Rode Videomic Go Lightweight On Camera Microphone With Integrated Rycote Shockmount, Multicolored

ممتاز جدا جدا

Es un micrófono sencillo pero eficaz. Lo utilizo para grabar en exteriores, y la calidad es buena. Su conexión de 3.5mm es de gran utilidad; solo le falta un deathcat (lo venden por separado), pero es una compra a buen precio y calidad, además de que es ligero. Yo lo utilizo con caña para un audio de grabación de vídeos.

I watched so many youtube videos before ordering this mic and let me tell you the most common issue described in them was the hissing/clicking noise, let me tell you that has got nothing to do with the mic but with the pre-amp on your camera, when i tried recording through this mic to an external recorder there was no hiss/click noise whatsoever, also the noise cancellation on this one is pretty awesome especially when you are in moderately noisy environment, this is so good that it gives you near studio quality recording quality for the price. next is the manufacturer, Rode, they are awesome! i faced an issue regarding the tightening ring which was jammed when i received the product, but on me contacting Rode via e-mail & Twitter, they responded promptly suggesting a fix and it worked! they also sent me the number and address for their service centre near my location, which i did not have to visit as my issue was fixed. i highly recommend this microphone and i currently use it for recording directly into my DSLR and my phones where it works like a charm. One last piece of advise, since this item is non returnable on amazon, try buying it from an offline store near you as in case of any problem you will just be oscillating between amazon customer service and seller, who in my case was pathetic, other than that, Just go For it!!!

So far this mic has really impressed me! Admittedly all audio recordings I've done have been inside so far, so in regards to anyone complaining about it picking up wind noises, I cannot confirm that. But for my purposes, which so far is exclusive to recording indoors, I have literally no complaints. I use this on my Sony A6300 and it is noticeably better than my cheap Neewer 36cm mic I had previously. This mic would for sure mount into any mirrorless or DSLR camera hot shoe mount. And although I am recording on my tripod I can see how the design for the plastic that holds up the mic would benefit to those who are going to be recording while the camera is bumping around. It is a very well-built product and I know that Rode (Australian made) is a quality brand, so I was happy to pay the price for this mic. It's worth it. Even the packaging was nice. You get what you pay for, and for those looking for a good quality mic, look no further!

The mic works well. Very easy to setup, just plug and use. Great buy.

This is a great budget video mic. You can get cheaper ones and I did try a cheaper one. Firstly it's a tenfold improvement on the in-camera mic, it's seriously better. It does have some downsides which I'll get into further down. The built in camera mic on most cameras has all the sound quality of an asthmatic mouse whispering in the next room, while a high school rock band plays 'Smells like teen spirit' for the first time next door before artistic differences cause them to fight and break up 10 mins later, before reforming for a comeback tour. I'm not sure where I was going with that analogy. It also beats the cheaper ones by a wide margin, like Richmond Football Club playing Nunawading Football Club. Google Nunawading FC, also if anyone has a Nunawading FC guernsey for sale get in touch. The step up in performance of this from my cheaper budget mic was just great, in both sound but especially build quality. I know Rode have a lot more products that have a seriously increased sound recording quality over this one but they also come with an increased price to match that quality. So you won't be getting studio quality but you will get a mic much better than some of the cheaper stuff out there, especially if you're just an enthusiast like myself and have a budget that suits being a hobbyist. Maybe I had a dud cheap one but I did see an immediate improvement over my previous one. What are the problems. Firstly you can get some hiss, especially in low noise environments where it seems its almost trying to hunt for any ambient background sounds but this could be just my cameras sound processing. To beat this, I lowered my dB levels in camera and set my sound settings to manual to stop the camera from adjusting anything. Just like my cheaper one this removed the hiss but to a greater extent. You'll need to play with your settings to work out what's best for your specific camera. The second problem you will encounter is interference from radio signals. I'm talking WiFi, phone, certain lights etc or any similar source. You can manage this interference by turning them off or a simple solution I use is to put a bit of copper shielding tape on the back of the mic. You can get this tape from hardware stores, electronic stores, guitar stores and yes even Amazon. Even cheaper, a bit of aluminium foil will help. Another thing I suspect may be causing this is the cable. This cable also powers the mic and is the input to the camera. I suspect the coiled red cable is generating an EMF source of interference. Perhaps the cable is shielded but I doubt it very much. I haven't as yet done a simple cable swap, this may improve things but I'm honestly not sure if the tiny current changes in the audio signal would have any measurable or noticeable impact on generating EMF. I hope not because the coiled red cable looks absolutely cool. Another thing that I always do, if I'm recording someone speaking is to try to flex the shock mount so the mic points to the upper chest of the person rather than the mouth. Basically you generally point the camera at someone's head when recording them and the mic tends to point at their head or above. This will mean if they move or turn their head sound quality changes or you may be pointing at a sound source behind them, making you believe your mic is crap. Pointing it at their chest will reduce this effect significantly. To get great sound • Reduce dB levels in camera and set sound to manual • Some shielding tape helps to reduce RFI interference • The cable may be a source. • Pay attention to where exactly your mic is pointed. • Oh and use a dead cat / wind shield they also help on ambient background noise. I'm getting the sound of a $250+ mic on a $80+ mic.
