The S-Mic 3S improves on elements from the original S-Mic 2S, just as the S-Mic 2S improved upon the original Deity Shotgun.
You can get the S-Mic 3S in any color you want as long as it is black.
The microphone is black.
The S-Mic 3S, along with the rest of Deity’s 3-series XLR microphones, requires 24~48V phantom power to operate. A camera using a 3.5mm jack for audio does not supply 48V to the microphone. You would be better served using the V-Mic D4 or V-Mic D4 Mini with your camera.
