    We shoot a lot of video- most of which is on the run and outside. This is a great mic that is convenient when you work with DSLR cams. Sound is good- even in crowds.

    Sound is good but my older shotgun mic had a switch to zoom the sound with the camera or have a fixed long distance sound arc.

    Used this for an event. I could not believe how sensitive this microphone is. I was able to capture even the faintest sound. I used this on my Canon t6I. Great price, great product, great buy!

    Great product for the price but you need a different housing for it to actually work. Other than that, the little side work to get it to work - no plug and play, it's great!

    This mic is excellent for filming on the digital camera. Sound quality improves greatly over the build in mic. Great upgrade for anyone looking to get into videography at the beginner level.

    Just needed a mic for some non-professional work but was pleasantly surprised by the quality of sound for the price.

    This Rode Mic has vastly improved the quality of audio on my camera (Canon RP). Rode doesn’t mess around with their products.

    Uses this to record on my Canon 80d. Make sure you push the cord in all the way! Does the job better than native mic.

    I still found it capturing the sound that was near the camera although it can capture what’s ahead. It looks I lost a piece that attached the red thing to the camera slide-in thing and from there on it was over. The mic kept falling off. As for quality I don’t like that just from walking around a piece so important could fall like this. Lesson learned.

    This microphone works great, recently bought a dead-cat for it. This because it picks up everything, including the wind! Wouldn't buy a different brand, this is what you need!

    I was a little skeptical, I'm a new blogger and reviews and people seemed to be pushing other brands, the price point here is what sold me but what impressed me was the quality!
