    Good Shotgun Style Mic

    The Rode VideoMic Go II is a good budget mic for video and can be used for podcasting. I like how the mic does not use batteries to be powered. I don’t need to charge it or keep batteries on hand. Great on the go mic for your camera. It’s compact and easily attaches to your cold shoe. It also comes with a windscreen. My issue is that it’s not a great shotgun mic because once you get more than 12 inches away, the volume decreases dramatically. It also doesn’t have any setting controls on the mic itself so any setting have to be done via camera or the rode central app if using phone or computer. I also wish it came with a deadcat when I use it outdoors. Overall, it’s an upgrade if you don’t have a mic for your camera and most adjustments can be made in post if desired.

    Solid microphone for a great price

    I fell in love with this microphone it sounds great it is super easy to use and it didn’t break the bank. I’ve been using this microphone for over a month now and it hasn’t disappointed me yet. The sound quality is a leg up from using the built in camera microphone. That elevated my videos immediately. Connecting through a headphone jack just a quick plug and play situation.

    crystal clear audio

    An essential all-rounder for any rig, the Rode VideoMic GO II is an ultra-lightweight (just 89 grams) shotgun mic that delivers without weighing you down. It's completely battery-free and offers serious versatility: run it straight into a camera via the 3.5mm TRS jack, or plug it into a phone or laptop via USB-C. Bonus: when using the USB-C connection, that 3.5mm jack doubles as a headphone output for zero-latency monitoring.
