### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you know what you can get out of it...
*by R***. on 17 May 2015*

If you own a DSLR and like to do run and gun filming this product has to be in your bag. Do keep in mind that at the end of the day it's a directional microphone mounted on your camera and such a devise has inherent limitations. If you're doing an interview, it cannot match up to the low noise clarity of a lavalier but if you have one of these mikes fixed on your camera and your subject is close enough, you'll definitely pick up good audio given that your ambiance noise is not too high. Otherwise with proper manual leveling, you can pick up good general ambiance sounds with your footage. Point-wise, he advantages are the following1. You don't have to go through syncing your audio in post2. It's light3. The connecting cord is good quality4. The Rycote designed mount is just super.5. A camera mounted directional mike has inherent limits so this price makes good senseOne problem, the RODE sheath does not prevent nasty wind noises if you're recording outdoors even if wind conditions are slight. For such conditions, you have to take care. I'd definitely buy the RODE Video Mic Go DEAD CAT ( I wish they'd call it by some other name). Sadly at the moment, I don't see it selling in India.In short, it's a must have and an amazing buy if you know what you can get out of it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ good but sound cause improper sometime

hi everyone, this is "get install" community on Youtube with more than 95000k subs, you can check my work theirbuy this product on big billion-day Sale, buy for my m50 and as this is a directional mic this shouldn't have to capture wind noise, etc, still, this having problem was somewhere this works fine some positions this do no giving proper noise cancellationgood1.directional2.look and feel while having vlogging camera3.better and easy to use for beginnersbad1. over expensive

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ JUST GO FOR IT!
*by A***S on 19 November 2018*

I watched so many youtube videos before ordering this mic and let me tell you the most common issue described in them was the hissing/clicking noise, let me tell you that has got nothing to do with the mic but with the pre-amp on your camera, when i tried recording through this mic to an external recorder there was no hiss/click noise whatsoever, also the noise cancellation on this one is pretty awesome especially when you are in moderately noisy environment, this is so good that it gives you near studio quality recording quality for the price. next is the manufacturer, Rode, they are awesome! i faced an issue regarding the tightening ring which was jammed when i received the product, but on me contacting Rode via e-mail & Twitter, they responded promptly suggesting a fix and it worked! they also sent me the number and address for their service centre near my location, which i did not have to visit as my issue was fixed. i highly recommend this microphone and i currently use it for recording directly into my DSLR and my phones where it works like a charm. One last piece of advise, since this item is non returnable on amazon, try buying it from an offline store near you as in case of any problem you will just be oscillating between amazon customer service and seller, who in my case was pathetic, other than that, Just go For it!!!
