Reviews around size (4.75 of 5)

  • This is a good ideal size and performance for those who are on a budget but want a good Mic
  • Using it on a Panasonic G7, great sound, compact size and no batteries to worry about.
  • A longer microphone would have been in the shot, so the size of this mic works great for small cameras
  • Perfect size for my a6300 and definitely an improvement over on-board mic.
  • The size is smallest I've seen, except if you were to have a lavaliere mic, but the compact size and sound quality makes this a great budget purchase

Reviews around job (4.44 of 5)

  • This piece of garbage made me lose a job
  • It does a great job of recording the sound while taking out all external wind and such
  • Overall a good product, and although a bit overpriced does the job well
  • So if my mic that I got did actually work it does a poor job at making audio sound any better if not at all
  • This microphone does a great job at reducing that wind noise

Reviews around work (4.15 of 5)

  • the stability aspect of the mic began to get flimsy and then the audio stopped working, all my clips had distortion in the audio

Reviews around product (3.87 of 5)

  • The sound quality is great, but this product is expensive!
  • I thought the first one was just defective - apparently, the product is defective.
  • Rode has a great reputation but this product has a number of critical flaws
  • For being what it is and still being relatively cheap, this is a great product
  • The replacement will be returned and I do not recommend this product to anyone

Reviews around thing (3.76 of 5)

  • i have nothing but good things to say, well, only 1 thing: when the mic is attached to my cellphone, and the wireless or data (either one) is turned on, the microphone will actually pick up the sound of data being transmitted and received.i actually "returned" because i thought it was picking up some kind of weird noise.
  • My one complaint is the tiny thing only comes with a *huge* deadcat wind muff, and there do not seem to be options for a small, foam wind muff like I would prefer
  • The good thing about this microphone is that you don't need to have any kind of power source to use it
  • You do need to use the fuzzy thing almost all the time because even the slightest winds will kill the quality.
  • After five minutes of recording a noise like static starts and gets louder over there next five minutes until the only thing you can hear is the noise of static

Reviews around static (2.22 of 5)

  • This mic is not worth $1, since we were never able to get it working with an without crazy static
  • Flexible Built-in MicYou have to keep in mind that this wireless microphone for iphone is characterized with tiny shotgun as well as it can be directly picked up in front of it
  • terrible static during filming on Iphone 6swaste of money!
  • The missing fifth star is due to the fact that they plastic shock mount broke (one arm only, so it still works) as it isn't easy to remove from the mic for storage.
  • When in the wind it isn't as great as I would hope, however works perfectly with my GH4 and the quality is great

Reviews around feedback (1.95 of 5)

Reviews around kitten (1.49 of 5)

  • Holy s--t!
  • Great reproduction of sound quality with an included "dead kitten" for blocking out wind
  • Portable and love that I didn't have to pay extra for the dead kitten
  • I love the cable strain relief - helps keep the dead kitten out of the GoPro shot by limiting the bounce
  • Not sure what it was, but I’m suspicious that it was the missing dead kitten

Reviews around cat (1.48 of 5)

  • Should come bundled with the fluffy wind sock / dead cat
  • The "dead cat" was very useful and minimized a lot of wind noise during our shoot in downtown DC on a windy day
  • nice and dead cat / wind sock does work good, it does capture good sound as I tested on my daughters ipod, just wish it would have worked on my camcorder.
  • The dead cat is superb, and the shock absorber is fantastic.
  • The wind noise canceling dead cat (more like a dead gerbil) works like a pro.

Reviews around hiss (1.37 of 5)

  • There was significant hiss recorded with the audio
  • Now, I know the hissing can be cleared up a bit post production, but I thought It wouldn't be a problem at all
  • that's pretty good, but has alot of irritating background hiss noise.
  • Although the sound from the Comica vm10ii mic was good, the hiss was so loud, I had to lower the cameras preamps to extremely so levels so the audio became too low
  • This MIC is a really good MIC in recording high quality, crisp sound, but sometimes when there is no dialogue, and there is an action that doesn't have much sound, like a door opening and closing, there can be quite a loud hiss in the background

  • The VideoMic Go suffers from intense popping and static noises
  • Im experiencing static popping noise in all my videos with my go pro hero 5 and my
  • There is a very rhythmic popping, and some other random noise
  • For some reason it introduces sharp popping sounds into your audio
  • The wind screen that came with it acts as an excellent pop filter and is a definite plus.

Reviews around noise (1.20 of 5)

  • However, in those scenarios I have found that I typically don't need the mic or I am outside and there is enough noise going on that I don't notice the static sounds
  • Good sound quality, and very high audio gain (sometimes I have to bring down the volume when editing the video), also great noise reduction
  • Microphone has static noise when recording it's gotten worse over time other than that it's great
  • Surprisingly good directionality and side/rear noise rejection
  • I used it in desert wind, hoping to record the wind and not cracking noises
