RodeVideoMic Me-L iPhone/iPad Microphone for Video,Black

Has worked well! At first there would be very invasive static noise about 15 seconds into any recording, but it was fixed by updating firmware on the device via the official Rode app. Expect to do this update before it starts working properly.

I am so disappointed with this mic! I have used many RODE products in the past without any issues. Here are the issues I am having with this mic:1. I have to remove my iPhone case to be able to use it, because it doesn’t fit otherwise.2. Constant crackling/static noises with and without the deadcat (wind guard).3. I downloaded the RODE app because I saw other reviewers saying you will have to download a software upgrade for this particular mic to get the crackling noises to go away. The app does not recognize this mic whatsoever, so I cannot fix the issue.4. The instruction manual just says “read and understand the instructions and safety guide completely before using the product,” however there are NO helpful instructions. Did they forget to provide an actual manual? I am so confused. The only other thing in my box was a silica packet and a sticker.They definitely underdelivered with this product. I have other equipment from this brand, and this mic just seems out of character for the brand’s quality. I never leave one star reviews, but I feel like I just paid a lot of money to have the sound quality be worse than my bare iPhone! I hope this helps someone else out there in case they are considering purchasing this product.

after a week of frustration I finally figured out how to operate this mic. The video sound was great, sadly I upgraded my phone a week later and now have no use for it.

helps audio, but remember to either use headphones or take out of phone for playback. did have to remove phone case to get a good connection with mic. mic is light and compact.

I dropped this when plugged into my phone, and it snapped. You have to be super careful with this product.

Gran facilidad para utilizarlo, construcción sólida, buen sonido. La única observación que puedo hacer a manera de sugerencia para cuando fabriquen los próximos vídeo-micros para iphone Lightning, es que la conexión que entra al único puerto del Iphone 12 en adelante, sea ligeramente más larga, pues la mayoría de las personas utilizan protectores de la carcaza del celular y, esos protectores impiden que entre la conexión lightning al celular.

Recording with this creates terrible audio and major crackling sounds. I’m past the return window. Don’t waste your money on this terrible design.

sounds great way better than the $20 ones and perfect for portable podcasting
