Great mic for the price. Game chager if you only use a built in mic.

Amazing microphone that works well -- offers amazing distance and close-in reception. Ideal for house-of-worship (for which I purchased it). Typical RØDE high build quality. Worth every penny.

Great shoe mount mic. It’s really good for small productions by yourself, but I’ve noticed a weird high pitched electronic noise on my videos sometimes when using it. It’s still better than the built in one, so it’s well worth it imo

Avoid at all costs -- massive interference

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Microphone has no shielding and picks up wifi and bluetooth interference from nearby devices -- so unless you're going to the jungles, miles away from anything electrical, your audio will sound terrible. Rode has known about this problem for years yet continues to sell this mic without offering a fix....and it can be mostly fixed. You only need to tape aluminum foil to the back of the mic to shield it. Why would you pay this much for a mic and then have to wrap it in foil to get it to work? Rode, this is bad.... Why do you keep selling this mic for years despite knowing this limitation?

Great value for the price. It's compact enough for my over stuffed camera bag, but delivers big mic sound.

I purchased this microphone to upgrade the sound quality from my DSLR footage without having to sync audio in post production for faster video creating. It works for that purpose wonderfully! If you're using it to film outdoors, INVEST IN A DEAD CAT or similar wind buffering cover. The bulk of the microphone causes a lot of unwanted wind noise.

Because the cam was a package deal with my Canon EOS M50, I thought that the sound quality would be so so. But, I was pleasantly surprised! I was recently videoing at the coast and was able to hear my subjects voice over the crashing waves. Very directional audio quality at a rock bottom price!
