Just about anything with a 3.5mm microphone jack
The D3 Pro will work with phones, tablets, DSLRs, body pack transmitters. We have tested it on a dozen DSLR models, two dozen phones, a handful of Android-based tablets, and the microphone inputs on laptops. When plugged into devices that have a stereo microphone input, the V-Mic D3 Pro outputs dual mono tracks.
The World’s FIRST Microphone with a Stepless Gain Knob
The V-Mic D3 Pro features a +20dB step-less analog gain adjustment dial. On each side of the dial the V-Mic D3 Pro features a bump guard that helps prevent the dial from being accidentally rotated. The +20dB of gain is added on a linear scale so you can dial in the exact amount of gain you need for each shot.
Internal Battery
Inside the V-Mic D3 Pro lives a 320mAh lithium-ion battery. Run time for the V-Mic D3 Pro is 51 hours and standby time is 74 hours. The battery is charged in a little less than 2 hours.
