Great, but bad switches

Great mic for Pro Video Makers. A must have. The only real complaint I have is: For a $200+ mic, I got the worst switches in my life. They will not stay on.

A great budget mic for boom setups!

I picked this up mainly for using on a boom for sit down interviews. I also considered the NTG2 but after watching a lot of reviews and getting feedback from friends, I decided to give this mic a try. I'm very impressed with the quality from such an affordable mic. I haven't used it on camera yet but I'm sure the results will be impressive as well.

Good mic, super easy to use, durable and light.

Love this mic. The quality has been good enough for my projects, its way better than the built-in mic on my 5D mii. Its small (enough) and lightweight, so I always keep it in a side pocket in my camera bag for when I need it. It takes like 10 seconds to install and turn on. Main drawback: I have forgotten to turn it on on multiple occasions, and if it's plugged in but not turned on then the camera records no audio so you end up without a baseline track to even sync your secondary audio sources to. That's just operator error and not the mics fault. Would I recommend it? Totally.

Excellent quality sound

This mic is amazing. I use it for VO recordings, on a boom for film shoots, and mounted on my camera for quick shots. Crisp, clear, quiet sound. Extremely happy with this mic. The accessories were all in great condition and attached easily.

This mic sounds great

Works well. The sound is a big step up over the built in mic on my Canon 70D. My only complaint is that changing out the battery is a little fiddly and inconvenient.

This mic really works as advertised. Easy to install, clear audio to my video files. I would recommend this mic to anyone starting to take more professional video. Plus, if you register your unit with RODE, you could get a 10 year warranty! Hard to beat that!

Great Mic That Give Great Audio

As a beginner to creating films nabbing this was a great idea. All over the internet you can see praise for it and with good reason: this thing yields amazing audio for a really good price. I've tried cheaper shotgun mics and they always ended up with some extra noise that killed the scene. This has proven across all of my shots so far to be very high quality.

Works as advertised!

By william s.

I like this mic through limited use. It's very lightweight but seems durable. Sound quality is good. The option to tweak for really loud scenarios is great, I mostly shoot live bands.

An essential tool for videographers and content creators, the RODE VideoMic Pro is a professional-grade shotgun microphone meticulously engineered for seamless integration with camcorders, DSLR cameras, and portable audio recorders. This high-quality mic is centered around an advanced 1/2" condenser capsule that delivers broadcast-quality audio through a 3.5mm minijack connector. The output sends a mono signal to both left and right channels, ensuring a consistent and clear audio experience with an impressively low self-noise of just 14db.

The VideoMic Pro's supercardioid polar pattern is expertly designed to focus on sounds directly in front of the camera while significantly reducing any surrounding noise, making it an ideal choice for capturing audio in dynamic and unpredictable environments. The microphone's durability is enhanced by the integrated Rycote Lyre shock mounting system, which isolates the microphone from external vibrations and rumble, thanks to its construction from a robust, single piece of thermoplastic that outperforms traditional elastic suspensions and offers long-lasting performance without degradation.

Ease of use is a key feature of the VideoMic Pro, with power, filter, and level controls conveniently located on the rear of the mic for quick adjustments. The selectable high-pass filter at 80Hz is a versatile addition, allowing users to eliminate distracting low-frequency noises such as air conditioners and traffic from their recordings. The level settings provide the flexibility to attenuate or boost the recorded level as needed, with a -10dB PAD perfect for recording loud sources and a +20dB level boost tailored for DSLR cameras, enabling a reduction in preamp noise by lowering the camera's preamp level.

Designed for versatility, the microphone includes a standard-sized shoe mount for on-camera use and a 3/8" thread at the base for easy boom pole mounting. The VideoMic Pro is powered by a single 9V battery, offering over 70 hours of recording time, ensuring that you can focus on your production without constant power concerns.

Proudly designed and manufactured in Australia by Rode, a leader in the audio industry, the VideoMic Pro with Rycote Lyre Shockmount and Windshield Kit stands as a testament to professional audio capture, promising durability, high-quality performance, and versatility for filmmakers and audio professionals seeking to elevate their production value.
