I tried out the standard VideoMic (not Pro) before and was unimpressed by the build-quality and overall bulkiness. I've also tried a DSLR-geared XLR shotgun mic running into a Tascam DR-40, but found the sound to be tinny and full of hiss (I'd suggest using the Tascam's built-in mic instead). I decided to try the Pro model of the RODE VideoMic when I saw the cross promotion that RODE was running with Red Giant for a free copy of PluralEyes. If you need a compact, high-quality shotgun mic for DSLR video work, I'd say this is definitely the one to get. The +20dB gain feature on the mic is a huge asset – as others have noted, if you turn the camera's audio level down to about four clicks from the bottom and turn on the +20dB gain on the mic, the resulting audio is nice and clear. The Pro is considerably more compact than the standard VideoMic and seems better made overall. I've not had the chance to try the windscreen in appropriate conditions yet, but I can definitely vouch for the mic itself. If you need a versatile, easy to set up audio solution for DSLR video, I'd say this is the microphone to buy.

I ordered this product in March 2012 for use on a camcorder and DSLR. I realized from past experience that the on-board microphone for either camera is not suitable for capturing quality sound. What I needed was a microphone that was suitable for loud concert music to a quiet seminar. I searched the 'net and found Rode to be the answer. It is able to capture clear and crisp sound and having the Deadcat helps in windy situations. This product is worth the money.

I'm using it to cover a pair of SeElectronics 4400 LDC mics for stereo field recording. Works great!

My main reason for buying the mic was to take advantage of the free offer for PluralEyes 3.0, and get a very good mic for almost nothing. Just a quick FYI, PluralEyes 3 does not work with Windows, yet, so I have to settle for the older version that doesn't integrate as smoothly with my editing platform, Adobe Premiere CS6. The program has already saved me a few hours of synching sound though. As for the mic itself, it is a solid recording device. I couple it with my Panasonic GH2. Obviously, there is no comparison with the onboard mic and this one. The sound recorded with this mic is actually useable, very useable to be precise. My general workflow is to record sound with my Zoom H4N and sometimes a lav attached to my Zoom H1 for interviews. If my subject is close enough to the camera, the Rode mic is the way to go, saving that step of having to sync sound later. One practical use example: I was shooting a scene for a reality show in a very crowded restaurant. My main focus was on 5 ladies talking over drinks. The general crowd noise was a moderate to high level of interference. I was sitting 4 feet from the ladies with the Rode mounted on my camera cage pointed directly at whoever was talking. Upon review later at home, the dialog from the ladies was quite clean and audible and the background chatter and music was quite soft and not intrusive. I've also used it at weddings to get the general ambience. I've had it one foot from the speaker where the party music was emitting and I got a decent recording. The deadcat wind muff is essential is you take one step outside. The slightest hint of wind will ruin sound on any mic. I leave the wind muff on at all times in case an air conditioning vent happens to be shooting air straight at the mic. My 4 star rating is due to the mount. I did read that the little rubber band like things holding it in place were quite susceptible to popping off if enough rigorous activity is applied to the mic. I was traveling from one room to another and the mic got snagged on a curtain. I looked up at the mic and it was sticking straight up. The front two rubber bands had popped off. I was able to find them and reassemble the mic, but the bands did come off quite easily. The mic does come with extra rubber bands, but I think doing a bit of a re-design will solve the issue of having to even think about needing replacement bands. Overall, this mic is a huge step up in audio capturing directly into your DSLR. In most instances, you will get very good sound that you can use right off your video clips. If you act now on this mic and get PluralEyes, you are getting a very good deal for just about any videographer out there.

This is such an amazing shotgun mic. At 40 feet with db setting its crystal clear. A great Australian product that is wowing professionals around the world. I won't give technical specs, but at this price you cannot go wrong with it and the deadcat. We have it mounted on a DSLR camera wing kit and its very light weight. We use it with a Canon 5D MKIII, but it work with many others. The Db attenuation handles it well. A great package. The seller was fast to ship. We will buy more from the seller.

I very disappointed with the mic: What a mad man designed this mic on this damn rubber bands that constantly come out and lost, and so hard to put back?! There are few spare amount of bands, but I'm already run out of them after one month usage. There is no way to use it, other than this rubber bands, there is no alternative mounting way provided. What's worse: sometimes I did not notice as one of the band came out and kept recording video, and got terrible nasty background noise as body of mic touched the mount cradle, and my video were spoiled. I finally bind base of the mic with sticky tape to the cradle and now it's much better. Other than bands issue, it does not provide proper sound quality, I think for this money sound should be much better, for instance it's very sensitive to wind noise, as sensitive as my internal mic is. Unfortunately I did not had time to test it in first 30 days after delivery, otherwise I would return it back with no doubt

This gets good audio rating for its size and weight, but in my view has some real disadvantages. Installing and changing the 9v battery is a major hassle. You need to remove the dead cat wind muffler and the supporting cage, and even then it takes a great deal of force and effort to get the battery door closed. The little screw that holds the hot shoe mount continually came undone for me during a trip in africa, and the rubber supporting cage was very intolerant of being taken into the field. For a company that has generally good ratings I ended up disappointed.

Professional mic for DSLR! It works and the audio is very clean. The "dead cat" accessory is a plus. I use it on a Cannon 7D.
