Review: Great quality and fair price for something that will hugely improve your recordings - There is a minefield of information to digest when it comes to microphones. There are so many different types to consider, and so many different versions of those types it can be hard to know even where to begin. If you're doing recordings in a static environment, perhaps from a desk at home, you're more than likely going to be wanting a condensing microphone and many people will point you towards a product by Blue Yeti. I certainly would as they're superb. If you want your recordings to be mobile, or your subject is going to be far from the camera, a microphone mounted to the talker in the form of a lavalier mike will be the way to go. However, if you want a microphone that you can mount directly to your DSLR camera and have the versatility of both studio and mobile work, an On-camera microphone such as this VideoMicro by Rode is ideal. Rode, if you're not familiar with them, are one of the best manufacturers of microphones in the business. They're based in Australia and manufacture a number of highly regarded On-camera and lavalier products. You just need to decide which one is right for you. There are four or five On-camera mikes that they manufacture which you might consider, from this baby of the range VideoMicro up to the VideoMic Pro+. Each step will bring added features, at added cost, but the VideoMicro is the best selling On-camera mike on desertcart for a reason. It offers excellent sound quality for a relatively modest outlay. You get a compact microphone along with a furry "dead cat" wind supresser, and a detachable TRS cable to connect from the microphone to your DSLR. The microphone attached to the hot shoe of your DSLR camera, and tightend using a dial to get make it stable. When connected the TRS cable can be snapped into slots in the dial which braces the microphone to the camera and prevents wobbling. The sound quality of the microphone is really good, certainly a vast improvement over the in-built microphone in my Nikon D5300 camera. The sound of me doing my pieces to camera is really quite impressive. Being at the bottom end of the Rode range you might expect comprimises, and while the audio gain isn't as impressive as the top end of the range, you're only paying a fraction of the price and you're still getting a very good mike. A word on that, when you connect it to your camera you'll need to go into your menu settings and adjust the gains of the microphone to properly calibrate it. There's instruction in the box for how to do this, and plenty of tutorials online. The TRS cable provided is designed to plug the microphone into your DSLR's mic/aux-in port. Note that this is a different type of connection to the port you'd find on a smart phone. Phones usually use a TRRS port which despite the similar name isn't the same thing. If you look at a connector you'll see a ring on it. That's the "R" of TRS (Tip/Ring/Sleeve). A TRRS connector has two rings (Tip/Ring/Ring/Sleeve). You can buy converters to change a TRS cable to a TRRS, or Rode will sell you a different cable, a TRS to TRRS cable, which will allow you to connect this microphone to your smart phone. Anyway, I've been using mine now for about two months and I've been very impressed with the performance. While I could have spent more money on better ones in the Rode range I've been perfectly happy with the product and highly recommend it. Review: For the money, no brainer addition to your videography arsenal - Small but mighty. Used it recently at a church based event so echo's where an issue. This is a cardioid mic and was pleasantly surprised just how good the pickup was. Very little noise bleed from the sides and rear. Plus the added dead cat is excellent quality and handled wind like a champ. I used it on a DSLR where it seated comfortably and securely on the hot shoe via a twist clamp. Connectivity is by a 3.5mm jack which should work with the majority of DSLR and video camera, even smartphones with compatible sockets of USB adapters. ## Features - Instantly improve the audio quality of your videos with a broadcast-grade cardioid condenser capsule and rugged shockmount - The VideoMicro is directional, reducing distracting peripheral sounds and focusing on the audio in front of the camera - Perfect for compact camera rigs and vlogging, the VideoMicro is lightweight and rugged, weighing just 42gm (1.5oz) - The 3.5mm TRS output is suitable for almost all cameras and audio interfaces, utilising plug-in power so no batteries are required. - Also included is the WS9 synthetic furry wind shield with foam inner cell, designed for use in outdoor scenarios where wind and environmental noise can inhibit recordings - Two year warranty backed up by RØDE's international service network - The world's bestselling on-camera microphone - up your audio game today, accept no imitations ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B015R0IQGW | | Antenna Location | video production | | Audible Noise | 20 Decibels | | Best Sellers Rank | 3 in Camcorder External Microphones | | Box Contents | VideoMicro Microphone, Rycote Lyre Integrated Impact Protection System, TRS 3.5mm SC2 Cable, WS9 Wind Protection | | Brand | RØDE | | Brand Name | RØDE | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Camera | | Connectivity Technology | Auxiliary | | Connectivity technology | Auxiliary | | Connector Type | 3.5 mm Jack | | Connector type | 3.5 mm Jack | | Country of Origin | Australia | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 20,647 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 2 Years | | Enclosure Material | Aluminium | | External Testing Certification | Não aplicável | | Frequency Range | 40Hz - 20kHz | | Frequency Response | 100 Hz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00698813004362 | | Hardware Platform | Kamera | | Item Dimensions | 8 x 2.1 x 2.1 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Directional On-camera Microphone | | Item Weight | 0.09 Pounds | | Manufacturer | RØDE | | Manufacturer Part Number | Videomicro | | Microphone Form Factor | Shotgun | | Model Name | VMMICRO | | Model Number | VideoMicro | | Model name | VMMICRO | | Number of Batteries | 1 Lithium Ion batteries required. | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Polar Pattern | Unidirectional | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Recommended uses for product | video production | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 75 dB | | Special Feature | Corded | | Special feature | Corded | | UPC | 680709910871 758614290651 657379066528 604339264760 788438085614 698813004362 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** RØDE - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** Camera - **Connectivity technology:** Auxiliary - **Connector type:** 3.5 mm Jack - **Model name:** VMMICRO - **Polar pattern:** Unidirectional - **Recommended uses for product:** video production - **Special feature:** Corded ## Images ![VideoMicro Compact On-camera Directional Microphone for Filmmaking, Content Creation and Location Recording - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51mh6uyrQ-L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: will it work with a smartphone ?** A: Yes, it does work with smartphones, but for that, you do need TRS-TRRS cable (sold separately) as stated in the description. If your smartphone does not have a socket for headphones you will also need an appropriate adaptor for that (i.e. USB C or Lightning to headphones 3.5 mm jack). **Q: What all comes with this? Microphone? Cable? Mount?** A: Hey there! What you see in the thumbnail is what you get in the box: x1 Mono shotgun mic x1 Mount 1x 3.5mm Jack 1 x Dead Cat and x1 obligatory packaging and instructional material ...However, if you also want to use the Mic with your mobile phone you will need to purchase an additional cable... the Rode SC7 cable. Hope this helps! **Q: Just to confirm, will this fit on my Rode lightweight boom pole?** A: Emm the great thing about this mic is that it can go ontop of a dslr and has a built in anti vibration system. But the sound quality is not great compared to a dedicated shotgun mic. If your using a pole I'd look at an NG2 or Sennheiser Mke600. But if you really want it then yes I just looked and there is a screw thread fitting on the base plate to fix it to a pole. **Q: Will this work on a Panasonic DMC-G6?** A: I would expect that it would work with this camera as the camera has a 3.5mm external mic socket. The mic has a 3.5mm plug. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality and fair price for something that will hugely improve your recordings *by C***S on 14 June 2021* There is a minefield of information to digest when it comes to microphones.

Comes with "dead cat" so even works well in poor weather conditions. Has aux cable connectors, no Bluetooth. I see that as a positive as it means no batteries but cable can get a little in the way. Lovely small compact mic, easy to store away in your camera bag. Not bulky if you wanted it in your pocket. Would make a nice small desk mic for meetings etc without feeling in the way. For the price this is a definite buy and a great little starter mic/every day mic. The one thing that does let it all down though is the mic seems a little heavy for the mounting so, it can sometimes seem a little "floppy" in the mounting or just tends to droop down. ## Frequently Bought Together - RØDE VideoMicro Compact On-camera Directional Microphone for Filmmaking, Content Creation and Location Recording - RØDE SC7 TRS to TRRS 3.5mm Patch Cable, Smartphone - Apple USB-C to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter ​​​​​​​ --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/47909051-videomicro-compact-on-camera-directional-microphone-for-filmmaking-content-creation](https://www.desertcart.no/products/47909051-videomicro-compact-on-camera-directional-microphone-for-filmmaking-content-creation) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-29*
