Best Microphone EVER buy for my DSLR
After read a lot and see a few videos to find the right Mic for my DSLR i found this amazing mic to replace the built-in mic of my dslr. I realized that in order to eliminate ambience sound/noise I needed to get a shotgun mic so i buy Rode videomic and with my Canon 70D is the perfect combo for all my audio recording needs. You can also connect the video mic directly to your dslr camera but you will not be able to monitor the audio levels, unless of course your camera has a designated headphone output BUT with the Zoom H1, you can monitor the audio levels from the videomic. I also purchased the Sescom LN2MIC-ZOOMH4N 3.5mm Line to Mic cable to be able to route the ouput audio from the Zoom H1 to the camera. I noticed that by using this cable it reduces hiss noise. If you're looking into buying the Rode videomic, definitely go for the Rycote Lyre Mount. It is sturdy. No need to replace rubber bands unlike the previous Rode model. I have the videomic attached to a ALZO Multi-Mount and it does reduce noise and I can't barely hear the camera lens. Hope this feedback can help some of you out there. Of course there are other better shotgun mics out there, but under $200 the Rode videomic with the Rycote Mount is a great choice if your budget is tight,BEST choice you can ever make !

No difference notice
I really did not noticed a difference in the sound with this microphone. Or just maybe I wanted just to return it because I was broke lol. No really I did notice a difference in my volume having the microphone on my camera or off. Not to say it did not work because of the quality of my camera. However it sure did make my camera look more expensive and professional.

Great DSLR Mic!
Bought this for a trip to Alaska. It’s pretty massive to mount on top of a standard DSLR. Bought an after market mount built more for cinematography. But overall very happy with it. Light speeds ahead of the internal mic. Would buy again.
