Customer Ratings & Reviews

Compact, easy to use and sounds great. Recommend if you need an affordable on board microphone.

Leagues better than camera microphone. Easy to use as long as you remember to turn it on everytime. Works well for close range and indoor use.

Decent quality mic. However anything picked up behind the mic is super dull. I recommend getting the clip on bluetooth DJI mics, or even the RODE version of the bluetooth clip mic.

Perfect for recording and submitting recordings on-line. Lightweight and compact. Very easy to use.

Was too long for my Sony - shows up in view. is a great mic other than that.

Great mic, great sound. Lightweight and easy set up

Easy to use and good quality sound. Good for beginners and more experienced filmmakers

The rode mic pro will increase your audio quality and it is acceptable for indoor and outdoor use pending the use of a wind sock(dead cat). I have found that by using both this rode mic and a handheld zoom H5 which is far better on audio quality but pairs well in post production that one may pick up better at times and I can use audio from two separate sources, both of which are good. Overall, I do like this product but wish I would have purchased the Pro+.

I didn't realize they'd come out with a new version of this mic when I purchased this one. I was going to return it but after watching Rode's video I realized I had exactly what I needed. 2 switches. That's it. No complex button combinations to remember, so blinking light counts to remember. I'm sorry, but in the field you want reliability and SIMPLICITY! This mic is simple and it get the darn job done.

The audio quality of this microphone is great, and it is Made in Australia. Please note that this is NOT A STEREO MICROPHONE, it is a DUAL MONO MICROPHONE, which is a common arrangement in shotgun microphones.

So I did a lot of research on what on camera microphone is the best to get for shooting video and this has to be it. I tried out the sneheieser and the quality of the sound wasn't nearly as good as compared to the VMP. If you have the money do yourself a favor and purchase this mic, audio is 50% of whatever video you make, so you want to make sure you audio quality is Good.

Absolutely love this mic. It picked up audio perfectly and super crisp. I highly recommend

I purchased this to go with my camcorder but I had to return it because it was not what I was looking for. It seemed like a nice mic, just not what I was looking for. I had to return it. Did not use it

Did all I needed to do, easy install out of the box ready to go

I had the original Video Micro, but the Canon pre-amps are noisy so I scrapped that for this because of the preamp in it. Great improvement.

I wont give it less stars because its an excellent micopgie but it didnt fit my needs and i returned it.

This Rode mic adds professional audio quality to my Canon DSLR 7D and GoPro Hero8, which are both recognized for the high picture/video quality & equally terrible sound! This Rode mic uses a 9V battery & is a simple plug & play operation.

This is the second RODE compact shotgun mic I've purchased. Excellent quality...highly recommend

A solid vlogging microphone. Easy to set up, good battery life and decent sound. In combination with Lavs, an excellent on the go microphone.

Best of the best, I recommend this mic for anyone who is actually wanting a really good mic for an affordable price!
