We used an Audio-Technica AT899 wired lav mic. Lavs tend to work a bit better for interviews than shotguns since you can put the mic closer to the person's mouth which gives you less ambient sound.
During the brief demo using the VideoMic Pro, we set the level control on the microphone to +20dB to increase the input level to the camera. We were then able to lower the input levels on the camera to reduce noise from the camera's preamps. Keep in mind also that I'm in a fairly quiet studio and I'm standing fairly close to the camera. If your subject is further away, the sound may be thinner. There is no additional processing on the audio in post production.
@Turti Produkcija RESPONSE:
The shock mount and shoe mount are integrated and not removable. They are designed to work expressly with this RODE VideoMic Pro. Other after market mounts are not recommended and may void the manufacturer's 10 year warranty, as well as damage the microphone and/or your camera.
Thank you and thanks for watching. Our superstore occupies an entire city block and is located on 9th Avenue between 33rd and 34th Street. We look forward to greeting you when you come to visit.
@Turti Produkcija RESPONSE:
The Rode VideoMic will connect to your camera via the external microphone jack. To mount it on camera you will need a Pearstone SSA-III AIS Shoe Adapter as SONY uses a dedicated hot shoe (AIS). The B&H model number for the adapter is: PESSAIII. Alternatively you can use a bracket to mount the mic: Bescor VB-50 Universal Shoe Mount Adapter Bracket - B&H # BEVB50.
Most of the video is recorded using an Audio-Technica AT899 lav mic. There is a brief demo section from 3:13 to 3:32 where we compare the camera's built in mic to the VideoMic Pro so you can hear the difference.
@rangersyankees1
I believe the camera you mean is the HDR-550V, in which case yes, the Rode VideoMic Pro will work well with that camera. The camera has a mic mini input.
just ordered it from you guys for my 60D. Cant wait for it to come in on Wednesday!
I just got the videomic pro and it's really good for its size. Plugged into my M-Audio microtrack ii recorder, it just sounds amazing. A very simple way to record high quality sound. I have never tried the Rode straight into my cam though. I prefer to have both soundtracks to mess with.
Great deal. Just right size for us. Wish we had bought one sooner.
@Richard Gibbon "We use Audio Technica AT899 lavalier mics. But in the video you can hear the Rode VideoMic Pro at 3:28."
Would definitely recommend this mic! I use it with my Canon 60D.
Remember to keep the cameras audio levels low, and then set the dB on the Rode to +20dB for better quality audio.
We use Audio Technica AT-899 lavaliers. Thanks for watching.
@itekguc
Most welcome. Thank you for watching.
@natkutje182
RESPONSE:
I suggest some experimentation and testing since no two live venues or recording situations are identical. For interviews - the 80Hz filter setting may be best. For the music, you should try the -10db pad setting to minimize distortion due to overmodulation.
We used an Audio Technica AT899. Thanks for watching.
@RecklessPranksters There is a microphone input on the camera so the mic will work on it but there is no shoe on the camera to mount the mic itself.
There are some accessories available to add a shoe off the camera that can help in this case.
On the B&H site search for B&H # BEVB50 for example
Just picked this up for my GH4, big improvement over the internal mic and don't get the gain buzz in the audio track nearly as bad.
@NorthTexasTornados
Yes, the Rode Videomic Pro is compatible with the Canon HFG10.
@rangersyankees1
The SONY HDR-CX550V has an external microphone input that will allow the Rode VideoMic to be connected. We recommend using a shoe adapter to mount the mic to the camera: Bescor - SA-1 Universal Swivel Shoe Adapter B&H# BESA1 Mfr# SA-1.
@photosnclipsCom If the audio is clipping, please try using the -10dB mode of the 3-way level switch. Also lower the gain settings of your host device.
awesome review! it's funny because I purchased the videomic pro last week. i'm waiting for it to come in the mail and just watched this video and realized i purchased it from you all!!! :D thanks, i feel more comfortable with my purchase!
We use the Audio-Technica AT899 lavalier mic. Thanks for watching!
@rangersyankees1 The Rode VideoMic Pro will connect directly into the camera via it's included 1/8", 3.5mm, mini male cable/connector.
Rob is a legend! I love B&H, my favourite shop in NYC....
At this point we were using an Canon XH-A1S camcorder. For microphones, we used an Audio Technica AT899. Thank you for watching.
@GameCentralTactics
It will not work with that camera. The camera does not have a microphone input.
@Сергей Мешков
The Sony ECM-CG50 Shotgun Microphone B&H# SOECMCG50 is recommended by SONY for this camera. I am not aware of any issues using a Rode VideoMic Pro with this camera however.
You guys are awesome. I've been trying to find out more about the Rode mic. I will definitely be purchasing from you when I get to it. I think you guys have a location on 38th in NYC...
I just bought the regular Rode VideoMic. Darn it!
That music at the end of your video, I've heard it in The Online Gamer before! That aside great review! I'm thinking about getting this mic :) Thanks
This review has everything. Very nicely done.
@photosnclipsCom Can you describe the noise you are referring to? Is it a background noise? Or is the audio clipping from it being too loud?
@ArtKosarev We use Audio-Technica AT899's. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for sharing this info!
@Tonystarkes888 Yes it will work with any Canon Camera with a mic input
Great video and can't wait to try this mic out with my go pro 3+ and also my sony AX100/b
If your camera doesn't have a mic input you could use an external recorder like the H1 or H4 Zoom.
Great video Rob but please tell me out of interest what mic. did you use on this video (and what camera did you use also) both video and audio are lovely quality
Thanks for letting me know. Very Helpfull
The Rode VideoMic Pro is threaded with a standard 3/8" thread for mic stands. Many mic stands are also threaded for the 5/8" European standard or have a removable bushing/adapter for 3/8" as well. Or use this adapter: B&H # AKKM216. Please contact us via e-mail if you have additional questions: askbh{at}bandh{dot}com. Mark S.
Hello!
The light in the back of my mic is red. What's that means? I remember it used to be Green.
Is my battery or something? thank you! Great video!
spot on review dude! I have to record bands and do interviews backstage this weekend, just got one. what you reccomend as settings?
thanks a lot for the info. I suppose with "wired" you mean it was wired directly to the camera, instead of being wired to a separate sound recorder like Zoom or Tascam?
This channel needs more David Flores!
Hi. I have the Rode VideoMic Go, the one with the Rycote Base. I'm getting some really annoying hissing sound on the mic. please help
+JDM3 - If you are having issues with your Rhode Video Mic, I would suggest sending an email to our Audio Department. In the email you would want to let us know what camera you are using and whether or not you are using a wind screen. We could then help trouble shoot what might be going on. *Christina* AskUA-cam@bhphoto.com
what lavalier mic did you use in this video?
Looks like some sort of lapel mic. Rode makes one called the "SmartLav+" that's pretty popular
Great review guys.
Rode is an Australian Company. - Juan B
Thank you!
What lav mic are you using here?
Hey, if your planning to do voice overs use the Snowball Mic or Zoom H4N
Hey B&H, what would you say is a the "better" shotgun mic in terms of audio and ergonomics? The Azden SGM 1X, or the Rode VideoMic Pro? Thanks for replying and keep on doing what you guys do. :-)
the minus -10 db don`t work for recording band`s ed
its just don`t work you gonna get a flat sound on several camcorders
what works is a Pocketrak
grtz
I have a question that I feel will be better asked here than in the store. What were you using to record THIS video? The native mic on the camera is worst of all, the Rode is a vast improvement, but the best of all is whatever you were using for the majority of the video. What was that?
great video, thanks
Just picked one up!
Thank you.
Do you have to sync the audio to your video after filming on your laptop/mac?
Syncing is not necessary as the signal from the Rode VideoMic Pro is recorded to the camera.
Please contact us via e-mail if you have additional questions: askbh@bandh.com.>Mark
Im looking at buying one of thses for my 60D too, go figure! lol nice product video thankyou!
great review,keep it up guys!
How can I mount the Rode VideoMic Pro on a tripod boom arm. Such as, the On-Stage Boom Stand. The threading on the Rode is different to a normal mic stand's, so I was wondering how I could mount it on a boom stand
Great video! I've bought items from B&H and you guys have been amazing!
Is there a battery meter or do you have to estimate the remaining power from the 70hr battery life?
The power indicator LED flashes RED briefly when the microphone
is first turned on. This changes to GREEN indicating the battery has adequate charge.
When the battery runs low the LED will remain RED and you should replace the battery. The microphone will work for over ten hours once the RED indicator is lit, however with reduced performance.
RØDE recommends changing the battery as soon as possible after the LED has turned red.
Please contact us via e-mail if you have additional questions: askbh@bandh.com. Mark S.
B and H This is exactly what I was hoping for and what I wanted to know, thank you!
at 3:32 when the Rode VMP windjammer comes off what is that white plastic looking tube? is that a shotgun mic ?
How well is this mic going to work for street interviews?
@Nurds1231 This mic fits easily and firmly into the hot shoe on the D3100.
Thank you, we appreciate your business.

As of Oct 2016, is the "Audio Technica "AT899 still your first choice.?
hi. do you mind mentioning what Lav microphone you are using during this presentation? Could it be a replacement for the Rode for interview recordings? thanks
You have a couple of options since this camera does not have a standard hot or cold shoe for accessories:
Pearstone SSA-III AIS Shoe Adapter for Sony Camcorders: B&H # PESSAIII or Vello CB-500 Dual Shoe Bracket: B&H # VECB500

The Nikon D3100 Digital SLR Camera only has an audio jack, so is this rode mic compatible with this camera?
QUESTION: OKAY wait so you plug this in to your DSLR and the sound gets recorded into the dslr along with your video? the audio and video are not seperate? i dont need to purchase an additional recorder for it right?
thanks a lot for the info.
Can this mic be used with PC? I mean for voiceovers etc. I want a versatile mic that can be mounted on a DSLR, but also the ability to plug into my laptop and record.
Just getting into trying to make my audio more professional for my videos. Been doing research but still confused on the topic. I've been told that balanced XLR is best and to avoid 3.5 but almost everything I've heard about the Rode VideoMic Pro has been good. Do I need to get a pre amp and get XLR for on camera (using Canon T2i) and booming audio or is the Rode VideoMic Pro set-up a good way to go. Thank you for your help.
Great video. I'd really appreciate some advice. I was looking for a microphone to use with my Sony PJ540. I do vlogging and interviews and future documentaries. I'm still in school and I really cannot afford either of these microphones (I would if I could). Anyhoo, I have a Zoom H2n. Please tell me if I can use this for the time being to accomplish the same or similar results as the two mics discussed here? I purchased the mount you told another reader about (Vello). Thank you in advance.
There is no disputing that balanced audio is the best choice overall. But convenience and price are to be considered as well. The Rode VideoMic Pro is a convenient, value priced, "plug and play" solution that delivers astounding results that often compare well with far costlier XLR shotgun mics.

Any suggestions on videoing a flutist would be most helpful! I am having trouble with notes at the high end of range. They sound beautiful to my ear when my daughter plays but sound discordant when we play back audio. These videos are part of audition packages and need to sound great. Thx
You may want to mic the flute directly with a specialized instrument microphone: Shure PGA98H-XLR Clip-On Cardioid Condenser Horn Mic with Inline Preamp and Cable (15')

Hey I have a big question for you. What Lav mic are you using and how are you using it to record and sync up to your video
if u film with this you wont have to dubb over in process with it?
@nigel101 yeah, i want to know too if this hisses because that is the main issue with the mikes im using right now in my video work :(
I need help from my friends at B&H.
Will this mic work with a canon elph 100.
Thanks
How were you lighing this? is that a charcoal backdrop with a ring light?
Will this mic work on my Sony A65? It has mini audio input but some mics refuse to work with it/
3:27 for rode sample. clips out on "VWALLA" a little..
Are there any smaller Shoe Mount Adapters???
What mic are you using in the video? It doesn't sound like the videomic pro
When I say "wired" I mean that its not a wireless setup that uses radio frequencies to transmit the sound.
The Nikon D3100 has no external microphone input. So it will not accept the Rode microphone. Please contact us via e-mail if you have additional questions: askbh{at}bandh{dot}com. MarkS
can someone please answer me question? will this attach to my Camileo x200 camcorder? please help!
Hi there!! I want to buy a new mic for my camera and I already have Sony ECM-HW, but I want to improve my gear collection, so I am wondering which mic is better for really great sound results at indoor and outdoor shooting. Is it Rode Videomic Pro, Rode Stereomic Pro or Sony ECM-CG50?? A shoe-mount is not a problem.
Thank you and greetings from Slovenia :) Ciril Zupan
Can I use this with my Canon Legria HF G10?
Does this rode microphone fit on the nikon d3100
Which microphone were you using during the video? Thank you :)
how far were you standing during the mic demo?
What wireless mike do you use to record these videos?
I bought one and I am having no luck. I can't hear anything. It sounds like anything I do here is coming from the internal mic still. I have tried it in all kinds of ways. Do I need to go into my menu and adjust the audio settings to my Nikon d5100?
This should be plug and play. Make sure the mic has a fresh battery inserted correctly and is switched "ON". Please contact us via e-mail if you have additional questions: askbh@bandh.com. Mark S.
Which mic do you recommend for car videos? Like drifting, revving, etc. Thanks in advance
+Erik R If you are shooting with a DSLR consider using a stereo mic to capture the ambient sounds:
