Selected User Reviews For Rode VideoMic Pro+ Compact Directional On-Camera Shotgun Condenser Microphone
The mic jack is a 5mm.
My first impression of the VMP+ is that it has many great features, but there is one fatal flaw. You can tell that it has excessively high sensitivity immediately behind the microphone by looking at the polar pattern. In varying degrees, this problem can be found in all hypercardioids. A high sensitivity in the receiver picks up operator noise and reverberation from the room. The result is a lot of boominess in off-season It is much easier to hear sounds from behind a cardioid microphone than those from the side. This is why it is important to use cardioid microphones for close up work. The rear lobe isn't attached to the pictures taken with a camera.
I've never heard a mic sound so amazing and clean. Putting it into an additional recorder is not even necessary. The microphone can be connected directly to the camera via the camera's microphone input, if the camera has one. There's only one thing to keep in mind. Turn the volume of the microphone all the way down when using the camera's preamp system combined with the rode mic, and then select the 20+ setting on the camera. In this way, the audio is getting directly from the microphone, not from the camera, making for less hiss and cleaner audio.
There is nothing to be excited about with this mic. There is no point in paying for 299$ for a product that I do not need. Unfortunately, the Lithium batteries in my device are defective and I can't use them. Within this battery is a bent, sharp contact that does not allow it to be inserted. When I try harder to push the battery, the terminal begins to bend even more and it also starts scratching the battery and even penetrating through the I cannot believe that Rode's reputation has plummeted so low. Even Chinese mics don't have such issues. Moreover, there is such a loud hissing sound coming from this microphone. The Marshall's headphone mic I purchased for only 100 dollars has better sound quality than this piece of equipment for 300 dollars. This was an extremely disappointing purchase for me. Now that I'm not sure if I will use it for my YouTube videos, I'm not sure what I should do with it.
Since it had a rechargeable battery, this more expensive model was a better investment. As soon as it came out of the box, it worked great, 2 In the middle of the video, three of the three batteries died. As a result, I did not charge it, believing that maybe I was to blame. I bought a new battery ($50) and installed it. Once again, this is good for 2 It is shot three times and then I have to pay to ship it back to them for repair because it is a defect with the microphone. The microphone has been sitting for three months.
Because I am used to the mic's older brother (VMPRO), I did a lot of reading about this mic. Sure, there are some subtle changes in the audio profile, but I tend to like it a lot. However, the features are what I really appreciate. You can set it for different settings at once even after turning it off. It uses digital controls. You have to deal with the location of the output jack since the mount is great. The plug sticks out towards your face when you do that. This is why I mount mine off-camera (which is how I do it). There are more features than make up for this quirk, namely the removable cable, rechargeable battery, and features. My only wish would be to have the jack on the side so the lower body was a bit longer. I may add it in the next release. did listen to what I had to say about There is an attached switch on this model that is so simple to use. Unlike the nightmare that his older brother experienced.

My favorite microphone I have ever owned. I have bought a lot of microphones, and this one is the best. Its battery can be used in both ways because it works with your camera, it can be recharged, and even use batteries if necessary! To begin with, you have to adjust the settings first, but once you do, it's amazing! This is so smooth, there is practically no hissing (white noise) because it is so faint if there is. I barely hear it if I hear it, and nine out of ten it is just my voice or there is Videos on YouTube must have this feature! I have a YouTube channel that you can check out You can hear the audio yourself by visiting definitelyvivian on YouTube.
It didn't seem to be worth it to upgrade to the plus from the videos I watched. This is incorrect! Battery life is no longer an issue, and you don't have to worry about forgetting to turn on the mic. Now that switches are so nice, it's easier to use them. It is also great that there is a safety channel. Compared to the original pro, the rycote suspension is a night and day difference. As you can tell, the plus is SO much bigger and has the deadcat windscreen, that its completely worth upgrading, even if there is no increase in sound quality. I have only one complaint, and it's a little one but I think it's annoying because we're anal, since they laid the connection cable in the package haphazardly, resulting in a crease in the microphone cover for the rode. that they will sort things out over time, but something is not well thought out at this point.
