Joby Wavo

Joby Wavo Shotgun Microphone

Eliminate the audio quality gap that separates amateur from professional content. The Joby Wavo shotgun microphone transforms your DSLR or mirrorless camera into a complete content creation powerhouse, solving the universal problem of poor built-in camera audio that ruins otherwise perfect footage.

This compact directional condenser microphone captures broadcast-quality audio with its supercardioid polar pattern, focusing precisely on your subject while rejecting ambient noise from sides and rear. At just 50 grams, the Wavo integrates seamlessly onto any camera's cold shoe mount without affecting balance or mobility during shoots.

Advanced noise reduction technology eliminates the hiss and background interference that plague standard camera microphones. The integrated shock mount system effectively isolates the microphone from camera handling noise, lens motor sounds, and vibrations that typically contaminate audio recordings.

Plug-and-play simplicity means no battery management or complex setup procedures. The Wavo draws power directly from your camera through the included TRS and TRRS cables, ensuring compatibility with DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, smartphones, and portable recorders. The furry windscreen provides essential protection during outdoor shoots, maintaining crystal-clear audio even in challenging weather conditions.

Professional frequency response from 35Hz to 18kHz captures the full spectrum of human voice with exceptional clarity. The -42dB sensitivity rating ensures optimal signal levels without requiring additional amplification, while the 76dB signal-to-noise ratio delivers clean recordings suitable for commercial applications.

Will the Joby Wavo work with my specific camera model?
Yes. The Joby Wavo is universally compatible with any DSLR or mirrorless camera that has a standard cold shoe mount. The included TRS cable connects to cameras with 3.5mm input jacks, and the TRRS cable works with smartphones. If your camera lacks an audio input, you can still mount the microphone for visual purposes while recording audio separately on an external device.

What warranty coverage and shipping options are available?
The Joby Wavo comes with a standard manufacturer warranty that typically lasts 1 to 2 years and covers defects in materials and workmanship. Most authorized retailers provide expedited shipping with tracking, and many offer free shipping on orders above certain purchase values. Be sure to keep your receipt and original packaging for warranty claims or returns.

How does the Wavo compare to lavalier microphones for video content?
The Joby Wavo offers a different experience than lavalier microphones. Lavalier mics must be clipped to clothing and can sometimes appear in the frame. The Wavo, when mounted on your camera, stays out of sight while capturing clean directional audio. Its shotgun design isolates the subject’s voice from surrounding noise, making it ideal for interviews, vlogging, and dynamic shooting situations where subjects move around.

How should I maintain the Wavo for optimal performance longevity?
Keep the microphone capsule clean using a soft dry brush to remove dust particles. Store the furry windscreen separately so it does not compress over time, and check cables regularly to ensure they have not worn from repeated coiling. The aluminum body resists corrosion, but avoid exposing the microphone to extreme temperatures to preserve the sensitivity of the condenser element.

What distinguishes Joby audio products from other microphone manufacturers?
Joby audio products are designed with photographers and content creators in mind. Unlike many generic audio brands, Joby focuses on seamless integration with camera gear. The Wavo stands out with features like dual cable compatibility, lightweight construction, and optimized shock mounting systems, all tailored for real-world shooting conditions.
