The Rode Microphones VideoMic with Rycote Lyre Suspension System is a shotgun microphone that can easily be mounted on a DSLR camera. It features a Rycote suspension system that attaches to the camera's shoe. The VideoMic is lightweight and when mounting on a camera it does not appear in the frame. The VideoMic can also mount to Rode's boompoles for elevated audio capture. Its super-cardioid polar pattern attenuates sounds from the sides. The result is a signal that sounds closer to the camera, even when shooting in noisy environments or at moderate distances.The included Rycote Lyre is a non-elasticized suspension structure composed of a hard-wearing thermoplastic. It is more effective at acoustically decoupling microphones from unwanted vibrations, handling and cable-borne noise than elasticized suspensions. The lyre remains effective at a wide range of temperatures and is virtually indestructible. It will never wear out, sag, snap or require any rethreading to maintain its effectiveness.An attached, coiled cable terminates to a 1/8" (3.5mm) mini output connection. The VideoMic features a condenser element that utilizes standard 9 Volt batteries (sold separately). The microphone will run for approximately 100 hours on a single battery.

This mic kit is a must have in a socially distanced world. I shoot content with my phone for work all the time. I used to use a lapel mic that plugged into my phone, but that is not an option right now.I tried a few of the small directional mics made for phones, but honestly, none of them provided any noticeable difference than simply using my phone's mic for interviews. Our video editor says that for a mic to work well, it needs a separate source of power. He sent me a link to this Rode kit, and I've been very happy with the results.

This is the best mic I've used thus far. Does a good job picking up sound when attached to the top of my camera. I have yet to use the boom pole but it looks great. Though it's still in the box. TBH I didn't realize I was purchasing a boom pole and dead cat or I wouldn't have got the 3rd dead cat. Still glad I got it for future use purposes. Never know when you'll need one I guess.

I have been using this microphone for video work and even though it doesn't have level boosting, it's been pretty well. Only issue is when recording at loud environments, it's difficult to get -10 and -20 db adjustments since it's under battery door and practically impossible to change with fingers. So, if you're going to record concerts or similar type of events, this may not be the right microphone for you. Otherwise, it's been good for my use case both when directly connected to camera (Sony A7III) or my Zoom H1n recorder.

As my videography is rapidly expanding into new areas, my needs have grown and this was the perfect addition to my gear. It sits nicely on the hot show of my Canon and provides a superior audio feed to the built in mic.Main uses for me are to narrow the field of audio collected as it reduces ambient noise and focuses more on audio in the direction the camera is pointed. It's great for on the go hand-held shooting.If you need to step up your game and add in a more professional audio capture device for on the go shooting, this is definitely a great mic for the value. DJ City also had it on my doorstep in days so I was able to get it up and running without delays. I will definitely consider them for future purchases as they are competitively priced, offer quality ...

I found this microphone ineffective from anything greater than 2 feet away.I tried it on both the Fujifilm X-t30 and X-t200 and had the same experience. The Pre-amp can be boosted on the microphone ( by removing the battery and using a magnifying glass and a pin - the switches are that small ) . With the pr-amp set on high and the Fujifilm cameras set to normal , it doesn't improve the sound you can get from the cameras in built microphones from greater than about 2 - 21/2 feet.If you boost the preamps on the cameras the effective range increases to about 3 feet max , but you get a nasty buzzing sound in your recordings.
I rented the VideoMic to record my nephew's outdoor wedding. The site was pretty, overlooking a valley, but with a major highway parallel and about 250 feet away. Due to restrictions I set up behind the guest seating with a Nikon D7100 and the Rode. Traffic noise picked up by the mike was minimal and I was able to get clear audio from about 30 feet away with the low pass filter engaged. I was so impressed by the VideoMic performance that I bought my own with the Custom Windbuster Kit. In a wind, there is still some wind noise, but it is minimal compared to the in-camera microphone where the wind just howls. I bought the 10' extension cable so I can use the microphone off-camera with a helper or mike stand. It is a little big for on-camera use, but I've had no ...

Like others, I wish all the controls were outside the battery compartment, but it isn't really a problem as long as you plan ahead and set them accordingly.
Not had much chance to use the microphone yet but it seems to work OK on my Canon R5.The only niggle is that when it is mounted on the hot-shoe you are unable to use the EVF as your forehead catches on it. I have overcome this by making an extension bracket to move the microphone further forward (as in the picture) and all is now OK, that is the only reason for marking it down under 'Ease of use'.
The aesthetic and functional quality of the microphone is excellent! Basically new in my opinion. The shipping was fast and it was well packaged. When I opened the package, I put in a 9v battery, hooked it into my Tascam Dr-60 mkii and turned it on. It worked perfectly and to be honest, the sound quality is better than I expected. It records in stereo and picked up a dynamic range of sounds very clearly and cleanly. I am extremely satisfied with this purchase and will be using this mic as my go to mic for most quick applications. I have an AKG C1000 and an AKG Perception 420, and it sounds as clean or better than those 2 condenser microphones. High quality prosumer microphone that yields high clarity audio in most situations. Great for quick, mobile, small camera ... MoreThe aesthetic and functional quality of the microphone is excellent! Basically new in my opinion. The shipping was fast and it was well packaged.

Assignment: shoot a documentary series for Internet presentation consisting primarily of interiors and talking heads. For this we used the following lighting and photographic equipment purchased from B&H. Our Interfit Fluorescent Lighting set-up consisting of 3 x Super 5's and a Prolite 9 instrument. For photography we chose 2 VIXIA HF R400HD cameras, together with 2 PNY 32 GB class 10 High Performance memories, 2 SONY 32 GB class 10 memories, 2 Duracell 9 V batteries for our mic and a Rode VideoMic. Lighting: the Interface Fluorescent Lighting set up worked great. All of the instruments were lightweight, easy to set up and break down and provided excellent lighting with the diffusers in place.

Lighting: the Interface Fluorescent Lighting set up worked great. All of the instruments were lightweight, easy to set up and break down and provided excellent lighting with the diffusers in place. All of our energy consumption was handled easily by two circuits (it could have been one) and we would highly recommend this system for productions that want quality lighting on a budget. Microphone: the Rode VideoMic easily attached the hand bracket that was attached to the camera and the mic consistently provided professional quality sound for our 12 foot throws. Memory: the PNY 32 GB class 10 High Performance memories worked flawlessly in recording and reading our video project. He depended on them and making The SONY 32 GB class 10 memories worked flawlessly in recording and reading our video project. We depended on them and they came through. Batteries: one Duracell 9 V battery provided all the power necessary for the Rode VideoMic. It is rated at 100 hours. We can rely on it with confidence. Cameras: the VIXIA HF R400HD best met our criteria for the shoot. We locked down one camera and roamed with the other during panel discussions. Camera Pros: Excellent picture quality at 35 Mbps, 60 P. Excellent Canon optics. Excellent zoom ratio 35mm equivalent of 32.5 mm x 1,723 mm (but the HD format is as wide as a 35mm 4 x 3 format at 20 mm). Excellent zoom snap manual zoom plus three motor zoom speeds worked fine. Microphone input for professional sound we used the Rode VideoMic. Earphone output we used ear buds. Memory Two hour recording time with the 32 GB SBHC memory cards was essential for the success of this project. Camera Cons: Color temperature the cameras seem to be warm, but they cut well together. No hot shoe we used our own hand bracket for the Rode VideoMic. No threads on lens for additional lens or filter mounts but, we didn't need anything else. No manual control of exposure however, we were able to keep the lighting set-up consistent with the use of a handheld meter. Camera is slow we rated the1/4.85 CMOS at ISO 160, but easily maintained the recommended 100 Lux minimum illumination through the numerous lighting controls and metering. We've been working with B&H for over 20 years in still photography and they have always answered all of our technical questions. Their expertise has been indispensable during this media transition. B&H has always helped us get the quality results we want for the price we want to pay.
As a beginning DSLR filmmaker myself, I knew I must have the Rode Videomic. After extensive research, and confirming that it was the best and simplest microphone for my budget and knowledge, I purchased one. Upon delivery I was excited to find everything nicely packaged and clean, and slightly larger than I expected. However, it does not interfere with the image on the camera. I attached it to the hotshoe adapter I had to put on my camera (as my camera does not have a standard hotshoe) and was extremely glad, suprised and relieved to see how easy it was to attach and simply switch on. The sound quality is superb for its price, and picks up the subject clearly with little extraneous noises caused by one's surroundings. The free deadcat provided by BH and manufactured ...

The sound quality is superb for its price, and picks up the subject clearly with little extraneous noises caused by one's surroundings. The free deadcat provided by BH and manufactured by Rode is of course, quite a lovely and quality surprise as well. One thing that perturbed me slightly though is the location of the pad-sound-thingy-mc'clicky. To change the db from 0 db to the other settings of -10db or -20db, you must remove the battery and use a tiny, pointy object to flick a little switch. I think that could have been thought out a little better. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase, and satisfied with its professional sound from a basic microphone that any beginner or advanced videographer can use.
