7RYMS Minbo Mini.
I brought it back in November 2021.
I bought the Videomic Go 2 a couple of weeks back and used on yesterdays video from 3 ft in an untreated room. Applied bass boost from iMovie if people want to listen.
Hi, can this mic be used for voiceover work?
Boya m1
rode nt USB and a video mic go first gen
I’m honestly loving this mic more than the Rode Videomic NTG that cost more than TWICE the price! It seem to have a more directional pick up and I even love it more than my Shure MV7!
I've been using this mic since about August of 2023, attached to my Canon camcorder. The difference in sound quality over the built-in mic is amazing! As my channel grows, I plan to use it in other ways, and it's nice to know this is an all-in-one mic for my needs. Great video!
Do you need an external power source for this mic or can you just plug it directly into your Canon Camcorder? I am currently using the VIXIA HF R800
@@DrakeVarsten No additional power source needed. It plugs right into the mic jack on the camcorder.
Fantastic video! Very thorough explanations! The audio on this mic is very crisp and clear.
You guys at Think Media are really inspiring. I've followed your channel for a long time, and I love how you guys are constantly evolving and improving. You practice what you preach and you give the best advice.
Hopefully one day I'll be brave enough to start my own channel with all the knowledge you guys have given me. Keep crushing it
Something to note. The USB-C will not work with a standard C to Lighting cable. You need one of their SC cables.
Thanks for the heads up! Just bought it and made sure to get the cable as well all thanks to your comment.
@@koolkat214 nice!!!!
@@koolkat214 where did you buy the cable? Just bought and want to make sure I can use for iPhone
I just got the mic and it's not working with my honor phone 🙃 what the hell I have to do with the cable 🙈😅 a starter video from rode would be nice, like first steps.
That would’ve been good to know before I bought another USB-C to lightning cable…
Mic thật sự đóng vai trò quan trọng trong thu âm. Cảm ơn bạn chia sẻ những điều rất đúng. Đặc biệt những nhà sáng tạo làm nội dung thuyết trình... Chúc bạn nhiều thành công
The Think Media team never fail!! 💯‼️
Appreciate ya!
Quick question this microphone isn’t great with traffic noises huh ?? Or is there a setting I need to be adding to cancel it ?
What cable extension would you need to boom this mic out of frame using an iPhone?
Such good videos, Omar. Keep up the good work.
I’m currently using the Shure MV88 on my iPhone 13 Pro Max! Yo Omar that ND Filter attachment on your iPhone for Moment lenses looks clean!
Don't cover the "interference tube holes" on the side of the mic if you clamp it (3:18)! They are there to make the mic pickup pattern more "sharp" and "delete" the sound waves from off axis.
The mic sounds REALLY good. wow!!!
I just picked one up and the first tests have been great. I'll be using it over the next week as the main mic on my camera rig to record trade show interviews.
Crazy I've been looking for this mic for a few days as I seen it on another video but didn't catch the name. Pull up TH-cam and seen this video! Instantly went and purchased it for my new TH-cam channel! Thanks for all the clear, well presented information!
Thanks for this video! I just ordered and excitedly waiting for it to arrive. Been using my old cheap microphone and it kept failing on me. This is a good choice because I can truly grow with it. I yet to own a camera that has audio jack, but probably one day I will. I like that this mic can be used as a table mic as well. Thank you so much. Truly needed this for my 10th video. I’m fed up of seeing my audio fail on me.
Amazing video! I went ahead and ordered the mic with the Manfrotto mini tripod, but just a heads up the standard thread wont work with the Rode Go ll. You will need a thread adapter for anyone wanting to use this setup and set it up straight out of the box!
Thanks for this Video. I bought one of these based off of the recommendation and it's worked wonders thus far.
It is a condenser mic which means it picks sound from all directions. This is a problem because when I first started I did not know the differences between a Condensor Mic and a dynamic mic and so I bought a condenser mic. You need a soundproof room to use a condenser! I later zeroed on anything dynamic and noise canceling. since I am not a sound professional and a starter, I lost many funds in buying equipment and I didn't know. I am using the Rode pro caster with the dbx 286s.
Brother what should I buy for making videos for yt ,but I am starter and have only one video and I do like kinda adding photos to make videos ,also less cash for me
@@loophole590 Buy sm7b and nuiman ndh30 headphones. Save ur money for the best or don't start. Buying cheap will cost you more having to replace. Go big or go home brother ✌️
@@jcap8391 I think they are expensive ,I don't even have a job .what do you expect from a student in third world country without a rich background .
@@loophole590 Save up your money. Or you're going to stay poor.
@@jcap8391 lol you mean save 40$ from 120$ per month job that we get here
For talking head videos would you recommend this over the smaller Rode videomicro; and why?
It looks like you live in Rhodes Ranch in the SouthWest part of Las Vegas. I built 2 microphones myself which are better than Neumann top of the line microphones. It cost me about $100 each. Having a degree in Electronics helped.
Wow... for $100 and it's both a 3.5mm and a USB mic... and Rode quality.... that's amazing!
What cable would I need to use this microphone with the iPhone 13?
*i love RODE products. I own Both the Rode Wireless Go and Go II along with The VideoMic Go II and All of them along with my Rode Lavalier Mic Work AMAZING!!. Defiantly worth the Money & Value , Also I wanted to know what cord you're using to make the VideoMic GO II a Boom Mic. I wouldn't mine doing this myself but none of the cords that come with the rode are long enough and I don't know what to get to make it longer, if you could give me some incite on this that would be Great*
🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have, so don’t just be a thinker be the doer because luck sticks with the doer and When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place.
Thanks for reading 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
What is the phone holder that you're using to have the mic sit on the phone???
Yeah, I want to know it, too
Rode wireless go 2, and proud to say we finally started our channel;) no more letting for tomorrow
Vegas you say? I'll be there in a month for DefCon. Looking forward to the heat /s
Mic sounds great for the price and seems quite versatile since there's no need for an external power source. Might pick it up.
Sound quality is excellent.
Just used this mic on my latest video and I'm absolutely loving it! Definitely an upgrade from my phones microphone!
Just ordered mine, really excited to get it for fioming vlogs with my Canon 90D.
Just ordered mine and used your link in the description to give you a head nod. This is what I was looking for. Great review thanks!!
I this mic sounds great for the price!! Plus being able to use with the computer is awesome
I am really curious as how these newer gen mics compare to some of the older higher-end ones. For example, I have the Rode Video Mic Pro+, which is a few years old now. Is the tech better, more advanced now that a less expensive mic like this one sounds the same or better than an older, higher-end mic.
Simple answer, no. Go with the pro+
That Pro + will outlast the newer Rode mics as all mics with built in batteries have a shelf life vs the one you have with external batteries. Also no one ever really wants to really talk about the distortion issues with the Rode Go II and Videomic NTG when exposed to non controlled environments vs the microphone you currently own which has none of these issues.
I have one of these mics. I’m extremely impressed for the price. It compares well with my Rode NTG and my expensive Audio Technica shot gun. It is a little hot so I can’t use it on my GH5s in most situations but it works a treat on my GH5 ii and my GH6 because I can set the gain to -18 db. I shoot live theatre, concerts and dance shows.
3:34 three to four inches from your mouth? My hand is 7 inches long ( I have small hands) Seems it's placed much farther
Thanks for the video. All things very well explained.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Mic looks awesome. Thanks for all the info.
I am using the Rode SmartLav+. Love it you can hear the difference from my first 3 or 4 videos before I got it were terrible. Then I did an unboxing with the first half using the cameras on-board Mic then switching over the the Rode SmartLav+ and all I can say is wow.
Great! Really needed this information. Thank you
You're so welcome!
Love your videos Omar.
Sounds CRISP
Its one of my favorites and I keep it in my camera bag.
Great review thanks..
it's really amazing, my go-to mic!
GREAT Video Sounds Great !!
Rode is on top of their game. That shock mount it’s brolic lol
i am starting my youtube channel so i decided to buy this michrophone i will start recording with my cellphone and a laptop
Definitely sounds good. Are you going to compare it to the Video mic go 1?
Where was this 2 months ago?! I bought a blue yeti nano….but I absolutely love Rode 😩😔 this yeti has given me nothing but issues on my stream.
Nice, here's my plan, I go busking with a small Cube Street 2 amp, and would like to record my sets, just with GoPro, and this mic in front of the amp to really pick up the actual sound people in the street are hearing, (a bit like micing a cab with a 57). I do have "proper" mics but that would mean interface/laptop in street etc, too much work...
Anyone tried this? would it work? Cheers!
So you DONT need the usb c cable to record the audio from your camera? Just the aux cable?
This is what I use on my ZVE10 🎙
I just bought the mic and arm clamp for my Sonyzv1, but where can I find the extra long cable to connect from my camera to the end of my boom arm? what kind of cable is called?
What do you guys recommend to deal with the noise of the fan of a Mac labtop when recording?
Can you show us how to set the mic up on a phone or tripod?
I got this one, and why is it that when I watch what I just filmed, there is no sound ? (I have the Sony zv-e10)
Omar, can you do a review of the RODE AI Micro interface for IOS?
Great review and showcasing as usual :)
Thanks for your video! Would you recommend a mic to connect to my phone and can record kid’s recital when I sit at the audience and the performer is on the stage? I assume this Go II won’t be powerful enough? TIA
Very helpful, thank you.
This one or the also rave-reviewed Comica VX20? I just can't decide, I'm stuck. Perhaps test those two against each other in a new vid?
Great Vid. Cheers.
Really helpful Video, defo look at this one.😀👍
This title really sounds like a threat.
‘You won’t live long enough to grow tired of it anyway’
Am i wrong in understanding that only TRS Audio input can go into iphone and not the USB-c to lightning as you said ? Thinking to purchase based on excellent recommendation - it is a small point but need to understand compatibility before diving into purchase - many thanks
your video sounds super clear. I really don't know how to configure this microphone, it sounds the same as the one on my phone, but I know it's due to my ignorance. Do you have any parameters that you can recommend in connect/central? I wish I sounded as cool you
Rode connect can’t be downloaded on my Mac . It keeps saying reopen it but it doesn’t open . Besides the rode mic go 2 I just bought . I connected it with my Sony ZV-E10 but no sound of recording at all . Im totally confused. Any leads would be much appreciated .
Does it work with iPHONE XI ??? How is gonna be the AUDIO OUTPUT when paired with an iPHONE ??
@ThinkMediaTV Omar, why does this mic not work when i plug it into my canon R50 using type-C? (Everything was bought brand new off the shelf and from day 1 i have not been able to able to connect the two). Any tips?
What stand is that for the boom set up?
I loved the video n i have planning to buy one
So if you buy a flash for your camera do you have to use one at a time? Or how does that work?
Was that just a regular Aux cable when using it on the boom arm?
Im a little confused if 3.5mm TRS cable is the same as an Aux cable.
thank you guys, it looks very interesting, does it work also with USB -C on a GoPro or a DJI action cam?
After applying the settings to the microphone, do the settings remain on the microphone?
Will this work as a boom mic for skits and mini movies? Also most new apple products use a lightning to usb-c for charging so the cable that came with the apple device should work just fine, at least that is what I gather from what you're saying
I feel that the more involved your production is, the more you'll want to invest in a higher quality mic.
@@JohnBradford14 very true but currently I’m on a budget of $0 dollars so I’m looking for something that I can use for awhile and then eventually upgrade to a higher quality mic once I have the funds.
The Who sold it to me said it would work with iPhone. However, only iPhone 15 since a lighting cable is useless.
Is anybody else getting feedback issues using this mic? I was surprised when I first plugged it in that anytime my phone was nearby it would feedback like an amplifier. Never had any mic do that.
Also you can’t use it on a phone without their proprietary cable, standard usb-c to lightning does not work.
Anybody ever find that without the -20db pad enabled the mic picks up a TON of background noise? More so than even my phantom powered condenser mic nt1a. It’s almost unusable without the pad.
Did I get a bad one?
Have you had any problems using this with the iPhone 15Pro Max? I get weird distortion even with the right cable.
Ok what accessories do I need to plug into my iPhone?
Whenever I join a live stream, the streamer can hear me clearly but I can't hear them through my android phone S23ultra speakers unless I connect a headphone through 3.5mm jack. Please advice, thank you 😊
I love this! Thank you for making this video. Love the shorts, too!
Appreciate you!
Sound good😊
How much editing in post was done to the audio? Would love a video on how you guys edit talking head audio in Final Cut!
is it good for filmmaking with an iphone?
Thanks
Big fan of the channel! I am looking at buying the Sony ZV-E10 and trying to toss up between a 16mm or 30mm lens to capture my classrooms lessons for students who are away. Ideally, the camera will be at the back of the classroom. However, I want a lens that will capture myself, the whiteboard with a nice crisp look, no blur or out of focus shots etc. Any advice? Thanks in advance.
I get too much hiss at 50% gain with a canon G7x MK3 and Videomic ago 2 but get no hiss with a Rode VideoMicro. I’m unable to continue with the Rode Videomic Go 2 and will stick with videomicro
*Hi Omar! This sounds really good! I just bought the DJI Wireless Mic system. What is the lens that you have on your smartphone at **0:49** in the video?*
what mini tripod is that? I can't clamp the rode mic to a tripod, the screw thread is big
Can I add a lapel to this? I’m in a garage gym set up, and want to walk around, but have this microphone..
Nvm the answer was at the end
I connect my mic to my computer and did video capture but the sound seems off. What am I doing wrong? It sounds a little hollow even with good mics? Rode Video Go II but capturing on the phone seems ok. I have nvdia aSUS Laptop
What cable do you need to connect to iMac? I want to use it to record voice overs. Thanks!
Good lock ❤️❤️🤟🤛🤟
Awesome sir
Great video 👍
I could only find the brand anker USB C to Lightning Cable on UK amazon, is that great as well?
is this an upgrade from the jacked in version of this mic? because my mic doesnt sound this good lol
