    Reviewing & testing out the new ultra-compact RODE VideoMicro II. I provide several side-by-side tests outdoors, in the wind, vlogging, and indoors as a voice-over mic. Both mics perform about on par. The key difference is that the VideoMic GO II has USB-C for digital output recording, whereas the VideoMicro II is more compact and only offers 3.5mm output. Because of its size and rugged build, the VideoMicro II might be one of the best vlogging shotgun microphones under $100. The VideoMicro II is the same as the Video Micro II. The naming scheme gets a little confusing though, as the RODE Video Mic GO II is last year's model with USB-C recording.

    Incredible comparison! Instead of using a studio to compare, this way ppl can actually hear how it really sounds like. Since ppl that would buy this are almost likely to use it outside instead of a studio. Making most comparisons on UA-cam irrelevant tbh lol this by far is the best one yet! AWESOME JOB!!!!!

    Great video. They both lack of bass response making your voice sound thin. I have the video Micro II, but I´m selling it because the Boya BY MM1+ sounds way better and even has a headphone output.

    Big negativ point is that it just got 110db spl instead of 140db on the first gen. That reflect in heavy distortion in windy conditions and also useless for recording loud car audio or drums

      If it just wind use proper dead cat. But I've seen a lot videos where version 2 is struggling with clipping in wind

Because I had the rode videomicro ll for months now since I got me a camera and i just heard about the rode videomic go ll the features that come with it that i like so should i go with the rode videomicro ll or the rode videomic go ll?

      The closer you can get the microphone to the source, the better. So in this case I’d recommend a lapel:

      These are not intended for that reason. Removing background noise you need a different microphone. These are for recording the ambience and whatever sound comes directly to the microphone. You can remove in edit but there are more expensive microphones that can do that
