Vidpro Mini Condenser Microphone Specs

connecting the condenser microphone, quite functional

good basic Large Capsule Condenser Microphone.

Use this to hold up my Blue Condenser Microphone. It's impressive because the microphone is extremely heavy #sweepstakes

I have used the recorder with 2 Vidpro XM-55 Shotgun and a Azden SMX-10 Stereo Microphone in 4 channel mode. Works wonderfully!

The Plastic mount bothered me from the start, but most brands seem to use them. It works very well mounted on a Cage with along with a �Microphone. It is a Very Bright, and Color Accurate LED. I just got the Vidpro Stabilizer too, so Yes you can get into Video on a Budget! I stand by my complaint that each buyer should post 1 review, (but I guess those guys were very excited, because it performs so well). Considering that this comes with Barn Doors attached, has a Slide in Diffuser and a decent Battery and a Charger, it's less than half the price of the other brands. The Vidpro line of accessories come very well packed, and when you use them, they leave you feeling very satisfied. As usual, the B&H Expedited Delivery is still the best around, and the Deal Zone is very well worth the time to check it Daily (I saved 30%).

Used the XM-55 Shotgun Microphone by Vidpro for a recent still and video shoot. I mounted it on a tripod-mounted extension arm with the adaptor cable connected to my DSLR. The sound capture was excellent, little or no autofocus noise (the separation of Microphone and DSLR via adaptor did the trick) and good audio. Really worth it if you want to improve your finished product.

I had no reason to get these mics except as a bucket-list thing to experience the best technology has to offer (I'm a gadget nerd). How do they perform and sound from a non-professional layperson's perspective? Better than my ears can do - literally. The very low noise floor, high sensitivity, and frequency response are beyond nature's design for the human ear. These are AMAZING mics to geek out over. They are small condenser mics with large condenser specs! Where I could test the m4's built in mics and find their limits of resolving sound, after months using these mics indoors and even outdoors, these are the last microphones I will ever need until a radical technological development fundamentally changes microphone design, and they should last a lifetime with the quality of the engineering (they even have corrosion-proof gold-plated diaphragms). As a non-professional, all I can say is if one just wants to splurge on mics to get a taste of pure quality, these are overkill for even that. These mics will outspec everything else in the signal chain (the specs are probably way higher than on paper due to an unfortunate misprint that has persistently stuck around (e.g. the max SPL is NOT 120db but more like 135-137, and that figure affects other reported specs)), and current eclectic analog-digital technology is very close to physical limits like thermal noise. The m4 mics are well-enough for me; they are good and suffice for recording most things clearly, the tf5's are incredible, so... they suffice too. That seems to be the bottom line for gear - if it suffices there is no point in overkill. Though, I haven't and probably won't grow tired of the tf5's; and it is wonderful to appreciate and enjoy the funfactor when otherwise they are just tools that suffice at doing their job. When money follows bliss instead of merely blood, sweat, and tears, life and the world become a better place to live. These mics enrich my life, and Rode's mics hit way above pricepoint!

This microphone is the best microphone around. I tested it against other microphones with similar specs and this one sounds much better.

Love the Rode NTG-1 Condenser Microphone. I use it with my Canon Mark 2

This is my first condenser microphone. The product was very easy to use and provided very good results. The mic is very affordable and looks amazing.
