Jesus really?

I love the way you structure, edit, and film your reviews: easy for even a newbie / non-techie like me to understand. Clear, logical, comprehensive. Thanks so much!

I found that really helpful, thank you. I wish more reviews were as well thought out and practical as this. Thanks for the extra effort you put into it.

Great comparison. I've been using the videomic pro for a couple of years now and absolutely love it. And the mic uses little power because those 9v batteries last a very very long time! Love your vids man 👍🏽

I watched this before picking up my GO. The quality of your videos, and amount of work you put into your videos is awesome.

Wow, outstanding test, Caleb. Love the effort and production value you're pouring into these videos.

This was so well done. I’ve been getting by with the VideoMic Go, and while I love the lack of batteries of having to use a power switch, the sound is really thin and harsh. This video confirmed a lot of what I’ve been experiencing.

Very nice, thanks! Please do the equivalent video with lav mics ;) I use the Mic j 044 plugged into a zoom h1. I'm wondering what would be more important to upgrade, the recorder, or the lav mic? Not sure if the H1 even has a pre amp, and which zoom would be best to get? Thanks!

OMG Thais was so helpful. Thank you for your review. I have the canon EOS70D and I’ve just got the video mic GO and Istill hear the white/hissing noise like I was recording with the intern micro of the camera. I guess I should get the pro now...

Huge. Your tests, review and explanations were thorough, partially scientific, and excellent. This made it possible and pleasurable to sit through a 15 minute video. So many DSLR and consumer tech reviewers and influencers talk fast and have great presence, but they lack an understanding of tech specs and tech expertise. So often I catch them using big words, but unaware of the meaning or the scientific principles involved. Your depiction and description of cardioid and super cardioid were accurate and not to tech or over the top for the consumer and prosumer users. So many of the other KZreadrs out there unaware, and trying to learn the basics and are hearing a ton of misinformation or versions of what's right and wrong, repeating it, and sounding like fools. Kudos to you. I will be subscribing and tuning-in in 2017.

this is a top quality video. You answered all my questions and more. It was really fun to watch you and also educational too. I learnt a lot more than what i was coming to this video for. Thanks for a quality upload. loved it.

That is easily one of the best educational videos ever. Thank you

Great stuff Caleb! Always informative and helpful. Looking forward to your budget LED video. 👍👊

I love his on-screen personality and his calm, monotone delivery. Great work man!

Love that you included the pre-amp example, plus how you did this entire video. So fricken nice to have 'analytic' included with 'real examples'

Amazing test. I'm glad you did the 1st SPL test with a 1k tone for consistency. Hands down as far as dynamic range, the Rode Videomic Pro won the battle. Also, the equalizing possibilities are plentiful with the videomic pro. Thank you for sharing, just ordered the videomic pro while typing this lol.

@dslrvideoshooter

Thanks HW2H! Was hoping it all made sense!

The tl;dr version is the GO will give you better sound quality than the internal microphone, but if you want noise reduction you have to go PRO. You won't regret it though, you get a lot for the price, and the microphone is very versatile (it comes with the standard boom/mic stand mount as well)

This was great. Would love it if you made one on the Stereo Mics 🎤

Really good review. I wish I would have seen a video like this after having experimented with all kinds of mics and recording devices before figuring out what I have now. Fortunately, there were a lot of resources to read but it's nice when someone like you takes the time to sum it up into a concise video with proof.

This was a great comparison video. Liked that the micro was very front and center in this video and not overlooked as it's the cheapest of the bunch. I currently own the micro and think at it's price point, it's wonderful.

I think you could have memorized Humpty Dumpty.

This is how mic reviews should be. As a sound engineer, I sincerely approve! 😁👏❤️

Fantastic video comparing all of these products. So much value packed in 15 minutes, thanks!

First Off Amazing Review! Best I've seen. Nice cinematic shots too. I have the Røde VideoMicro and thought it sounded great on my camera. It's great for the price. I think if your and indie filmmaker just wanted a mic on your camera the Micro is your friend. In this test I found the Pro had way to much bass. The original VideoMic didn't sound too bad. All in all for convenience, price, and quality go for the micro. :)

@dslrvideoshooter

Thank you Nate! Yeah, damn good that Micro is... And yes, I fine myself taming the Pro with some EQ work in post most of the time I use it. The high pass option helps, but almost takes too much out.

Great test as always Caleb! I use the Video Mic Pro/G7 combo (learned the G7 from your paid tutorial on Vimeo) and will upgrade to an external pre soon. Ironically, it’s used in my recording studio where I have $2000 mic pres and expensive mics:-) But, I’m lazy and like recording audio into the camera.

thorough AF! What an awesome review, heard all I needed to hear. Thanks for that, cheers mate!

Hi, Curtis. Good to see you´re here, man ! You also make damn good reviews !

I think one should remember thats all of the mics can easily be improved in postproduction by eq, compression and noise suppression. When recording the same voice in the same environment you could even work with templates. So don´t despair when you can only afford the cheap ones.

Compiling my budget interview kit and this review of all 4 of these was very good. Last years similar video was only the go and the pro. Subscribed. Great stuff. Thank you sir.

You are on a roll with very useful content, with exceptional delivery! Please keep it up!

Do you know if a Nikon D3200 would be better off with a preamp or direct connection? Great vid :)

Very interesting review but you've missed something on the Videomic! This too has the boost features of the Videomic Pro but the switch isn't as accessible! If you have a look in the battery compartment you'll find there is a switch with settings for 0dB, -10dB and -20dB. You need something like a toothpick to flick them into each position, but it's simple enough when you see it. OK, this isn't as convenient as the Videomic Pro but it's definitely there, It would be useful if you could re-run your tests on the Videomic to see what results you can achieve using these options and whether they come near to those you achieved with the Videomic Pro.

Thank you for this! I have 2 Rode Pro's and have always wondered if I was spent too much and could get away with one of the cheaper versions. I must say, ramping up the pro's to +20 and pulling back on the levels in the camera really give it a robust sound, more depth. I know now I made the right choice by spending the extra money on the Rode Pro's. Keep up the great work. Review Review Review! For poor people like myself, it is awesome when a reputable community member does real world reviews and explains the finer details that a " sales video " wont or can't do. Thank you!

To start, keep your mic within 3 feet for you (at most 3 feet). I don't know what camera you have but if you have a flip screen or can hook it up to a external monitor (through HDMI) do a test recording and look at the audio levels ... that's a good indication of your recording levels. If they don;t go into the yellow you are probably recording too softly. If they are hitting the red then you are too hot. Then adjust your cameras levels (or switch to +20 or -120 DB on your mic since it has that option). If your camera has a headphone jack for monitoring, get a decent set of headphones and do a test run while listening (you might need an extension for your headphones).

I used my iPhone 5c with a recording app with no mic on it and used audacity to take out the noise and boost the audio a little and it sounded great. So I'm convinced with any mic you have you can use it and bring it into audacity to clean up the noise and be set. If your interested just KZread "how to clean up noise in audacity".

Finally! The video that the whole KZread filmmaking community needed. Thanks Caleb for making these great videos. Keep up the awesome work! :)

Did you know that the VideoMic Rycote also has a gain setting of +10 and +20db? I did not see you adjust or use this? The VideoMic Rycote actually gives pretty much the same results as the VideoMic Pro ....

Does the panasonic g7 count as a "newer mirrorless camera"? Does it have a good preamp?

@ReturnJJ

Panasonic has great preamps unlike Canon cameras like the 70D, 80D, 6D which he has and even 5D mark 2/3/4. So you would do fine with a GO or Micro if you are on a budget, which in my guess you are on a budget because you got a G7. G7 is great for $500-600 btw, nice choice!
