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
  • 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.

  • At $60 price point it’s a great buy to enhance your video quality
  • Really a great buy with the shock mount and dead cat (which really does kill wind noise).

Reviews around job (4.44 of 5)

  • It does a great job of recording the sound while taking out all external wind and such
  • 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 piece of garbage made me lose a job
  • This microphone does a great job at reducing that wind noise
  • Clear, directional sound, and it does a great job of eliminating side and back noise.

Reviews around work (4.15 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around thing (3.76 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around static (2.22 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around kitten (1.49 of 5)

  • Not sure what it was, but I’m suspicious that it was the missing dead kitten
  • 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 didn’t bring the dead kitten because it wasn’t windy, but the crowds can be loud
  • I love the cable strain relief - helps keep the dead kitten out of the GoPro shot by limiting the bounce

Reviews around hiss (1.37 of 5)

  • 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
