When comparing sound quality indoors, I think you should have had the mics at the same distance from the sound source. The rode is clearly at a distance whilst your desktop set up is in front of you.🤔
Thank you! I been looking through videos and people keep testing the mic with little to no ambient sound and having it pointed directly at the intended source so couldn't tell how much of the surrounding sound is filtered out, this video actually helps demonstrate that.
Hi, I noticed a tabla set in the background, so you might be the perfect person to ask this - stumbled on this video while looking for iPhone compatible usb mics to take on travel, and I specifically need it to record tabla practice when in India, maybe even some performance if it comes along. I will travel light and do not plan to carry even the usual mobile setup ("proper" xls mics, babyface interface and laptop). Just a single usb mic, smartphone and a power bank, all pocketable or almost. I will not be miking directly above the tablas, not carrying stands besides a small plasticky table tripod, and I might need to pick up more than a single tabla set, all with a single mic. So probably condenser with a wide enough pattern. Apogee HypeMic seems like an interesting ultralight and portable option, but no clue about what is there in the USB mic space. Shure mv88+ is even more portable and cheaper, but sounds thinner at least on vocals that tests are easy to find for.
I was super impressed with the VideoMic GO II - it sounds almost as good as the VideoMic NTG at a third of the price and no pesky battery to boot. The USB-C is great for Zoom or Teams even on the newer iPhones and iPads that come with USB-C. The software has a few settings like high pass filter and HF booster to make my bass-y voice sound a bit better. At $99 this is a total steal.
Thank you for the video. Love the tablas at the back

This mic does not need usb power. Just connect the 3.5mm cable and it's ready.
Got to be honest, these mics sounded utter gash
