    Is this Rode VideoMicro worth the money?
    I love how compact it is. The fact that it needs no battery is amazing. The sound quality is good. I think it’s definitely worth the price. At $60 price point it’s a great buy to enhance your video quality.Now some things i don’t like. The connection cord is only compatible with cameras (dslr or Point and shoot) i was hoping i could get a connection cord that worked on my cellphone. But i didn’t. And i have to pay $15 for it. That ain’t happening.Probably the most critical complaint is the audio quality. I will say it improved my overall audio quite a bit but it didn’t do everything i thought it would. When using the on board mic on my devices it got pretty good audio (if i yelled) but there was this annoying hissing sound (white noise). I had hoped the RODE VideoMicro would eliminate this issue but it didn’t. It did reduce the sound a little but it’s still noticeable to me, especially when outside.This mic performs its best when doing a vlog style recording. When holding the mic at about arms length u get a great deep audio with a richness that the on board can’t provide. When doing an interview style video it performs well. This is best at about 2 to 3ft away from the mic. Anything further away it’s just an ok quality.Is it worth it? Yes! If you are like me looking to make content for YouTube or whatever and you want a better audio quality get this mic. I plan to upgrade when my budget increases but for now this RODE VideoMicro will do just fine.

    I bought this for my camera for better audio. I like to shoot Vlogs with my camera but the audio is not always the best. When you need to talk to the camera sometimes you need a directional microphone to make you sound clearer. Also not too big to weight you down.
