JOBY Wavo PLUS On-Camera Microphone

The live audio monitoring is a game-changer for me—I can finally hear exactly what the mic is picking up while filming, so no more surprise background noise ruining a take. The build feels solid enough for run-and-gun shoots, and the auto-switching between sources has been seamless so far.

The live audio monitoring jack is what sold me, and it works exactly as hoped — I can plug in headphones and hear exactly what's being recorded instead of guessing. Picked up clean dialogue on a windy rooftop shoot with zero fiddling.

Battery life is honestly the standout for me, I filmed a full afternoon of outdoor clips and never had to swap the battery. The auto power-on when the camera starts recording means I've stopped fumbling for a switch mid-shoot.
