Compatibility: Ensure that the microphone is compatible with your camera or recording device. Some microphones require specific adapters or connectors to work with certain devices. This powerful but lightweight microphone features a Hytrel® Double Point Duo-Lyre® designed by Rycote team to isolate unwanted vibrations. High quality capture with wide frequency response range delivers superior quality sound recording. On-camera microphones are an essential tool for content creators, vloggers, and filmmakers who want to produce high-quality videos with clear and crisp audio. A low cut filter switch has a pre set frequency of 100Hz. When employed, this can alleviate unwanted rumble and low frequency thump noises. Generally, the Joby's sound output was okay. Its features draw it closer to the asking price, rather than the more affordable models mentioned above.
In terms of performance, though, I did feel the Joby was out performed by the Razer at half the price. The Wavo Pod’s sound is very much at the front of the soundstage and doesn’t appear to capture low frequencies nearly as well as the Razer, and the Joby's output has the sound characteristic of walky-talky. This could be acceptable for streaming, but for voiceover work or anything accompanying music, the Joby Wavo Pod doesn't sound the best mic for the job. It allows you to capture high-quality audio while recording video. This is crucial for creating engaging and professional-looking content, whether you're vlogging, creating online courses, or filming interviews. Built for storytellers, filmmakers and expert content creators, Wavo PRO is designed to pair with the latest camera hardware and brings broadcast-level audio performance to this dynamic and growing audience. Standing around 9.5-inches high, the Wavo Pod reaches a comfortable height to be level with my mouth on the supplied stand sat on my desktop, but this will obviously be dependent on the height of the table or desk it’s placed on. For the best movability you may prefer to fit it to a desk arm. Despite its rather chunky dimensions and weight at 1.58 pounds, it works fine on my setup but this may be something to consider for your own setup. Industry-standard USB Type-C connection for seamless, plug-and-play use with laptops, desktops, tablets and smartphones.Designed for the JOBY Wavo vlogging microphone, the Wavo Windjammer provides outstanding protection for outdoor use in applications such as vlogging, live streaming, Tiktoking and filming. The flagship Wavo PRO is designed as the ultimate audio capture solution for expert creators. JOBY leveraged design breakthroughs from its existing Wavo range to deliver the lightest microphone without sacrificing unprecedented performance. Hands-free audio capture with lav mics, including a unique JOBY designed mounting system that goes from magnetic mount lanyard, belt clip or cold shoe mount, to GorillaPod leg clip and many more.
The premium product is the Wavo Pro shotgun mic that looks as though it’s designed to compete with the popular Rode VideoMic Pro series. The shotgun is mounted in a Rycote Lyre (both Joby and Rycote are part of the Vitec/Manfrotto group) and comes with an active noise reduction system that cancels out ‘self-generated structural noise’ coming from the camera movements, a change of grip on the camera and wind noise. The microphone also has a safety channel feature that can set the left channel to 10dBs below the main level. This means that should something louder than expected happen the safety channel will be able to record it while the main channel peaks out.
A bigger issue is that the knob is not notched, so it’s difficult to know how large the adjustments you’re making are. A small microphone icon on the knob helps alleviate this a touch, although that’s mostly there to indicate that pushing the knob in mutes the microphone, and it’s difficult to tell if where it’s pointing relates to volume given that you can spin the knob a full 360 degrees. On-camera microphones can be either directional or omnidirectional. Directional microphones are designed to capture sound from a specific direction, making them ideal for vlogging or recording in noisy environments. Omnidirectional microphones, on the other hand, capture sound from all directions, making them ideal for capturing ambient sounds. Compatible out-of-the-box with smartphones and cameras using TRS and TRRS cables, and two transmitters for interviews. A pro-grade capsule and included foam windscreen creates crisp, warm and true tone audio, and removes vocal plosives or soft wind. The Joby Wavo Pod is a solid budget microphone, easily competing toe-to-toe with the current budget king, the Blue Yeti. Its compatibility with Joby’s ecosystem of accessories should make it an easy choice for any amateur content creators who’ve already got a few Joby tripods hanging around, or even anyone who doesn’t want to bother with a boom arm adapter, as the Wavo Pod comes with one out of the box. And yet, it doesn’t quite live up to all of its promises, especially with its noticeable but largely useless included pop filter.
An active noise reduction (ANR) system that leverages enhanced onboard Rycote technology to process and clear sounds made from on-the-go creation, removing self- generated structural noise. When I push the Blue Yeti’s mute button, it doesn’t show up on the recording at all, but that’s not the case with the Wavo Pod. Instead, pushing in the Wavo Pod’s combination volume knob/mute toggle creates a noticeable “thump” in your recording, similar to when you unplug a guitar from an amp. While not a problem for the occasional one-off muting, this is a huge red flag for anyone who likes to constantly use their hardware mute button in podcasts and other professional settings, like I do.
