Review: Fantastic microphone! - Firstly, The RØDE VideoMic Microphone is a BRILLIANT microphone. It provides clear, crisp, professional quality audio, at a very good price. This microphone is capable of doing a lot more than on camera work. I have used this product with my PC, for contacting my friends, and communicating with people when playing games online. As well as this, this microphone is great at being used as a boom mic for a video. This microphone tops any built-in microphones on cameras or phones, and it is a great way to improve quality of videos for things like YouTube, Twitch or general video projects in general. Pros of this microphone: - Brilliant, Crisp, Sharp Audio - Great price for performance - Works with many platforms: - PC - Mac - Camera - Audio Recorder - Phone (with adapter) - Uses standard 3.5mm jack connector - Shock mount reduces knocks and bumps greatly - Foam covering reduces noise from wind quite well - built in cable stretches well - built in high pass filter Cons of this microphone: - audio cable isn't replaceable - requires 9v battery for power - quite large - can sometimes be seen in the camera shot (when mounted on hotshot mount) when using wide angle lens This product is amazing for the price, can't recommend it enough!
Review: Very good microphone - very good microphone for people using dslr's for recording video but want half decent sound. fits well and snug on the hotshoe, on my Nikon d3300 which has an external mic port so be careful some dslr's dont have them. The internal sound controls are a bit hard to get to so i don't use them but they are not very important unless you are going somewhere very loud. i have managed to rig mine up with a Dictaphone and an audio splitter on my dslr so i can monitor the audio, which i would recommend. with it being a shotgun microphone you can really tell the sound is captured from where it is pointing which is great. the shock mount is very good stopping any vibrations that would create noise. the sound can be a bit hissy unless you turn down the mic preamp level on a dslr so bear this in mind as i thought it was the mic at first. I recommend this over the rode go mic unless your really pushed for price and space, as it is much better and not too more expensive. i cant really compare it to the video mic pro but i would say is at least half as good for around half the price. you also get a good warranty from rode which i would recommend using also overall very pleased and would definitely recommend for people wanting an external mic for their camera.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, but research your camera and this mic combo first!
*by R***P on 2 July 2014*

This mic seems to be good. I definitely get a fuller sound than I do from the on-board mic on my camcorder. The problem lies, I believe, mainly with Canon cameras. I have the Canon M52 camcorder, and as this is a video mic, I expected things to be sweet, but I was disappointed. There is a distinct hiss under all my recordings using this mic with the Canon camcorder (search the two of them for why this is). If I film in a noisy environment, the hiss is un-noticeable (so far, anyway), but when you film someone talking in a quiet environment, the hiss makes the footage quite unusable! I've looked into the problem and I haven't been able to find a solution for my camera, although there are solutions out there for DSLR cameras; it didn't work with mine. I've decided to keep the Rode Videomic, because, as I said, it records (seemingly) well in a noisy environment, much better than the on-board mic, and I've now purchased (after much research) a separate recording device. No one said audio for video was going to be easy, I just thought it would be. It can be complicated, expensive, and time consuming trying to get it all to work the way you want it to, as different situations are going to call for different set ups, but that's part of the fun, and definitely a major part of the learning process. As for build quality, it is excellent, the Rycote Lyre Mount works, and, as this is by far the most important thing, it does look very good in the camera rig, especially when it's sat on top of a camera grip!
