    • Good sound -- much better than the built in mic on my camera
Color: Black
I recently had occasion to videotape a concert performance. I mounted this mic on a boom about 1 meter above the camera in the audience, and pointing toward the stage. Not really a pro setup, but definitely way better than using the mic on the camera. It picked up just a little bit of the crowd noise to give the recording that 'in front of a live crowd' flavor. Overall sound quality: very good. A good deal, but clearly, if you wanted to spend more, you could get higher quality. The 'wash' from the on-stage monitors muddied the sound a tad, but that could easily have been handled by moving the whole rig back a few more feet. ... show more

    • Pound-for-Pound, A Total BEAST!

Just received my Rode Videomic Go 2 a few days ago and I am absolutely impressed! I already have the Rode Videomic which is an older Rode mic but still offers high quality sound. However, it is larger, more bulky, and requires a 9v battery. I also use a small sound board with xlr Shure SM 57's and 58's for high quality sound. Pound-for-pound, the Rode Videomic Go 2 competes with the sound quality of more expensive mics and more expansive setups. It is truly a big bang-for-the-buck beast! In addition to its competitive, high quality sound, its functionality is simple and its versatility is diverse. Combined with the free Rode Connect and Rode Reporter apps for PC, Mac, Android, and Iphone, the Videomic Go 2 offers the same high quality audio across a variety of platforms and devices with little to no hassle or set up. I have already used this one single mic on-camera, with my S21 Ultra smartphone, on my Tab S7, and my desktop and each set up has provided high quality audio. Versatility. The USB C and 3.5mm outputs make all that possible. At $100, some may not consider this to be a budget friendly option. However, considering the level of quality audio across the various use cases this single mic offers, it's definitely a value. AND, if you look around, you might get lucky and catch a deal. I got mine for $79 which made it an even greater value. Can you get better sound quality from other mics? Sure you can, but they won't have the versatility and you'll be out considerably more than a $100. And how much better will the sound really be? Hmmmmm. (c:] I highly recommend the Rode Videomic Go 2. Hope this helps some folks out there. Go creatives, Go! (c:] ... show more

    • I am stunned at how good this is
Color: Black
As a public information officer for first responders in my county, I recently used this during a recent wild land fire plugged directly into my GH5 to record quick interviews, update videos, community meetings, and guerilla-style filming. I did no work with it in any treated spaces, and the microphone was no closer than 6 feet away from the subjects at any time. I filmed one to three people in the videos. As long as I stayed out of the wind, the audio was clear. It did a good job of rejecting off-axis room noise and other off-axis sound sources. Freq response seemed a bit low on the bass side, flat through the middle, a little high in the mid-highs, and reasonable in the treble end. As to the suspension mount, the camera and tripod got bumped around in some of the recordings, and the bumps never were picked up by the mic. So I'd say the suspension did its job. The only real problem I had was when I tried to film in the wind. While the audio was usable from a run-and-gun quick release format, it would never have passed muster if I needed a clear and clean audio recording. But I've ordered a dead cat to take care of that in the future. I never used the USB interface, so I can't comment on that. Overall, I'm surprised and super pleased with the VideoMic Go II. ... show more

    • Petite, sounds great but prone to RFI in urban centers
Color: Black
I shoot talking head, instructional and run ’n gun video in an urban center filled with radio station towers and high-rises topped with cellphone microwave transmitters. I own several good on-camera mics but am always looking for improvement, especially in terms of RFI resistance. Hence, the VideoMic Go II landed on my doorstep. This is a tiny mic compared to pro shotgun mics. It appears optimized for close indoor and v-blogging use, rather than news crew or movie style set use. Included accessories are spartan: mic, shock mount, foam windscreen and a TRS to TRS cable for cameras or audio recorders and a TRS/TRRS cable for phones. No deadcat, storage bag or USB-C cable. This aluminum clad mic is extremely light and well crafted. The shock mount has a metal shoe. Bravo! On the negative side, cables are thin and cheap and poorly shielded (see remarks below about RFI). And, yeah, a deadcat is sorely needed in Hawaii tradewinds. The foam is almost useless. I made due with a deadcat from my Deity D4. The VideoMic Go II sounds great for talking heads—natural and uncolored—but needs to be .5 meter or nearer or it sounds thin (bass drops off a cliff). It picks up my acoustic guitars amazingly well, sounding full but with nice crispy highs. I also used it for a voiceover using the USB-C output. It doesn’t require any special drivers on the Mac and I could record straight into TwistedWave, Logic Pro and Final Cut pro. Gain is controllable from the System panel. If you choose to use the Rode Central app, you can set low cut (75Hz or 150Hz) and treble boost. I prefer buttons on the mic for these settings. Unfortunately, settings are not retained when you mount the mic on a camera via TRS. The Connect app seems pointless: basically a simple recording app with no editing features and easily beat by GarageBand or TwistedWave. Okay, now the big gotcha. RFI—radio frequency inference—is a constant aggravation in urban centers. I live a block from a radio tower for a class rock station. Almost any analog device sound device—mics, electric guitars, audio recorders, home stereos, etc.—can act like a radio receiver. Unfortunately the VideoMic Go II is not RFI resistant. Using the Rode, that radio station signal is recorded loud and clear on the audio track of my Canon R6 MK II (built-in mics are somehow immune). Incidentally, there were no RFI problems while using the mic with USB-C. Wish cameras allowed USB audio. I’ve dealt with RFI enough I’ve developed a few workarounds. One is to use a wireless transmitter. No luck with Rode Go wireless. Same classic rock station in my tracks. Next, I tried different cables. Cables behave like radio antennas and need to be as short as possible and well shielded. The included Rode TRS to TRS was the worse of the bunch. My other straight cables were almost as bad as the Rode. Finally I tried a blue coiled cable from my Sennheiser MKE 400 and, voila, it worked: RFI free at last. It’s a locking cable but the locking jack seats fine on the VideoMic Go II. It’s called the Sennheiser Pro Audio Sennheiser CL 35 Locking 3.5mm TRS to TRS Coiled Cable if you need one. ... show more
