    • BLOCKS SOUND from the Back REALLY WELL
Model name: VideoMicro I
This mic blocks sound from the back REALLY WELL. For example, it's great if you are trying to record music being played live on a stage, and you don't want all the crowd noise behind you to be recorded. On the other hand, if you are using it to vlog, you have to talk louder than normal if you're behind the mic, otherwise your voice will come in soft. In comparison, the much more expensive Rode Video Mic Pro and Pro+ mics are good at picking up sound from the front and the rear, while rejecting sound only from the side. But they pick up sound well from the rear which make them great for vlogging, if you don't mind the larger size and having to use a battery. In any case, this Rode VideoMicro mic is literally one of the best condenser mics you can buy at any price when it comes to blocking sound from the rear. I've used dozens of condenser mics all the way up to $1,000 mics and very few are as good at blocking sound from the rear. (Dynamic mics are better at blocking sound from the rear, but they are a completely different kind of mic.) As far as condenser mics go that can be used for vlogging, the only vlogging mic as good as this one at blocking sound from the rear is the much more expensive Sennheiser MKE 440. Long story short, this Rode VideoMicro is a bargain. Small, cheap, sounds pretty good, comes with a shock mount and a windscreen, and no battery needed. It's a really good deal! ... show more

    • Pretty good budget audio
Model name: VideoMicro I
Compared to the price of other camera mics, you really can't complain. The sound quality isn't mind blowing or incredible, but its better than my T7i's built-in microphone and the windscreen it comes with is a must-have for recording outdoors.

    • Entry level upgrade
Model name: VideoMicro I
One of the best things you can do to improve the quality of your content is improve your audio. Where else to start but with the Rode VideoMicro. It's popular for a reason. The price is right. The quality is a huge improvement over built-in microphones in most devices. And the small size and weight means it's very easy to incorporate in to various set ups. Recommended. ... show more

    • Incredible for Dictation
Model name: VideoMicro I
I have had this mic for about a month. I use it chiefly with Dragon dictation software at work with my iPhone X. Note this will not work out-of-the-box because you need a TRS conversion plug to TRSS plug. If you need to charge your iPhone, you will need either a wireless charging pad (which does not charge very fast) or buy an adapter that allows you to charge your iPhone and accept a microphone input. Of course all of these adapters require special cables to connect the mic to the adapters to the iPhone. None of the cables or adapters are expenses. I just hated to wait for them to arrive, but then that's me. . .On many apps, such as the dictation app that I use, you will not be able to hear sound coming from the iPhone. In other words when I am in dictation mode, I cannot hear the phone ring or play music. However, GarageBand will let you use the mic and sound at the same time. So sound is very app dependent for the mic. The sound quality is incredible to me. I am using it with my iPhone X. On a scale of 1 to 10 the iPhone mic is about an eight. The Rode mic is a 9 1/2. To be honest I had some difficulty setting the mic up for my iPhone. This was not the problem of the mic but the problem of the user. This is where the real value of a company's support people come into play. I must have spoken to Ryan three or four times until I understood what type of connections I needed for the mic to work. Ryan was patient, friendly, and quite talented. To be able to break down the instructions to a novice like me, is pure genius in my book. ... show more

    • Did the job as expected
Model name: VideoMicro I
I record audio and collect synthesizers as a hobby. I wanted to get a microphone that was better than the stock one that comes in my Sony A6400. This one works very well and I'm very happy with it. I had some videos I wanted to shoot of myself and someone else (different video) sitting about 15 feet away. Picked up the audio well and did reduce the wind noise. Now this isn't the best mic ever, the condenser mic I use when recoding vocals or instruments is lightyears better but it's closer to $800 and is coupled with $1000 compressor and a $400ish tube preamp. Still, very happy with this purchase. ... show more

    • Decent mic with the right camera body, but sound quality isn't quite up to snuff.
Model name: VideoMicro I
It's probably been said the world over, but this mic connected to a camera body picks up an audible hiss and it's one of the most annoying things on the planet. I was able to get rid of it in both Audacity (noise profile), and Premiere Pro (Denoiser is the best way), but the quality of the mic itself, to me, is a bit sub-par coming from a Yeti. I've also owned and used a few higher quality XLR condensers so maybe it's a bit unfair, but to a trained ear this sound is kinda meh. It's kind of hollow, thin, and tinny. My goal was to streamline my setup while I save money for a new camera because I hate transferring my laptop and Yeti into the space where I record (as it requires bus power). I thought this would be a great way to reconcile the issue, and it is, but.. the sound quality is just not good enough for me. This is to be expected at $59, but the fact remains. I returned this and decided to just get a scissor arm and move my setup into my studio space. Also keep in mind I'm using an old Nikon D3200. Not really meant for video, and it's a body from probably 2013-2014. TL;DR - Decent sound quality but can't use. Build is pretty good. Likely will sound better with a better cam body. I'm sure the more expensive mics in this line are likely better, and I may invest in one down the road once I get an A6400. ... show more
