Product description
Designed to improve the audio quality of your videos, the compact Video Micro microphone captures every sound with pristine clarity. It incorporates a high-quality cardioid condenser microphone capsule for great quality audio recordings when used with a wide range of cameras. A directional microphone, the Video Micro reduces distracting peripheral sounds and focusses on the audio in front of the camera. Its pickup is more forgiving than RØDE's other on-camera microphones providing a more natural sound when recording indoors. Perfect for capturing incredible audio to accompany inspiring vision. The microphone body is made from aluminum, giving it a high level of RF rejection, and is finished in RØDE's high-grade ceramic anti-glare black coating. Included with the Video Micro is a camera shoe mount featuring a Rycote Lyre shock mount. Featuring a suspension structure composed of a hard-wearing thermoplastic, it is far more effective at minimizing unwanted vibrations, handling and cable-borne noise than traditional elastic suspensions. Virtually indestructible, the Rycote Lyre will never sag, snap, wear out or require rethreading to maintain its effectiveness. Also included is the WS9 synthetic furry wind shield with foam inner cell, designed for use in outdoor scenarios where wind and environmental noise can inhibit recordings. Optionally available is the RØDE SC7, a TRS to TRRS cable that allows the Video Micro to be used with smartphones, to capture crystal clear, directional sound for video and video applications such as Periscope.

Works well with my JOBY tripod and just needed an adapter to use with my iPhone.
Better than other inexpensive lav mics I’ve bought in the past.
Highly recommend this!
- The overall cosmetics and quality of materials used on this product is great and it doesn't feel cheap or "plasticky" at all. The nice curled cable is quite nice too!
- The "Dead Cat" does a pretty good job of preventing wind noise in the captured audio. I've honestly used this camera in very windy scenarios in mountains and close to coastal areas and have had no trouble with the audio. Keep in mind, even though this microphone cannot be changed in terms of any setting, it actually works really well with the settings of your own camera. Like for my Rebel T6i, since I usually talk with a lower voice adjusting the volume manually to be higher made my voice sounded like I was speaking louder by nature but still with that good audio quality without adding any white noise.
- The shock mount provided is also really good in making sure bumps and thumping sounds aren't captured on your audio, but of course to a certain extent. Also, the quality of the shock mount is quite durable. I've had certain moments when I've bumped the mic into something else and the shock mount flexes accordingly and absorbs the impact pretty well.
- This microphone relies on your camera's battery so in my opinion this is a MAJOR PLUS as I'd rather worry about lesser batteries just based on the number of batteries and cable that I already have.
Overall, I've been really happy with this product and look forward to many more Rode products in the future!
Sound quality
Very sensitive mic. I have a clock on the wall in my living room and you can clearly hear the ticking of the clock when we record videos. It truly is amazing how well this little mic picks up sound! As this is an Omni directional mic, it will pick up sounds all around the camera. To help reduce this a little bit, I put some electrical tape around the rear mics and it's been perfect for my applications, which are geared a little more to vlog or conversation, as opposed to picking up ambient sounds.
Build quality
Excellent so far. It lives in my wandrd camera cube and I don't baby it in any way. Appears to be quality material for the application.
Weight
Very light weight, especially if you want to use a gimbal (if space permits).
My only gripe is that the deadcat can be difficult to attach to the mic. The inner lip of the dead cat is recessed quite a ways, so it can be quite the challenge to get it to catch onto the mic attachment point. But this is a small issue when compared to all of the positives with the mic.
