When I purchased this microphone I was expecting a high quality mic since the brand is well known. I consider this mic overhyped. I literally heard frying noise in my videos even with the dead cat on; and the mic is quite low. I purchased the mic because it didn't use battery and it was quite convenient.I have another microphone which is much cheaper and I get cleaner result.

Works great for starting out. Gets decent sound while filtering out some ambient noise. Much better than the stock mics on pretty much any cell phone. Good for video or audio projects that have a small budget.

This mic is great especially for the low price. I prefer to use this over my Rode VideoMic Pro because it’s smaller and you don’t have to power it by a battery and turn it on/off. Sound quality is actually really good for a passive mic as long as your camera preamps are ok. I’m using a Sony a7iii and it sounds great. Go to YouTube and view my channel CJ Rich to hear this mic in action. Make sure you lock the red cable in the grooves on the screw attachment to hold the mic steady otherwise it will bounce so bad it will make an audible sound rendering the audio useless.

I purchased this Rode Mic for my GoPro. I wanted the option to have clearer audio in my GoPro 7 black. With the help of the case and adapter, (the case allows for the GoPro to have a shoe mount for the mic, and the adapter allows the GoPro to read the mic) it is amazing!I have since used this mic on a few other cameras I have and I thoroughly enjoy having this small mic in my recording options!

The Rode VideoMicro Compact On-Camera Microphone is a must-have. When you mount it, be sure to put the little red cord in the notch of the round mounting thingy- that stabilizes the mic and keeps it from shaking around in its mount. The sound quality that you get from this thing versus the camera's built-in mic is just a world of difference. Even if you're just capturing ambient noise in a crowd while you're filming, that sound is just of a really high quality. This mic is also so small that I can pack it with my camera for trips and things.

Amazing Microphone! Picks up sounds I didn’t even think it would ( IN THE BEST WAY! ). Clean and crisp sound. Even with the wind blowing your audio is crisp :)

This is so small and I've already tested it once at a band event. The sound quality is beyond impressive. I highly recommend this product :)

Great external Mic at a reasonable price, Bought for use with a GoPro hero 7 black and a Sony a6500 and it interchanges great. Have been using for over a month now and audio is perfect for uploading to YouTube,
