  • Decent mic for my 1st attempt at DSLR video. UPDATE. 2 years old, now a lot of background hissing.
Model name: VIDEOMIC GO
Just remember that this mic does not use a battery, and is made primarily for DSLR's that provide power through the mic cable (Rode supplies a nice coiled one that does not get in your way). On that note, most DSLR's made today are compatible with this little gem. Check compatibility on Rode's website before purchase. Setup is easy...just go on YouTube and search for a Rode Video Mic GO setup for your particular DSLR, since this is a popular microphone in use around the world. If you have a Canon or Nikon or other popular DSLR, somebody has already "been there, done that" and is willing to share their menu setup. I had this set up and ready to go within minutes after receiving it in the mail and attaching it to a Canon EOS T5i, and made a quick test video to confirm the settings did work. The cardioid pickup pattern is well-engineered. I literally performed the setup and marched out to record a Missoula Children's Theatre play for my kids, and the recorded sound was fine despite a generic auditorium that was built without stage performances in mind (i.e., the acoustics were built for lecture, not musical performance). I bought this because I decided, on the spur of the moment, to try video with a camera that I no longer using regularly for school sports and activities (I have a Canon 5D Mk IV and Canon 1Ds Mk III for that). For a quickly cobbed-together combo of this mic and a Canon T5i DSLR, it did really well. I obviously have to use it more to get more out of this particular setup, but for a person like me who has never tried video with a DSLR, this mic proved to be a good choice. UPDATE: 2 years old, and started delivering more and more background hissing after a year of use, no matter which camera body I used. This item did not last very long. I can remove the hiss in post production using software, but it’s just easier to buy a higher quality mic with its own power supply (a battery). It was decent while it lasted. ... show more

  • Good for run and gun
Model name: VIDEOMIC GO
I get pretty good sound quality for what this is and how much it costs. Funny story, I actually paid more for an inferior product, which I returned and used the money to but this and some other equipment. It's a pretty nifty little microphone for boosting your camera's audio range, great for run and gun scenarios where you don't have the time to set up all your jib specific gear. ... show more

  • Best MIC for a Small Budget!
Model name: VIDEOMIC GO
Okay, first off, I didn't buy this MIC from Amazon, but from Best Buy. This MIC is a really good MIC in recording high quality, crisp sound, but sometimes when there is no dialogue, and there is an action that doesn't have much sound, like a door opening and closing, there can be quite a loud hiss in the background. This MIC is the best one for people in a budget like me and is very professional too! Here are 2 ways to prevent the hiss problem: 1.) Via CAMERA SETTINGS: Now I know that the GO mic doesn't have a -20db, but you can still lower the hiss through the camera audio recording settings! (My camera is a Canon, so setting titles may vary for different cameras, but I'm pretty sure Nikon has many of those same titles/names.) Step 1: Go to your camera's settings (via camera), and go to the tab that has the audio recordings. Step 2: Click on "Sound Recording" and put on "Manual" instead of "Auto". Step 3: Go down how much you need to, to reach "Rec. Level". Click on that. Step 4: Put the level around 5 or 6; go to the far end (left) of the level and click 5 or 6 times for it to go to the right. (contact me if you need more detail). This will lower the hiss sound, so the audio will be a clearer when you have dialogue or recording voiceover. 2.) Via EDITING SOFTWARE: (I use Final Cut Pro X and iMovie, so I'm sure any other editing software would have the audio effect if these two have it.) Step 1: Open your editing software. Step 2: Go to the "Effects" tab. Step 3: Click on the subcategory (if you have one): "Audio Effects" Step 4: Scroll down (if you have to) and find the tab "Levels" Step 5: Then, scroll down (if you have to again) and find the "Gain" effect. Step 5: Add that effect to your clip/audio and adjust the setting controls to "-20db" Now you have better sounding audio without having to buy the Rode MIC with the Gain controls on the MIC itself. ***I have attached pictures (for the Editing Software portion) to help along with the steps. If you still need help, don't hesitate to contact me!*** Hope this helps you decide what MIC to buy, and this one seems to be perfect if you are a freelance filmmaker, YouTube creator, or anyone with a tight budget :) ... show more

  • Just Plug in And It's Ready To Go!
Model name: VIDEOMIC GO
Update: I get crackling noises after 1 year. It's so annoying, I know longer use it. First review: I'm reviewing this Rode Mic Go one month after purchasing to give a fair review. It looks just like the picture . The mic is extremely light weight in fact it will not make a different in the weight once mounted on your hot shoe on my DSLR. It can also plug into an iPhone and iPad. I use this mic for all three. If you need to use it with your iPad or iPhone you will need to purchase an adapter called the Rode SC4 microphone cable. Don't purchase the Rode mic without getting the adapter/ mic cable. It is made of some type of soft flexible plastic material, but it isn't flimsy at all. You need to be close to the microphone in order to receive great audio. A wind guard is needed if you'll use this outside. It picks up the wind noise and every sound of the background outside . I gave it 4 stars because you need to be close to it in order to get great quality. If the camera is mounted on a tripod make sure you are close to it . If it's plugged in it's recording your voice. No worries about on and off switches. There isn't a volume button. It's pretty straight forward. I think it's worth the money for a fairly decent consumer microphone. ... show more

  • Great sound quality
Model name: VIDEOMIC GO
I bought this to upgrade the basic mic on my Canon R50, and it is amazing! I feel like the only complaint I had is that when the subject is more than 10 feet away in an open room, I still got a lot of echo, but I feel like that's a minimal complaint.
