Customer Ratings & Reviews

Purchased this microphone to make vlogs and videos on my iPhone sound more professional then the on board microphone. The build quality of this microphone is very good and you can tell it's not a cheap knock off item. The microphone improved the quality of the sound on my videos and the included windscreen is good when shooting videos outdoors in windy locations. The only con I have to say about this microphone is that you must remove any phone cover on the phone. I have a very slim Apple cover on my phone and it restricted the microphone lightning connector from fully setting into the phone. I ordered a extension connector from Amazon and now I can use the mic without removing my phone case.

I am completely new to recording videos using my iPhone; this microphone is very easy to use, compact, and records with great quality.

I'd say the microphone was helpful in focusing the audio I wanted to pick up... however, it broke the moment I took it out of the camera.

This item is easy to use, smaller than anticipated, provides a good sound but I wish I could use it with my computer.

Simply pluged in and ipad began using the mic instead of of internal. More full range, especially bass, than the Apple, however overall sound quality improved only slightly.

This product does its basic function very well. I'm starting my own company and use my iPhone to shoot videos every week. I wanted to improve the quality of the audio so I purchased this mic. My biggest issues around this product is how I have to remove my protective case from my phone to use it. This is troubling because it is when I'm filming that my phone is at the greatest risk of being dropped. Also, if I connect the mic through the headphone jack connection on the back, the audio quality isn't as good as when its connected through the lighting connector. The wind protector does help but is useless if the wind hits it at just the right angle. Finally, my only other issue with the mic is connecting it to my computer through the headphone jack hasn't worked for me. This has limited what I can do with my videos, especially when live streaming. Now, I do have some good things to say about this mic. The audio quality is great when I run it through my video editing software. My software can easily remove any back ground noise and enhance the voices in the video. In fact, I use the audio from this mic more than my lapel mics.

Good sound quality. Only issue is the lightning connector and a solid connection if your iPhone has a case on it. FYI. Also, the rear headphone jack is mostly useless- because you listen so close to the subject that the ambient audio tends to mix in. But - the audio quality is solid!

This is a really good directional mic for the price. It blocks out the wind pretty well although you will get a little bit of wind noise in Highwind situations. It is easy to use and does a pretty good job and picks up your voice from a decent distance

Mic sounds great, however the only reason I can’t give 5 stars is because it didn’t fit while you have a case on your phone. Which is ridiculous because everyone uses cases. It’s also overpriced in my opinion like all apple designated products.

It was a nice sound that the microphone picked up but there is one thing I wish it included. I wish it had the red adapter chord to connect into a camera. Unfortunately it only came with the built in phone jack.

Based on my experience with this model it does have good sound. However, this one based on the Apple lightning connector requires that you rem.ove the protective case from your iPhone if you use one, in order for the supplied rubber collar to allow solid mounting of this microphone, You may also have to put the phone in airplane mode if used next to the phone. The newest iPhones have improved their audio greatly, so you may not notice a big difference.

I love the quality and how it sounds. I also like how small and how easy it is to use.

Really makes your mobile vlogging or video recording audio sound great. The added wind sock really come in handing for the outdoor shots! Does not work with all phone cases

This is a great mic for vlogging from the iPhone. Great audio. Problem I have is that I have to disconnect to hear playback, but I guess that is an iOS problem.

This is definitely a must purchase if you make videos. We ran so many tests before making videos to be published and it blew us away. The price is awesome. Can’t say enough good things about it. Clearly made very well and the sound quality is superior. High recommend.

This video mic by Rode is extremely easy to use. Just plug it into your iPhone and start recording. I was looking for something quick and easy to use while recording my videos that would also cut back on noise distortion...this mic is perfect to the task.

Bought this mic for recording videos outside. Definitely cuts off wind and enhances the voice. Pretty cheap price for a very effective product.

Yes it worked to block out surrounding noise, but it didn’t make what was supposed to be heard any louder. I needed a Microphone to amplify the voices I was recording not just a something to cancel surrounding noise. If volume isn’t a problem for you then it’s fine.

I couldn’t get rid of static. It would record fine for a bit, then sound like it was picking up interference. I read up on it and turned my phone to airplane mode, turned off my WiFi, and a few other things, but it didn’t work. Maybe android users will have better luck because the app has software downloads or something. It worked well when it worked.

This microphone has been so easy to use and has really helped with the audio quality in my videos. You just plug it in to your iPhone and go!
