It sounds like the VideoMicro 2 doesn’t do well in the wind. The indoor tests were pristine and sounded very similar to the Go 2. The OG Micro held up well with the rest and the Duo was pretty nice as well. Thanks for the video!!
Blast wish i had seen this before buying. I havent tested it yet work gets in the work. I have noticed there are two arrows on the mic! I’m assuming they are the limit for the red holder thing. Just a thought. Much get out today for a test.
Rode needed to do a update on the VideoMicro, especially as it's many clones are quite competitive, and this doesn't really cut it. Rode's new mic design definitely has issues with wind, which makes this pretty much a no-go for something meant to be portable. I personally went with a Deity D4 Mini because of the input jack, which makes it a great safety mic for a wireless system or something like that. The original Micro has less low-end, which helps with wind, even if it is at the expense of those frequencies.
Thank you for these very practical tests Tamara. The difference in the wind in this case is mainly caused by the max SPL of the different microphones. For the VideoMic GO II and the VideoMicro II this is 110 dB. In these wind situations that is too low and it gives distortion. For the VideoMicro (Original), the max SPL is 140 dB. For the MKE 200 and the Deity D4 Duo, the max SPL is 120 dB. In addition, the MKE 200 has excellent wind protection.
Thanks for that! The Micro II did so much worse than the GO II even with the same max SPL. Yeah the wind protection of the MKE 200 is brilliant, it has such a great design.
A little more explanation Tamara about the difference between the Rode GO II and Micro II in the wind. The max SPL indicates up to which sound pressure the microphone can function properly. Of course, the max SPL does not have a 1 to 1 relationship with the wind force, but it does give a good first indication of how the microphone (capsule) can react in the wind. How well the microphone (capsule) is protected against the wind is also very decisive. This also explains why the Rode GO II and Micro II don't react quite the same. What your wind test clearly shows is that for the Rode GO II and Micro II a max SPL of 110 dB in combination with the wind protection supplied by Rode in these wind conditions is not good enough to get sound of sufficient quality. I think that when you put the Rode GO II and the Micro II in a blimp that they function great provided the real sound pressure remains below 110 dB. For most people, working with a blimp in combination with these microphones will not be the intention.
I don't believe the wind problem could possibly have anything to do with max spl. I don't know what the cause is. I wonder if the windscreen is somehow defective - could some of the foam on the inside of the front be missing? Would it help to stuff a soft cloth into it?
@@skakdosmer Fortunately, we are free to believe what we want. Perhaps it is good that you also experiment in this matter yourself and share your findings here.
I bought a first generation VideoMicro a while ago and I was a bit annoyed with the holder being not very stiff. In one direction the microphone was hanging at a slight downwards angle until I got the idea to reverse the holder so now the mic is horizontal and bounces a bit less. I kept thinking "argh, should I maybe have bought the VideoMicro II instead, with it's nice sturdy-looking new holder?" but this video absolutely cured me, thanks! :)
Same issue with the Video Mic NTG, whats happening is the back of the mic / capsule is not sealed, so wind is getting in where the button / usb-c port is and that is what is over modulating the microphone. I contacted Rode about this and they really didn't seem to care. I do not recommend these new rode mics to anyone. The Rode NTG 5 is good, that's what I use for my "professional" mic, but it's an xlr and most would need an adapter. For the style of microphone you're showcasing I recommend the Sennheiser MKE 200 or the MKE 600, which you have shown both on your channel. Most people prefer the sound of the Rode because they are bass'ier (is that a word?🤣), but the Sennheiser are a higher quality sound IMO, you can add bass in post. If someone has a Sony camera I will recommend the Sony ECM-B10 (not the B1M). I can't believe that Rode missed this design flaw, especially since it was a problem with the videomic NTG I thought they would have fixed it with the subsequent releases with the same body style. The only way to fix this is to put gaffer tape over any openings on the back of the mics, so the usb-c port or the any buttons.
Thanks for the heads-up. When it’s windy again I’ll go out again and try that. Though the Micro II doesn’t have any open ports like the GO II as it only has the 3.5mm one unlike the GO II which has both 3.5mm and USB-C, so not sure where the wind can get through with the cable being plugged in.
Did you discover what was going on with the crackling/popping on the Rode VM II? It was really bad, I was thinking of purchasing it but not now. I couldn’t pick a favorite out of the others so would probably choose the cheapest. 💜😎💜
Yeah, someone mentioned that it was to do with the max SPL of the mics. The VM II and GO II are lower than the others so more wind will get by. I think the MKE 200 sounds the clearest, the Rode mics are bassier, but I do like the GO II. I tend to use the GO II and MKE 200 interchangeably.
@@TamaraGabrielUK I agree with you regarding the bassier Rode mics, which I like. The budget friendly D D4 Duo isn’t a bad mic either. I have the Comica BoomX-D1 wireless set and haven’t used it enough to offer an honest opinion. 💜😎💜
Your last mic video with the Go II and MKE 200 had me sold on the Go II. I found the MKE 200 renewed on Amazon for half the price, so that changed my mind back. I've been super happy with it. Especially on the ZV-E10. I'm surprised at the poor performance on the Videomicro II in the wind. I put on headphones so I could hear the subtle differences. It was not subtle. Great video as usual.
Yeah it’s a shame about the VM II. The MKE 200 is really good though, I think it’s the best one in wind conditions, and I still really like the GO II as well, it has a rich sound.
The extra wind noise is odd. Was it the same type of dead cat you used for both Rode mics? Apart from the wind, I much prefer the sound of the audio from both Rode mics. There's more bass and the sound is more pleasing, maybe more natural. Oh by the way, I've just ordered a DJI Osmo Action 3! First thing I'll be checking is the manufacturing date! :)
Yeah the deadcat as are the same but I switch them to check as well and the results were the same. I do like the deeper tones that Rode mics give, even though it’s something that can be added in post it’s nice to have already if that’s what you like. Hope you get a good Action 3!
Big negativ point is that it just got 110db spl instead of 140db on the first gen. That reflect in heavy distortion in windy conditions and also useless for recording loud car audio or drums Also voltage output is too high for many cameras which also lead to distortion.
Hey there, we'd suggest if anyones having trouble getting the output settings right to reach out to our Service Team. The voltage output should not be a problem with correctly set levels.
is there a more stable red thingy for the old rode? the bouncy red thingy causes noises in the old one. Also the senn worked better than all of them, in my opinion.
i dunno about the micro ii but i know that the videomic go ii has a wide rubber band that most people throw away but is intended to be placed over the usb-c slot if it is not being used, in order to prevent wind choppiness. given the new micro ii only connects via 3.5mm this is unlikely to be the problem but just wondering if there was a rubber band in the micro ii box to slide over an equivalent slot to reduce wind. dunno, just an idea. thanks for the vids always helpful.
@@TamaraGabrielUK ooops. the wind seal (aka rubber band) comes with the official rode ws12 deadcat. i thought i was going crazy as i couldn’t see it listed on the rode website but i knew that i have one already. And i only now realised it comes with the deadcat not the microphone itself. sorry for confusion.
Wow, that wind noise is indeed terminal! But the new model certainly sounds better than the old indoors, and radically better than the Sennheiser. The amount of wind outdoors didn't look that bad - breezy it seemed rather than windy.
I am wondering what the point of on camera mics are now that I am building a new rig. I'm really not sure about these things. It would be nice to see a use case for things like that.
Vlogging is a big use case. It’s easy to just mount the mic on camera whilst you’re holding it and talking. It’s also a good way to capture ambient audio whilst recording b-roll.
I just tried my own VideoMicro ii against my VideoMicro and my VideoMic Go ii, all with their respective furry windscreens on and mounted on my Canon Eos 90D. There's not really any wind here right now, so instead I blew quite vigorously on each microphone from the front with my mouth while listening through my Sony MDR-7506 headphones. And I was able to create a lot of "wind" noise, but there was hardly any audible difference between the microphones, and I wasn't able to get the popping sound that you experienced. The VideoMicro ii seems to be the most sensitive of the three, so could your particular camera perhaps be overloaded by too loud audio from the microphone when the wind is high? Or could your windscreen or your microphone be faulty? I'm only guessing. The windscreen from the Go ii should fit the VideoMicro ii, does that make a difference? Is there any difference if you use a different cable?
Hi Tamara - great video! Looking at this, we're pretty sure the furry is not covering all of the holes of the mic properly. On your thumbnail, it looks as though the VideoMicro II is too far back in the shockmount, so the furry can't make a good seal over the last row of holes. The sound you are getting sounds like wind hitting the capsule, which the furry should prevent. Try sliding the mic forward (so the red ring that grips is it right at the rear of the mic), and then slide the furry on fully so it seals on the mic after the last row of holes. As a comparison, the line tube and the furry of the VideoMicro II is exactly the same as the line tube and furry of the VideoMic GO II, which I know you have used successfully in the wind, so it should work the same. We hope that helps!
Thanks for the info. When I did the second test I was sure the furry was covering all the holes but I’ll happily try again when it’s windy, to be 100% sure.
I’ll stick with the original but to be honest I think outside, the Nikon Z30 (which I have ) internal mics with the smallrig dead cat on actually sounds as good and better in some circumstances when set to auto and ‘voice’.
@@TamaraGabrielUK yes yours was one of the videos I watched before deciding to get it. I absolutely love it. I just got the Viltrox 13mm F1.4 for it too, fabulous lens. The mics though are fantastic.
I have a rode micro - if I was going to purchase again the MKE 200 or even the 400 would be my choice BUT THEN AGAIN - The Olympus LS P5 would actually be my choice - so small and so versatile - if you’ve never seen the Olympus it’s well worth reviewing
Awesome, I still have first first generation and I haven't used it a lot to be honest. Particularly since I picked up the ECM-B1M (which some hate, and a lot love) as well as the DJI Mic. The wind is terrible on the second GO and Micro II. Gotta love the new size though! What do you use this on usually? Phone only? EDIT: Just went over the comparisons again. Damn, the Micro II sounds really quite trash in comparison to the original.
With these little mics, I tend to use them when I want to travel light with my A7s III or I use them with my GoPro. But honestly, I doubt I'll use the Micro II and just stick with either the MKE 200 or GO II. If I'm not trying to save space in my bag, then I use the Sennheiser MKE 400.
The original rode micro is by far the best in terms of tonal characteristics , externally it appear to perform better as well. Don’t like the tone of the Sennheiser to many high Mids for my ears. Great video.
I’m not sure if it’s defective as in any other situation it sounds fine. But it would be interesting to try another unit in high wind conditions again.
My favourites for mirrorless cameras are the Sennheiser MKE 400 or the Rode VideoMic GO II. Otherwise for action cameras I use the Sennheiser MKE 200 as it’s small and compact.
@@TamaraGabrielUK Thank you for reply... 🙂 I'll be buying nikon z30 in 3 4 days... and want a mic for that..... but confused.... I can stretch my budget to $200 .... I know I can buy MKE 200 and Rode videomic go 2 in that budget...... which one would be a good choice..?? also it should look good on nikon z30 as a setup...
I really like your videos. You don’t start with the usual (and very annoying) “Hey what’s up guys?” full of faux enthusiasm, or attempts to show how witty you are (the wit of those who do invariable doesn’t correspond with their own opinion of themselves). Your videos seem conversational making the listener feel that you are talking to them and not at them, yet at the same time well presented, informative and not in the least formulaic, although I am sure that you plan them very well while still seeming natural and spontaneous. Well done. I didn’t want to spend too much on a mic, I don’t need a high end mic, so in the end I bought the original Rode Video Micro which, as you demonstrate, although not the best on test easily holds it’s own with the others and at less than €45 as an Amazon warehouse deal (in perfect condition) was a great price for a good microphone.
