RØDE VideoMicro

Ii returned this because I Purchased for video recording songs but this mic is a Drlirectional mic ! This Mic is good and sound quality is best but not suitable for Those who want to sing and also Playig guitar together , this mic can't pick up my Both of Sound , vocals and Guitar together ! It has Noice Cancellation! So it can't take 2 sounds properly

Rode has always been the go to in the market for good audio gear. This one is no exception. It does a pretty good job with sound on my canon. Its really good value for the price. It comes with a wind sock in the package so that's a blessing. The microphone itself feels good in the hand and is pretty good quality. So is the wind sock/protector that comes with it. I would say that about the mount though. The mount that attaches the camera to the mic feels very flimsy and cheap. It handles the mic and the shocks from that camera very well, but still gives you a mini heart attack now and then. You have to be very gentle with it. There is a noticeable hiss from the mic when you listen to the raw clip but it's easily correctable in post production. Also, you might want to change your camera audio settings from auto to manual when you put this on. Works better that way. It is a pretty good product from rode and its decently priced. You wouldn't be too disappointed if you picked this up. Cheers, Vyshnav Baburaj.

Received it in two days. It's a great mic if you are into vlogging or want to make YouTube videos. Just plug it in your camera or laptop and it starts working. Note that the mic will not work your Smartphone using the included cable and you'll have to buy a separate cable (tested with Nexus 5, LG Q6 and Redmi Note 3). The furry windshield does a great job of blocking the wind noise.

Waste of money. The phone mic is better! Delivery was not good too.

I bought this with probably high expectations, because it was Rode brand. However, for the price it is quite disappointing. Noise cancellation is crap. I shot one video with this mic and despite no fan, there was slight white noise. Audio quality-wise... The low-end gets reduced and the mid to high-end is amplified a bit. However, the difference in quality of the audio of this mic and my camera (Canon 200D Mark 4) wasn't notable. If you're a beginner and need something to work with your phone, this might be a good choice. But if you're an intermediate creator wanted to invest in a better sounding mic, I'd recommend to check other alternatives. (Edit after 2 months of use) I was searching YouTube for ways to make this mic work better and found a video where it showed that the camera's default settings is the reason behind the background noise of the mic. So I changed the camera's settings and the mic is working better now. So if you get this mic, know that you'll have to make setting changes to that the mic does not work with high sensitivity while recording. It's a pretty decent product.

A light Weight Microphone with Good Sound Clarity perfect for Outdoor Usage This is my first product from this company and my experience has been good so far. (I have done a detailed sound comparison review on YouTube. You can search "Best Budget Microphones for YouTube by the Indian Dreamer".) There was lot of models available with them but I selected this because it is light weight and does not requires additional battery. It takes its power directly from the camera. As per my observations, the microphone is good for outdoor usage. Along, the wind shield flurry cover, the wind noises were suppressed to a great extent. But, when I tried using it indoor, I noticed some hissing sound. Which I had to remove later in the editing. The rycote shock mount works perfectly in reducing noises due to vibrations. It fits very nicely on the camera's horse shoe mount and does not increases the overall weight.

I record video with my Conon 70D and audio with my Galaxy S8. This is easy to sync later. The camera is not capable of recording the sound in the format I like nor is it as crisp or clean. With my smartphone, the Røde adaptor and an external app I can record clean, crisp sound outdoors at 48khz WAV which is very easy to sync later. I also trialled plugging the mic into my camera and it had a hum and more noise. On further investigation, this is the camera, not the microphone. This microphone comes with a Global 2 year guarantee when purchased from this seller, which is really important for me as I live in Sweden. I was shocked to discover last year that Samsung does not as I bought a Galaxy S7 in India which did not work in Europe and was not guaranteed at all. In fact Samsung produces inferior products for the Indian market, even though they are the same price as Europe. This time I did my homework and am very satisfied with my purchase.

I got this item and there was so good packing you can buy this item sound quality is also good but one thing there is there if you do blogs something for YouTube so you can buy this is very good for youtube but if you buying this for like singing or something so I think so you should not buy this because you will not get the better quality as you will get in 8000 audio technica microphone so if you are buying used for singing purposes so please don't buy it overall the quality is good but it's depend on you.

Ótimo investimento, produto original bem embalado chegou bem antes do previsto, super indico a compra na loja

I never review it for a meantime because I want it to know how good it the microphone and I am glad to do it. Because I can review it in front to my viewer in my vlog what is the product I have and worth to buy and it’s worth it I love the sounds and it’s very handy

Alles in orde

Kompaktes, leichtes und sehr hochwertiges Mikrofon! Das RØDE VideoMicro liefert klaren, sauberen Klang ohne Rauschen – perfekt für Videos, Vlogs und unterwegs. Einfach auf die Kamera stecken, kein Akku nötig, sofort einsatzbereit. Robuste Verarbeitung und großer Klanggewinn gegenüber integrierten Kameramikros. Top Preis-Leistung – klare Empfehlung!

This is a fantastic, space saving mic. Rode makes several mics, the video micro and the video mic go being the most popular. When I was making my selection, I wanted a less conspicuous mic that didn't protrude too far over my camera body. Sound quality Very sensitive mic. I have a clock on the wall in my living room and you can clearly hear the ticking of the clock when we record videos. It truly is amazing how well this little mic picks up sound! As this is an Omni directional mic, it will pick up sounds all around the camera. To help reduce this a little bit, I put some electrical tape around the rear mics and it's been perfect for my applications, which are geared a little more to vlog or conversation, as opposed to picking up ambient sounds. Build quality Excellent so far. It lives in my wandrd camera cube and I don't baby it in any way. Appears to be quality material for the application. Weight Very light weight, especially if you want to use a gimbal (if space permits). My only gripe is that the deadcat can be difficult to attach to the mic. The inner lip of the dead cat is recessed quite a ways, so it can be quite the challenge to get it to catch onto the mic attachment point. But this is a small issue when compared to all of the positives with the mic.
