IronFilm Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 The Deity will retail at $369 USD or $429 in a kit with a Rycote Lyre shock handle. Their launch video from yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyOTivakluM Curtis Judd reviewed it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kom1nMM0DrQ TubeShooterMag also reviewed it: http://tubeshooter.co.uk/2017/01/01/aputure-unleash-chinese-deity-on-the-world/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POawJfj21g4&t=321s Other coverage: http://www.redsharknews.com/audio/item/4251-aputure-takes-aim-at-prestigious-rivals-with-new-shotgun-mic http://thehouseofvideo.com/2017/01/11/Is-the-new-Aputure-Deity-shotgun-mic-a-Rode-killer/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisaha Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Interesting, the kit with the Rycote shockmount seems like the best option of the 2. From the reviews, even the ME-66 sounded more pleasing to my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 It is also a sign of faith in Aputure as an audio company that Rycote has partnered up with them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisaha Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 It is definitely not competing with the best microphones out there, I see it more as a Rode killer, than anything. Do not feel like a lot of top pro sound men replace their 416es or 60s for this, but instead of one of the cheap Rodes, I can see getting this as a second or third mic. It is also a lot wider than 416, which is a no no for me and most top professionals, but the weather sealing, the wide patter and the cheap price of the kit it makes it an excellent back up plan, or crash-mic, or first mic for one man band professionals that sound is their second or third, or forth, (or fifth!) thought, or new sound men and boom ops that afraid to handle the not so forgiving Sennys. The Rode/Rycote thingy costs around 80$, and the Rycote with the new softie (which I tried, and didn't excited me very much) is https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/263721-REG/Rycote_033702_Medium_Hole_Softie_Lyre.html in a very good price. I will be waiting for more reviews, and probably a small price drop, and see if it take me away from the MKE 600, which I was considering as a back up mic.

IronFilm Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 Should perhaps have shared this trailer ages ago, but this might just maybe perhaps be the first feature film with an Aputure Deity used on it?! (was shot mid last year) Maaaaybe, share if you know of any others! Although the bulk of it I used a Sanken CS3e for outdoors, and a Samson S02 indoors. (plus a little teeny bit here was done with an Oktava cardioid or a 416) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
