good audio but rubber tie downs drives me nuts!

It captures good quality audio within about 15ft.

Flimsy but captures great audio

Make sure you do some sound test before you do some actual recording or you could have a really good video with really bad audio

This is a great microphone that delivers top quality audio for how small it is.

This mic produces great audio and is a major upgrade from the Cannon 5D mark III built in microphone.

I personally prefer to record my audio separately, off camera, with a zoom or a tascam, and then sync back in post, but i have found that for certain situations (especially run and gun type filmmaking) that is not always possible, and it's nice to have a good backup of at least decent quality audio with the rode on the camera at all times, just in case something goes wrong with my other audio options

It picks up very good audio and blocks out most winds.

the rode videomic pro, you can get some pretty great audio, essential especially for the times you can't rely on other externally recorded audio options.

Without that, the audio would be pretty crisp, though.

Gave me great audio in noisy gymnasium

If you are looking for an easy way to improve the audio in your videos, look elsewhere -- this isn't it

Not as clear as a lav, of course, but picks up great audio nonetheless.

The audio was just plain terrible.

I've been run and gun shooting, filming a documentary in villages outside of Guadalajara and this mic picked up amazing audio in crowds of 200, outside a hospital with hundreds of people around with many sirens, and also at the Olympics in Brazil.

and it gets pretty good audio

All of these videos have great audio now.

could audio be better

I listen to a lot of podcasts so from that I have high expectations of good, clean, clear audio and this delivers.

, it's still best to get as close to the subject as possible for the best audio

It just helps save your butt when you need to capture something that can hold its own next to good audio.

I tend to run on the +20 setting as I find it's easiest to capture louder audio from the microphone and lower it in post rather than regret that the volume was too low

Fantastic audio pickup and professional quality

The Rode VideoMic quickly garnered the respect of many indie film makers as an inexpensive but excellent mobile audio solution without the purchase of a separate recording device

It picks up great audio and adds professional sound quality to my videos

and it records nice audio indoors and outdoors

Usable really good scratch audio

This won't tackle amazing audio for you

I spent several hours reviewing various microphones online and concluded that the Videomic Pro is the one to get if you want to improve the audio on your video.

I have used a rode vmp extensively in the past... the +20db gain setting, when coupled with lowering my DSLR's gain level results in clean, hiss-free audio, that sounds quite decent under the right circumstances (and far, far better than any camera's pitiful internal mics

This is a great microphone that can produce excellent audio if it is coupled with Magic Lantern on the

This mic delivers decent quality audio

The audio from the mic is great - it's quite sensitive but reducing to -10DB is generally adequate for normal interview situations - relatively quiet room, one subject facing camera and mic

I have used a rode vmp extensively in the past... the +20db gain setting, when coupled with lowering my DSLR's gain level results in clean, hiss-free audio, that sounds quite decent under the right circumstances (and far, far better than any camera's pitiful internal mics

A giant leap forward for sorry camera mics and audio...

Improves the audio by miles

You will however notice the increase in subscribers and part of that reason will be because your audio is so much better and more clear.

Fortunately, in most situations, the Lumix G6 captures good quality audio

I bought this Rode VMP for my Canon T2i because it was smaller than the previous Rode VideoMic and had this new control to boost audio by +20db

Key:I find it provides decent enough audio when plugged into my Canon 5d with the dial settings recommended by Dave Dugdale in his YouTube review (5d audio input two clicks up from zero, and the +20db setting on the VideoMic Pro

It always seems hit-or-miss as to how it fits, but it eventually falls into place

but you must be careful with the 20 ft cord as it can break if you don't handle it with TLC
