    4 Stars
    Worth it..For me!
    Arrived super fast! Easy to set up. Came with the 3.5 output (see pic) This is important because I was actually not sure it would based on the description. I thought I might have to purchase separately.I did do a sound check and found it to be a better quality than just my camera. The improvement isn't huge, but good enough for my needs. Enhanced sound is always good when filming video and for the price point...I feel it was worth it.I'm filming with a slightly older Canon T7 (still an amazing camera) in a closed set environment with the camera and mic station in place. It cleaned up the sound quality from sounding like you're in the bathroom...lolThis was a successful purchase and my first microphone from the Rode family. I most likely will purchase an upgraded Microphone with the Rode brand in the near future, because of this purchase being successful.Plus: Simple set up (set your camera recording mode to manual) Turn the knob to loosen the shoe, slide the attached Rycote cradle over the shoe on camera and turn the knob to tighten. Finally put the 3.5 out into back of microphone and the other end into your camera mic. Good to go.Hope this was helpful💗

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best MIC for a Small Budget!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2016
    Okay, first off, I didn't buy this MIC from Amazon, but from Best Buy.

    This MIC is a really good MIC in recording high quality, crisp sound, but sometimes when there is no dialogue, and there is an action that doesn't have much sound, like a door opening and closing, there can be quite a loud hiss in the background. This MIC is the best one for people in a budget like me and is very professional too! Here are 2 ways to prevent the hiss problem:

    1.) Via CAMERA SETTINGS: Now I know that the GO mic doesn't have a -20db, but you can still lower the hiss through the camera audio recording settings! (My camera is a Canon, so setting titles may vary for different cameras, but I'm pretty sure Nikon has many of those same titles/names.)

    Step 1: Go to your camera's settings (via camera), and go to the tab that has the audio recordings.
    Step 2: Click on "Sound Recording" and put on "Manual" instead of "Auto".
    Step 3: Go down how much you need to, to reach "Rec. Level". Click on that.
    Step 4: Put the level around 5 or 6; go to the far end (left) of the level and click 5 or 6 times for it to go to the right. (contact me if you need more detail).
    This will lower the hiss sound, so the audio will be a clearer when you have dialogue or recording voiceover.

    2.) Via EDITING SOFTWARE: (I use Final Cut Pro X and iMovie, so I'm sure any other editing software would have the audio effect if these two have it.)

    Step 1: Open your editing software.
    Step 2: Go to the "Effects" tab.
    Step 3: Click on the subcategory (if you have one): "Audio Effects"
    Step 4: Scroll down (if you have to) and find the tab "Levels"
    Step 5: Then, scroll down (if you have to again) and find the "Gain" effect.
    Step 5: Add that effect to your clip/audio and adjust the setting controls to "-20db"
    Now you have better sounding audio without having to buy the Rode MIC with the Gain controls on the MIC itself.

    ***I have attached pictures (for the Editing Software portion) to help along with the steps. If you still need help, don't hesitate to contact me!***

    Hope this helps you decide what MIC to buy, and this one seems to be perfect if you are a freelance filmmaker, YouTube creator, or anyone with a tight budget :)

    Reviewed in Sweden on May 11, 2023
    Using this separate micro is a huge improvement in sound quality. RØDE VideoMic makes a good impression. However, the disadvantage is that it stands out at the back of the camera making it difficult to use the viewfinder (around 6 cm from the viewfinder in my case). Working with the LCD display alone is tricky and problematic in e.g. bright sunlight.
