    • Lightweight and high quality
Color: 3rd Gen | VMGO II Helix
This is a small, lightweight shotgun that records incredible audio for it's size. I recorded testimonials in a very crowded and lous symposium and the voices are very clear.

    • Finally the mic I was looking for!
Color: 3rd Gen | VMGO II Helix
Dude yeah! Works great, keeps the base in my voice present in recordings (unlike other budget options). Great price! I’ve bee using it on my Sony ZV-E10 mark ii and it’s been perfect for my recordings.

    • Amazing Sound Value
Color: 3rd Gen | VMGO II Helix
One of the best pieces of sound equipment I’ve ever owned. No matter what I attach it to it is a massive upgrade. I’ve used it w/ iPhones, Canon R-Series cameras, etc., in a multitude of situations & it is very compatible, the perfect size for tight, portable scenarios and is a BREEZE to set up. Some may not want to dump a c-note to get this kind of return, but you won’t be disappointed. Never had one negative experience with it. ... show more

I used to use a more expensive Rode mic that I got in 2013. I didn't want to spend $200+ this time so I tried this out. In my opinion, it works just as well as more expensive mics I've used. Great voice isolation and background canceling. Not perfect and may sometimes require a little tweaking in post. But this is a great mic that replaced my more experience one ... show more

    • Great mic!
Color: 3rd Gen | VMGO II Helix
I was looking for a mic that was affordable and easy to use and would Mount properly for use with my DJI osmo action 5 and this fit the bill. I have been what must be 50 ft away at a reasonable speaking volume and this mic still picks up voice and it's able to be lifted in post to a reasonable level. The cold shoe is sturdy enough, it's nice and compact on top of the camera and looks pretty good. Wind noise could probably be better but it's not bad a dead cat would probably help quite a bit. Overall happy with the purchase and would purchase again. ... show more

    • Solid microphone and great software
Color: 3rd Gen | VMGO II Helix
I bought this as an 'overkill' solution for a good quality microphone while on work meetings. I'm also using it to record training content for my company. If you listen to the processed audio through the rode connect, it just barely picks up ambient sounds like keyboard typing when you dial it in. I've found that the built-in background noise cancellation for apps like zoom and microsoft teams completely kill this, so the double-processing works very well. This mic isn't technically intended to be used indoors where acoustics without sound dampening will get picked up, but I'm very pleased with the results anyways. the helix mount does a very good job of absorbing vibrations and preventing transfer to the mic input. The rode connect software wasn't super intuitive at first, but after watching a youtube video or two with someone demonstrating how to leverage the virtual channels, it works great. ... show more

    • Excellent on-camera microphone for vlogging.
Color: 3rd Gen | VMGO II Helix
I have used the Wireless Go 2 mic and the Rode NT1-A studio microphone, and I find the RØDE VideoMic GO II to be a perfect choice for my needs, which include vlogging on YouTube and some podcasts. It is plug-and-play, significantly reducing the time it takes for me to set up and start recording. The microphone is lightweight and delivers excellent sound quality, with a slightly bassy tone that can easily be adjusted with EQ. It’s incredibly user-friendly and compatible with any device, making it very portable. The VideoMic GO II can be mounted using a cold shoe or the quarter-inch thread underneath, and it features a great shock mount. Additionally, it operates without a battery, adding to its convenience. I would recommend this microphone to anyone looking for an on-camera option. It can also be used with a computer or a phone for calls, which is great; you just need the right cable for phone use. Priced reasonably, it’s a fantastic option, especially if you can find a used one. ... show more
