Rode Videomicro Compact On Camera Microphone Review

This cord connects a RDE VideoMicro Compact On-Camera Microphone to a phone so that the mono mic will record to both channels using an Android recorder app. Nothing to add other than it works!

I need compact and high quality microphone for my travel camera - VideoMicro is best that I found. The microphone powering from camera. Windshield in a set.

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

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.

With either a SC6 (Rode Cable) and SC7 (Rode Adapter) I was able to connect my headphone and VideoMicro Compact to my Iphone 6s+. Much more mobile and ready to do what I need to do.

This Rode VideoMicro Compact On-Camera Microphone Kit for Smartphones is my second RODE Shotgun mic for the smartphone. I have moved to use a Gimbal when I shoot video with my Samsung S9 and my Samsung Galaxy Note Edge. Using my S9 I shot a completely outdoor wedding and reception and you could not tell the difference between that video and one that. was shot with one of my HD camcorders, the main difference was your back was not hurting from holding the HD cam on your shoulder or using a Steadicam rig. I use the Rode VideoMicro Compact mike kit connected to a DigitalFoto L bracket along with an on-camera light with temperature control.  The Samsung Galaxie Note Edge comes into play with the phone placed Airplane Mode and a Lavalier mic plugged in using a Voice Recorder app. We placed the cell in the groom's inside coat pocket and the mic picked up every word the Bride and Groom said. When you use the Rode VideoMicro on camera kit be sure to order the mic that comes with the additional cable. Then when in the edit you just match the audio with the mouths and you're all set, do the same with the music in the reception matching beat for beat with the .MP3 and what the DJ was playing. Be sure to order the TRS to TRRS cable for the smartphone that's B&H # ROVIDEOMICPC and you will save a couple of bucks.

For the price point, the RODE VideoMicro is a solid on-camera mic for capturing clear, quality audio whether for a scratch track or use in your video. It also is of the highest quality in construction - solidly built. But, what makes this such a solid piece of gear is that it has such sound quality that it can double as a small boom mic when paired with RODE's extension cable... so, you Beginner Filmmakers... save yourself some money and invest in this versatile microphone! HIGHLY Recommend!!!

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