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.

    The Rode microphone keeps the wind noise out of the recording. It is light weight and the mount makes no noise to get recorded.
