Today we're going to be looking at the Rode Videomic Pro. The Rode Videomic Pro is one of the most popular recording devices on the planet. The Rode Videomic Pro is an on camera shotgun mic that improves the quality of audio being recorded directly to your camera. Lets take a closer look at the Rode Videomic Pro we are reviewing.
The Rode Videomic Pro is more compact than its cousin, the Rode Videomic, and is about 6.5 inches long. The front of the Rode Videomic Pro has this foam windscreen mounted to its plastic body. The plastic body of the Rode Videomic Pro is suspended from rubber, shock-isolating cords which attach to the Videomic’s standard shoe mount. The Rode Videomic Pro has a ⅜ inch female mic adapter thread on the bottom of the shoe mount so you can mount the mic to a boom pole or a mic stand. The Rode Videomic pro is powered by a 9V battery that is tucked into a compartment on the front of the mic. Since the Rode Videomic Pro consumes very little power, this battery will give you several months of continuous use before you need to replace it. The output from the Rode Videomic Pro is through a 3.5mm right angled connector at the end of a short wire. Now the length of this wire is more than enough to connect to any camera when the Rode Videomic Pro is mounted on the camera. However, if you need to mount the camera farther away, Rode sells a 10ft extension cable that is designed to work with the Rode VideoMic Pro.
Connecting the Rode Video Mic Pro is really easy. The Rode Video mic Pro plugs into the 3.5mm input port on your camera and mounts to the hot shoe mount on your DSLR or camcorder. And you can turn the Rode Videomic Pro on using the buttons on the back of the Rode Videomic Pro . When the Rode Videomic Pro is on, the indicator LED turns green. Now, the indicator will remain green most of the time but will turn red if the battery is about to run out. The rode videomic pro is a directional mic, so it has a much stronger audio pickup from what it is pointed at and a much weaker pickup from all other sources. So its a good idea to have the Rode Videomic Pro pointed directly at the subject you’re looking to get audio from. We’ve also noticed that getting the Rode Videomic Pro as close as possible to the subject, produces the best quality recordings.

No mic is cleaner than this mans voice, he is a master of tension defusing English : D
Great review! ive been searching everywhere for a good break down and demo of this rode video mic, thanks!
+SeriousBeats357 Glad it helped. Please subscribe for more reviews.
I was so wishy washy about which mic, this sold me completely!
Glad it helped. Please hit LIKE
THANK YOU so much good sir. I have been dealing with that "hiss" sound for years. I thought I would have to use Adobe Audition my whole life to get rid of it (and that's way too time consuming), but you showed me how to use my Video Mic and camera more effectively. Your tip worked like magic! You're the best, again, thanks!!!
Thanks for the comment. Please subscribe
Thank you for recommending your review of this mic and thanks for showing the difference with the gain switch at different levels.
+Chris Newman (Fat Libertarian Dude) Glad it was helpful. Please subscribe to stay tuned for more reviews.
Well done!
Was on the edge, but now will purchase the Videomic Pro.
Thanks!
Please, make a tutorial and teach me how you equalize or clean the audio to reduce the noise, i will appreciate you a lot
Dis-moi dans le micro rode mic pro plus il y a de la mousse à l'intérieur dans le tube et j'ai appuyé dessus et la mousse et elle est tout au bout, je voulais savoir si c'était important de la replacer et comment je pouvais faire ça merci beaucoup
Can you recommend a desktop mount for this microphone?
+Mike Menzel I would recommend a mic stand like this one : amzn.to/1rnfkcu
You will also need a 5/8" to 3/8" adapter like this one: amzn.to/1NlXjEA
Compatible with 5d mark ii ?
Yes it is.
+ReviewLamp.com ok thanks mate!
good review
Thanks! Please subscribe
what would be the best microphone for concerts?
Google Is Your Friend! Use It Lad.😉
Shure sm58. Nothing like it.
are you using this mic to record this video?
your narration sounds so good, wondering what mic you use?
Snap Communications We used the Zoom H1 for the narration. Here is the link to that device on Amazon: amzn.to/1uuvnmG
ReviewLamp.com thanks :)
ReviewLamp.com this looks like it records the audio seperately, do you have any recommendations for mics that you've found to be the best but also record directly into your camera (I have a DSLR camera and am having trouble with that hiss). The sound in the demo above didn't sound that much better than the Sennheiser 400 that I have. Do you have a top pick?
On the higher end, we'd recommend the Rode NTG 2: amzn.to/14BTtlV
But the NTG 2 has an XLR output, so you'll need an audio interface like the BeachTek DXA- 2T: amzn.to/1wQIEmv
Another good option is the Audio Technica AT875: amzn.to/1wQJ38C
But this mic will again need the Audio interface I listed above.
Hope this helps.
Can it be connected to a PC/ mobile phone for Dubbing?
+Keerthi Varman Yes it can. If your computer has a mic input port
1. Thank you very much for this video, I guess I am going to get one. :)
2. My advice is for the portion where you record with the mic to show to your viewers the quality of the mic, to also have parts where you don't say anything.
Thanks again.
+Trusteft Thanks for the comment. And for your suggestion. Will take that into consideration the next time I do a video like this one.
nice
Thanks for showing this video is the newer Rode Videomic Pro Rycote a better Mic than this one you have in this video its for my Sony FDR-AX53 Camcorder.
+John Lennon Fanatic I have tested it and it isn't better in terms of quality. It's better only in terms of vibration isolation, thanks to the rycote mount.
ReviewLamp.com Thanks for your help.
It is a very bad microphone that should definitely be avoided. How come a product that says "pro" is manufactured with a built-in, unchanging crappy cable? I've been having a pitch noise problem since I got it. The reason is probably that the cable is stuck somewhere. It is not possible to understand how such a product can be made without a jack (I can offer which has get it with a double-sided jack in the cheaper model "micro").
The second big problem is the plastic crappy battery cover, you have to wrestle with the microphone to insert and remove the battery. Worst battery cover I've ever used in my life. I would never have guessed that a battery cover could turn my life upside down so much. After about 10 uses, the tabs of the battery cover (naturally) broke and black electrical tape is holding the battery cover now. This product costs around 200 USD. Kindergarten children who aged 0-6 would have designed this product better than Rode. As for the sound quality, if I can ignore the ongoing pitch noise -which I can't- if you're making news, making documentaries or having the opportunity to connect it to something like a boom etc., takes the human voice fine, but not too much better than my zoom. its terrible design should definitely lead you to other options.
sounds really bad and distant
Because canon has really terrible amplifier
