Description

VideoMic Me Directional Microphone for Smartphones. The VideoMicro is a compact microphone designed to improve the audio quality of your videos. There is a bit of conventional wisdom that goes something like, "Half of good video is good audio." And it’s true. Say you’re recording a video of a live performance. Who cares if the band looks like they’re cooking if it doesn’t sound great; The VideoMicro incorporates a high-quality cardioid condenser microphone capsule for great quality audio recordings when used with a wide range of cameras. The VideoMicro reduces distracting peripheral sounds and focuses on the audio in front of the camera. Its pickup is more forgiving than other on-camera microphones, providing a more natural sound when recording indoors. The microphone body is made from aluminum, giving it a high level of RF rejection, and is finished in RODE's high-grade ceramic anti-glare black coating. Included with the VideoMicro is a camera shoe mount featuring a Rycote Lyre shockmount. Featuring a suspension structure composed of a rugged thermoplastic, it is far more effective at minimizing unwanted vibrations, handling and cable-borne noise than traditional elastic suspensions. The Rycote Lyre will never sag, snap, wear out or require rethreading to maintain its effectiveness. Also included is the WS9 synthetic furry wind screen with foam inner cell, designed for use in outdoor scenarios where wind and environmental noise can inhibit recordings. SPECSAcoustic Principle: Pressure GradientActive Electronics: JFET impedance converterCapsule: 0.50" Polar Pattern: Cardioid Address Type: EndFrequency Range: 100Hz - 20kHzMaximum SPL: 140dB SPL (at 1kHz, 1% THD into 1KOhm load) Sensitivity: -33.0dB re 1 Volt/Pascal (22.00mV at 94 dB SPL) +/- 2 dB at 1kHz Equivalent Noise Level (A-weighted): 20dB-A Weight: 42g Dimensions: 21mm x 21mm x 80mm.

    • Great little mic to improve the audio quality of your videos!
Model name: VMM Smartphone
I was looking for a way to upgrade the audio for my videos, before this I just had a little lav mic. Despite the good reviews, I really wasn't expecting too much from this mic, it's one of the shortest shotgun mics I've seen so couldn't imagine it would make that much of a difference. To my surprise this mic works very well and does make a significant difference in the audio quality of the videos. It's not perfect, if the mic is far away from you it will pick up some room noise / echo, but I have mine about 3-5 feet away and the difference of this mic vs the internal one is night and day. One suggestion I have, with any shotgun, is to point it at your chest below your chin and not directly at your mouth, gives a richer more even tone. Pros: SUPER easy to use Included windscreen is very effective in outdoor scenarios Compact and easily portable Great sound quality Cons: I'm not taking any stars off for this, since the mic specifically says for iPhone, but I could not get it to work with Android devices. I've read other reviews that stated it could be used with Android, but I had no luck in that area even using several different recording apps. ... show more

    • Good but not a game-changer
Model name: VMM Smartphone
This is better than the stock iphone 6s mic and provides a good directional benefit by limiting noise coming from behind the direction you are filming. That said, I was a bit disappointed that the sound difference wasn't better than it is given the Rode name behind it. If you are looking to create a iphone based vlog, I would invest a bit more for the step up to see if you might be able to get a better result - ideally one that provides stereo as opposed to mono. Sound is so important if you are making this kind of investment it's not quite there. 4 stars is that it does do what it says and works simple in the mic jack - but I dropped a star because it wasn't as good as their promotional video on their site and disappointed a bit in the results. Also, as an aside, do NOT buy this if you have anything other than iphones as I have a nexus android which works but the location of the mic jack allows you to see the microphone boom in the video. I did not impact my star rating for this as it did not advertise for anything other than iphone, but it's important for anyone thinking that they can use this for other phones, it is unlikely for the above reasons. ... show more

    • High hopes for this Rode mic, just wasn't meant to be
Model name: VMM Smartphone
I purchased the Rode VideoMic Me for professional use on a iPhone 6s, both for broadcasting public events and interviews on live social media feeds and for capturing video to edit and share for other purposes. A local TV anchor pointed out after a major Facebook Live broadcast that the standard iPhone mic was picking up a lot of wind and creating audio problems. Knowing the Rode brand and finding this comes with a windscreen (plus several YouTube reviews showing people using it outside) I had hoped to be able to use this to upgrade our production value at future outdoor events at off-site locations. Yes, the sound quality is an improvement over the standard cell phone mic. Unfortunately these benefits are completely wiped away by a loud and abrasive whining and clicking that interrupts the audio. Activating airplane mode addresses this audio feedback issue, but that makes this mobile phone attachment useless for live broadcasting anywhere a strong wi-fi signal is not available. There also doesn't appear to be a way to get the headphone jack to pass through audio for monitoring purposes using the standard iPhone photo/video app. So if you forget to switch to airplane mode when recording, there is no way to tell if your audio is ruined until you review it after the shot is over. Rode has a great reputation but this product has a number of critical flaws. Overall very disappointed. ... show more

    • Worked great with my Android phone Worked great with my Android phone
Model name: VMM Smartphone
Review Image by DU
I bought this because I needed something for my cell phone to reduce or eliminate wind noise from my cell phone videos. A fur wind screen works extremely well for this, but is difficult to adapt to a cell phone microphone so this mic looked promising. I am using it on an Motorola Android phone and when the microphone was mounted to the cell phone as originally designed, it ended up being in the picture so I got a 4 pole TRRS 3' extension cable and mounted the mic remotely on another camera that was away from the cell phone. I needed to also replace the stock camera app on my phone with the "Open Camera" app from the Play Store and under Video Settings enable Audio Source -> "External Mic (if present). With all that, the mic and supplied wind screen eliminates all the wind noise from my videos. The "Open Camera" app also allowed me to manually control the camera so that was a bonus. Like all the other Rode products I have, it is well made, too. ... show more

    • Great for phone, not for laptop
Model name: VMM Smartphone
I run a YouTube channel (Sola Gratia Life, if you're interested) and just got this to improve my video's audio quality. It works great on my android phone for making short reels, but the bread and butter of my channel are long-form educational/vlogging hybrid type of video's, which I can get away with creating on my phone as well, but other content I want to grow is my livestreaming episodes with guest interviews... this is where I need my laptop. My PC laptop has a headphone input but no mic input. The Rode VideoMic does not fit into the headset input. To avoid buying another $1100 computer I may have to buy a USB audio input system (such as for podcast and radio recordings) to male this work... and there's no guarantee right now that's the solution because I don't have the technical knowledge to predict that. So potentially there's more hassle involved with product returns, more research to find a viable solution for my needs and budget, etc. Not sure if it's worth it yet. It will be for me if I can have good quality audio for my little channel for under $100 but so far what I got is a great little mic with a trusted brand that I can use for some projects, but not much to show for it with others. I'd give this product 5 stars if it came with some kind of multi-connection adapter. ... show more

I have the micro and the pro and this. The others are good the pro mic is my favorite. This ME barely makes any difference on my Note 8 S4 Active or my iPad mini. It is disappointing considering I spent way more money on this when I could have purchased several cheaper alternatives that work better. Loved the convenience of just plugging it into a phone with a firm attachment but it does very little to improve the audio. I added a foam cover it did not come with one. UPDATE: I purchased this mic 3 years ago. It did very little in terms of performance. Here i am updating this review 3 years later. This mic sat around for 3 years as a paper weight since I did not use it because of its poor performance. A friend was doing a wedding shoot and asked to borrow several mics. This was one of them for a cellphone used to record video to straight post to social media. She told me the sound was great. I said what? I checked out the videos and they had good sound. This made me test this mic on my phones and tablets all over again. WTH. The audio was improved. You can hear a noticeable difference. After further tests it seems either several FW updates later on my devices cleared whatever issue there was or tossing it around all these years fixed something. 🤔 I would have returned it but threw the box away. Not sure what happened but the audio is much better and recording volume is actually boosted too. 😲 It sounds good. ... show more

    • No good for live streams.
Model name: VMM Smartphone
Started out as a good mic. Very handy and good sound overall on my iPhone 6s. Windscreen has been good too. Then I kept noticing static and crackling when I started using it for live streams. I took me awhile to figure out what was causing it. Then I did some testing and realized that it's the Instamatic. On WiFi or Cell, live streams have a nasty background of static and noise. It even worse on Cellular data. Consider this is a mic make for mobile phones this is an inexcusable oversight on the part of Rode. If you won't be using this for live streaming you'll likely be fine. If you plan on live streaming, you will likely be disappointed. ... show more
