Great budget mic, versatile, durable, and quality sound.
Model name: VideoMicro II
I have been using this mic for a while now and I’m still pleased with the quality and value. I have used it with multiple devices (cameras, computers, cellphones) and had zero issues. I let my kids use it for gaming on their computer and they were able to set it up with ease. No issues with background noise. It has taken a few drops from a desk and couple when my camera tripod fell over and still works as good as day one.

Good microphone and the best AI chatbot support I've encountered
Model name: VideoMicro II
I don't normally give 5 star reviews but this goes beyond the product. RODE earned that 5th star. The microphone is certainly more sensitive than the MOVO VXR10 and the SmallRig Forevala S20, two very popular camera microphones on Amazon. The VideoMicro 2 performs much better than those 2 in quiet environments. Is it worth double the price? That's your decision to make but I am content with the $80 I spent for the VideoMicro 2. SmallRig's gimmick of including a lav mic and a way to connect it is nice. But a good lav mic can be had later on with a cheap Y adapter. The VideoMicro 2's deadcat and foam windsocks are quite a bit larger than the competition. But is almost necessary. I do not recommend running the microphone without these installed as the popping sounds from speech are very noticeable. The microphone mount is your standard cold shoe. If you own a camera such as the Sony ZV-E10 Mk1 or Mk2 you will need an adapter that slides into your smaller proprietary hotshoe. Another note about the mount. You will need a 3/8in to 1/4 in grub screw adapter. The mount uses the larger 3/8in screw and is not compatible with most consumer tripods and mounting equipment. What earned my 5th star despite some of these minor compromises is the website support. I had a simple question as to why there is a metal contact on top of the microphone. I've seen it on several of RODE's microphones. Now I don't support AI chat bots to fully replace humans but RODE's implementation of it was perfect. I had a question about the metal contact and the chat bot answered it. It's an alignment tool to ensure the microphone is oriented correctly in the mount. The inquiry was over in 2 minutes. THIS is how AI support should be done. Answer the simple questions and move to a human for anything more complicated.

Not bad...
Model name: VideoMicro II
As a pro shooter I was looking for something smaller and more inline with professional shotgun microphones which basically just plug into your camera without all the software and infrequencer gimmickry. In general I usually use the Tascam DR-40X handheld recorder as my audio solution for my DSLR cameras. Even though it's mics are excellent and allows me to use my professional phantom power shotgun mics, it requires to be powered up and put in standby mode every time I start recording and needs to be reconfigured every time I want to use my phantom powered shotgun mics. The Rode Video Micro II shotgun mic eliminates these extra steps while also being lighter and much more compact, while still offering high quality acceptable audio. I am impressed with it's audio quality and when used with my Olympus OM1 its output level is ideal. It is very clean with a flat response curve without the booming bass I usually find with other mics in this price range. Another excellent feature is that it also includes a foam and dead cat wind screen. The dead cat is a must have for shooting outdoors. This micro condenser shotgun mic should be in every pro shooters kit. Plus it easy to use for family videos and casual shooting. This mic is now a fixture on all my DSLR cameras. Highly recommend.

Great mic but shock mount causes audible turbulence
Model name: VideoMicro II
I use this mic on my Sony ZV-E10 every day. I also have the Rode NT-1 studio condenser mic, but my students say the VideoMicro II is clearer and so it's easier for them to hear my voice. I suspect this is due to it having strong response in the mids (where the voice resides) and less in the higher and lower ranges. (It's probably also better when played back on the students' laptop speakers or cheap earphones, which probably also lack highs and lows.) So, for this purpose, it works perfectly. However, it's not so good outdoors. Sometimes I record students outdoors for promotional videos. The included wind protection options are great, but after some testing I discovered that there is excessive wind noise when the wind comes from the side or back. This is due to the flat, ribbon-like shape of the shock mount. If you cover this area on the rear of the mic (and it would probably help to cover the cable too), you can blast it with powerful wind and it stays silent (as confirmed by my tests in a controlled environment). Recommended for indoor use only, or outdoors if you don't mind rigging up an extra cover for the shock mount to supplement the benefits of the fluffy wind shield. It's also highly directional, which is good if you want to somewhat isolate one speaker in a noisy location. I often mount it on a pole with a long cable and use it like a field reporter. Works perfectly and sounds great when you get closer to the interviewee (and without having to stick the camera right in their face).

quality compact mic for it's price
Model name: VideoMicro II
I'm not an audiophile, but I'm really happy with this. I use it with a smaller camera--the audio capture is great for the price-point imo and the mic is small enough to keep the deadcat from out of the shot

Sounds like recording through a tin can
Model name: VideoMicro II
I use with my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and I have tried making several different videos, all indoor with the mic pointing towards the actor within 5 or 6 feet. EVERY video I make with this mic the actor sounds like they are speaking through a tin can and I cant even use the vide.
