    Rode VideoMicro

    Compact On-Camera Microphone

    The VideoMicro is a compact microphone designed to improve the audio quality of your videos. It incorporates a high-quality cardioid condenser microphone capsule for great quality audio recordings when used with a wide range of cameras. A directional microphone, the VideoMicro reduces distracting peripheral sounds and focusses on the audio in front of the camera. Its pickup is more forgiving than RØDE’s other on-camera microphones providing a more natural sound when recording indoors. Perfect for capturing incredible audio to accompany inspiring vision. The microphone body is made from aluminum, giving it a high level of RF rejection, and is finished in RØDE’s high-grade ceramic anti-glare black coating. Included with the VideoMicro is a camera shoe mount featuring a Rycote Lyre shock mount.

    Featuring a suspension structure composed of a hard-wearing thermoplastic, it is far more effective at minimising unwanted vibrations, handling and cable-borne noise than traditional elastic suspensions. Virtually indestructible, the Rycote Lyre will never sag, snap, wear out or require rethreading to maintain its effectiveness. Also included is the WS9 synthetic furry wind shield with foam inner cell, designed for use in outdoor scenarios where wind and environmental noise can inhibit recordings. Optionally available is the RØDE SC7, a TRS to TRRS cable that allows the VideoMicro to be used with smartphones, to capture crystal clear, directional sound for video and video applications such as Periscope.

    • Compact size and lightweight - only 80mm (3’) long and 42gm (1.5oz)
    • All-metal microphone body
    • No battery required (powered by camera plug-in power - min 3V)
    • Rycote Lyre shock mount included
    • Deluxe furry windshield included
    • Designed and manufactured in Australia
    • Two year extended warranty when you register your microphone

    Dissapointed (Read Edit Section)
    I bought this with probably high expectations, because it was Rode brand.However, for the price it is quite disappointing.Noise cancellation is crap. I shot one video with this mic and despite no fan, there was slight white noise.Audio quality-wise... The low-end gets reduced and the mid to high-end is amplified a bit. However, the difference in quality of the audio of this mic and my camera (Canon 200D Mark 4) wasn't notable.If you're a beginner and need something to work with your phone, this might be a good choice. But if you're an intermediate creator wanted to invest in a better sounding mic, I'd recommend to check other alternatives.(Edit after 2 months of use)I was searching YouTube for ways to make this mic work better and found a video where it showed that the camera's default settings is the reason behind the background noise of the mic. So I changed the camera's settings and the mic is working better now. So if you get this mic, know that you'll have to make setting changes to that the mic does not work with high sensitivity while recording.It's a pretty decent product.

    A light Weight Microphone with Good Sound Clarity perfect for Outdoor Usage

    This is my first product from this company and my experience has been good so far.

    (I have done a detailed sound comparison review on YouTube. You can search "Best Budget Microphones for YouTube by the Indian Dreamer".)

    There was lot of models available with them but I selected this because it is light weight and does not requires additional battery. It takes its power directly from the camera.

    As per my observations, the microphone is good for outdoor usage. Along, the wind shield flurry cover, the wind noises were suppressed to a great extent.

    But, when I tried using it indoor, I noticed some hissing sound. Which I had to remove later in the editing.

    The rycote shock mount works perfectly in reducing noises due to vibrations.

    It fits very nicely on the camera's horse shoe mount and does not increases the overall weight.

    Rode has always been the go to in the market for good audio gear. This one is no exception. It does a pretty good job with sound on my canon. Its really good value for the price. It comes with a wind sock in the package so that's a blessing. The microphone itself feels good in the hand and is pretty good quality. So is the wind sock/protector that comes with it. I would say that about the mount though. The mount that attaches the camera to the mic feels very flimsy and cheap. It handles the mic and the shocks from that camera very well, but still gives you a mini heart attack now and then. You have to be very gentle with it. There is a noticeable hiss from the mic when you listen to the raw clip but it's easily correctable in post production. Also, you might want to change your camera audio settings from auto to manual when you put this on. Works better that way. It is a pretty good product from rode and its decently priced. You wouldn't be too disappointed if you picked this up.
    Cheers,

    I ordered on 26 July 2016 and am still using it. I used it for six years, about five days a week. U have had problems at all. The mic is directional and its performance has been EXCELLENT. I used it with smartphones and cameras. The shock mount also served me well and broke today (understandable).

    This is a must have device if you are a youtuber or a content creator... This reduces the over-all disturbances in the sound and records your voice that too very crispy and clear. I've been using this with note 5 pro but unfortunately it doesn't work on the default camera app.. I'm using "open camera" app available on play store for my videos... One important thing if you are planning to use this with phone is that default cable that comes with this mic doesn't usually work with phone because it has a TRS adaptor and phones support TRRS adaptor... You can purchase a SC7 TRS to TRRS adaptor so that it can support perfectly.. if you like this review then please do like it and check out the audio difference on my YouTube channel "rider avi".. do comment if you have any questions for me

    I bought this with probably high expectations, because it was Rode brand.

    However, for the price it is quite disappointing.

    Noise cancellation is crap. I shot one video with this mic and despite no fan, there was slight white noise.

    Audio quality-wise... The low-end gets reduced and the mid to high-end is amplified a bit. However, the difference in quality of the audio of this mic and my camera (Canon 200D Mark 4) wasn't notable.

    If you're a beginner and need something to work with your phone, this might be a good choice. But if you're an intermediate creator wanted to invest in a better sounding mic, I'd recommend to check other alternatives.

    (Edit after 2 months of use)

    I was searching YouTube for ways to make this mic work better and found a video where it showed that the camera's default settings is the reason behind the background noise of the mic. So I changed the camera's settings and the mic is working better now. So if you get this mic, know that you'll have to make setting changes to that the mic does not work with high sensitivity while recording.

    It's a pretty decent product.

    I took the trouble of making this review to tell how satisfied i am with this Rode Video Microphone.
    This is even better than Snowball i purchased here at amazon which let's out a lot of pre-amp sound. Although people with good outspoken voice could capture there voice by Snowball Microphone, but its more expensive that this Rode Video Microphone.
    Some good point:
    1)Compact and great in design.
    2)Captures good sound that is enough to make youtube videos.
    3)Provides Warranty.
    4)Very satisfying experience.
    Badpoint:
    1)The frame that holds the microphone is made of plastic, it doesn't make the mic stand straight towards ur mouth. It kind a loops down.
    Output:
    I will provide a link to a youtube video(after few days) and decide for yourself.

    I am satisfied and would encourage other people to get it as well. But u can use it on a DSLR camera like CANON or NIKON or SONY probably and modern day DSLR camera that has an outlet to accept this mic.
    Which every modern day camera has, this is simply great, i am very satisfied with it.
    Although i am looking for more professional mic and audio capturing devices.

    I bought this for my camera for better audio. I like to shoot Vlogs with my camera but the audio is not always the best. When you need to talk to the camera sometimes you need a directional microphone to make you sound clearer. Also not too big to weight you down.

    Använder den mest på min Canon 77D och ljudkvaliteten är mycket bra. Ska man upp i kvalitet kostar det.
