Product Description
VideoMic Me Directional Microphone for Smartphones. The VideoMicro is a compact microphone designed to improve the audio quality of your videos. There is a bit of conventional wisdom that goes something like, "Half of good video is good audio." And it’s true. Say you’re recording a video of a live performance. Who cares if the band looks like they’re cooking if it doesn’t sound great; The VideoMicro incorporates a high-quality cardioid condenser microphone capsule for great quality audio recordings when used with a wide range of cameras. The VideoMicro reduces distracting peripheral sounds and focuses on the audio in front of the camera. Its pickup is more forgiving than other on-camera microphones, providing a more natural sound when recording indoors. The microphone body is made from aluminum, giving it a high level of RF rejection, and is finished in RODE's high-grade ceramic anti-glare black coating. Included with the VideoMicro is a camera shoe mount featuring a Rycote Lyre shockmount. Featuring a suspension structure composed of a rugged thermoplastic, it is far more effective at minimizing unwanted vibrations, handling and cable-borne noise than traditional elastic suspensions. The Rycote Lyre will never sag, snap, wear out or require rethreading to maintain its effectiveness. Also included is the WS9 synthetic furry wind screen with foam inner cell, designed for use in outdoor scenarios where wind and environmental noise can inhibit recordings. SPECSAcoustic Principle: Pressure GradientActive Electronics: JFET impedance converterCapsule: 0.50" Polar Pattern: Cardioid Address Type: EndFrequency Range: 100Hz - 20kHzMaximum SPL: 140dB SPL (at 1kHz, 1% THD into 1KOhm load) Sensitivity: -33.0dB re 1 Volt/Pascal (22.00mV at 94 dB SPL) +/- 2 dB at 1kHz Equivalent Noise Level (A-weighted): 20dB-A Weight: 42g Dimensions: 21mm x 21mm x 80mm. The mount will flex to accommodate the thickness of your device when attached, do not bend or force open

UPDATE: I purchased this mic 3 years ago. It did very little in terms of performance. Here i am updating this review 3 years later. This mic sat around for 3 years as a paper weight since I did not use it because of its poor performance.
A friend was doing a wedding shoot and asked to borrow several mics. This was one of them for a cellphone used to record video to straight post to social media. She told me the sound was great. I said what? I checked out the videos and they had good sound.
This made me test this mic on my phones and tablets all over again. WTH. The audio was improved. You can hear a noticeable difference. After further tests it seems either several FW updates later on my devices cleared whatever issue there was or tossing it around all these years fixed something. 🤔 I would have returned it but threw the box away. Not sure what happened but the audio is much better and recording volume is actually boosted too. 😲 It sounds good.

Yes, the sound quality is an improvement over the standard cell phone mic. Unfortunately these benefits are completely wiped away by a loud and abrasive whining and clicking that interrupts the audio. Activating airplane mode addresses this audio feedback issue, but that makes this mobile phone attachment useless for live broadcasting anywhere a strong wi-fi signal is not available.
There also doesn't appear to be a way to get the headphone jack to pass through audio for monitoring purposes using the standard iPhone photo/video app. So if you forget to switch to airplane mode when recording, there is no way to tell if your audio is ruined until you review it after the shot is over.
Rode has a great reputation but this product has a number of critical flaws. Overall very disappointed.

Lo dovrò ancora provare in ambienti live e vedere come si comporta. Per ora l'editing è minimo e il rumore di fondo è trascurabile o facile da togliere con un gate al minimo.
Il gatto invece fa la muta e perde pelo dappertutto, va maneggiato con cura. A parte questo per ora nessun difetto.
