Max Yuryev As usual great work.... 👍
Wow! Surprising results! I might as well save some money and go for the Micro instead of the Videomic original. Thanks
Was this placed above you?? Have you done a video on all the different mic placement, both boom and lav??
To be honest, the Deadcats are kind of expensive for what they are, probably because of Rode's branding. I recommend getting a $5 one from Ebay or Amazon, which works just as well. Be sure to check the dimensions before you buy though. Also: 10:59 -> Don't forget to "Always Rig to the Right!"
Dude holding the iPhone X at 15:25
Test starts at 11:00.
Thank you. I respect Max but it's just too much preamble.
@@crybabyteamo 12:46 is the actual start time
Hitbox unKnown ty
Thank you man. Commenters never fail to disappoint xD
@@Hitbox_unKnownlegend
they all sound pretty similar, but their names sound even more similar
They look even similarAR
I agree!! i was confused with their names lol
He should’ve done the test outside with extra noise to probably then notice the difference
No they dont
I found a videomic pro at a yard sale for 10$, I don't think they knew what it was
Omg
Soooo lucky!
Probably just thought it was a “toy” of some sort
I'll give you $8 since you've used it since buying it 🤣. I just picked up a canon m50 for $200. Yard sales, offer up and fb marketplace! Now that christmas is coming you'll see people selling stuff for dirt cheap.
Epic
Great comparison Max! I have the VideoMic Pro and I was thinking about getting the VideoMicro (for my compact vlogging setup). Now I know I’m getting one for sure!
nice comparison bro, and still usefull in this early 2020. need to compare it all once again with rode NTG. thanks
Sorry this video is a bit long. When I do short versions of these people end up asking my to give more opinions. Start at 10:20 for the sound comparisons!
Max Yuryev thanks. I always like the longer format video. But i know alot of people don't. Maybe just mention it during the intro of the video that way you don't loose viewers or people trying to watch on lunch break etc. Great video though.
Max , can you do a review on the pixel MC-50 and compare it with the takstar SGC-598 ?
I prefer a more accurate review and more watch time than some short information lacking reviews. You literally helped me get off the fence and order the videomicro.
Max Yuryev i puted same links for every microphone
Its actually 11:00 your welcome
Great video bro. I wish there was some timestamps though so I could skip to parts like the audio comparisons.
KARL ROCK!
AHA FOUND YOU HERE
a wild karl appears
Amazing detailed comparison 👍👏👏👏 thank you
big big big big big big shout out for comparing them with the unified VOLUME/GAIN! because if something is louder we think that its better when actually it is not. so thanks for that man!
I can't thank you enough for that sharp, detailed and pro comparasion, this is super helful in choosing the right mic.
I think the video was great, it was very complete dealing the pros and cons in a way beginners would understand. Its not easy to find videos that have the sounds tests as you provided. Only downside the decibel chart didn't seem to match its location to the mics behind, so it was hard for me to follow as i am very new to the product names and specs. overall loved it!
What a showdown Max! Thank you for comparing all of these Mics, it can be confusing with how similar they all seem. Also now I want that diffused light in the background! Lolol!
I just bought the $59 one, and I'm so glad it was this high on your list :)
My mom gave me the the same mic for Christmas and the manfroto trypod and phone holder which works !!!👍🏾
facts...bought it for it size factor
I really like the direction you're channel has been going lately. Great great ideas and content. Keep it up. I have stopped watching other channels after they get bland or soft trying not to hurt manufacturers feelings etc. Keep advocating for us consumers. Thanks max
Can't thank you enough for this video, Max! I've been shopping for a new on-cam mic for a while for my Lumix G7. Now really to choose between the VideoMicro and the Takstar you are using.
Great review Max. You covered all the bases. It made my decision even easier. Long video but packed with info = worth watching the whole thing.
I’ve had the Rode Video Micro for Vlogging for years and I love it!! I have been using my VideoMic (dinosaur) for video on my boom pole for a couple weeks now and really love it. Thanks for this video!!
Does anyone know if he had the mics directly plugged into his camera or plugged into some sort of mixer for the tests?
Thank u so much Max, u did settle my concern on a order I had made on amazon, sorry I didn't watch your video before so I could buy the mic through your link. I really appreciate this video and the time spent putting all together. Great job
I agree, the rode video mic was the most pleasant! It was the third one. I liked it on the boom pole and on top of the camera. Thank you for this helpful video.
New baby, holidays and STILL dropping excellent videos. Get some rest, Max!
Does it make a difference to sound quality when recording with just the dslr mic vs using an external mic ( e.g. RODE) ?
Please guide...
Thank you for this comparison - looking for a backup mic for travelling, either the VideoMicro or the VideoMic GO, and this sold me on the Micro!
For someone like myself who films mostly all motorsports like motocross, go karting, cars, it would be awesome to hear these guys in action with some engines roaring to see how they handle it.
Excellent - thanks for taking the time to go through all those! Just the intel I needed. Cheers.
Our audio really needs focusing on now. We had some great cameras for our sailing vlogs but the audio is letting it down. So appreciate this review, it's helped steer us in the right direction!
What a great video! This makes me feel even better about purchasing the Røde VideoMicro last year!
I used to work at this tech company where we recorded internal stuff like external speakers and important company wide announcements. When I got there they had the Rode VideoMic mounted on a camcorder and that was the kit I was working with. I was not impressed with the Røde to say the least. I actually ended up using my personal Zoom h4n after a few times and to me it just sounded sooooooo much better. Mind you I'm actually a newbie when it comes to audio stuff. I had the H4n because I was a gear junkie that wanted to start doing more video stuff but never really did.
Thanks Max, that was the ultimate Rode comparison. Well done sir.
Great vivid comparison Max , but what I want to know is which mic will do a better job recording live music in a quite or noisy environment? Thanks
How the heck do you have time to do this with your new awesome addition to your family?? Loving all the vids Max! Keep 'me coming!
Great video; incredibly informative! I just purchased a new camera and was looking into these mics to record video with, so I can't thank you enough.
worth noting that with the VideoMicro you can snap the red cable into the notches in the cold-shoe's tightening wheel. I haven't used the other mic's but wonder if that's the case with them too and would solve your problem of having a loose cable getting in the way of the EVF?
I didn't see the link for the comparison video. I was able to search for this microphone and your comparison came up..great!!!
It's a great video. However, how could remove the hissing sound from the video? I used with Canon 700D and the recorded sounds are very bad with white noise. Thanks!
this video is just pure gold. so much value in 20 minutes. thanks a ton!
Max, my kid plays in a band and I've been using an ax-53 with a rode micro. Although it works well I had to shoot a performance from one side approx 20' away 30 degrees. I'm unsure if a shotgun style microphone was ideal, l could tell it was selective depending on who I was filming. Volume set to 50% manual. Any ideas?
Fantastic comparison. Thanks so much for all the detailed analysis!
That's all very nice, but can you recommend a camera mic for recording a band, let's say at a pub gig? Because it's really hard to find an inexpensive mic that's good, I don't include the boya mm1 and Rode VideoMic etc. They ALL buzz out/muddy/blur the sound even when adjusting the onboard clipping or using the auto clipping mode. It's prbably my camera? And no I don't want to buy a $300+ mic as I'm shasing a Shure SM57 (which I could probably use?). Great video, thanks.
Do you recommend the video micro or pro for a Canon 80d? It will mostly be sitting on top of the camera with no one moving the camera.
You can actually reverse the mount on the old Videomic (the big one with the battery) so that the camera shoe mount lines up with the back of the mic, so it doesn't stick out beyond the tail end.
What volume level would you recommend on the a6500 with the video micro? (From 0 - 15)
You just earned a subscriber great video and good job at explaining everything usually the videos are like 12 minutes long and they don’t explain everything like you. keep up the great work best one yet to explain everything I need to know 👍
Which one would you recommend for a beginner just getting into filmmaking?
EXCELLENT video with rigorous methodology and useful result data. Waaaaay better than the usual hot air of CZcams. Thank you, sir, for taking audio recording *seriously* although that is obvious from the quality of your own output. Subbed.
As always Max, nobody does videos like you.I couldn't be happier, I have the little micro but never knew it was that good. Cheers
Thank you so much for this video! I learned that I need to just have my microphone closer - instead of throwing money at my audio problem. You saved me tons of money, because the mic I already film with is quite decent, and just isn't fully utilized!
what settings are best for Rode Videomic pro plus (using a sony a7sii camera)
Great review! Thanks for great comparison I now know which one to get to improve my channel audio. Keep up the good work!
Think I'm gonna go with the micro for my camcorder and my iPhone. The included windscreen is a nice bonus, as I will be taking it hiking. From one Max to another.. Thank you! Much appreciated
How would you compare a VideoMicro coupled with a Pre-amp like a Saramonic SmartRig+ . I'm either going to be shooting primarily with a Canon 200d or a smartphone.
Max would you suggest a zoom h1 or a ride video mic or would you pair them together?
So the question now is which is better between takstar and the compact? And if you had any expierience how about the azden compared to those two. Would really like to see an ultimate video mic video
So glad I found this! I need to get a mic right away!!! Great Video!
Can i use them as microphones for my computer or do i need to find a different company for microphones?
Great stuff, man. I was wondering which mic is best to record my voice (1 arm to 4 feet distance) and eliminate/reduce background to ambient noise? Camera I use is the Panasonic G9.
I own a Canon t6i but have only used it for photography, no video yet. I plan to move into video in the coming weeks and am trying to decide on the best microphone with a reasonable price, the $299 would be about my max. Is the amp in the t6i really that awful to where I would need the boost that the Rode Pros offer. I’d love to save a little money with the mic if possible and spend it elsewhere like on lighting etc. I would be filming in a bedroom converted into a studio, a large open living room, and possibly some outside shots. Thanks for any help you can offer
Great comparison! Loved the points mentioned in the video!
Hey Max ! Great comparaison ! i also saw the Takstar vs Rode comp. video, and i will give it a try to replace my videomic !
I was wondering what is your setup for holding the microphone the way you do ?
I found some tripods and boompoles, but what i'm missing is the "clamp" to attach the tripod and the pole together. Can you help me out ?
Keep up the good work !
great video...although your link to Micro is incorrect i went ahead and purchased. however mine delivered with a RED shock mount. does anyone know how/where I can purchase with a BLACK shock mount and BLACK cord? most important is the BLACK shock mount. thanks
Which microphone would you recommend for indoor in a presentation room from 12-15ft away?
This is a great video! Thank you for sharing. I feel like I prefer the takstar you are using. Could you kindly respond with your honest opinion between the takstar and the video mic. Which one of the two would you choose in terms of sound quality.
Where did u get ur info that videomic pro & pro+ were indeed some videomicro inside with a fur & electronics added ? Let's ask Rode.
Max would you turn up on a job and use this Takstar mic?
Great video ! Keep up the great work Max !
My camera is with my Friend at the moment, but she’s returning it soon, and I’m going to use my Canon 700D and the sound is hard to hear so ya, I still learning, I’m going on a trip in June and idk sound I bring my second lenses that is meant for far view or just bring the normal distance view? And I neve buy a microphone for camera before so idk how your supposed to install it
The one review that answered my questions!!
Thank you!!
Very thorough analysis. Thank you, Max.
Thanks for the review Max, Just ordered the Rode Micro from your link.
Excellent video! Can you tell me where I can find the boom pole that you have in the video? Thank you.
I currently have the iPhone 8 Plus what should i go for if i buy the dji Osmo Mobile and decide to vlog i think it might eliminate the highest two because i can’t adjust the settings so he video mic go looks pretty good
With the Video Mic GO, on a lot of cameras you have to change the input from auto to manual to cancel out that background noise. Also that noise can be from the wire
Which microphone do you recomend for filming cars?
can i use the video micro with a PC and a Logitech c920 for skype and other video conference apps?
Actually, Rode has updated the mount for the original shotgun mic. I have the original one with the mount hold together by 4 rubbers rings on each side. They break SUPER easily, can make squzzey sound when they get old.
I gotme one of them. Years ago. Shes been faith. But time to get a younger model. Pro+ seems to be best for live.
Looking for my first mic for my DSLR and i was torn between the baby micro and the Go... This set my choice straight! Thanks!
Thanks for the review. I'm surprised at how good the little Micro is for the price!
Great demo, thanks! What's your boom/boom adapter setup?
Can you show us the best settings and the right kind of memory card to use with the zoom h1?
Thanks for all the info Max I'm looking to buy one of these I'm going to be using it on my Canon 6D
I'm going to be using it outside in a voting situation it sounds like you liked video micro compact you think that's the best one for my use thanks
Great video , thank you !!! Don't know if you had the chance to test the sennheiser mke400 , the size of it and the quality seem's interesting
Just picked up the rode video mic. Thank you for the in depth video over these mics thanks.
Very details, professional and useful reviews, thanks a lot!
12 minutes into your video I decided which two mics I would buy. You did an amazing job with these reviews. I and my subscribers thank you.
great review ! one question ...do you think plus is worth it when I don't have the pro version ? looking to buy either pro or proplus. right now I can get Pro for 180 brand new vs 300 for pro plus. looking to do some vlogs. ty
Thanks a lot for this lovely comparison. I saw lot of videos but you cleared all my doubts.
I have a s20 and insta360 1 r to film. I
Have rode lav+ and the rode wireless go, whats the next mic I should buy for a shotgun style mic? Best quality? Will it be compatible? I feel like I need the $300 microphone will that plugin to my S20 and instant 360 1 r
I have a sony a6300 and a sony a7 II and it seems like their audio from camera is slightly better than using the old school rode mic. am I doing something wrong ? I used to use it on a canon 60d and it was fine but with the sonys is so much more background noise and the voice doesn't sound as clear
Great comparison! Thanks Max!
Thanks for changing my decision from buying VideoMic Pro+ Plus to VideoMicro
I came back to this video because I noticed my Rode VideoMic Go was introducing static and hiss in my videos and wanted to see what mic is should get to replace it. I thought maybe it just quit on me. Nice (and sad) to know that it's not just my mic...
Great review! I got the $59 one and so far I like it a lot! Keep the great content coming! :)
Thanks a lot! This video really helped me to choose the best option for my project.
Hi Max, We have the IDOLCAM VlogStar V2 shotgun/Lavalier microphone in one, can we send you one for the next mic review you are doing?
what is your view about azden mics? Coz i am seeing more of rode mics views and when i see the review for rode in amazon its slightly opposite.
What mic would be best to pick up the audio of the camera holder and the person in front on the camera
Thanks for this one Max!
Surprised you say you don't recommend the original Video mic at the beginning it seem much better than the go and overall best for voice fidelity. Can you tell me why you don't recommend it over the Go. Great in depth vid by the way.
Exactly. Price/performance wise this even would be my pick of the bunch 😊
From what I hear, a6500 on board mic vs rode video micro (put on top of camera from distance) almost no difference, no improvement. So is it worth getting it for a6500?
And what about rode video micro vs the takstar mic? since they both cheap
