I stream on Twitch (OmniDirectionalGaming if anyone wants to check it out) and work remote 50% of the time, and this mic has CHANGED the game for me. The sound is so incredibly clear, the boom arm is sturdy, and everything about this mic is solid. One of my friends who has spent >600 USD on his audio / mic set up said this $200 mic kit made him embarrassed. 5/5 stars.
I am a fledgling vlogger and had been using my gaming headset mic to record narrations. Just awful feedback and zero clarity. Buying the VO-7U was the best choice I could have made. I watched several YouTube reviews on microphones and settled on this one. My narrations are now crispy clear, have nice undertones, and there is absolutely no static or unwanted noise or distortion. I am definitely sticking with the VO-7U!
I was buying microphones to get “the one” that would drown out the AC noise in the room. Wisdom dictates you control the sound before you buy any microphone. But I am happy with the microphone with it’s sound with no need for software - just plug and play. Plus the cool ring LED with many options. A great buy!
Just purchased the mini dome II and love it! Very compact and easy to open and close. I use it on my LS 60d, 3 point light kit and the mini dome II makes a great key light. I would highly recommend this Aputure accessory.
I am planning to start streaming on twitch soon and needed a good mic that doesn't take up a lot of space and doesn't pick up my pc fans. I consider myself an amateur when it comes to things like audio but with a little tweaking it came out pretty damn good. It doesn't pick up ANY of my PC fan noise which is amazing seeing as how it is near me and I have 11 fans all going 90% when playing games. It is an amazing deal for the price.
These lights are sick. Paired with the 120d and Amaran Tri-8’s my lighting kit is solid. I love how bright these little guys are. The only thing I wish is that they came with a remote. Whereas I’m not always out use to using my phone during shoots and if I am it’s too control music during music video shoots. Other than that these lights are great for pros and beginners.
I bought the Deity W. Lav Pro as a upgrade to my Tascam TM-10L that came with my TASCAM DR-10L and the results were night and day. This microphone is wonderful for my voice, and sounds way more like my natural speaking tone.
I've been working professionally as a Gaffer for a number of years, using Arri, Creamsource and the like. Recently, I have been putting a documentary together as a personal passion project and was looking for a lower powered unit as my native base iso is 640 or 4000. I chose this kit because with the addition of a few kit stands it is a grab and go solution. The color matching function, magenta/green adjustments and Sidus link make it ideal for content creators with limited crew. The included softboxes and grids provide even and controllable results. The ability to dial in colors to make backgrounds subtly blend in or specific items pop is a distinct advantage. While they don't offer dmx, for the independent filmmaker looking for an affordable solution with the pedigree of Aputure, these Amaran units are ideal.
