If you’re looking for a versatile shotgun mic that excels in challenging audio conditions, the Deity V-Mic D3 Pro is worth every penny. It has become an essential part of my kit, and I highly recommend it to anyone working in similar environments.Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

This is the second one of these ive bought. I foolishly sold my first one. This one doesnt come with the awesome case my first one did which was super nice to have to pack it around with your gear. Idk if they sell the cases but id like to find one.About the case im talking about, the only draw back to it was it didnt have space to carry the dead cat.

It's going back. It sounds good, got lots of volume, built in battery is kind of good idea, unless it dies, but it's useless, because it picks up all kinds of interference, from bluetooth, radio, etc.A/B compared with Rode video mic pro, and while this was more directional and sounded slightly better, Rode had none of the interference issues. How do you not shield a shotgun microphone?

Soddisfattissimo del prodotto. Ho usato per anni un videomic Røde e devo dire che questo è molto meglio. Nessun problema di compatibilità con una Canon R6, 50 ore di utilizzo una volta caricata la batteria, rotellina del gain regolabile, confezione robusta e pratica.

Das Micro ist eins meiner liebsten, allerdings verkauft der Verkäufer hier leider die alte Version, die sich nach 15 Minuten Standby komplett abschaltet. Deity hat das bereits Ende 2019 geändert. Wer nicht nonstop sein Audio kontrolliert sollte sich auf stumme Audio Kanäle einstellen. Sehr schade.

I bought this after being disappointed by the Rode Videomic Go that was included in an M50 creator kit. Pound for pound this mic is 1000x better than buying any Rode mic in my opinion. You do have to remember to manually turn it on, but there is little to no interference from external electronics and the sound quality is excellent. It’s worth noting that this particular offering includes a hard nylon case which is partitioned nicely, as well as a dead cat that fits perfectly and comes in it’s own protective sleeve (I don’t believe other sellers include this and it definitely comes in handy outside). I would note that if you receive this item and the dead cat is stored in the hard case, you may find that the foam mic cover is deformed, simply remove the dead at and store it separately for a day or two and the memory of the foam will return it to its proper shape.

Not sure if "sheerness" or "warmth" are how I would describe this mic, but I didn't want to get it anything less than 5 stars in any category. This mic is incredible; especially for the price. I have used it attached to my camera and also as a boom mic, and with proper placement, using the gain knob, and proper camera audio settings, this is hard to beat. Especially being able to plug directly into the camera. If you need XLR, I know that Deity makes an adapter for this. The stepless gain knob is a really great feature. Likely, you'll just set and forget, but being able to make small tweaks during a shot can be a life saver if the shot is great.Sound quality is amazing. I wouldn't say it's bright or warm. Somewhere in between. I'm not sure if it's the mic or my camera (Sony A6400) but there seems to be some compression to the sound, but it's not anything I'd complain about. I usually add some compression in post production, but I barely have to any now if at all. It's also very balanced. I do not have to do much EQ at all with this mic. I also have a RODE NTG-2 and would choose the Deity over the RODE any day.It seems very durable. The enclosure is some type of metal. It is very light. USB-C charging is fast and a very nice feature. Eventually the mic will stop holding a charge, but that will take quite a long time. I have contacted Deity and you are able to contact them for battery replacement when that day comes. They have locations in the US and I was told turn around is about a week. The Rycote shockmount is very good and will fit on camera coldshoes. If you use a Sony camera with a flip up screen, it would be smart to invest in a cage. Otherwise you won't be able to flip up your screen. SmallRig makes great ones for a very reasonable price. The case is very nice and will fit in most camera bags. It holds everything in the mic kit. I haven't used the dead cat yet. However, due to its size, it seems intended to use OVER the foam wind screen. Deity has suggested accessories on their website and they include some 3rd party dead cats.Overall, this is a fantastic mic package at a great price. If it's ever under $200 it would be an absolute steal, but the regular price point is very fair. If you're in the market for a camera mic and this is one you've been considering, just do it.

Das Produkt ist grundsätzlich sehr gut, allerdings kann ich keine bessere Bewertung abgeben, weil es nach relativ kurzer Zeit (nach ca. 4 Monaten) und nur sehr wenigen Einsätzen defekt war, vor allem aber, weil der Verkäufer einen extrem schlechten Service bietet. Nach ewigem hin und her hab ich eine Adresse bekommen an die ich das Gerät retournieren konnte und jetzt (nach ca. 3 Wochen) warte ich immer noch was passiert. Ich habe weder ein Ersatzgerät noch sonst einen Lösungsvorschlag bekommen, obwohl ich das Gerät dringend brauche.
