Rode SVMP first time using

"For years I have used an older microphone on my video camera and even the same old mic on my Canon 5D Mark II. I thought the quality was alright until i asked someone to do some professional editing. Comments I received back weren't great about the sound quality.

Excellent Mic. Great price!

I love this video mic. I use it with a Panasonic Lumix GH3 and it sounds really good. It's a little big for a DSLR camera but the audio quality is fantastic. When I really want to enhance the audio recorded from this mic, I will export the audio that's connected to the video file from Final Cut Pro...

Hissing, Scratching Noises

This mic looks cool, but has serious issue. I hear weird sound, like hissing or something high pitch noises. I thought that it might be the lense auto focusing, however, turns out it is from the MIC. Tested with different mic, there was no such noise, as well as interior mic from Panasonic.

Best bang for the buck

Incredible sound compared to most higher end external mics, best bang for the buck! Super lightweight despite its plastic frame and mount it is incredibly strong and a huge step up from your cameras built in microphone! Five stars!

Rode VideoMic Mic Customer Review

This is a great product. The only reason I gave it a nine is because in all fairness I haven't tried another and there may be something that works better but my search is over. Especially for the price. Love it.

A lot of recording power

Purchased the Rode VM Pro last year for some projects, never really relied on it for anything other than syncing audio with other mics closer to the source, or plugged into a board.

Easy to use BUT don't forget to turn on the battery!

I found this mike quite good although filming a live band with the mic set at -10db it couldn't handle the audio and gave me rumbling and distortion at 8 metres away from the music...I would recommend this mic if you want to record an acoustic guitarist or just general audio like a party etc...
Pros:
  • Easy to use
  • Compact
  • Build quality
  • Battery life
