  • Great sound quality, easy to use, distance isn't super, wish it came with a case or storage.
Pattern Name: Microphone
The sound quality on this is no question better than the built in mic on my DSLR. It's super easy to use, pretty much plug and play. The mount clips in well and snugly, no worry about it coming loose my accident even if moving around or running. Like how the function buttons are easy to see and reach on the back, not a perfect spot if you need to change while recording so know which you want before you start. The shock mount is great, super flexible, amazing how much movement its able to absorb without transferring sound to the video. The only critique I have is I wish it came with a case or some storage, even just a sac but wish for a zipper hardshell. I end up trying to find a spot in my camera bag and worry about putting pressure on or twisting the shock mount. Check out my photos for a closer look and I hope this was helpful. ... 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

  • I wasted years without this...
Pattern Name: Microphone
I heard about Rode mics for years. I bought an NGT2 (boom) years ago, and I love that mic. But, I never bought into the on-camera shotgun mics like the VideoMicPro. I recently start a new job where they had one of these in their kits. I tried it out for a project, and I couldn't believe the quality. I just bought one for my own kit because it is a must-have. The mic operates on a 9-volt battery, which I have rechargeable of so it is easy to swap out. The mic clips into the hot shoe mount on top of the camera or on a cold shoe mount on a separate grip I sometimes attach to the camera. The microphone itself has different levels for sound recording/signal, including -10, 0, and +20. This is great for when shooting out with clients because I can adjust the levels as I need to. I shoot with either a 5D or 6D, which both allow me to see the audio levels on the screen. If you're using a T-series camera, you can click into the "menu" and then "sound recording" to check your audio level before you begin recording. You can adjust the level to within a good range for your camera setup. This microphone is really a workhorse, and it is so light, and yet it is very sensitive to sounds. Lovely piece that I've added to my kit. So pleased! ... show more

Pattern Name: Microphone
I couldn't decide on a microphone to capture audio with my GoPro Hero4. Is this overkill for an action camera - absolutely! But I decided to go with the old "buy nice or buy twice" on this one since I also plan on using the GoPro as an additional camera for vlogging so recording good voice audio was one of the purchase criteria. I initially wanted to budget no more than $100 for a good mic which had me deciding between the Rode VideoMicro and VideoMic GO as well as similar competitor models. I liked the fact that those two do not require battery power (versus the Pro requiring a 9V battery) and the simplicity of use (no power switch as the mic is powered by the camera once it's plugged into the 3.5mm jack or mini-USB adapter). But the fact that this microphone is highly regarded by so many videographers, I felt like it could serve me well on many other future platforms and not just on the GoPro. I listened to comparisons between the three Rode microphones and the Pro sounds noticeably less noisy. Voice audio recordings also sound more natural and less harsh on the ears even at high volumes. Regardless of the platform, this product functions very well at capturing audio and is very well constructed although removal of the battery door for the first time can have you second guessing if you're opening it correctly! ... show more
