I've been using this mic since about August of 2023, attached to my Canon camcorder. The difference in sound quality over the built-in mic is amazing! As my channel grows, I plan to use it in other ways, and it's nice to know this is an all-in-one mic for my needs. Great video!

Thanks for this video! I just ordered and excitedly waiting for it to arrive. Been using my old cheap microphone and it kept failing on me. This is a good choice because I can truly grow with it. I yet to own a camera that has audio jack, but probably one day I will. I like that this mic can be used as a table mic as well. Thank you so much. Truly needed this for my 10th video. I’m fed up of seeing my audio fail on me.

*i love RODE products. I own Both the Rode Wireless Go and Go II along with The VideoMic Go II and All of them along with my Rode Lavalier Mic Work AMAZING!!. Defiantly worth the Money & Value , Also I wanted to know what cord you're using to make the VideoMic GO II a Boom Mic. I wouldn't mine doing this myself but none of the cords that come with the rode are long enough and I don't know what to get to make it longer, if you could give me some incite on this that would be Great*

I have one of these mics. I’m extremely impressed for the price. It compares well with my Rode NTG and my expensive Audio Technica shot gun. It is a little hot so I can’t use it on my GH5s in most situations but it works a treat on my GH5 ii and my GH6 because I can set the gain to -18 db. I shoot live theatre, concerts and dance shows.

Ideally, the camera will be at the back of the classroom. However, I want a lens that will capture myself, the whiteboard with a nice crisp look, no blur or out of focus shots etc. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

Don't cover the "interference tube holes" on the side of the mic if you clamp it (3:18)! They are there to make the mic pickup pattern more "sharp" and "delete" the sound waves from off axis.

I am really curious as how these newer gen mics compare to some of the older higher-end ones. For example, I have the Rode Video Mic Pro+, which is a few years old now. Is the tech better, more advanced now that a less expensive mic like this one sounds the same or better than an older, higher-end mic.

@KevinNordstrom 2 жыл бұрын

Simple answer, no. Go with the pro+

@heroicvision 2 жыл бұрын

That Pro + will outlast the newer Rode mics as all mics with built in batteries have a shelf life vs the one you have with external batteries. Also no one ever really wants to really talk about the distortion issues with the Rode Go II and Videomic NTG when exposed to non controlled environments vs the microphone you currently own which has none of these issues.
