    Does not work without a AMP either in line or boost firmware in video cam. Did not work with my canon. Needs a built in power signal amp.

    Best mic with a few expectations

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I receive my package in the mail. Opened with excitement and quickly set up. No batteries, no switches! Quick and easy. Now for sound. It's better than the on camera mic for sure. I have a couple of Nikon DSLR's. Full auto picks up some lens focus noise, and some not so great sound quality but wait! Switch lens to manual focus, adjust the sound levels in camera and you're done. For an all around mic to have with me and trouble free! 5 stars all the way. Tested in different environments and know there will be a little post production to the sound but also my video. It's a great mic and would recommend to anyone. Rode makes some good products. If your looking for a cost effective easy addition to you videos give this one a try. I almost bought another one for less money and I'm so glad I didn't.

    Love the directional nature of this microphone. I do a number of videos by waterfalls, rushing creeks, etc. and this microphone records my voice while attenuating the ambient sounds.

    Experience the audio quality yourself!

    This is a great microphone, especially for beginners. I have unboxed this item and have provided a completely unbiased review of the microphone here: https://youtu.be/qBW48EiSu00 I purchased this microphone to use with the Nikon DSLR 5600 camera and the two work wonders together! Hear the audio quality for yourself against the Nikon 5600 built in microphone, and against an IPad audio. I am very happy with this purchase!

    Great Microphone for a digital camera

    Works perfectly on an old Nikon D5100 that I handed down to my son. He’s having a blast recording short videos with it. States is almost as good as his studio mic he uses for recording podcasts etc.
