This is an excellent micro . I wasn’t sure about it at first but after having it for a year. This is the best

Great product! The microphone was compact sounded good, and very easy to use.

Best shotgun microphone for my iPhone with a bower light for ghost hunting

I love this mic, it is great for the price, it’s the budget version of their on cam NTG shotgun mic but more affordable. It’s light weight and captures sound amazingly. Perfect for beginner videographers.

I’m no expert, but this mic gets it done. The RØDE VideoMic GO II works great on my FX3 and is a huge upgrade over any internal mic. It picks up clean, clear audio, stays light on the camera, and never feels like a burden to carry around. For something this small, the sound quality is way better than I expected.

great little microphone that doesn't require a battery. It picks up a lot of sound so be sure to adjust your audio settings correctly and learn how to edit audio. overall, this is much better than the cameras built in microphone and worth the price for starting out. When you learn more about audio then you will find more expensive microphones do have value, but for learning purposes and general use nonprofessional, this is a great mic.

I used this directly connected to my Lumix G85 and the audio comes out perfect. It's very compact and fits in my camera bag wth everything in it.

This mic is so simple to use both on professional cameras and personal phones which has helped me tremendously with my work! Would definitely recommend it.

This is a solid microphone for its price point, delivering impressive performance. I purchased it in May 2025 and have primarily used it for vocal recording, where it performs very well. It also works effectively for capturing foley when connected to a laptop, as well as for ambient sound recording. One of its key advantages is its passive design, meaning it does not require phantom power—it’s truly plug-and-play. On the downside, the microphone has fixed gain, so level adjustments must be made through the camera or recording device. Additionally, vocal clarity begins to noticeably degrade beyond approximately 5 feet.

Crisp sound & very easy to use on my Sony zv10 plug and play type of deal

No complaints! Good size, good sound! Works perfectly!

Decent mic, good purchase for the price, using it on phone or camera is simple

I have been using this microphone to record audio on soccer games and birding in my backyard. The USB input into my phone and later synching in post has given me great audio for $100.

Love this guy, nice little mic, good sound catcher, plug n play

Top tier quality and great for content creators. This microphone makes it sound as if I am in a silent environment, even when it is noisy.

Amazing Mic For the price. Has great quality and doesn’t sound crunchy.

Very good quality mic and very budget friendly for someone starting content

[Employee of bestbuy] I use this over usb at my pc and it sounds great. Love the versatility of it. Also bought it for my camera. Nice little affordable microphone.

This microphone is great! Bought it from a review I’ve seen online and I haven’t had any issues with it. Could be smart to get a better wind shield/dead cat thing but other than that it’s awesome!

love buying rode products for my videoing needs. i had the previous generation until it gave out. this one is great just more compact
