This is a good ideal size and performance for those who are on a budget but want a good Mic
Dislike : size for vlogging, i knew it would be bigger than its smaller brother but it is only once on the camera and using it arms extended or traveling that you realize size might be why you would stop using it at some point..
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.
Using it on a Panasonic G7, great sound, compact size and no batteries to worry about.
The Rode VideoMicro really improved audio vs the internal mic of my FZ300, the shotgun pattern works well and the dead-cat wind screen is very effective
But connection between mic and cable is faulty--mic doesn't work unless tension is placed on cable (I have to wrap it around the lens)
the stability aspect of the mic began to get flimsy and then the audio stopped working, all my clips had distortion in the audio
The wind noise canceling dead cat (more like a dead gerbil) works like a pro.
This mic works amazingly well, especially for the price tag
While not as good as having a mic attached to the person speaking, this Rode microphone has been the next best thing.)
This thing doesn't turn off with your camera and although this isn't a design flaw, it will sneak up and bite you sometimes
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
Love this thing I can set up shop anywhere and get the best quality recording
Came with a fuzzy dead cat thing to cut down wind noise and it works quite well
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.
Intermittent static and noise on the mic but not sure if it's the mic or the phone - galaxy s6
Not as good as the Video Mic Pro but doesn't require a battery and is a lot more affordable
When in the wind it isn't as great as I would hope, however works perfectly with my GH4 and the quality is great
Incredibly frustrating and not sure how they can even sell a microphone that produces so much weird audio feedback
I use mine on top of my Canon T6i, as well as on the end of the Rode Micro Boom Pole, and with a microphone boom stand, and I have enjoyed the high quality sound his microphone provides
When in the wind it isn't as great as I would hope, however works perfectly with my GH4 and the quality is great
Using the Galaxy S7 Edge, I get a static feedback while recording with or without the windshield
Not as good as the Video Mic Pro but doesn't require a battery and is a lot more affordable
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
that's pretty good, but has alot of irritating background hiss noise.
I'm writing this one-star review after another frustrating video editing session where nothing I just shot is useable due to the LOUD hissing sound from the mic
They sound like a motor they purr sound loud, but the hissing from this mic is so loud you can even hear the purr
There was significant hiss recorded with the audio
