Record selfies for social, run-and-gun mobile video, two-person interviews, stereo concerts, and more with the Comica Audio Traxshot, a versatile, camera-mount shountgun mic for DSLR/mirrorless cameras, and iOS/Android smartphone equipped with a headphone jack. This all-in-one microphone sports a clever dual-capsule design, allowing you to secure the best possible mic positioning for your specific needs, from TikTok videos to documenting your family vacation with clarity and poise.

Choose among four different modes depending on what kind of audio you want to record. The mic plugs into the 3.5mm TRS input of your camera, or the 3.5mm TRRS headphone jack of your smartphone. A dedicated 3.5mm headphone jack allows you to monitor audio straight from the mic whenever you want to. The built-in battery lasts up to 20 hours, and charges over USB. A built-in windshield effectively reduces ambient wind noise, and two outdoor furry windmuffs are supplied, as are all the cables you'll need—including the USB charging cable.

A True Multipurpose Mobile Mic
With its clever design, the mic lends itself to many different purposes. Capture selfie videos with clarity using the mono mode. Use the Tight Stereo mode for locational audio events, such as weddings or parties. The Wide Stereo mode is suitable for anything from concert recording to B-roll ambiance pickup. The Bidirectional Front/Rear mode is an ideal choice for two-person live interviews.
Multiple Mounting Options & Robust Build
The Comica Audio Traxshot features two separate mic capsules that can be independently oriented to capture the audio for a variety of purposes. The mic has an integrated shoe mount for your device. This shoe is outfitted with a proprietary Air-Float shockmount that absorbs vibrations in all directions, minimizing handling noise. You'll also find a 1/4"-20 thread at the bottom for mounting the mic on a tripod.

For outdoor shooting, a low-cut filter and two included furry windmuffs help reduce low-frequency noise caused by stronger wind and/or camera shake. The rugged, all-metal construction provides additional shielding against RF interference.
All the Controls You Need
The Traxshot features a continuously variable gain knob to adjust your recording level on the fly as well as a low-cut switch to ameliorate any low-frequency rumble issues. The 3.5mm audio output allows you to plug a set of headphones into the mic itself, so you can monitor the quality of your audio while shooting. A high-resolution IPS display clearly shows you the microphone status and battery life.

Comica Audio TRAXSHOT Reviews

Build quality is solid, seems to do do it's job fine

The construction is fine. it looks solid. But, it is not precise in it's rotation. If you point both mics in front, they are unbalanced in front, one mic is slighly lower. I mean, the build is not precise. Other than that, it's fine.

Nice Small Multi-Purpose Micorphone

Been seeking a stereo shotgun microphone for use with a video camera. Although the camera has a built-in microphone, the Traxshot offers much more flexibility for various pickup requirements. It's well built with good features, including a shock mount, and likely electret-condenser microphone capsules. It has a hefty output level however, so in some instances a limiter or attenuator beyond the adjustable volume control on the microphone may be needed. A good feature not mentioned is it can be charged while in use, so a remote 5 Volt power pack can provide additional power beyond it's approximately 20 hour operating time from a full charge of its internal lithium-ion rechargeable battery, if needed. The unit's software modifies the audio output characteristics for various microphone adjustment angles. If you need totally independent dual microphones, the T setting described as Bi-Directional mode seems to permit totally separate feeds from each microphone capsule without blending them with the software as all the other modes seem to do. And the microphones can be placed in any configuration position in that mode as well. I would rate this unit as Pro-Sumer. For the price, the unit does not appear designed to deliver live concert high quality audio fidelity. But for most applications from ENG to Weddings and similar recording situations with a single camera, this microphone is a good unit for the application. Time will tell how it holds up in the field.

Am exchanging it for another stock. Looking forward to it to perform as well as they promise.
