Rode Videomic With Fuzzy Windjammer Kit

This VideoMic from Rode is a cost effective shotgun microphone that may without apparent effort be mounted on a video camera because it features an integrated shockmount that attaches to the camera’s shoe. The VideoMic is lightweight, and when mounting on a camera it does not appear in the frame. Fuzzy Windjammer is made of an artificial rabbit fur material for greatest or most complete or best possible shelter versus wind noise. Its super-cardioid polar pattern attenuates sounds from the sides. The result is a signal that sounds closer to the camera, even when shooting in noisy environments or at moderate distances.

Excellent price for excellent product!
By S. Lolli
I was a little skeptical about this product at first given how little of a description it had, but after doing research elsewhere and deciding that this was the best price for this product, I am very satisfied with this purchase.
I shot this video using this microphone: [...] I filmed with a refurbished Canon Vixia HFS200, which was the first time I used that camera as well. There could have been a little more audio editing, but all in all the audio quality is not bad given what I set out to do, which was to make an online video, not an Oscar nominated film. With that in mind the audio is great, and much better than any on-board microphone that was initially installed on the camera. Again, if you want clean audio for a decent price, this is a great way to go.

Best mic at this price point
By B. Gentry
The best sub-$200 mic out there. Mounts directly onto the cameras hot-shoe and comes with a good quality shock mount and extra bands. There’s an optional filter which I’ve never used but the typical full-on provides great quality audio which I’ve used on location, in studio and for a few minor foley sounds. Upwards from this I’d still recommend Rode with the NTG-2 and beyond that it’s Sennheiser but then you’re getting to $500+.

A few drawbacks: the coverage area is a bit wide, it’s mono (not stereo) and the cord can cause some awful noise if you don’t wrap it carefully.

good mic
By Geek Doc
I use this with my canon vixia g10. It is better than the built in mic. It does a good job of picking up voices over background noise.
