Product description
Product Description
The RØDE VideoMic is a professional grade 1/2" condenser shotgun microphone designed for use with consumer video cameras and personal audio recorders. The integrated Rycote® Lyre shock mounting system isolates the VideoMic capsule and electronics from its all-metal shoe mount, providing isolation from external physical factors that may cause unwanted rumble and vibrations in the microphone. Its standard sized shoe mount also includes a 3/8" thread in the base for easy mounting on a boom pole or stand. (note that cameras with proprietary sized mounts require an additional adaptor.) Its super cardioid polar pattern is highly directional, focusing on the subject in front of the camera, and minimising any surrounding sounds. In addition to the microphone's native 40Hz-20kHz response a selectable high-pass filter at 80Hz is available, which will prevent low end noise such as air conditioners and traffic from being recorded. A -10dB and -20dB level attenuation (or PAD), selectable from inside the battery compartment, allows recording of loud sound sources, such as live music or motorsport. The RØDE VideoMic directional on-camera microphone is covered by RØDE Microphones' industry leading 10 year warranty.

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!
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!
