    Excellent microphone. Works well with my Sony a7iii. Audio is so much better with it, and doesn’t sound much different than the Rode VideoMic Go! Well worth the price!

    I gave it 5 starts because it works great on a GoPro. Tried on camera and not the same quality.

    I purchased a microphone that was cheaper than this and it was not that great. Spend the money to get this microphone and you will not be disappointed. Great microphone for smart phone.

    I own and run a small production company. I am a loyal Rode user and have many of their products. I would recommend the Video Micro for anyone wanting a compact and clean sounding mic.

    I bought this for better audio on my mirrorless and DSLR cameras. For interviews, I use a lapel mic as my primary mic and use this on my backup camera. I wish it was a little more sensitive at times but it is definitely a step up over the built-in mics and having a windscreen helps with wind or other distractions. The isolating rubber mount for the mic is a little weak to hold it level. When the dead cat is installed, it’s too heavy for the mount and it droops. I use a rubber band to help level it back out but I don’t think I should have to do this.

    Good Mic, some flaws

    Clearly buying a 70$ won't compare to buying a 200$ microphone. But it still can be used with other tasks such as recording on a phone (for an interview, or video purposes), or with other recording devices. Although some of the flaws that can be seen with the mic are the holder, where it can be very irritable to manage if you are recording, there are some ways to get around this by looking at a holder beforehand or knowing how to securely fasten the mic. The results of different recordings from a DSLR Camera, to an iPhone, or Sony Camcorder have been great audio that can enhance video or audio recording.

    The sound quality on the videos I've made using this mic is excellent. I've found that time is the true test for video mics, though, so we'll see. One note: I purchased this to use with an iPhone because various sources said it would be compatible. It is not. It requires a separate purchase of a different cable PLUS a lightning adapter. Madness! Don't be misled like I was. This mic is made to be used with an actual camera, and for that it works beautifully.

    The mic picks up great quality audio. I cant believe its only $60. However the mount is pretty cheap and i broke mine pretty easily. its too rigid, which causes it to snap when placing the mic in.
