Hey JustNKD, The grip I was using in that little clip was a makeshift one I put together using my old Gopro flexi-clamp. Hahah...It was really janky, I wouldn't recommend it buddy.
I bought one in spite of the fact I didn’t need it and I had all the others. This may be the best they’ve ever made. I’ve very happy. It’s enormously versatile.
This was such a great video and I subscribed right away. But I have to say I'm shocked you don't have more than 2.03k subs! It's only a matter of time for you man! 💪
Awesome comparison! Thanks for all the legwork on this. 💕 In case anyone else is scratching their head-I think the caption in the test segment for the Videomic PRO with “Hi Pass” filter on is incorrect… 😉
The VideoMic Go II sounds great! It has more low end and has less ambient noise out of the box than the older version. The VideoMic Pro is still better than the two though. Thanks for this video.
The Videomic Go in my opinion sounds the best but it was not insolated correctly and gets radio interference. The 2 has a very flat sound and has a strange polar pattern. The 2 also picks up a wind noise even with the Rode Deadcat and looses a lot of function if you are using it with a camera. At this point in the game I would avoid both mics. Just a few points I wanted to make. Great video!
I replaced the original VideoMic Go with the smaller VideoMicro. Solved the abhorrent RF noise issue of the original Go. I have no idea how he got such clear sounding recordings with the original Go in this video without adding shielding or recording in a faraday cage.
I just got me the original Videomic Go on sale for 50 bucks yesterday.. I think for that price its a damn good mic to use with my filming work! even though the GO 2 is a lil more rich in tone I love the clarity of the original Go a lil better when standing a bit away from the mic
Hey great video! I recently picked up a videomic pro plus for recording live music. How do you think the Go 2 would work in a loud environment like that? Would be ideal to have a secondary mic. Rode seems to make such nice things for the price point.
You're at the mercy of the sound in the venue unfortunately. Ideally it would be better to get a feed of the music directly from the mixing desk and maybe blend the live sound your getting from the Rode mic in post. Otherwise the sound is just going to be bouncing around all over the place. You'll have to make sure your sound is not clipping too, that will avoid distortion. Hope this helps.
@@MisterHenry thanks for the response! I actually recorded a friends band with the Pro Plus and it came out super decent. Of course a bit muddy with audience noise and such. I’m going to have to look into trying to plug directly into the mixing board and what it entails. Thanks again for the reply, much appreciated.
Hello. Do you think this mic would be good to use with my iPhone 12Pro Max to record stand up comedy sets? I've been trying to find something to get better audio than the iPhone mic provides. The problem I been having is all rooms acoustics are different. I'm looking for something that will help to make videos sound clearer and less echoey. Also will this pick up crowd laughter well too if the camera is set up in the back center of the room or will it cancel out laughter from the sides and only pick up straight down the middle. Sorry for the long question, you just see to know what you're talking about and figured you might know. Appreciated if you answer.
Hi Mariotonticomedy, If it was me, I’d use a wireless Lav mic and attach it to my shirt. Placing the mic as close to you as possible is the best way to get the quality you’re after. You’ll find that the crowd laughter will spill into the Lav mic too to some degree. When sound engineers record live shows, they would probably have a few mics placed at the back of the venue and blend the mix together. Hope this help. 👍
Hi Daniel! Can i use this mic go 2 for wedding events (high music places) my friends use mic go 1 for those type of events. What do you think? (i bought yesterday mic go 2.) Thanks in advance!
Yes, absolutely. It really depends how loud the background ambiance is. Closer to the source you are the better the audio will be. Just keep an eye on your audio levels.
@@MisterHenry owwww I see I thought you really did that for a reason. My videomic go when mounted to my canon m50 has 'tik tik tik' sound. Maybe I'll try that clamp or buy the 11 inches arm mount that may also serve as a boom mount mic.
now the difference in price is 53 to 110 do you think is still worth the extra price of the go 2 over the go? it costs twice of the previous version...
If you want to capture the sound system inside of a Car, a RØDE Stereo VideoMic Pro with Dual Half InchCapsules in Fixed X/Y would be a better option. It’ll capture the realistic ambient audio inside the car. Here’s the link to check it out: amzn.to/3cdTxjC
The Videomic go 2 is definitely more versatile than the yeti. So if you’re planning to use it as a camera mic as well as for podcasting the Rode might be a good option for you. However because it’s more expensive, the overall build quality of the Yeti is better in that regard. It really depends what you’re gonna use these mics for. Hope this helps. 👍
Hi Daniel I got a question for you. So I'm making a short movie and I was wondering is this mic good for filmmaking, mainly in closed spaces and internal environment. Thank you, awesome video as usual!
Thanks for the comment my friend. In an ideal world I would always recommend hiring or networking with a sound guy. He will make sure you get the best possible audio for your short movie. If that’s not an option, get yourself external recorder. Doesn’t have to be super expensive, just something that can take XLR inputs and can record in a high bit rate. If you cant afford that, then this little rode mic will do the trick. It won’t be perfect, but it is a very versatile shotgun mic that you can use for a lot of different scenarios. Maybe get a long cable for it too, so you can boom it closer to your talent. Hope this helps buddy. Hope the filming goes well. 👍
I just got VideoMic GO II and when plugged into S22 5G via USB-C cable, I lose phone's as an audio output. Is there a way to change it as under 'Media output' tab, I can see only Headset. Has anyone come across this issue?
I think this is done on purpose to avoid feedback from the microphone when using it with the phone? I could be wrong though as I’ve not had this issue.
Love the video. Just received my Video Mic Go II yesterday. Can’t wait to use it for a podcast I’m starting
Thanks so much. I didn't realise how versatile this mic was at first until it was in my hands to test out.
The quality of this video is amazing, you deserve more subscribers!
Ah thank you so much KyleKeller. Too kind. 🙌🏻
Hey! At 0:45 what is that extended grip that you are using called or where can I get it myself? Thanks 👊🏼
Hey JustNKD, The grip I was using in that little clip was a makeshift one I put together using my old Gopro flexi-clamp. Hahah...It was really janky, I wouldn't recommend it buddy.
@@MisterHenry awesome. Thanks for the response bro. Anything like that you know of that you’d recommend
Highly appreciated this video. Relatively concise and good production value. The comparisons are exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks so much for your comment man. Glad this video helped. 🙌🏻

Totally agree with you there. So much value for such a low price point.

Instructive & cool, I discover audio recording and hardware, thank you!
I just bought the lark m2 recently but now I want this too 😩😩
Good video, Daniel. Thanks, man.
does it make sense to pay extra for videomic go 2, for the first amateur films?
Yes. You get way more versatility with the Rode Go 2. So it’s more bang for your buck.

@@MisterHenry Thank you for your answer!🤗
For Android and Windows : need a special cable or a regular type c would work? Thank you!
Hi JD, a standard type C cable will work fine for Windows and Android users. 👌
@@MisterHenry thanks much! Have a good weekend
6:10 why video mic go clipped?
Unfortunately the mic clip on my old Rode Go broke.
@@MisterHenry owwww I see I thought you really did that for a reason. My videomic go when mounted to my canon m50 has 'tik tik tik' sound. Maybe I'll try that clamp or buy the 11 inches arm mount that may also serve as a boom mount mic.
That’s strange it makes that noise. Is it a bad connection or is it definitely the mic clip?
Thank you for the amazing video. Just wondering what lav mic are you using?
Thanks for watching YHRwork. I'm using this: th-cam.com/video/B7H7ybP3nnA/w-d-xo.html
now the difference in price is 53 to 110 do you think is still worth the extra price of the go 2 over the go? it costs twice of the previous version...
I’d say yes. It’s still more versatile that the Rode Go. The Go 2 is a half decent usb mic too.. Plus better build quality.
Hello Daniel, do you think it will work to record the car audio system?
If you want to capture the sound system inside of a Car, a RØDE Stereo VideoMic Pro with Dual Half InchCapsules in Fixed X/Y would be a better option. It’ll capture the realistic ambient audio inside the car. Here’s the link to check it out: amzn.to/3cdTxjC
in terms of pure specs if the videomic go ii better than the blue yeti?
The Videomic go 2 is definitely more versatile than the yeti. So if you’re planning to use it as a camera mic as well as for podcasting the Rode might be a good option for you. However because it’s more expensive, the overall build quality of the Yeti is better in that regard. It really depends what you’re gonna use these mics for. Hope this helps. 👍
