There is a workaround with the smartphone situation. I plug my RODE VideoMicro into the Deity HD-TX. It will allow you to record with the front and back capsule. It’s ultra portable, and budget friendly with great, ultra low noise preamps. The whole setup would cost about $350. Not bad, considering my Sennheiser 416 cost me $1,000😒😂
What you need to make it great with smartphones is Saramonic SR-C2000 cable for iPhone or SR-C2001 cable for iPad/Android. Both cables are stereo and plug-n-play too. Which means the moment you plug it in Filmic Pro will switch to external mic.
I bought the Saramonic SR-C2000 3.5mm TRS to Lightning Adapter Cable and I can confirm that it works with the Deity D4 DUO and both mics work! Thank you for this comment! My only issue now is trying to figure out how to separate the audio into two files
@@iphoneographers Because of both your comments, I actually bought both and tested to see if it would work and it DID! Thank you both. I just need help figuring out how to separate the audio file into two files so I can get the front and back mic into different files instead of one file
Thanks so much for this comment. I had my heart set on this mic to use with my phone but then I got sad when I saw this review and thought, surely there must be an adapter. But perhaps because it's such a surprisingly uncommon use-case, none of the usb-c dongles seemed to clearly advertised whether they can handle stereo audio input. You saved me so much hassle. Just tried mine and can confirm that it works. Thank you again!
Not many reviews picked up on that smartphone limitation. I was pretty excited for this mic and I may still get it but I'm in no rush. QUESTION Any idea if a new rode wireless mic system is coming soon ish? To replace the one you mentioned in the video.
Don’t know about Rode, but wouldn’t be surprised if they release a V2 that allows for two mic recording into one receiver. That’s the trend now with Comica and Hollyland LARK 150 (btw, these are very good - did a video on them, too).
Yeah that’s right and the reason there were quotes around “Stereo” and “Mono” as wasn’t sure what the name of the switches were (this is a pre-release mic with no instructions). Will say the front capsule didn’t seem like stereo though. Planning some more testing and comparing to other similar mics.
Interestingly too the front mic isn’t true stereo as I’ve since learned. It does record two tracks, but their identical (just panned left & right) and so really it’s more what I’d typically call dual mono. Either way it’s got some cool functionality and would probably recommend using it with both mics (front + rear) most of the time anyway. 👍🏻
Thanks! The mic is great for traditional cameras but currently not for smartphones. Works fine but you don’t get the advantage of the dual front & rear mics - hopefully they’ll create an adapter that will make it work though!
for iPhone what cable need for deity? Also, can you use Rode wireless go for front mic and just rotate the deity front mic to person behind the camera ?
iPhoneographers thank you for the answer! I Your video is awesome 😊😊 Oh one last question, if I were to connect to iphone with sc7, do I flick the switch to front mic in deity duo 4 or both mic? Or doesn't matter?
I used the duo with a lavalier and a sony camera, but when my subject was silent it raised the volume increasing the noise and when the person started talking there's noise and a saturated voice, It gradually reduced the saturation till back to normal. Anyone had this issue?
Dang that stinks. I bought their high powered v mic d3 waaaaay before rode upgraded their little shotgun mic. Was hoping to buy this for my multi iPhone set up but if the back mic doesn’t work I will probably buy rode’s little baby shotgun her in the next couple weeks.
Yeah it’s a quality mic otherwise. Been using it a lot. But feel that was a pretty big omission for a compact affordable mic like this not fully working with smartphones. Guessing they’ll have an adapter coming in the future.
Hi, is it normal to hear like a huming or static sound. I connected the mic to my phone using a rode TRS to TRRS just like you. I'm using only the front mic.
Wonderful video, thanks to share it. I use Lumix GH6, do you know it and its ampli? In your opinion can I use Deity nic.? However, I never have to speak in front of the microphone (no vlogging), I only make documentaries but not in the city. I shoot working people in the open and remote countryside.Would you use a wind protection? Thanks.
Yes I’m familiar with that camera. This mic could work fine or you might look at a similar RODE like this amzn.to/3Rpwyma. You definitely want to use a windscreen when shooting outside too. Thanks for watching!
thank god i watched this video else i was going to buy it for smartphone to solve the issue for which this mic is made btw thumbs up i will now go with deity d3 pro ❤️
Hanzla Amjad i've seen another vid that shows this works on the test android phone, i forgot if it was a pixel or samsung. the limitations lie in the test iphone used in that vid... something about hardware or software i forgot. edit: nvm i can't find the vid
Hanzla Amjad sorry, i have history turned off. also, i've tried searching for the vid, but can't find it. on deity's website, it hasn't listed any smartphone as compatible for both front and back mic. i swear i seen a yt review saying the d4 duo works on their android and not their iphone, reason i remember is because i was planning to get a pixel4a just for this reason. sorry to get your hopes up high, i'll update this comment if i find that vid later on at night.
Oh, thank you soooo much!! I do tend to grab my note9 too often for impromptu vids. It's good to know this may not work! I'm not sure if it will work with my budget ThiEye T5e action camera then either? I'll stick with the mics I have now then. This really helped! I may consider it for the future for my camera, but for now, it's not necessary then.
I couldn't get it to work at all with my Samsung Note 10+, even with the Samsung DAC adapter and TRS-TRRS cable. I tried it with my last phone (LG G7), which still has a headphone jack. Both channels work this way.
Pity about the limited functionality for phones. The price is right-$30 more than the Rode Video micro. Could you retest on a phone that still has 2.5mm jack?
I'd rather use a multi input preamp. Currently have the Centrance R4R with two XLR inputs, gain control, built in recorder and headphone preamp for monitoring incoming sound before it goes to its source. The preamp is really clean making it ideal for setup with midrange mic. It's also portable and can be used for attaching to person with lav mic making it a cheaper way to get "wireless" sound and just add in sound in post later. Personally, I'd rather go that route than this mic trying to be an all in one but not able to get the basics down with a smartphone.

Would it work with a GoPro? With the dual audio setup

I might be wrong but it should be dual mono (single front + single back) and the stereo is front capsule only.
Yeah that’s right and the reason there were quotes around “Stereo” and “Mono” as wasn’t sure what the name of the switches were (this is a pre-release mic with no instructions). Will say the front capsule didn’t seem like stereo though. Planning some more testing and comparing to other similar mics.
@@iphoneographers that's hard to figure out with no instructions. I would thought the single is mono without the instructions
Interestingly too the front mic isn’t true stereo as I’ve since learned.

Is there a difference to the Deity D4 Mini in terms of Sound quality just comparing both front mics?
Haven’t noticed any
Congrats on 100K
Thanks!
Well done Blake. Am pleased to be one of your 100,000 subscribers. I was going to get one of those Diety mics. You’ve talked me out of it.
Thanks! The mic is great for traditional cameras but currently not for smartphones. Works fine but you don’t get the advantage of the dual front & rear mics - hopefully they’ll create an adapter that will make it work though!
for iPhone what cable need for deity? Also, can you use Rode wireless go for front mic and just rotate the deity front mic to person behind the camera ?
TRS to TRRS with a Lightning adapter. Currently there’s no way with a phone to get discrete tracks (without using a go between device).
iPhoneographers so with Rode wireless Go would be great combination then?
Rode Wireless Go works fine with iPhone by itself, but not with the Deity mic here.
iPhoneographers thank you for the answer! I Your video is awesome 😊😊
Oh one last question, if I were to connect to iphone with sc7, do I flick the switch to front mic in deity duo 4 or both mic? Or doesn't matter?
Doesn’t seem to matter when using a phone as only the front mic works either way. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Will the lav mic work with this microphone on a smartphone or does it have to be able to use the dual channels to work?
I used the duo with a lavalier and a sony camera, but when my subject was silent it raised the volume increasing the noise and when the person started talking there's noise and a saturated voice, It gradually reduced the saturation till back to normal. Anyone had this issue?
Does it still not work in stereo with cell phones?
Hello, I am having a trouble with deity when plugging lavalier too, the sound only record to L channel, not the right. Is there a way to fix it?
nice little mic, shame it doesn't work on a phone though. about to grab a movo myself
I’m so confused which mic to get for iPhone vlogging? Can you help?
I like and use this one, it’s great… ua-cam.com/video/4AidvmI4n2c/v-deo.html

so THAT'S why my audio sucked so bad with this thing....I shoot with a smartphone, and I was realllllly disappointed with the performance of this mic
Yeah only one side works with a phone. Hoping they create an adapter to allow both sides!
I have the Deity D3 I use with phone works great for me I’m glad didn’t buy this D4 duo because of the issues with phone
