    5.0 out of 5 stars Best MIC for a Small Budget!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2016
    Okay, first off, I didn't buy this MIC from Amazon, but from Best Buy.

    This MIC is a really good MIC in recording high quality, crisp sound, but sometimes when there is no dialogue, and there is an action that doesn't have much sound, like a door opening and closing, there can be quite a loud hiss in the background. This MIC is the best one for people in a budget like me and is very professional too! Here are 2 ways to prevent the hiss problem:

    1.) Via CAMERA SETTINGS: Now I know that the GO mic doesn't have a -20db, but you can still lower the hiss through the camera audio recording settings! (My camera is a Canon, so setting titles may vary for different cameras, but I'm pretty sure Nikon has many of those same titles/names.)

    Step 1: Go to your camera's settings (via camera), and go to the tab that has the audio recordings.
    Step 2: Click on "Sound Recording" and put on "Manual" instead of "Auto".
    Step 3: Go down how much you need to, to reach "Rec. Level". Click on that.
    Step 4: Put the level around 5 or 6; go to the far end (left) of the level and click 5 or 6 times for it to go to the right. (contact me if you need more detail).
    This will lower the hiss sound, so the audio will be a clearer when you have dialogue or recording voiceover.

    2.) Via EDITING SOFTWARE: (I use Final Cut Pro X and iMovie, so I'm sure any other editing software would have the audio effect if these two have it.)

    Step 1: Open your editing software.
    Step 2: Go to the "Effects" tab.
    Step 3: Click on the subcategory (if you have one): "Audio Effects"
    Step 4: Scroll down (if you have to) and find the tab "Levels"
    Step 5: Then, scroll down (if you have to again) and find the "Gain" effect.
    Step 5: Add that effect to your clip/audio and adjust the setting controls to "-20db"
    Now you have better sounding audio without having to buy the Rode MIC with the Gain controls on the MIC itself.

    ***I have attached pictures (for the Editing Software portion) to help along with the steps. If you still need help, don't hesitate to contact me!***

    Hope this helps you decide what MIC to buy, and this one seems to be perfect if you are a freelance filmmaker, YouTube creator, or anyone with a tight budget :)

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good impression
    Reviewed in Sweden on May 11, 2023
    Using this separate micro is a huge improvement in sound quality. RØDE VideoMic makes a good impression. However, the disadvantage is that it stands out at the back of the camera making it difficult to use the viewfinder (around 6 cm from the viewfinder in my case). Working with the LCD display alone is tricky and problematic in e.g. bright sunlight.
