- The Rode VideoMic Me and Rode VideoMicro, two new on camera microphones from Rode, one for compact system cameras, the other for iPhone & other smartphones… but how they sound?
Also a Rode videomic Go vs Rode Videomic Me / VideoMic go vs Videomicro side by side comparison.
On board camera mics vs VideoMicro
and iPhone microphone vs VideoMic me.
RODE you should thank this guy, he is a great guy! I bought RODE Video mic pro from his recommendation! that was 3 years a go i think
azizul zulzaha def a great video that deserves some praise. during the side by side, for audio quality, I preferred the bigger mic on the left. if quality isn't an issue, then I would say get the micro.
BUT! I would not have been able to make this decision without this great, side-by-side comparison!
The Micro is definitely better with side rejection and rear rejection but the sound quality is much richer on the Rode Go microphone. I am listening with Studio Reference Monitor speakers and the Go sounds much better
even on my phone the go sounds richer indeed
+AirsoftWarfareHD Same, KRK's here
AirsoftWarfareHD true guy! Don't get me wrong, the mic did do a good job on the autoshow floor, but not so well during the comparison :)
best review ever. This is the perfect review on these products.
Spot on info, I'm a totally amateur youtuber with ambitions of upping my game and one of the things that's really really bothering me is sound quality especially since most of my vids are outside.
My kit needs to be small, compact and easily rechargeable due to the nature of the adventures I embark upon.
This little mic will be perfect for me but I was afraid the sound quality would be bobbins, we'll all those worries have been put to bed now and I'm gonna go strait from this video and order myself one.
Thank you very much ^_^
@blunty , I've watched 4 separate explanations of these mics, and you've surpassed them all with your cunning wit and clear approach. Thank you for FULLY explaining the pros and cons with specific tests given on the video! Now I know which mic I'll be choosing. #armPump
On this particular test, I'll have to say the VideoMic Go sounded like it had better frequency response.
the rode videomic go sounds better on my monitor speaker... for me...
+bridgebolt51 same
A fantastic review Blunty! Thank you so much! I've watched over a dozen in order to choose a mic to buy and you completely nailed it! A shame to Rode for not sending you a bunch for free!
As someone starting out in the video production world (just out of college with a general visual media degree), I think that the micro does indeed have better off axis noise reduction than the Go, but for some reason I do like the Go audio better. The micro just has a sort of slightly muffled quality to it, not sure if it's just to my ear or not.
Picked up a Rode Vlogger Kit today with the VideoMicro. Haven't tried it out yet, but your video has helped me understand it's capabilities.
Your tests are supercool! You demonstrate EXACTLY what we folks want to know at the speed at which we are thinking about it - no need to skip ahead at all! Brilliant!!!
Absolutely loved this review. Thank you sooooo much for your content!!!
Thank you. Really serious and hands-on review! You make the really important things about each mic stand out, you detail everything satisfactorily. This has been a big help!
Thank You! THISSS is how you review a product. straight to the point. literally answered every question I could imagine for this product and saved me hundreds on several products I was planning to purchase to match this one
I thinks the bigger one sounded better? Am I crazy? I'm thinking about buying one of these to record guitar covers, bad idea?
I prefer the audio from the Go. When you pronounce the letter S whilst using the Me, it sounds a little off, like it's cutting out too much of the higher frequencies. That said, it didn't stand out to me when I watched your videos from Detroit, so it's probably only because I'm comparing the two mics. I do really like both of the designs of the Me/Micro, and they are obviously great little microphones to have when traveling and filming on a small scale.
I've just bought the Videomic Me to use with my Galaxy S6 and it's awesome.
Go sounds better than the Micro in the side by side test.
The iPhone footage on the Car show floor sounded like you narrated it afterwards. Really impressed!!!
On the side-by-side, the first mic is slightly crisper, but the splosives are more noticeable. Really liking the smooth, even sound of that newer mic along with the monitor jack on the back.
BEST COMPARISON YET!
Definitely purchasing the Micro, Thank You!
I love my videomicro! I even preordered it :D I really was one of the first to have it in the world. I use it with my GH3's and with my gopro. It works perfect with a gopro! The deadkitten is the best feature of the package.
Apart from the great review and tests you'll get a like for listening to the Patch!
Thanks was looking for a mic to go with my recent ZV-1 purchase this was what I was leading too but you made me confirm it. I currently have a Video Mic me I used to use on my mobile from years ago but needed a shock mount to put it onto the camera once it comes but it seems the cost for the shock mount is around A$30 incl shipping but for A$70 I can get another VideoMicro plus shock mount & windshield so just purchased another. Subscribed as it looks like you do a bit of everything I'm into Cheers!
Great review as usual Blunty with one major exception. The VideoMic Me is for smartphones in general, not just the iPhone. I'm looking to get one of these for my Nexus 6p and when you kept saying iPhone I thought maybe I had misread the specs until I went an double checked.
seriously the best review! still helpful to this date
Great video! It's exactly what I needed to see when it comes to the performance of the Rhode VideoMic Me👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💙
I loved it. Very good comparison and you are so genuine 👏
Brilliant comparison!
What a fantastic review, not only gives a good idea of the product but full of personality
That's really a number Rode for not providing you review gear! This review is amazing. And I'd consider getting one based on this review.
Thanks for the great review... really helped!!!
Thanks Blunty. Comparison helped a lot. Not only that I also record with Filmic Pro & iPhone. So thanks for making my decision so easy.
thanks blunty
Dude you know what even i got one .. i was a little confused on the video mic go and the video micro but after watching your video i got video micro and ita fantastic
Thank you so much! I have the Rode VideoMic Me Compact TRRS Cardioid Mini-Shotgun Microphone for Smartphones and I have used it with my iPhone and I like it, but I wasn't sure I could use it on my new DSLR (I don't remember getting the mount), but now I know that I can... looking for the mount now.
For what limited tinkering I've done with my camera/mic ( D5200 / Videomic Go ) the lack of a windsock has been a sour-point. comparing the two on your desk, the Go sounds 'clearer' in that the higher tinny frequency is picked up, while the Micro sounds 'clearer' in that there is more overall range, better bass sensitivity to balance it out. ignoring the dead cat, I'd still rate the micro as a better option, throw on the deadcat and it's a no brainer. but that's ignoring the dimensions of the two, and wow, so much in such a small form for the micro? I'd be tempted just as a gadget nerd, given I don't do anything quote unquote serious with my mic.
Interesting view of the two. the Micro is killing it though :)
This comparison is the best on the internet!
What a great review video! Liked and Subscribed!
Awesome video Blunty! Thanks a ton
very professional test, covering all common situations.
Great overview, thanks. I just ordered the videomic me
the Detroit clip sounded so good I really thought you dubed it after the event .
It definitely sucks they didn't send you a product to review, this will be another one of the multiple video reviews that have me fidgeting to grab my credit card from my pocket and purchase ASAP. But I'm GLaD you did the review anyway because it seems like a fantastic product. I'm looking to grab the VideoMic Me to help with audio quality on my 'lazy vlog' type videos. Now if only my iPhone 6 Plus had a better front facing camera, we'd be golden!
Thanks this vid helped me a lot choosing a mic
My girlfriend and I earn a full time living by blogging and Rode should pay you what you deserve for this kind of quality review, the best Rode review. $$$
I’ve been searching for one to use for my vlogs.... add to cart!
wonderful review there. pls continue the good work
Thank you for the good review. Hope to buy a good mic soon to improve the horrible sound on my videos
Wow, that little RVMMe is amazingly good for something that looks like a plastic toy! And good on you, Blunty! That was a great mic review and comparison video. In the very top rank of very best microphone videos on UA-cam!
you make amazing videos! you are my go to guy for reviews!
Subbed thanks to this video. I don't do gaming but I look forward to more cameras, tech, audio stuff.
Just bought the Videomic me, thank you!
That was an awesome Review!!!!!!!
Makes me want to order one straight away. Do they have service in India? I was worried if after spending so much it won't really do the job well.
Looks great! Will definitely check it out if I ever get into vloging etc.
Thank u for this amazing review 👍🏼
Many Thanks Blunty! Your Video make my day!!!! I know which to go for! Thank You.
Grate Video!! you made my day!!!
this review was extremely helpful. Thank you so much!
awesome tests thanks for the help!!
Great review! Thank you for making it!
What a fantastic review, you are awesome, thank you so much.
Well I'm convinced. I'll have to get a VideoMicMe. Been loving the Rode stuff over the years. Started with a Podcaster and went from there. Would be interested in hearing a Rode SmartLav vs. VideoMic Me comparison. I love the SmartLav but for the wireless freedom it'd be worth getting. Thanks man.
Thank you so much for this awesome review! I've been looking for a decent mic that I can use for my on-sight filming that isn't too expensive.
Blunty your reviews are great, love the personality! New fan. I'm going to buy the Rode VideoMic Me right now! RODE HOOK THIS GUY UP!!!
The sound rejection is really nice on the little one, but I find the sound quality of the Rhode a bit better (from the video comparison).
But the tiny one is A LOT better at blocking sideways sound.
Great video mate, thank you from South Africa. Help me make the decision on which mic, going with the ME.
Great review, thanks mate. Also nice to hear an Aussie voice rather than an American on UA-cam.
Extremely helpful video. Good on ya!
Thanks Blunty, great comparison video. I shall get a micro. Cheers mate!
Just what I needed.. VideoMicro vs VideoMic Me thanks.
IDK, I feel like the GO sounds a LITTLE more natural on my laptop's built in speakers, but I can absolutely see why you'd choose the MicRo, it picks up a little more low end, and even if nothing else, the MicRo is MUCH smaller, which in some cases would make it worth while in and of itself.
Absolutely Love It!
Happy to hear the 'VideoMic Me' also works with Android devices. Looking at getting a pic to record my GT86's exhaust note at track days, but unsure if this mic would be suitable. Presumably, one could use this mic attached to a 3.5mm extension cable? That may make it more suitable, as I could have the mic duct-tapped to the car near the exhaust, with the cable running into my phone in the boot.... Hmm.
Thank you SO MUCH for this review!
Thanks Blunt! helped out alot and saved a Few bucks!
I got the same computer case! love it
Thank you for this video
That was very helpful
Well it's all up to you.... If you're more focused on Soundproofing... Then the videomicro is the best option.... But if you're looking for Crispier, Richer & Quality sound... I'll go with the RODE VIDEOMIC GO
decided to get the micro. sounds good
Great reviews and comparison! I'm just gonna buy my first external microphone and I was actually trying to understand the differences. The only thing I'm still unable to decide if I should buy the Micro or the Me one. I'm gonna use my Lumix camera but also my phone for some vlogging so what should I do to be able to use same mic for both devices? Thanks!
hi blunty will the rode videomicro work with the panasonic g6 ? loved the video by the way sir keep up the great work
Useful review, thanks!
Extremely helpful vid 👍🏽
Great video. Really helpful.
Great video! I just ordered the video mic me because I want to switch from using my Canon T3i to using my Samsung galaxy S8 for my UA-cam videos. Thanks for the help!
Jordan
Great review, i loved it!
So Blunty, would you say this is the best mic for a small UA-camr? Any less expensive ones for some one on a budget?
Great review. Thanks!
At the end there i think the GO sounds a bit better with S's, but the Video Micro sounds better with everything else, its amazing what adding a small mic can do for the quality of the your videos. :)
Nice review mate!
best comparison ever, mate !
love the Videomicro
lol i like how you ramble, great work man! =D
Thank you so much! Super helpful :)
Yay 😀 thank you Blunty!
