If it's only for vlogging I'd say it's not worth it. I will still use my VideoMicro 1 for travel, as it fits better in my backpack. Don't take me wrong, the GO II is fantastic and it has slightly better sound quality. Also, you don't need to put the input level as high as the VideoMicro so you get less noise. But overall the VideoMicro is a fantastic microphone and more than enough for that use case. What made me do the jump was the other use cases that I mention in the video and the ability of monitoring directly in the mic.
For vlogging I use the rode VideoMicro 1. I’m thinking of upgrading. Do you think it’s worth it? 🤔
