Mobile USB-C Shotgun Microphone
$70
The Mobile Shotgun Microphone delivers crisp audio at an affordable price. It’s the kind of entry level mic you can count on - high fidelity audio quality, a compact mobile form factor, with plug-and-play USB-C connection options that work with the latest camera phones. Plug this mic directly into your phone or use the included 3in / 75mm USB-C cable for that extra extension. The super cardioid pickup pattern captures that crispy audio without picking up unwanted off camera sounds. We’ve also included a removable windscreen and cold shoe shock mount to mitigate handling and wind noise when you are on the go. Plus it ports into a laptop or tablet as a desktop interview mic, directly into your phone for vlogging, or part of your mobile cine rig when you want to capture epic moments.
Our Review
Mobile USB-C Shotgun Microphone — clean audio for vlogging in noisy travel destinations
The gist: A plug-and-play USB-C shotgun mic that cuts out street noise and crowd chatter so your travel vlogs sound as good as they look.
- Rejects off-camera noise: A super-cardioid pickup pattern focuses on what’s in front of the mic, filtering out market crowds, traffic, or wind at your back.
- True plug-and-play: Insert directly into your phone’s USB-C port, or use the included 3-inch USB-C extension cable if your case gets in the way.
- Built for handheld shooting: Includes a removable windscreen and cold shoe shock mount to cut handling noise and wind while walking and talking on camera.
- Real-time monitoring: A 3.5mm TRS headphone port lets you check your audio live instead of hoping it’s clean after the fact.
Per Moment’s own beginner’s review of the mic, it’s positioned as an affordable, high-fidelity entry point for mobile creators who’ve been relying on their phone’s built-in mic.
Best for: travel vloggers who film handheld in busy streets, markets, or windy outdoor locations. Skip it if: you shoot mostly static, quiet interior content where your phone’s stock mic already sounds fine. Runs ~$70 — check the current price before buying.
