Focused Sound Capture: The shotgun design of this microphone is excellent at isolating the sound you want to capture while minimizing background noise. My videos now have a clean and clear audio quality that enhances the overall experience.
Premium Sound Quality: Describing the sound from this microphone as "liquid gold" is no exaggeration. The richness and clarity are astounding, adding a professional edge to my productions.
Easy Integration: Mounting and connecting the VideoMic Pro+ to my camera was a breeze. It worked seamlessly, allowing me to focus on creating great content.
Robust Build: The build quality of the microphone is solid, giving me the confidence that it will last through constant use in various shooting environments.
Battery Performance: With the rechargeable battery, I never have to worry about unexpected power loss during critical shooting moments.
Value for Money: Considering the drastic improvement in audio quality, this microphone offers great value for its price. It's an investment that pays off by taking your videos to the next level.
Summary: If you're looking to elevate your video production with exceptional sound, the Rode VideoMic Pro+ is the way to go. From vloggers to filmmakers, this microphone is a versatile tool that delivers professional-grade audio. It's a game-changer that turns ordinary videos into extraordinary content. Highly recommended!
It does suffer a bit when trying to record a marching band from the stands, as it also picks up the crowd in between. Still it does manage to do OK in the situation.
Cons
For 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

super durable and easy to use and so much control on the microphone.
i use this on my A7iii and dear god the quality is just good
i have my manual audio settings set to 17 depending on the scenario im shooting but 17 or a little bit lower like 15 is good enough.
other than that i would definitely recommend if your a vlogger and you have a camera man this is for you and if you are documentary filmmaker or anything else this is also for you. its for everyone u just need to understand how to use it and when to use it.
READ the instruction flyer (as best you can, it's tiny and multi-language) so you understand all the great features.. it is worth the time.
Top reviews from other countries
- 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 !
