    Good quality, well rounded sound. Nice options with USB-C and miniplug connections. Rycote mount good at isolation, although large. Mic without Rycote mount fits nicely on Panasonic HCX 2000 Camcorder shotgun mount and with its compact size works great. Good proximity effect when using up close for voice recording.

    Rode made this MIC better than the last by improving on quality, size, and portability. The only issue I’ve encountered with this mic is the confusion of connecting it to a mobile phone. There’s no additional instructions included on how to do so. If your device accepts USB-C for microphone use, I would highly reccomend.

    haven’t had any problems. i’m a youtuber and always use to struggle with sound when i was in loud places but when i got this mic, i noticed a traumatic change. i would definitely recommend. it’s also not too big so that’s a plus. quick and easy!

    I love this microphone, much better than the original Rode Mic Go for sure, smaller and more practical since you can use it via USB as well. Great sound quality specially when used close to it.

    The mic is fantastic, with slight audio effects during editing you can really make the mic sound amazing. My only issue was that it doesnt come with a feathery wind shield, so i doubled up the foam wind shield with one i already had and it did well.

    A much better alternative to your stock recording device audio capability that adds a lot more clarity depth and overall great sound amplification from the direction the microphone is pointed also picks up audio from the right and left side very well from close range., wind reduction varying from real world applications

    Light weight and seemingly simple to setup. However, I'm having very loud crackling sound using the TRS cable. Had to buy the Rode lightning to USB-C cable from them for $25 to see if it works better that way. Unfortunately, the cable is on back order from Rode and Best Buy doesn't carry it. So, I'm stuck waiting unable to use the mic.
