Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the excellent sound quality and ease of use of the VideoMic On-Camera Shotgun Microphone. Many also appreciate its price point, though some find the microphone's size to be a bit large for certain applications. A few users noted the need for a 9V battery as a minor inconvenience.

    Bought for Canon Mark III and it was huge in comparison and dwarfed the camera. Also showed in camera shot. The micro size from same company better

    I have a canon T6 rebel and I didn’t know this at the time of purchasing but my camera does not support and external microphones nor does the canon T6i so beware of that! But still good pricing on a product like this.

    Decent sound but its too omni directional. The battery lid is terrible. I got it stuck first time I tried to open it. I did manage to to save the lid without breaking it out...so be warned.

    The mic has handled well. Obviously it works best in lower-noise settings but still able to pick-up the voices of people I interviewed. Would be better if gain switches were on exterior instead of in the battery compartment which is hard to reach.

    Picked up this Rhode mic to add to my small rig for doing quick video shots during more regular photography gigs. It is amazing for its size and cost! Absolutely love it and recommend it for anyone wanting to add a good mic to your rig without breaking the bank.

    This is not the most expensive RODE, but I needed a mic for a video record. Worked well. Should work with any camera with an audio jack.
