the sound it produces once i connect it to my camera is amazing! it has minimum to no static noise. the only adjustment i had to do was lower down the volume on my camera once i put it on +20 dB. Def. a big upgrade for sounds on my videos!

This mic was nice, the ONLY reason I returned it was because I thought that I would get tired of buying batteries for it. I exchanged it for the plus, it has a rechargeable battery. But this is nice too!

Great accessory for vlog setup. I use this with Canon 70D and Joey tripod. However, the microphone does not come with batteries or instructions on how to operate. Would not recommend if it wasn’t on sale.

This rode mic captured exactly the sound we needed for an outdoor shoot. There were lawnmowers audible and airplanes overhead, but the mic only picked up the audio we needed in our intimate scenes.
What a great find!

its done a great job so far! A bit of background noise has been in my recordings but it could be the large rooms I have filmed in and it cleans up pretty good in adobe audition. Still getting used to the mic too!

I looked up a lot of reviews, and videos on mics and since all i would be shooting is family events, i choose the videomic pro. Sound is very clear once i dial in the settings on my handycam. Very please with the mic.
