Review: Great quality and fair price for something that will hugely improve your recordings - There is a minefield of information to digest when it comes to microphones. There are so many different types to consider, and so many different versions of those types it can be hard to know even where to begin. If you're doing recordings in a static environment, perhaps from a desk at home, you're more than likely going to be wanting a condensing microphone and many people will point you towards a product by Blue Yeti. I certainly would as they're superb. If you want your recordings to be mobile, or your subject is going to be far from the camera, a microphone mounted to the talker in the form of a lavalier mike will be the way to go. However, if you want a microphone that you can mount directly to your DSLR camera and have the versatility of both studio and mobile work, an On-camera microphone such as this VideoMicro by Rode is ideal. Rode, if you're not familiar with them, are one of the best manufacturers of microphones in the business. They're based in Australia and manufacture a number of highly regarded On-camera and lavalier products. You just need to decide which one is right for you. There are four or five On-camera mikes that they manufacture which you might consider, from this baby of the range VideoMicro up to the VideoMic Pro+. Each step will bring added features, at added cost, but the VideoMicro is the best selling On-camera mike on desertcart for a reason. It offers excellent sound quality for a relatively modest outlay. You get a compact microphone along with a furry "dead cat" wind supresser, and a detachable TRS cable to connect from the microphone to your DSLR. The microphone attached to the hot shoe of your DSLR camera, and tightend using a dial to get make it stable. When connected the TRS cable can be snapped into slots in the dial which braces the microphone to the camera and prevents wobbling. The sound quality of the microphone is really good, certainly a vast improvement over the in-built microphone in my Nikon D5300 camera. The sound of me doing my pieces to camera is really quite impressive. Being at the bottom end of the Rode range you might expect comprimises, and while the audio gain isn't as impressive as the top end of the range, you're only paying a fraction of the price and you're still getting a very good mike. A word on that, when you connect it to your camera you'll need to go into your menu settings and adjust the gains of the microphone to properly calibrate it. There's instruction in the box for how to do this, and plenty of tutorials online. The TRS cable provided is designed to plug the microphone into your DSLR's mic/aux-in port. Note that this is a different type of connection to the port you'd find on a smart phone. Phones usually use a TRRS port which despite the similar name isn't the same thing. If you look at a connector you'll see a ring on it. That's the "R" of TRS (Tip/Ring/Sleeve). A TRRS connector has two rings (Tip/Ring/Ring/Sleeve). You can buy converters to change a TRS cable to a TRRS, or Rode will sell you a different cable, a TRS to TRRS cable, which will allow you to connect this microphone to your smart phone. Anyway, I've been using mine now for about two months and I've been very impressed with the performance. While I could have spent more money on better ones in the Rode range I've been perfectly happy with the product and highly recommend it.
Review: AMAZING mic - Honestly such a fantastic microphone for multiple use cases. I primarily use it with my Sony A7 for professional video shoots, but it also works as a brilliant voice over or streaming microphone. Give the flexibility you have with this microphone and all of the fantastic features like duel channel audio (life saver) I’d say it’s worth every penny. The battery is also very good, and setup only takes a few seconds.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful compact mic
*by B***. on 1 July 2024*

This is a fantastic little mic, fantastic sound quality and very crisp sound. Comes with "dead cat" so even works well in poor weather conditions. Has aux cable connectors, no Bluetooth. I see that as a positive as it means no batteries but cable can get a little in the way. Lovely small compact mic, easy to store away in your camera bag. Not bulky if you wanted it in your pocket. Would make a nice small desk mic for meetings etc without feeling in the way. For the price this is a definite buy and a great little starter mic/every day mic. The one thing that does let it all down though is the mic seems a little heavy for the mounting so, it can sometimes seem a little "floppy" in the mounting or just tends to droop down.
