## Description

Rode Videomicro compact on-camera microphone with Rycote lyre shock mount.

Review: A nice upgrade! - Okay, fellow videography aficionados and content magicians, gather 'round! 🎥 Let me tell y’all about a solid upgrade I made recently - from the original Rode VideoMicro to the Rode VideoMicro II Camera-mount Compact Shotgun Microphone. First off, for context, I'm your quintessential hobbyist videographer, with my trusty Panasonic Lumix S5II X always within arm's reach. And man, has this new Rode VideoMicro II been a revelation! Straight out the gate, the value. 💸 The audio clarity has taken a notch up from the original - and that’s saying something because the OG VideoMicro was already pretty darn good. But for someone like me, the II just feels like it's been tuned to perfection. It's got this delightful crispness to the audio that makes your content sound that much more professional. Now, don't get me wrong. The big wide world of microphones is vast, with some mics that have price tags as impressive as their specs. But for the run and gun shooters among us, who prioritize efficient, high-quality, no-fuss gear? This mic is the sweet spot. It's plug, play, and phenomenal results every time. I have to give a nod to its compact size, too. It's like the pocket-sized superhero of camera mics, delivering way more than you'd expect from its petite frame. In conclusion? If you’re thinking of leveling up from the original Rode VideoMicro, or even just stepping into the videography game, the Rode VideoMicro II should be high on your list. It’s a small investment for a sizable leap in audio quality. And let's face it, in this game, good audio can make or break your content.
Review: A Game-Changer for My Video Production! - I recently purchased the Rode VideoMicro Compact On-Camera Microphone, and it has truly transformed my video recording experience.

The VideoMicro looks sleek and professional when mounted on my camera, adding a touch of elegance to my setup. It's compact and doesn't obstruct the camera's view, which is a huge plus. The real magic happens when you hit the record button. The sound quality is simply outstanding. I can now capture crystal-clear audio without any unwanted background noise. Whether I'm shooting indoors or outdoors, the Rode VideoMicro consistently delivers excellent sound quality. One of my favorite features is its ease of use. You simply plug it into your camera's microphone input, and you're good to go. No complicated setup or additional batteries required. It's a true plug-and-play device. Furthermore, its affordability is unbeatable for the quality it offers. Rode has managed to strike the perfect balance between price and performance with the VideoMicro.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with everything seen in picture ? especially the audio cord ?**
A: The included cord Male TRS-Male TRS is basically for a DSLR.
I'm using an iPhone 7 Plus on a boom stand and I needed to by a 15' Male TRS-Male TRS cable with a Female TRS-Male TRRS adapter. Only took me 2 days to figure that out.
TRRS (Tip Ring Ring Sleeve) was the key, then connected that to an Apple dongle (Female 3.5mm to Lightning). Your welcome :)

**Q: Does this come with any kind of wind cover for the mic?**
A: Yes

**Q: compatible to fujifilm x**
A: The X-T20, X-T30, X-E3 and X100F have combined 2.5 mm microphone/remote control inputs, you need an adapter cord. The X-T2 and X-T3 have a 3.5 mm microphone input and a separate 2.5 mm remote control input, no adapter needed.

**Q: Will this work on my iphone 7 plus mounted on a osmo mobile 2?**
A: You will need extra cable to isolate the mic input. Like this one. https://amzn.to/2MNKplg 
Or https://amzn.to/2MSIQTe
And a bracket or mount for the mic separately from the phone because the mic weight would be too much for the gimbal of the Osmo. And I did a small video how to help the osmo to deal with an Plus size phone. https://youtu.be/pJ8eDhXfmMI

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BLOCKS SOUND from the Back REALLY WELL
*by A***R on April 25, 2023*

This mic blocks sound from the back REALLY WELL. For example, it's great if you are trying to record music being played live on a stage, and you don't want all the crowd noise behind you to be recorded. On the other hand, if you are using it to vlog, you have to talk louder than normal if you're behind the mic, otherwise your voice will come in soft. In comparison, the much more expensive Rode Video Mic Pro and Pro+ mics are good at picking up sound from the front and the rear, while rejecting sound only from the side. But they pick up sound well from the rear which make them great for vlogging, if you don't mind the larger size and having to use a battery. In any case, this Rode VideoMicro mic is literally one of the best condenser mics you can buy at any price when it comes to blocking sound from the rear. I've used dozens of condenser mics all the way up to $1,000 mics and very few are as good at blocking sound from the rear. (Dynamic mics are better at blocking sound from the rear, but they are a completely different kind of mic.) As far as condenser mics go that can be used for vlogging, the only vlogging mic as good as this one at blocking sound from the rear is the much more expensive Sennheiser MKE 440. Long story short, this Rode VideoMicro is a bargain. Small, cheap, sounds pretty good, comes with a shock mount and a windscreen, and no battery needed. It's a really good deal!
