Rode VideoMicro Compact On-Camera Microphone with Rycote Lyre Shock Mount, Auxiliary, Black

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!

The media could not be loaded. I recently purchased the Rode VideoMicro Compact On-Camera Microphone, and it has truly transformed my video recording experience. This little marvel deserves every bit of its 5-star rating.First off, let's talk about its appearance. 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.In conclusion, the Rode VideoMicro Compact On-Camera Microphone is a must-have for anyone serious about improving their video production quality. It's not just a microphone; it's a game-changer. I couldn't be happier with my purchase, and I highly recommend it to fellow videographers and content creators. This microphone is a solid 5-star performer all the way!

First testing impressions:I was pretty skeptical at first when it comes to adding a external mic and how it would affect my videos. I wanted to primarily use this on my LGv20 phone on a mobile rig to get some family shots and just some quality footage of my family and friends.Back up plan, since my LGv20 already has a set of hd audio mics and if it doesn't make much of a difference, I still have my Panasonic LX-7 or Canon RF40 i can use it on that i know doesn't have great audio.My original concerns:1. Will the directional mic on focus forward and completely block out everywhere else.2. Will it function on my Lgv20?3. How will it fair against the LGv20 3mics?The LGv20 already has a set of amazing mics built in to record HD quality audio - voice recording, video recording and so on.So once i got the VideoMicro i set it all up put my phone on the rig and shot a video with it then shot one without it. On the phone speaker, you really can't hear the difference. Then i plugged in a pair of headphones, then you are really hear the subtleties. Both audio came out really nice - but you can hear a clear distinction between the two when it comes to the clarity. The VideoMicro's was more clean and clear and the Built in Mics were clear but wasn't as clean when it fell to silence, you could hear some digital noise where as the VideoMicro you didn't hear the compensation.My original concerns:1. Will the directional mic on focus forward and completely block out everywhere else. (It picked up voices in multiple directions very clearly but focused on the front)2. Will it function on my Lgv20? (it was a plug and play)3. How will it fair against the LGv20 3mics? (it was close but the video micro felt more focused)The build was solid - doesn't feel like it'll fall apart at all. I'll go into further testing and video sample when i have a moment but i wanted to share my first impression with everyone on the VideoMicro and my LGv20-
