DESIGNED for vloggers and filmmakers, the Joby Wavo Pro microphone hides some exciting features beneath its unconventional design, which are designed to make it easier to create high-quality audio without hours of post-production. Firstly, and perhaps most importantly, the mic automatically powers on and off in sync with the camera. Anyone who has ever experienced the pain of forgetting to switch on their external microphone will appreciate this. Additional reassurance comes in the form of LED lights, including a front-facing one, highlighting that the mic is working.

Additional security comes with the option of Safety Track recording. This records the audio on the right channel at 10db less than the left channel, so hopefully, the right channel won't suffer from any clipping if there are sudden loud noises. Nearly all of the microphone's features, including a +10db and +20db level boost, can be changed via buttons on the rear and base, but it's easier to use the Wavo Pro smartphone app.
