Clear, Crisp, Audio Every Time Movo Photo: The UM700 Desktop Studio Microphone & VXR10 Pro Shotgun Microphone By Claudia Paredes Movo Photo strives to make products that enhance the life of those behind the camera. Whether it’s a microphone you’re looking for, or stabilizers, or tripod heads, they’ve got you covered. Their innovative products are reliable, affordable, and high quality. Their products are sturdy, come with all the bells and whistles that you’d expect, and are made to last.
