The Deity V-Mic D4 is a high-quality, affordable microphone that captures directional audio and rejects sounds coming from off-camera.
The D4 uses Deity’s new offset shock mount that helps minimize handling noise. The side-mounted USB-C output jack works great with a hybrid/DSLR camera or connects their mic to a PC for podcasting/streaming.
The V-Mic D4 also includes a new, upgraded foam pop filter with a reinforced rubber support backing plate. This gives the foam the strength it needs to support the included fur deadcat.

Now when you’re filming, and the action gets loud, you can smoothly fade into a -5dB pad to ensure you capture great-sounding audio. The D4 automatically detects when it’s plugged in and turns itself on and off accordingly.
The V-Mic D4 features Deity’s newest Smart Port 2.0 technology that allows it to adapt to more devices than any Deity video microphone prior. Smart Port 2.0 is a digital/analog hybrid output that works with both 3.5mm mic jacks or USB digital ports on laptops and smartphones.
A shockmount is something needed to prevent handling noise. The new microphone features a 1/4″ and 3/8″ mounting solution, so you can take the microphone off your camera and onto a boom pole or stand.
Sliding shock mount rails are also a cold shoe mount. Now you can mount your micro transmitters to your microphone to allow for a wireless boom setup. Compatible with the DJI Mic, RODE Wireless Go 2, Deity Pocket Wireless, and many more.
