unfortunate purchase

The item I happened to purchase did not work.There may always be a bad luck to buy a defective one.It did scarcely catch any sound for my canon HV30.I tried it with my old JVC DV-3000 but it did not fit into the shoe.The design looks awkward and big although it has had a good reputation but at...

Good solution at the right price

Like all of the RODE products that I already own and use in my home recording studio, the VideoMic is a great value for the money.The directional sound is a dramatic improvement over the native audio picked up by the camera's internal microphone(s). It's not overly colored, but is nicely...

Exceptional sound.

Bottom line: This microphone is worth every cent of its cost. It's exceptional sound moved me enough to write a review, something that I do rather infrequently. This is a well-made, high quality audio microphone coming from the rich tradition of Rode studio microphones. I use this mic on my Canon...

The Best Video Mic

I bought this mic and a Canon Vixia HF100 for my vacation to Maui and it was a fantastic pairing. The mic was very light, durable and so easy to use, even Mom could use it: the mic only has an ON/OFF switch. Apparently you can switch to 0db, -10db or -20db from inside the battery compartment. I...

Fantastic item, great for a film maker on a budget.

After receiving this mic I put it into action. It is very sturdy and the shock stabilization system works very well. The sound quality is fantastic with a bit of tweaking. The only thing to consider, is picking up a mini plug extension cable for using this mic on a boom pole.

Great microphone for the non-professional

Hi all!I recently discovered Rode products, and this Australian company seems to make quality gear. I ran my VideoMic through my Canon HG10 and it worked quite well. If you are non-professional looking for a high-quality external microphone for your video camera, then look no further. You won't...

Can't beat the quality for price relationship

I needed a shot gun microphone to fit the hot shoe of the Canon HG10. I am shooting a documentary and needed to interview folks in loud surroundings. This was the most valuable and important upgrade to my camera. The sound difference is unprecedented for the price. For $149 the mic comes with...

Excellent mic

I normally use XLR shotgun (e.g. Audio-Technica AT-835) and mini-shotgun mics with professional video equipment. However, for consumer type camcorders without XLR inputs, your choices are to add a Beachtek XLR interface box (pricey) - or get a nice mini-shotgun mic with mini-phone plug connection...
