The Rode Videomic is a lightweight plastic shotgun style microphone mounted in an elastic shockmount

Well made; good sound quality and well isolated from the camera

Somewhat short battery life and it doesn't make a good handle

I film wildlife for dvd and tv production. This mic has been a solid addition to my gear. The sound quality it picks up is amazing. Despite this great sound, I am dealing with a humm in the background of my recordings. I'm in the process of trying to work thru this.

Lightweight; Simple Use; Sound quality

Noisy; Some background humm

This is a great product. The only reason I gave it a nine is because in all fairness I haven't tried another and there may be something that works better but my search is over. Especially for the price. Love it.

For those looking to move beyond the internal microphone on a digital SLR or camcorder, the VideoMic Pro can achieve excellent audio in a compact, lightweight and relatively inexpensive package.

Compact size perfectly suited to digital SLRs; Usability improvements over the original VideoMic; Ideal solution for recording better audio with a digital SLR or camcorder

Battery compartment hard to close; No carrying or protective case

Need is the mother of all invention. This was what made a top notch company like Rode to create a lightweight, durable, and immensely high quality microphone for the miniDV camera. Peter Freedman, Mr. Rode himself, ?

"For years I have used an older microphone on my video camera and even the same old mic on my Canon 5D Mark II. I thought the quality was alright until i asked someone to do some professional editing. Comments I received back weren't great about the sound quality.
