Excellent review. Could you please show us a small tutorial on your talking head videos? Assume your record the sound separately on your laptop and sync with video later? I’m new to this would like to learn and your tutorial would really help and appreciated.
Why did you set the High Pass Filter to 150 Hz? When you switched from the Macbook mic to the Go II I was so disappointed that it lacks so much bottom end. Then I saw you had HPF on. Usually, there is no need for 150Hz unless there are external noises this low from machines etc Your voice sounds much better without HPF or 75Hz.
Thanks, glad you liked it! It's a great small mic with awesome performance. No edits were made to the audio aside from adjusting the base gain levels which were originally recorded at about -12db.
great video! Which arm do you use for the rode video go ii? I guess you need to find out that makes it go directly to your mouth vs to the side? Thanks for your recommendation.
Can you link or name the set up you have of everything commected to the microphone at 5:04? Looking to have a similar set up and one where I can hold it looking like a reporter mic. Thanks!
So long as you have your main source connected via USB-C that should work. However, keep in mind that if you want those advanced EQ settings, the RODE app does need to be running for those to work.
Great review, thanks! :) Do you use the High Pass Filter or Noise Gate, or both? I'm wondering which to use to reduce or eliminate background noises like air conditioning or heating that turns on randomly. Thanks!
@@palestar828 they are software settings that will not pick up sounds past a certain decibel threshold. This is my basic understanding. So like a low blowing of air from a vent you could use one of those settings to not let the noise through. Cheers.
The VideoMic Go II is fantastic, almost as good as the VideoMic NTG. Indoors boomed just out of frame I can't tell a difference. IMO the old version v1 was trash. This one is great for $99 a no-brainer.
Rode videomic Go 2 and Sennheiser mke 400. Which of these two microphones is better to use for ASMR videos? Some bloggers claim that the Sennheiser mke 400 microphone has relatively strong 'self noise', is that true?
I am looking forward to a mic as an allround functiong device. I want to use it with PC, and DSLR. I guess I can use the Rode Videomic Go 2 with USB-C to USB-A for PC (or does it need to be USB-C to USB-C?) and use the 3,5 one for the DSLR? For using with PC which armstand should be used? I can't really decide which one to get actually.
I cant get high quality recording from RODE Reporter app (android) and the native recording app on my LG V30 does not recognize the mic when I am connected with USB.
I haven't bought this yet but I want to know if it could be powered by a USB-C battery pack in a situation where I need to hook it to my phone through the 3.5 jack while using the phone's USB-C input for video input (Accsoon M1 ) . Basically I want to live stream photoshoots directly from my camera to the internet with a good mic (No mic output from my camera when taking pictures) I can already do this using my Black Magic Video Assist 12G & HDMI transmitter but I have the Accsoon M1 now & it lets me do it with a smaller more portable setup by just connecting my phone to my camera but I'm looking for a mic that can connect to the phone through the 3.5 jack when the USB-C port is being used.
Not great. I do not know if my unit is broken but catch the sound road and every litle noise, I have to remove so much noise in post . Rode video micro is superior in everything for vloging sound rejection
Just the video I was looking for before buying the Go 2. Excellent video.

The Macbook Pro 14 built in mic sounds superb
Could you share the details of what gear / fittings you have used to connect the mic to the mic stand?
Bro how are you able to mount the videomic go 2 to the boom arm?

This is one of the best reviews for this Mic. I like it a lot.
BTW, did you edit your audio in post production?
Thanks, glad you liked it! It's a great small mic with awesome performance.
No edits were made to the audio aside from adjusting the base gain levels which were originally recorded at about -12db.
Very clear audio great detail on the review!
12:45 - BTW, you're supposed to loop the cable through the threads so when you accidentally tug on it it won't produce these impact sounds ;)
can i use 2 pieces of this mic connected directly to my PC using usb C and adjust it seperately on rode connect? thanks for your video, amazing!
Whats boom mount you're using?

I’d love to know the cable you are using there for the Rode.
When you used it with an iPhone did it sound as good as with the laptop connected?
Amazing and thank explaining features in detail. This video is very helpful.😊
Neat. Can you monitor live without the app?

What are those? New to this. Thanks

good review, I am from Sri Lanka and thank you for making this video

Just curious if you tried booming it, and how how good it is at a distance of 18-24" away from the source for dialogue indoors. Thanks in advance!

For using with PC which armstand should be used?
I can't really decide which one to get actually.
Can I use it with online meetings? I need to use earphones so that it don't caught the other people talking in the online meeting or is not needed?
when trying to connect to a computer from the usb-c do you use a usb-c, usb-a or 3.5mm jack to connect?
Which mic stand are you using?
What boom arm are you using
Can you please suggest an extension cable ??
I cant get high quality recording from RODE Reporter app (android) and the native recording app on my LG V30 does not recognize the mic when I am connected with USB.
Thanks for reviewing! Which slider are you using?
Hey! I'm using the Rhino Arc II. One of my favorites!
Will any deadcat other than ws-12 fit this mic? I cannot find ws-12 in stock anywhere :(

@@ndevvarma I have the Video Mic Go II now & the phone actually power the mic.
@onQQuincy are you happy with the mic?
wth, the internal macbook mic sounds better than the others.
13:20 - shock mount seems to not perform at all :(
The sound is very clear, not sure if it is RUclips but there was a hiss while you speak.
The MKE 400 is a better mic
How this mic works in a non acoustically prepared room?
Not great. I do not know if my unit is broken but catch the sound road and every litle noise, I have to remove so much noise in post . Rode video micro is superior in everything for vloging sound rejection
@@nealkenEven I'm having the same issue.
Too much talking, doesn't get to the point
