    I paid $255. Best buy sells this mic for $300. I was skeptical of ordering due to the repetitive 1 star reviews. I noticed those reviews are from years ago and decided to try it out. No regrets mic has work has fine so far. This mic is top notch and worth buying.ConsFor some reason it looks scratched on the base but nothing to crazy.A lot of reviews said that the foam had an indent and mine did too hut that is because of the wiring that is in the packaging. I plan on adding a dead cat so not even worried and it also does not affect its performance.Extremely satisfied with my purchase. Frankly I was expecting the worst but glad that was not the case! Hope you all have the same experience.If anything I will update my review

    5.0 out of 5 stars Un micro semi-canon de qualité !
    Reviewed in France on September 11, 2018
    Au moment de mon achat j'hésitais entre le VideoMic Pro+ (celui-ci) et le VideoMic Pro basique, 100 euros moins cher. J'ai préféré le Pro+ pour plusieurs raisons :

    - Les différents tests sur la toile qui l'annonçaient bien meilleur en qualité audio que son prédécesseur. Et je confirme ce sentiment : même si le son de mon a7s est de base très bon, son micro intégré est omnidirectionnel. Avec le Rode,on gomme les bruits ambiants pour se concentrer sur ce qui se passe en face (et derrière également). C'est le micro parfait pour du vlogging, des vidéos face caméra où il sera à l'aise jusqu'à 3-4 mètres (au-delà il faut songer à un autre micro...), mais on peut aussi le percher : il vous rendra de très bons services !

    - Le fait que l'alimentation s'auto-gère : pas besoin d'allumer/éteindre le micro en même temps que la caméra. Ca paraît peu comme fonctionnalité mais c'est un gros, gros avantage je trouve !

    - La batterie propriétaire à Rode et non plus une pile 9V. Pas besoin d'investir des tonnes d'argent dans des piles, il y a une batterie rechargeable ! Et il y a même la possibilité de la remplacer par deux piles AA

    - La possibilité d'avoir du dual mono avec une piste à -10dB pour sécuriser ses pistes dans une moindre mesure s'il y a un pic d'intensité.

    - La légèreté : il est apparemment un peu plus imposant que le précédent modèle mais c'est un poids plume !

    - L'amovibilité du câble : là aussi c'est amélioré, le câble n'est plus soudé et on peut le remplacer. Beaucoup plus rassurant ! Le pas de vis est même fileté pour pouvoir visser si jamais votre câble le permet.

    - Le système de suspension, toujours irréprochable.

    - Les autres fonctions sont aussi intéressantes : 2 fréquences de coupure coupe-bas, rehaussement des aigus (utile lorsque vous utilisez une bonnette), et aussi le règlement du gain. Perso j'utilise les pré-amplis du micro qui sont meilleurs que ceux de ma caméra : j'ai le micro avec le gain réglé à +20dB et dans ma cam le niveau d'entrée du son est réglé au minimum (1 sur 27 pour l'a7s). Je pourrais probablement monter un peu plus pour éviter de devoir rehausser à la main tous les niveaux dans le logiciel de montage, mais de cette manière je minimise le rapport signal/bruit ! Et comme ça , aucun bruit de fond pénible.

    En résumé il est un peu cher à l'achat mais pour la qualité et les fonctionnalités fournies c'est très bon !
