  • Perfect mic for multiple camera setups
Model name: VideoMicro II
I recently used this microphone with my iPhone 15 Pro Max, and it works great. The directionality really enhances our audio quality, taking our recordings to the next level. I took it on vacation to Bora Bora, where we filmed unforgettable moments, and it proved to be incredibly durable. Despite dropping the mic several times, it showed no signs of damage, which is impressive. The compact size is another bonus, making it easy to carry along. It doesn't impact the battery life of my phone, which is essential for long filming sessions. Considering the high-quality results we achieve, I believe the value is well worth it. I can easily see this microphone being useful for other cameras, like my full-frame Sony or Fuji as well. ... show more

  • Great compact mic, no external power required.
Model name: VideoMicro II
The RØDE VideoMicro II has been an excellent addition to my video recording setup. Its ultra-compact design and premium build quality immediately stand out when you first handle it. The all-metal construction feels solid but still lightweight. This is important because I'm using it on a small GoPro. What's most impressive is the audio quality this tiny microphone delivers. The supercardioid pickup pattern effectively captures clear, focused sound from subjects in front of the camera while minimizing background noise. I appreciate the thoughtful design of this external mic. The simplicity of use is another advantage. There are no batteries required or complicated controls to fiddle with – just plug it in and start recording. This makes it ideal for quick setups when inspiration strikes or when I'm traveling light. The included cables for both camera (TRS) and smartphone (TRRS) connections add to its versatility. Overall, the RØDE VideoMicro II delivers quality audio in a convenient compact package. I know there are knockoffs you can get for cheaper but if you want the real thing, buy this one. ... show more

  • Big Sound in a Tiny Package!
Model name: VideoMicro II
The RØDE VideoMicro II is an impressive upgrade for anyone looking to improve their camera or mobile audio. It’s ultra-compact, super lightweight, and doesn’t require batteries — just plug and play. Despite its small size, the sound quality is clear, directional, and a massive improvement over built-in mics. The included shock mount and windscreen are excellent additions, making it great for vlogging, interviews, or field recording. It works flawlessly with both my DSLR and smartphone (with the right adapter). If you're serious about upping your audio game without bulky gear, this mic delivers in a big way. Highly recommended! ... show more

  • 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). ... show more

  • Compact yet professional quality sound!
Model name: VideoMicro II
Weight is everything when you already have a heavy video rig and are trying to save as much weight as possible. At 39g the Rode Video Micro II does just that. Saves on the weight without sacrificing performance. With no battery required, the Rode Video Micro II boasts an easy plug and play design that is perfect for content creators of all kinds. Included is a TRS to TRS cable (the black one) for DSLR/Mirrorless cameras and also a TRS to TRRS cable for smartphones and tablets (the red one). Make sure you use the correct cable. I didn't read the instructions and made the mistake of using the incorrect one with my Sony A7IV. The cardioid polar pattern for focused audio provides professional grade sound while minimizing background noise and focusing on the subject directly in front of the microphone. I really appreciate the all metal body, rycote helix isolation mount, and both the foam and furry windshields included. Rode provided a fantastic, high quality, professional grade compact microphone that saves weight and sounds amazing. I would highly recommend this to any content creator looking for a lightweight compact professional grade microphone. ... show more

  • Mic sounds GOOD/adequate for vlogging.
Model name: VideoMicro II
I use this mic for vlogging. I didn’t want to spend too much in case I lost interest in vlogging, so I went cheap. I was worried it wouldn’t sound good, but after using it on over 20 videos I have to say that I’m very pleased. It’s not a Sure, or an MXL, but it gets the job done. It also attaches to your camera. This is one COOL mic. Rode really does make GOOD products. ... show more
