This is the best low end mic I have used. Amazing sound quality with loads of features. The versatility of using it via the usb c with a computer has also been quite handy This is the best low end mic I have used. Amazing sound quality with loads of features.

This is one of the better value for quality shotgun mics on the market. With this mic, you can get great high quality sound as long as you understand some of the basics of mics and sound. This is more geared towards moderate to advanced users to really get the most out of it. But new users can learn the basics quickly too.

excellent malgré son prix élevé J’ai pu comparer ce Videomic NTG avec le NTG 4+ de la mme marque branch sur un zoon h6 et le constat est surprenant. Le videomic ntg est mieux dfini dans l’ensemble des frquences et beaucoup plus lev niveau sonore. La possibilit de l’utiliser directement en usb sur un tlphone,tablette,ordinateur etc… sans carte son est une trs bonne ide et le volume l’arrire du micro un clair de gnie. Super pratique compact et de trs bonne qualit, je suis bluff par mon achat. C’est du Rode !!!
Solid build quality, all metal construction, sound is clear and concise. Battery life is higher than expected - 50 hours at medium gain setting. Solid build quality, all metal construction, sound is clear and concise. Battery life is higher than expected – 50 hours at medium gain setting.
Small, well made and sensitive I have had “gun mics” before and needed something that used “plug in power” rather than button cells. Liked that this unit can work either with a camera or via a TRRS adaptor with a phone. The mic seems to be quite sensitive and with a decent polar pattern, not as narrow as the bigger, longer units but for what I wanted something a bit broader was ideal.
The only fault I could find with it is that the single, elastomeric mount allows the mic to wobble around a great deal when hand held with only the lead dampening down movement. It never felt like it would detach itself but I would expect that under some circumstances it could lead to some amplitude flutter with point sources as they move around the polar pattern. This is why I dropped one star.

Good microphone, but don't expect this alone to considerably up the sound quality of your videos After watching dozens of YouTube reviews of all kinds of different shotgun mics for DSLR cameras to educate me for my purchase, I eventually decided to grab this one as I thought it would be a high quality mic that would alone give me high sound quality right out of the box as soon as I attach it to my camera and hit record. I was somewhat nave to think that.
Not only this mic, but just about any mic you choose will not significantly or even somewhat improve your audio quality by just attaching it to your camera and hitting record. The room you’re recording in will need to be acoustically treated to maximize sound quality of your audio and you will likely need to edit the sound in post processing in order to get the best sounding audio from the mic.
It doesn’t really matter if you buy a $100 mic or a $2000 mic, the results will likely sound about the same if you’re recording your video in a room that is not acoustically treated, if your camera audio settings are not correctly adjusted, or if you haven’t done any post processing on your audio in Final Cut or Premiere Pro, or another video editing software like that.
This is a good mic, it definitely helped me with being able to increase the booming effects of my voice, increasing the gain of the sound of my voice as it was picked up, and increasing the volume of my voice, however the mic on it’s own likely won’t help your audio quality become cleaner, more refined, and reduce background noise without extra work on your part.
Was this mic worth it? I still think so. With some solid video and sound editing, and understanding what camera settings are needed to get the best audio possible, and understanding the mic’s audio settings and knowing which settings would be best for the sound of your own voice; you can get some great results with this.
Clean sound but not as good as the high end NTG's compared to my Rode ntg 3 , the NTG has more noise floor compared to the NTG3
But the NTG is more compact and shorter and doesn’t required phantom power , plus It works with phone
it has a very powerful option to do a safe channel at lower -20 db as a back up
STEREOMIC PRO - Amazing! I have no idea why Rode would gimp themselves by putting all their mics on one page. The vast majority of reviews are useless because they respond to a different product. So to be clear, this is for the STEREOMIC PRO.
While odd looking, this is an amazing stereo microphone. High quality, great pickup pattern…it just works. The globe layout gives a great impression of full stereo ambience even through two channels.
Want a mic for wild track, ambience or even a cheap option for recording concerts? Here’s your partner in crime.

Sound ist top und die Möglichkeiten damit super. Man muss es richtig einstellen und platzieren dann ist es mega. 75 Hz Filter immer an und los geht’s. Eine Videorezension folgt auf YouTube. Mir fehlt ein Kabel. Damit es ber dem Kopf hngen kann mittels Mikrofon Stnder bentigt man das richtige Kabel. Im iPhone gibt es kein 3,5 mm Klinke Anschluss daher am besten das Rode SC19 Kabel dazu bestellen. Das ist USB-C zu Lightning. Also besser als zustzlicher Adapter von 3,5 mm Klinke auf Lightning. Ja das Kabel kostet auch Geld aber wenn du schon ein Mikrofon fr 250 kaufst dann sollte das richtige Kabel schon drin sein. Nur meine Meinung. Kenne leider keine gnstige Alternative fr Audio.
Excelente El audio es muy complejo, el mejor micrfono no grabar adecuadamente en condiciones no favorables. Tu fuente est pegada a paredes? Muchas reflexiones. Ests en la calle? Mucho bleed o contaminacin. Entendiendo eso puedo decir que el micrfono mejora mucho los sonidos de mis filmaciones que antes haca con celular. Acostumbrado a grabar en estudio con otros micrfonos puedo decir que es muy competitivo; adems, como tipo escopeta, es ms recomendable al aire libre. Para microfoneo cercano es perfecto cuidando ciertos detalles, muy buena calidad.
Improves Gopro hero 10 Black audio a lot used with Media mod I purchased the rode videomicro to improve the audio of my gopro hero 10 black as they are not renowned for their audio quality.
I’m using it with the gopro media mod , it’s very easy and straightforward to use , it attaches to the top of the media mod by slotting into the cold shoe and twist the tightening wheel tight for a secure fit.
The audio is improved considerably, it picks up on the slightest of sounds and movements and my voice sounds a lot clearer and louder so it would be a good vlogging mic for YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and other platforms.
It also picks up on nature sounds , makes them sound a lot louder , birds singing , flowing water , crunching snow and leaves, it’s not ASMR quality but it certainly enhances nature sounds and is a huge improvement on the built in gopro mic and the media mod mic.
The rode mic does wobble a tad when moving the camera around but that doesn’t have any impact on the sound.
I’ve tried using the dead cat with the mic and the dead cat is sometimes visible on screen , especially if pointing the camera down , the deaf cat will come into view , I not sure if there are smaller versions of dead cats wind mufflers available for the rode videomicro but it would be great if there was.
The dead cat does stop wind noise really well though but I’m a tad disappointed that it comes into view a lot , I’ll have to find a way to stop it doing it during filming.
The rode videomicro is small and compact , lightweight and easy to install and set up , I runs on the power from the camera itself so it may drain the battery a little faster than usual when using it.
Once attached just go into your gopro settings and select mod settings, click on standard mic or standard mic + and you are up and running.
If you are looking to improve the audio quality of your gopro then this is a great budget option, you will see an instant improvement in sound quality, I purchased this for 44 , I think that’s good value for a decent, capable microphone that improves the gopro sound quality a lot.
Regalo apprezzato
Regalo molto gradito dal mio compagno regista. Su Amazon trovi sempre tutto!
