Rode VideoMic Pro+ and Canon 5D Mark IV: Setup and Audio Test

I recently purchased the Rode VideoMic Pro+ to add to my video kit. I have paired it with my Canon 5D Mark IV. I wanted to share what comes in the box, the easy set up and a quick audio test of the features. I hope you find this helpful if you are deciding to add this microphone to your kit as well.

    It was a very good video indeed. I have a 5D M 4 and I was searching for a good mic to pair with. This is very helpful. You doing all the work by yourself shows your commitment. Way to go buddy.

    great video, but I couldn't get the "red/section 4" till I changed my mode. I understand that so many of these how to videos forget to specify which mode (manual, auto A...) So if I change the mode back to A, will it effect the sound set at manual?

    How would you rate the directionality of the microphones pick up field? I might have to record a wedding from a static position and it would be nice to have a microphone that I could just point at a relatively close distance. Thanks so much!

    Great video Nicole. I have just recently purchased this mic for my 5D IV and Im hopefully going to shoot some footage with it this evening at Slains Castle near Peterhead in Scotland for my first ever KZread video. This was really great to understand the settings that I should be utilising. Thanks so much!!!

    Hi! From what Rode information provide the batter supplied will last 2 hours, however what's great is that you can sub 2 AA batteries in the slot and keep the recording going. I hope this helps. Have a great shoot.

    Hi Nicole, thank you for your very nice and clear video. I am just starting to have a video. That is taken in a church while the priest is having his speech. What is the set up you would use? I would be most grateful for your instruction as I cannot test it beforehand :)

    I would suggest asking them if they could meet before everyone arrives so you can setup your camera and test the audio. That is what typically happens on any job so they should be open to it. Another suggestion is to buy headphones so you can plug it into the camera directly and hear the audio and adjust. You will be able to tell if you are too close or too far. Another suggestion I have is to have the priest mic with a Rode Wireless Mic System. The audio will be MUCH better. Let me know if you have additional questions.

    Thank you very much. We actually had the plan to call them in order to get opportunity to go and test. Thank you for the suggestion, we need to consider the options. I do not know how the separately mic will work, how to install and how to get voice in the camera. You see, I just beginner :D @@NicoleBedardPhotography
