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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I was a bit intimidated at first, but it's so easy to use and setup. The sound quality is beyond amazing; I already never want to shoot without it.

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!

The microphone is awesome! I own two others but this one runs circles around them. The quality and sound is better than I expected.

I enjoyed getting the bundle with the longer cable and mini Tripod that has turned out to be useful. The mic is obviously great quality so no need to convince you on Rodes quality.

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.

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.

From the renowned brand Rode, the VideoMic Pro On-Camera Shotgun Microphone with Boompole Accessory Kit is a professional-grade, high-quality audio solution designed for use with camcorders, DSLR cameras, and portable audio recorders. This versatile and portable microphone serves as a primary source of superior audio, ensuring crisp and clear sound for your recordings.
At the core of the VideoMic Pro is an innovative 1/2" condenser capsule that delivers broadcast-quality audio through a 3.5mm minijack connector, outputting the mono signal to both left and right channels. This advanced technology ensures an impressively low self-noise of just 14db, contributing to the microphone's high-quality sound output.
The VideoMic Pro features a supercardioid polar pattern, expertly designed to minimize surrounding audio and focus your recording on the subject in front of the camera. This makes it an ideal choice for on-camera use, where directional sound capture is crucial.
The microphone is equipped with an integrated Rycote Lyre-based shock mounting system. This innovative design isolates the VideoMic Pro capsule and electronics from its mount, effectively eliminating unwanted rumble and vibrations caused by external physical factors. The Lyre, constructed from a single piece of durable thermoplastic, offers superior acoustic suspension compared to traditional elastic solutions, ensuring longevity and consistent performance.
On the rear face of the microphone, you'll find easily accessible power, filter, and level controls. The microphone's native 40Hz-20kHz response is complemented by a selectable high-pass filter at 80Hz, designed to prevent low-end noise such as air conditioners and traffic from being recorded. The level settings include a -10dB level attenuation (or PAD), perfect for recording loud sound sources, and a +20dB level boost, specifically designed for use with DSLR cameras to reduce noise generated by the camera's audio circuitry.
The VideoMic Pro uses a standard-sized shoe mount for on-camera use and features a 3/8" thread in the base of the mount for easy boom pole mounting. The microphone is battery-powered, providing over 70 hours of recording from a single 9V battery. Proudly designed and made in Australia, the Rode VideoMic Pro On-Camera Shotgun Microphone with Boompole Accessory Kit is a testament to Rode's commitment to industry-leading audio solutions.
