Audio specialist Comica has announced the new Comica Traxshot – a super cardioid shotgun microphone inspired by Transformers, which can literally transform according to the shooting situation.

The Comica Traxshot's signature feature is its dual capsule arm system. Unlike traditional shotgun mics, which feature static directional capture, the Traxshot can be transformed to suit a variety of recording requirements – something that could make it one of the best microphones for vlogging.
