    • One of the best on camera mics on the market
Pattern Name: Microphone
There were a handful of on camera mics I was looking at for the day to day use. This one is absolutely great over all. Sound quality is crisp and clean. The noise canceling is quite decent as well. Biggest issue is depending on what sort of camera/lens combo you have, you for sure will pickup the lens making sounds during auto focus. Another eh, part of it is where the battery compartment is located and how difficult it is to take off and re install the battery cover. The 9 volt battery lasts quite a long time so thats a plus (but ALWAYS, carry a spare in your bag) Overall quite pleased with using it for some interviews daily while filming and really zero need to do any enhancement to the audio in post production. ... show more

    • Great tool for the right job
Pattern Name: Microphone
I bought and returned this microphone (Rode VideoMic Pro R) and I intended to use it with my Canon 80D. I also own the Rode VideoMicro and kept that one instead. Pros: - Self powered condenser microphone with boost switch allowed me to turn down the volume on my camera so that there was less noise introduced from my camera's pre-amps. - Tighter pickup pattern compared to the Rode VideoMicro which means less ambient noise bleed - Great shock mount to remove unwanted noise from handling the camera Cons: - For me, the microphone was a touch too big. The new version with the Rycote Lyre mount is slightly longer and wider than the old version. - While there is an included windscreen, it is very ineffective and doesn't do the job that the VideoMicro's dead cat does. If you plan on using this outside, you will need to purchase the dead cat for this separately and that will also add size to it. - While the signal was hotter and cleaner, I found that even with the low-cut filter on, the sound was a tad too muddy for my taste. If you are going to record music or something that requires good bass response, then this mic is for you. If like me, you plan on only recording vocals, I found that the VideoMicro had more shimmer and brightness to it that lent well to adding clarity to vocals. - While having battery power means a hotter signal, it also means that you need to carry an extra one in case it dies. Conclusion: This is a great mic and definitely captures a richer, and more detailed range of sounds than the VideoMicro, but I found the audio to be a touch muddy for vocals. For the added cost, and size, I felt that using the VideoMicro was plenty good enough for the work that I had planned. This mic is great, I just hope that this review will help you to decide if this mic is the right mic for you. ... show more

    • Just spend $70 extra on the new VideoMic Pro R+
Pattern Name: Microphone
Pros: 1. Audio quality is incredible. This captures the lows that other microphones won't even begin to pick up, it's a thing of beauty. 2. High pass filter saves a ton of editing time. 3. The +20db booster means that you can record directly to your camera without getting that terrible background noise that the in-camera amplifier creates (this is easily the best feature of this whole deal. Cons: 1. D batteries? Really? You've got to be kidding... 2. The auxiliary plug which is built in has a consistently faulty design. the soldering on the plug seems to go out on people far too often and it's happened to me. The thing that really sucks is that you can't just get a new cable and plug it in because they built this thing into the microphone. 3. This thing doesn't turn off with your camera and although this isn't a design flaw, it will sneak up and bite you sometimes. Either you'll forget to turn it off and it will die, or you'll forget to turn it on and lose extremely valuable audio that you can't get back. In summary, pay the extra $70 and buy the new VideoMic Pro R+. All of those issue that I and everyone else had with this microphone, have been fixed with the new model. Literally every problem. So while this is an incredible microphone and does amazing work, it will be far more worth it in the long run to just spend the extra $70 so you don't have treat this like a newborn just because the aux cable is so finicky. ... show more

    • Excellent sound, assuming you know what you're actually trying to do
Pattern Name: Microphone
So, the product mount felt a bit fragile when I first examined it, but keeping in mind that I'm not going to bash the mic setup (and my camera!) against walls, I soon realized it was fine. I had read people complaining about putting the battery in, so I carefully read the instructions and was able to remove/return the battery door on an EMPTY CHAMBER pretty easily. When I tried it with a 7-volt battery inserted, it became amazingly difficult. After some thought and examination, I pulled off the RODE foam cover for the mic, exposing the battery mount area fully. Once I did that, putting the battery in and closing the door was easy. Kind of unfortunate that this is the easiest way to deal with it, but hardly the worst thing in the world. Had to dial back the gain on my Nikon D850 to about 8 in order to eliminate the hiss (left the attenuation setting turned on), and then boosted the RODE by using that +20 switch. Sound was excellent, clearly audible from 10-15 feet away in a room with a ceiling fan running along with central air blowing - even better, the fan and air sounds really didn't register on the video. Sound sources from the side and behind were muted well in my tests. Good mic, excellent for the price. No, you're not going to pick up a conversation from 50 feet away - get a wireless system if that's your goal. But if you're videoing within 20-30 feet, this thing works fine. ... show more
