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 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 minimizing any surrounding sounds.

About this product

Product Information

The Rode VideoMic GO Light Weight On-Camera Microphone provides you with clear directional audio on the go. It delivers crisp sound with incredible ease of use. This Rode microphone was designed with a tight pickup area that focuses directly in front of the mic and reduces other surrounding noise. This ensures that your subject is isolated from the background sound. The integrated rycote lyre shock mount protects this audio microphone from bumps and vibrations that would interfere with your sound. For your convenience, this device is powered by your camera's external microphone input, so there are no switches or settings to learn. The Rode VideoMic GO Light Weight On-Camera Microphone requires no batteries to operate, so you never miss a great shot. It is constructed of a single piece of thermoplastic to ensure that it is durable, so it won't wear out. It can withstand plenty of use.

Good if Preset
This mic is great, except if you need to make some settings changes while on the fly. The dip switches require a toothpick or something similar to flip them. These switches are also located inside the battery compartment and require removal of the battery. Over all great mic just know what your settings will be before you leave the house.

Great product. Great value.
***Updated – This review is for the VideoMic PRO. For some reason ebay asked me to write a review thinking I bought the $150 VideoMic. I realized this afterwards.*** I'm a video production professional, and where I work we use boom mics that easily cost in the thousands of dollars. I bought a Rode VideoMic Pro for a project that I recently did outside of work. I was a little hesitant to buy this at first, but only a little because of the overwhelming positive reviews I kept reading or viewing about it online. And since it was about $200 w/ free shipping, I figured it was my best bet. Well, it wasn't really a bet at all. It was a no brainer in hindsight, because this microphone proved to be fantastic. I would feel completely comfortable using my Canon DSLR with this mic, side by side with the $15,000 Sony camera and booms we use at work – and one of the booms we have where I work is top notch. The VideoMic sounds great, it's easy to use, and very affordable for the quality.Read full review

Great quality audio with excellent features and price point.
The Actual Mic I bought is the Rode VideoMic Pro VMP Shotgun Microphone. The Rode video mics are known for their quality. Purchased for use with Canon t4i DSLR and on a boom pole. The mic has great features a dB +20 boost and -10dB reduction. Very nice quality mono sound - I Usually use a lavalier for interviews but will use this also. Easy to use just plug in and go. For events and spontaneous interviews and sound it is perfect. Also great price point. I am going to pick up a dead cat wind muff for it also, essential for outside filming.

Good functionality, not great design.
This thing works well. It’s a bit heavier than I expected. This mic has its own power, so you always have to power it up (and I forget sometimes). Also, the sensitivity adjustment can only be accessed by taking the battery out and using a very very small screwdriver or other tool.

well worth the money
I would not say it was "better" than I expected. In my business we use high end products for broadcast. We decided to "try" the Rode with one of our video camera. It does sound good but not comparable to our our broadcast shotgun mics.(long tube). It does sound a little tinny but easily controlled on a mixer or in post mix down. I am quite pleased with its quality. I give it 4 stars.
