Using a dslr you would reduce the on board sound leveller and set pro to +20. On board reduced to -12.This would provide clear audio for voice and kill more background noise.
Dont go by this video, the one thing this video messes up in is it fails to use the Rode's superior amp and in all the samples here the in camera pre amp is turned up to 15-16... If you are going to use Sony's garbage preamp then there is no reason to use a good mic at all.
Honestly... just him showing as the Micro.. it seems better lolol. But I feel I wouldn't use the Micro in noisy areas. I would use it I would just the Pro instead.
@@Nonskiller Just use the wind sock. it sounds fantastic! lots of high frequency data from the Micro that the Pro seemed to be missing! I don't regret choosing the micro at all! I've got $700 gift cert. money on Amazon and I have nothing to spend it on! 'definitely not going to bother with the Pro. It's too big, too heavy, too unbalanced, and I prefer the sound quality of the micro!!
Great video! I have a new Sony A6500 and I would like to record better audio. I had decided to get the VideoMic Pro but after watching this video... I've just bought the VideoMicro for a few reasons: small size, no battery needed, great audio quality on the A6300/A6500, price (and dead-cat is included!). This video helped me a lot. THANK YOU so much!!
The videomic pro is a must for all canon cameras because the on board pre-amp is terrible and the Rode amp is a lifesaver. The pre-amp in the sony cameras are amazing and I've found the micro to sound much better than my pro, and it leaves a much smaller footprint. The micro on my 70D sounds like absolutely garbage in any setting haha. The pro has its advantages being more of a shotgun mic picking up only whats in front of it while the micro is more of an omni directional pattern but it creates a much more lifelike sound, similar to Rodes stereo videomic. Great review, I came here from @Rode Microphones twitter share!
The Bens Garage alot of people dont use onboard preamps for the same reason they dont use onboard mics! So, I wondet how the micro would perform on a Canon with something like a saramonic preamp? Good reviews and it sells for around $25.
I used the video micro for some challenging interviews near a beach with a ton of wind and was shocked at the quality of the sound . From some online reviews the mic seemed a bit tinny but from my experience I found it to be quite good quality. You do need to use the fuzzy cat windscreen because the micro will pickup a ton of wind noise. I also shot some small music groups on the street and the sound was tremendous. I have been editing for over 30 years so I have heard all kinds of sound and for the money this little mic is a winner in my opinion. It is rugged and the suspension system Lyre is pretty rugged as well. The mic is entirely metal body and the connection to the mic and camera is very sturdy. I will buy another one if I can find one on sale.
Just the video I was looking for. Thanks a million. I couldn't figure out why my audio was still coming out low with the Micro, internal audio at 16, even in quiet place. Apparently I need to take the wind sleeve off and only use it when there's loud external noise. Thanks again! I subbed for your excellent work.
Great tests.Thank you. Overall I liked the Rode Micro. The quality of the micro was really great and well balanced, But the filtering on the Pro was SO very nice. Im going for the micro and hope post production in logic pro can make the necessary adjustments w/out too much trouble.
I believe the Micro is designed to have the included furry windshield always on to neutralize the mic's sensitivity from the upper to mid range. It does sound incredible, though, for such a short cardiod mic powered only via the 3.5mm jack.
I'm amazed how much better the micro sounds in this testing situation. Maybe it's just my ears or this configuration, but I'm really liking the less expensive model. Thanks.
@brandon lonvelin well the entire point of the videomic PRO is to isolate sound when you're around a lot of people; it's a shotgun mic. whereas the video MICRO is more of an omni directional microphone; taking sound from all sides.
The openings on the side are actually for the purpose of noise cancellation for off-axis sounds, not to pick up surround sound. You can see (and hear) this more clearly in larger shotgun microphones.
Hey hi I just bought Sony A6000 and I have rode Micro. Is there any way I can use the mic? There is no jack for the microphone in the camera. Thank you
This test was a great decision maker for me. I have started using my NEX 7 instead of my bulky DSLRs, but never tried a mike on my Nex7, I already have the Rode pro, but the Micro seems like the better fit for a micro camera. Thanks....
This was really helpful. Thanks for making the effort. Mostly prefer the pro - but the one with the water background was pretty loud and didn't filter out the water well when you spoke. Makes me wonder what it would be like to film in a room of people but focusing on 1. Maybe best to just get a lav for that.
I like both microphones. Can you use these with IPad Pro 10? Which mount to use? and Do you have any suggestions for tripod and video head? I was looking at Manfrotto...Help! Thanks In Advance...
Thanks for a very clear and to the point comparison. I think both cameras are top in the specific environment I want to film. I read that there is a $ 150 difference in price. For concerts the Rode Video Mic Pro and for clearer, and a less dull sound the Micro seemed to be more suitable. great explanation. Greetings from Germany
Thanks for this video! Great comparisons as I have the Micro version. But how do you listen to the incoming sound while recording video since there is only an output jack for the mic and no input jack for headphones? Also have same camera. Thanks in advance!
Well there is not a way unless you get another piece of equipment. I always edit my audio in post anyway. Have never had an issue unless there is wind. Then I make sure I use the wind filter
The +20db is the best choice to get the best sound possible. Lower the levels in-camera, and set the mic on +20 db, it will create a better sound than using 0db + high in-camera levels.
Great review! I've seen a lot of microphones reviews. I bought a Comica mic, it's cheap and higher quality. I think you can compare them. Good luck, guy.
wish you included also Rode Micro with the wind shield. judging by other reviews the difference is quite big and it sounds pretty good if it's used. wonder also if a foam thing (whatever it is called :) could make a difference.
I thought the micro had too much noise going on from the stream and was to loud and pitchy The pro on other hand was good isolating the noise and the aircraft with the hi pass filter Good comparison
The Rode mics obviously sound better than the onboard, but you could use an equalizer in your editing software to make the cheaper mic sound more like the more expensive and vice versa and save a bunch of money. The micro mic does sound clearer (more information above 10k) the more expensive one sounds fuller (you could boost 160-200hz) a little eq on the cheap one and you’d get comparable results to the more expensive, assuming you prefer the more expensive. .
A lapel wireless system might have been better outdoors. Any comparison indoors between an omnidirectional mic (Sony on camera) vs. an omnidirectional mic (Rode) will always favor the omnidirectional. And why no wind screen on the Micro?
hey! great video thank you! just fyi, it's my understanding that the "ports" on the side of the micro are actually for rejecting a little side noise, just a little, compared to a full shotgun mic's many "ports" to make the mic super directional, and reject side and rear noise! I love the micro.
Wow, that new Rode VIDEO MICRO sounds awesome in every scenario, although at 6:10 the lack of wind sock resulted in much more wind noise than the Rode VideoMic Pro. I'm just assuming that the included windsock handles that fine.
I liked the sound of the water using the Pro at 4:47 and the Micro at 5:02. IMO the Micro sounded closer to the real sound, but I'd like to hear it with the dead cat attached.
Currently using a zoom h4n pro on my Nikon 5600. I’m thinking about the micro because of the simplicity. The sound quality wasn’t good as the pro but It sounded fine to me. I would be using it mostly for bat sound during weddings. I watched this in my phone with no headphones
For TheRykerDane and anyone else here I have the Sony a6500 I love the video quality and size of the rig. Now when it comes to the microphone I would prefer the micro for the size. does the pro sound that much better to get that size ? I thought they sounded the same from the video definitely better than the on board microphones. any help is appreciated!
You really need to redo this test with the Rode videoMicro. No one in their right mind would run the preamp that hot, in fact you should always start at 0 or 1/8th or 1/4 gains. I used the Rode VideoMicro with my A6000 and A7SII, it's fantastic, use windscreen, and push your gain down to 1/4 or 1/8th. The passive mic is be design, run a little hot. If you really want better quality, I used a Tascam DR-05, and used the input there and set limits on that, and allow that dedicated system compress and boost as needed. You can set that to half, and it won't clip or come out too tinny with sudden bursts or loud environment. You can even in system set and EQ pass.
micro 50$, pro 180$... most of the time you don't have earphones on so the quality difference is not really noticeable. the price is and it's awesome. I ordered the videomic go for my 70D and I really hope that it is not too quiet and still good
i want to use the micro over the vmp because of how small and compact it is.. but it's not as good as the vmp mic. I've tried both on my t4i and the micro is just not the right fit for that camera.
I was looking at the Sony 630 today and was told in shop it could only take Sony's small external mic looking at the port on side it only had two micro USB ports CAN i ask how did you attach your rode Mic as it looks like it has a round connector and unless I missed it there is nowhere to plug it in?
@@MhdAkmall well I mean that if your camera does not have the jack input, then you can't use that camera. time to buy a camera that will take this mic. sorry
Is there any way to get the Micro to not cut off all of the low end frequencies?.. Micro, Seems to thin out the audio and roll off all the low end.. The Videomic Pro sounds much more full, flat, and natural with the low end frequencies still intact.... I like the Pro's sound.... and Thanks!
Is it possible to go out from my audio interface TRS balanced.. with a long run.. directly into a 3.5 mm a7iii mic input jack without losing the balance?
@@TheRykerDane oh I figured out the answer... It is no. But I got a beachtek preamp with XLR in and 3.5 mm route which does the trick. It's good for capturing an audio backup for in-camera just in case... Studio setting that is.
I own both. Technically you'd think the pro would sound better. Turn on the mic +20 and turn down the camera mic right... for some reason I always get better audio from the Mico. "Here they come to snuff the rooster, aww yeah, hey yeah"
The pro, like a lot of mics and a lot of rode mics as far as I can hear, is muffled and bloated sounding. People confuse that with sounding rich or full, but it's just muffled with a heavy low frequency emphasis and low resolution. The reason the micro sounds better is that you can hear more texture and detail. There is a cost to be paid in sibilance and potentially irritating high frequencies, but sound is never perfect, not even to ears lol. I'm stoked that this doesn't sound like most of the other Rode mics.
I personally prefer the Micro. Just overall, the Micro seems to sound clearer to me.
yep its a great mic for sure for many different scenario
yeah thats what i was thinking and its cheaper aswell
Agreed, I would have appreciated if the author included it.
Using a dslr you would reduce the on board sound leveller and set pro to +20. On board reduced to -12.This would provide clear audio for voice and kill more background noise.
Agree
i kinda prefer the Rode MICRO over the PRO? Why is it better sounding? Or is it just me?
Thanks Ryker Dane!!!
you are welcome, they both sound really good, but if on a budget the micro is the way to go
TheRykerDane thk u for the info!!

Can't help myself, every comparison I watched, I really liked the Micro over the Pro. Thanks for sharing though.
yep it does beat it out. unless you are far away from camera
The videomic pro is a must for all canon cameras because the on board pre-amp is terrible and the Rode amp is a lifesaver.

That's awesome and good info to remember, Thanks for watching and I hope the video gave some insight. thanks!
The Bens Garage alot of people dont use onboard preamps for the same reason they dont use onboard mics! So, I wondet how the micro would perform on a Canon with something like a saramonic preamp? Good reviews and it sells for around $25.
The Bens Garage great info!! What do you find are the best pre amp settings on your Sony with the micro?
I have Rode Videomic stereo, for ambience sound is better But for record vocal music is bad , while instrument over

The Micro punches above its weight class. Great test!
The Micro sounded good! Great job! This video was really well done!
This video is the most useful reviewing of these microphone, thank you so much.

MICRO KILLING IT!!!
yep it does!
I believe the Micro is designed to have the included furry windshield always on to neutralize the mic's sensitivity from the upper to mid range. It does sound incredible, though, for such a short cardiod mic powered only via the 3.5mm jack.
yep, and sorry i didn't include the windshield in the tests because I shoot with this indoors a lot and you don't need it on
Great review. You've helped me make the right decision.
Micro seems to have a brighter, crispier sound which I like. A bit of eq to bring up the low end, and that would sound pretty sweet.
I'm amazed how much better the micro sounds in this testing situation. Maybe it's just my ears or this configuration, but I'm really liking the less expensive model. Thanks.
Microphone RODE VideoMicro works on a laptop?
Same the micro sounds the best, and it's not ginormous like the video mic pro. It's very tiny and compact and inexpensive
yep it works very well!
@brandon lonvelin well the entire point of the videomic PRO is to isolate sound when you're around a lot of people; it's a shotgun mic.

Very productive test. Very well informed. The most successful test videos I've seen on the internet. Thanks from Turkey .
Thanks, you are very welcome!
Very good and thorough explanation of both mic's.
thanks!
This test was a great decision maker for me. I have started using my NEX 7 instead of my bulky DSLRs, but never tried a mike on my Nex7, I already have the Rode pro, but the Micro seems like the better fit for a micro camera. Thanks....
Which one would you prefer for concerts in a big hall?
I would use the videomic pro for sure

Yep you can get a clamp mount to go on the ipad, (for tripod) then also on to clamp to the ipad for the hotshoe for the mic
Thank you!
Does the micro eat up the camera’s battery life (since it doesn’t have built in battery power)? Thanks for the great video!
Ps: I use Sony a6300 as well. 😊

It would be nice to hear the Video Micro with the windscreen especially in the last test for that mic when you were outside with some minimal wind.
That was so helpful. Thank you for all those examples. The micro seems to be the winner in all cases. The rooster was the best!
yep it is a good one, and yes the Rooster! Ha ha
Im curious why didnt you us ethe wind filter with the videomicro? the mic GO had one just thought it would have evened out the odds..
wish you included also Rode Micro with the wind shield. judging by other reviews the difference is quite big and it sounds pretty good if it's used. wonder also if a foam thing (whatever it is called :) could make a difference.
yep sorry about that. Not sure why I didn't at the time of the shoot
I am another who wished you had included the wind shield that comes with the Micro
I thought the micro had too much noise going on from the stream and was to loud and pitchy

yep its a great one, I hardly use my pro anymore except for specific things
Wow, that new Rode VIDEO MICRO sounds awesome in every scenario, although at 6:10 the lack of wind sock resulted in much more wind noise than the Rode VideoMic Pro. I'm just assuming that the included windsock handles that fine.
yep it does. I should have included it to test. But it does clear up any wind noise for sure
What would be preferred for just outdoors wind on A6500? Thanks
depends on the distance the person is. If far then use the shotgun mic
Great video. Surprised the micro sounds better, could this be because the pro had a windshield?
not sure, the micro has a filter too and it sounds great!
Hey man! Can you tell me what bracket you used in that video for that camera and microphone please?
look up xgrip on amazon
This was so helpful. Thanks very much.
you are welcome!
Great video, very helpful! Thank you!
you got it!
Sir, do u have amazon link for the stablizer? looks so nice. its also a kind of steady cam?
yep look up steady cam mount on amazon
first of all, thank you. i have my eyes on the go version (not pro). however, after watching this i aslo consider the micro version.
yes the micro is a great one to use
Nice comparison!
Thanks for sharing! :)
you are welcome
I liked the sound of the water using the Pro at 4:47 and the Micro at 5:02. IMO the Micro sounded closer to the real sound, but I'd like to hear it with the dead cat attached.
yep the micro sounds really good even without the dead cat. the micro pretty much wins out
Great comparison, thanks for that. The micro sounds the clearest.
will go for the micro ! small but nice
never underestimate the built in mics on the sony cameras. the clearest audio in the entire video came from the internal mics
yep they are good too, except for outside on windy days
Great review!
Thanks, hope it helped!
Rode micro rec 15. that sound was more clear. awesome
Thank you
very very useful !!!! thanks you so much
Currently using a zoom h4n pro on my Nikon 5600. I’m thinking about the micro because of the simplicity. The sound quality wasn’t good as the pro but It sounded fine to me. I would be using it mostly for bat sound during weddings. I watched this in my phone with no headphones
Excellent review sir!
thanks
i actually liked the mini for the talking, but the water running sounds a bit better on the biggie pro.
it sounded unrealistic to me. too much bass. sounded like a legitimate river, when in actuality it was a very modest stream.
Thanks for review 👍
Liked the Micro Rode the best. Thanks for sharing!

I think thats a good one too
hey hows it going? i have a prob when im in m mode i cant change the levels do i have to shoot in movie mode?
yes, need to shoot in movie mode, but also you can adjust in post edit too
The Micro seemed to be doing great until the last shot?? It seems to pick up better in higher decibel environments. I liked the Micro best.
i want to use the micro over the vmp because of how small and compact it is.. but it's not as good as the vmp mic. I've tried both on my t4i and the micro is just not the right fit for that camera.
yep, plus every scenario has a need too. thanks for watching!
i can use it for sony a6000 too, right ?
yes as long as it has a mic input
great video I think I like the mini best.
