Best Microphone EVER buy for my DSLR
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Solid Sound for a Decent Price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed to record auditions for two dozen actors, and suddenly my producer had an emergency. Their input was vital for the process, so I quickly put together a plan to record the actors and show them to the producer later. One problem: The space we rented was HUGE and sound off the camera was bad. Enter the Røde. This thing wasn't too pricey but delivered a powerful quality. Even when my actors wandered the stage, belted out solos, or whispered emotional lines, I picked up what I needed to cut a really solid audition demo. It was a lifesaver. In small spaces, the sound quality is outstanding. In larger settings, you'll need to focus up on your subject. And careful when moving the camera.

Maybe not the way to go..
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't like making negative reviews, but I also don't want anyone to go through the trouble of making the same mistake as me.. I thought this would be the route to go because I see so many people using on-camera mics like this in a professional setting.. But I think now that that's more out of necessity than efficiency.. People use these when they're "out in the field" and whatnot, but if you're recording at home, or in a studio, or some kind of controlled environment. Then your best bet is to go with external audio.. Something like recording into a laptop, or mixer (depending on the mic you're using).. Or getting something like a Zoom recorder. These things will give you WAY better audio.. My audio with this on-camera mic was terrible, and I actually ending up returning it. Best Buy was amazing and gave me no problems at all. Full refund.

Very Good Microphone
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had this microphone for a couple years now. Use it to video family events and large gatherings. Recorded sound is very good. The unit is a little challenging to change the switches but not a deal breaker by any means.

Great DSLR Mic!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer The RØDE VideoMic will work great on the Canon T7. If you want an even more versatile option, check out the VIdeoMic Go II (which you can also with a phone or computer), or the VideoMic Pro+(which has additional features to shape your sound).
