Rode Microphones Videomicro Microphone

I have tried several different on-camera microphones (Rode VideoMicro, MXL, Sennheiser) and they all sounded awful because of the weak mic output level. The VideoMic Pro actually works because it has a switch that will give you a 20dB boost of the mic's output. This hotter signal from the mic allows you to turn down the noisy preamp on your camera and essentially lower the preamp hiss.

I use this adapter to help connect the Rode VideoMicro Ultracompact shotgun microphone to my iPhone 12. Works great.

The Rode VideoMicro microphone is a great addition to any mobile video kit. The directional mic does really well with picking up your subject and filtering out ambient noise. The boom pole that comes with this kit is lightweight yet sturdy and is a great addition to the mobile kit. The cable that comes with the kit allows you to use the mic with the boompole. The cable works for cameras, but not for mobile phones.

I bought the Rode Videomicro to use as an external microphone for my GoPro Hero 4+ Silver. It is an excellent mic at picking up sounds and voices directly in front of it; which is expected being a shotgun style. I highly recommend this microphone.

I bought this to use the Rode Videomicro in the iPhone and works perfect!

I previously used Rode videomicro I, and I experienced noticeable improvements!

Initially, I purchased a Deity V – Mic D3 Pro microphone. It’s a decent microphone much better than the in camera microphones however, it’s very noisy. After filming about five football games, I decided to upgrade to the Rode microphone. One of the biggest reasons that I initially purchased it was it will turn on when you turn your camera on and turn off when you turn your camera off. On two occasions, I had forgotten to turn off my Deity mic so when I turned it back on the battery was dead. The auto on off with the.Rode microphone was worth the purchase however, this microphone has the best sound out of all the microphones I’ve tried. I highly recommend you try one of these before you go to anything else.. this microphone is very quiet. You can get rid of superfluous noise and it has a lot of features on it that Mike in this price range do not. Give it a try and if you don’t like it, BNH will take it back. They have a great policy also. Good job BNH.

I haven't previously purchased any rode microphones, but I have been really impressed with this microphone. It does all of the features that are in the product description really well. The charging works, the gain dial is a nice touch, and everything just works. On top of all of that, it sounds really good as well. If you need a mic to plug into your camera, get this one

Works fine to extend Rode VideoMicro cable for off-camera use.

Just great! I bought one to go on a mic stand so I could attach my Rode VideoMicro to it.
