From the manufacturer
Stunning Sound, Simple Operation
The VideoMicro II combines stunning sound with incredibly simple operation. There’s no need for batteries as it draws power from its 3.5mm connection and there aren’t any complicated switches or controls, simply plug the microphone in and hit record on your camera or smartphone to capture professional audio.
Focused and Clear Audio
VideoMicro II is a true shotgun microphone which means it's designed to clearly capture sound from in front of the microphone while rejecting unwanted noise from the sides and rear. It utilises RØDE’s revolutionary annular line tube technology to deliver full-bodied and superior clarity that’s never before been heard in such a compact microphone.
Ready For The Road
Measuring just 80mm in length and weighing just 39 grams, the VideoMicro II is astoundingly compact, but it’s also incredibly rugged. It’s built with pro-grade components and housed in a tough all-metal body, making it perfect to keep in your camera kit, backpack or even your handbag.
Complete Kit For Professional Recordings
RØDE’s innovative HELIX isolation mount is tailor-made for the VideoMicro II to provide unmatched protection from knocks, bumps and handling noise. The microphone also comes with deluxe foam and furry windshields, as well as a pair of cables that allow you to connect to devices with either a TRS or TRRS connection.

First off, for context, I'm your quintessential hobbyist videographer, with my trusty Panasonic Lumix S5II X always within arm's reach. And man, has this new Rode VideoMicro II been a revelation!
Straight out the gate, the value. 💸 The audio clarity has taken a notch up from the original - and that’s saying something because the OG VideoMicro was already pretty darn good. But for someone like me, the II just feels like it's been tuned to perfection. It's got this delightful crispness to the audio that makes your content sound that much more professional.
Now, don't get me wrong. The big wide world of microphones is vast, with some mics that have price tags as impressive as their specs. But for the run and gun shooters among us, who prioritize efficient, high-quality, no-fuss gear? This mic is the sweet spot. It's plug, play, and phenomenal results every time.
I have to give a nod to its compact size, too. It's like the pocket-sized superhero of camera mics, delivering way more than you'd expect from its petite frame.
In conclusion? If you’re thinking of leveling up from the original Rode VideoMicro, or even just stepping into the videography game, the Rode VideoMicro II should be high on your list. It’s a small investment for a sizable leap in audio quality. And let's face it, in this game, good audio can make or break your content.
Likes:
1-Small and light
2-Decent sound quality
3-Comes with both foam cover and deadcat
4-Simple to use
5-Inexpensive (enough that I bought two for stereo capture)
6-Decent isolation mount
7-Comes with all needed cables
8-Fair price
Dislikes:
1-Good but not great audio quality
2-Somewhat low sensitivity
I use the Rode AI Micro to bring stereo sound (on separate channels) into my iPhone, which helps the overall sound quality. However, I also use a pair of Sennheiser MKE400 mics into a Zoom F3 (and also into my iPhone) and the sound quality is incomparable (albeit at a 60% premium).
Overall, having a stereo pair of decent mics (even with the added ~$80 additional cost of the AI Micro) makes this purchase a no-brainer for non-professional applications.
Love that it is powered by my camera! One less thing that I need to charge for every game.

Es mi tercer micrófono Rode y estoy muy contento con mi compra.
Lo recomiendo ampliamente
Comodissimo da portare in un set da viaggio perché è di misure contenute, con una buona dotazione di antipop e antivento.
Come unica accortezza, dato che è veramente microscopico, occorre tenerlo a un metro, un metro e mezzo dal soggetto che parla, magari su un mini cavalletto dedicato e una piccola prolunga, a distanze maggiori perde il suo carattere di direzionalità e sensibilità.
Ma viste le dimensioni e il costo, è un comportamento atteso e adeguato.
