  • A great mic for DSLRs
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. ... show more

  • Exceptional!!!!
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. ... show more

  • Greatly improves the audio of your video
Rode mic makes a huge difference in the sound. It really improves the sound quality in your recordings. You must be careful that you have the thing turned on though. If you have it connected and the sound is turned off, you will have no sound on your recordings. As you might have imagined, I made this oversight several times already. :-( ... show more

  • Awesome product
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. ... show more

  • Loud and Clear
I used this as soon as I got it for an outdoor video shoot. I used multiple camera angels and a dedicated audio recorder so I was able to compare the difference with the equipment that didn't have wind shielding. . .this works great for a "dead wombat" but even better, It's a perfect fit for all the Rode mic and capsules that I bought. ... show more

  • Nice Mic!
I use this mic and wind muff for recording audio on many different types of videos for my business. I have found that this mic picks up excellent audio, and the wind muff definitely helps in outdoor conditions when it's windy.

  • Pure sound quality and rubber bands constantly come out
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 ... show more

  • Not tolerant of being taken into field and battery installation a major negative.
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. ... show more
