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.

    BUYER BEWARE: NO WINDSCREEN INCLUDED...

    The description reads that in includes a windscreen but my order did not have a windscreen or even mention one on the box. I brought this up with a best buy representative and they fixed the issue by offering credit. I am still disappointed in the false information on the website. I will have to use the credit to purchase a windscreen. I will also update this post in the future with a review of the microphone. Buyer beware: no windscreen included, just the windshield (black puff over mic) The mic just makes the fit well in my camera backpack with all my other equipment which is great. It would be nice if Rode would include a case or bag to transport the mic which I feel was not professional. Not even a cloth bag included which is disappointing...

    Average Prosumer Mic

    Purchased and took this microphone as a "just in case" mic with a high-end DSLR. I used this one time in the field with average results. I wouldn't recommend using this mic on a piece for broadcast because of camera lens noise when focusing or zooming as well as some hiss.
