    Rode VideoMicPro Compact Directional On-Camera Microphone with Rycote Lyre Shockmount

    • after tidying up the MXL adapter by molding the female jack to the mini USB jack at 90 degrees (pointing up), that greatly improved things
    • This thing is tiny, and that's a good thing
    • Came with a fuzzy dead cat thing to cut down wind noise and it works quite well
    • 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.
    • The thing doesn’t work
    • almost zero love it excellent and the most beautiful thing it doesn't need batteries or power.
    • This little thing does wonders
    • Love this thing
    • love this thing no complaints.
    • The great thing about this as well is that it can be attached to a boom pole and a secondary recorder
    • Still, for its recording purposes and portability, I praise this thing.
    • 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
    • Haven't used it much but expecting great things!
    • This thing is awesome
    • This thing is amazing
    • As a result I haven't taken it out until I find the right... idk, box thing
    • Furry windscreen is a definite plus too--those things are expensive!
    • love this thing no complaints.
    • Otherwise you won't enjoy how amazing this thing is for 50 bucks
    • Best thing is there is no battery's involved.
    • this thing works great
    • Glad there are no batteries in it, less thing to worry about.
    • The good thing about this microphone is that you don't need to have any kind of power source to use it
    • but this thing is great!!!
    • This thing is great.
    • I use this microphone everyday for my vlog and can't say enough good things about it
    • 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
    • Amazing sound quality, this thing improved the sound of both my Sony Handycam and Nikon D3200
    • Love this thing
    • This thing really improves the audio quality on an iPhone or other smartphone a ton when shooting video
    • You do need to use the fuzzy thing almost all the time because even the slightest winds will kill the quality.
    • Only thing that would give better audio would probably be a lav mic, but that's not very portable or mobile for a phone.
    • Nice enough thing, unfortunately does not fit the Galaxy Note 4 or likely any phone with the camera on the same end as the headphone jack.
    • This thing is so perfect
    • 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
    • I've been using this Mic for around 6 months now and I can't say enough good things about it
    • Since I don't have a DSLR that has an audio input I thought the next best thing would to have my iPhone record sound and this Rode mic does this perfectly
    • This thing does not work AT ALL with the NIKON D3300
    • Another thing worth mentioning is that the cap for the microphone to hold steady is insanely hard to pull off
    • While not as good as having a mic attached to the person speaking, this Rode microphone has been the next best thing.)
    • good thing i bought the extended warranty
    • But the real important things should be that it plug into any device and not have any noise issues.
    • Love this thing I can set up shop anywhere and get the best quality recording
    • Great compared to any on camera mic i still get some grain when i record at times but still a useful thing to have for anyone who shoots video since its so compact
    • Holy s--t!
