Review: Fantastic microphone! - Firstly, The RØDE VideoMic Microphone is a BRILLIANT microphone. It provides clear, crisp, professional quality audio, at a very good price. This microphone is capable of doing a lot more than on camera work. I have used this product with my PC, for contacting my friends, and communicating with people when playing games online. As well as this, this microphone is great at being used as a boom mic for a video. This microphone tops any built-in microphones on cameras or phones, and it is a great way to improve quality of videos for things like YouTube, Twitch or general video projects in general. Pros of this microphone: - Brilliant, Crisp, Sharp Audio - Great price for performance - Works with many platforms: - PC - Mac - Camera - Audio Recorder - Phone (with adapter) - Uses standard 3.5mm jack connector - Shock mount reduces knocks and bumps greatly - Foam covering reduces noise from wind quite well - built in cable stretches well - built in high pass filter Cons of this microphone: - audio cable isn't replaceable - requires 9v battery for power - quite large - can sometimes be seen in the camera shot (when mounted on hotshot mount) when using wide angle lens This product is amazing for the price, can't recommend it enough!
Review: Good uni-directional microphone (video link provided) - The main reason I purchased this microphone was that it is unidirectional, and hence ideal for recording music in a relatively noisy environment. I have found that this works very well as evidenced by the video filmed with a Panasonic SD90 outside a pub at a music festival, with quite a lot of noise going on at either side of the performer. Unfortunately I can't give you a link to the video, as external links are not allowed in desertcart reviews. However if you Google "Sue Stevens Laddie 2012" you should come across a YouTube video titled "Dear Laddie, Sue Stevens, Bromsgrove Folk Festival, July 2012". If you can find this video have a look and see what you think. If you are wondering why I didn't jsut upload the video to the "video review" here, I tried, but it just didn't work. The directional microphone needs to be used with care. For example if you are interviewing someone who points out something of interest behind you, it's no good panning round as they continue to talk, as their voice will fade away! The other reason for purchasing this microphone was to improve sound quality and to lessen the effect of wind. The sound quality of the built in microphone of the Panasonic camcorder was pretty good, and so it was difficult to recognize a significant improvement in general recording, but it did noticeably overcome problems of recording in a light breeze. The microphone is attached to a mounting system that is designed to cut out camera and it is questionable as to how long the rubber loops will last. However another reviewer has made the point that these can easily be replaced by inexpensive O-Rings and so this is not a problem. The microphone is relatively large and dwarfs my camcorder, but at least it's not very heavy and so again not much of a problem, as long as you have a bag that it will fit into. Finally, the only real problem that I have had is to forget to switch it on. I would strongly recommend that once you start filming for the day switch it on and leave it on. The pp3 battery is supposed to last for more than 100hrs, and so the cost of doing this far outweighs the cost of losing valuable footage!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, but research your camera and this mic combo first!
*by R***P on 2 July 2014*

This mic seems to be good. I definitely get a fuller sound than I do from the on-board mic on my camcorder. The problem lies, I believe, mainly with Canon cameras. I have the Canon M52 camcorder, and as this is a video mic, I expected things to be sweet, but I was disappointed. There is a distinct hiss under all my recordings using this mic with the Canon camcorder (search the two of them for why this is). If I film in a noisy environment, the hiss is un-noticeable (so far, anyway), but when you film someone talking in a quiet environment, the hiss makes the footage quite unusable! I've looked into the problem and I haven't been able to find a solution for my camera, although there are solutions out there for DSLR cameras; it didn't work with mine. I've decided to keep the Rode Videomic, because, as I said, it records (seemingly) well in a noisy environment, much better than the on-board mic, and I've now purchased (after much research) a separate recording device. No one said audio for video was going to be easy, I just thought it would be. It can be complicated, expensive, and time consuming trying to get it all to work the way you want it to, as different situations are going to call for different set ups, but that's part of the fun, and definitely a major part of the learning process. As for build quality, it is excellent, the Rycote Lyre Mount works, and, as this is by far the most important thing, it does look very good in the camera rig, especially when it's sat on top of a camera grip!
