Hi Friends!
Mics dicussed:
Rode VideoMicro: geni.us/i0dA
Rode Videomic Pro: geni.us/zDOzxL
Rode Videomic Pro+: geni.us/kY01
bonus - if you are looking at the Pro+ then id seriously consider the new Rode Videomic NTG: geni.us/OvAD
This week I'm doing a quick test of 2 very popular Rode microphones. Ive used the Rode videomic Pro for a good few years and recently picked up the Rode VideoMicro as a second option and something smaller for vlogging. I've been so impressed with it that it got me thinking, is the videomicro good enough for most people? can you save a ton of money??
I'll let you decide for yourselves after listening and watching the video but if you don't require the extra features that the rode videomic pro provides then the rode video micro actually sounds great to me.
The rode videomicro is arguably the best mic for vlogging due to its size and this microphone comparison shows just how good it sounds next to the videomic pro. It's also a great budget microphone so won't break the bank if that is a consideration for you.
