Best MIC for a Small Budget!

- Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2016Color: 1st Gen | VMGOVerified PurchaseOkay, 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 the United States on August 30, 2023Color: 1st Gen | VMGOVerified PurchaseI recently purchased the RØDE Auxiliary VideoMic GO Lightweight On-camera Shotgun Microphone, and I'm absolutely blown away by the difference it has made in my video production quality! As an aspiring content creator, I've always struggled with capturing clear and crisp audio directly from my camera, but this microphone has completely changed the game for me.
First and foremost, the lightweight design is perfect for my on-the-go filming style. It doesn't add any significant weight to my camera setup, making it ideal for long shooting sessions or when I'm out and about capturing various scenes. The setup was a breeze too – just plug it into the camera's audio input, and I was good to go!
The audio quality is where this microphone truly shines. The shotgun design allows it to focus on the sound directly in front of it while minimizing background noise. I was amazed at how it picked up even the slightest details in my recordings, whether I was filming interviews, tutorials, or outdoor shots. The result? Crystal clear audio that truly enhances the overall viewing experience.
One thing I was particularly impressed with is how well it handled outdoor recording. Wind noise can be a nightmare, but the built-in windscreen on this microphone did a fantastic job of minimizing those disturbances. This feature alone has saved me a ton of time in post-production, not having to deal with excessive wind interference.
Overall, the RØDE Auxiliary VideoMic GO microphone is a game changer for anyone looking to up their video and audio quality. The lightweight, easy-to-use design combined with outstanding audio performance make it an essential tool in my filmmaking kit. If you're serious about creating top-notch content, do yourself a favor and invest in this microphone – you won't be disappointed!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2024Color: 1st Gen | VMGOVerified PurchaseI have a canon eos m50 and like to film travel vlogs. The internal microphone of the camera is not great so I knew I needed a mountable microphone. I very much appreciate that the mic comes with a shock absorber that helps with people like me who are always walking while filming. The sound quality sounds that of a professional microphone and is crystal clear. I would recommend a wind shield to go over the mic if you are outside filming like me. The foam it comes with isn’t that great for diffusing the wind. Great mic for budget vloggers!

5.0 out of 5 stars I had heard so many good things about Rode so I knew I wanted one ...
Color: 1st Gen | VMGOVerified PurchaseI was really unsure about which mic to order. I had heard so many good things about Rode so I knew I wanted one of theirs, but which one? I ended up deciding on the VideoMic Go since it fit my budget and is easy enough to bring with me when travelling and such. I use it for Youtube videos, both talking to the camera and interview style shoots. The mic works quite well for these applications.
I found that when editing my videos, there is a static noise in the background. I don't know if that's an issue with my settings on the DSLR or if the mic is just really sensitive and is picking up background noise. Either way, it's fairly easy to get rid of during editing. The sound quality is worth the extra effort. Voices are crisp and clear.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great budget video mic
Color: 1st Gen | VMGOVerified PurchaseThis is a great budget video mic. You can get cheaper ones and I did try a cheaper one. Firstly it's a tenfold improvement on the in-camera mic, it's seriously better. It does have some downsides which I'll get into further down.
The built in camera mic on most cameras has all the sound quality of an asthmatic mouse whispering in the next room, while a high school rock band plays 'Smells like teen spirit' for the first time next door before artistic differences cause them to fight and break up 10 mins later, before reforming for a comeback tour. I'm not sure where I was going with that analogy.
It also beats the cheaper ones by a wide margin, like Richmond Football Club playing Nunawading Football Club. Google Nunawading FC, also if anyone has a Nunawading FC guernsey for sale get in touch. The step up in performance of this from my cheaper budget mic was just great, in both sound but especially build quality.
I know Rode have a lot more products that have a seriously increased sound recording quality over this one but they also come with an increased price to match that quality. So you won't be getting studio quality but you will get a mic much better than some of the cheaper stuff out there, especially if you're just an enthusiast like myself and have a budget that suits being a hobbyist. Maybe I had a dud cheap one but I did see an immediate improvement over my previous one.
What are the problems.
Firstly you can get some hiss, especially in low noise environments where it seems its almost trying to hunt for any ambient background sounds but this could be just my cameras sound processing. To beat this, I lowered my dB levels in camera and set my sound settings to manual to stop the camera from adjusting anything. Just like my cheaper one this removed the hiss but to a greater extent. You'll need to play with your settings to work out what's best for your specific camera.
The second problem you will encounter is interference from radio signals. I'm talking WiFi, phone, certain lights etc or any similar source. You can manage this interference by turning them off or a simple solution I use is to put a bit of copper shielding tape on the back of the mic. You can get this tape from hardware stores, electronic stores, guitar stores and yes even Amazon. Even cheaper, a bit of aluminium foil will help.
Another thing I suspect may be causing this is the cable. This cable also powers the mic and is the input to the camera. I suspect the coiled red cable is generating an EMF source of interference. Perhaps the cable is shielded but I doubt it very much. I haven't as yet done a simple cable swap, this may improve things but I'm honestly not sure if the tiny current changes in the audio signal would have any measurable or noticeable impact on generating EMF. I hope not because the coiled red cable looks absolutely cool.
Another thing that I always do, if I'm recording someone speaking is to try to flex the shock mount so the mic points to the upper chest of the person rather than the mouth. Basically you generally point the camera at someone's head when recording them and the mic tends to point at their head or above. This will mean if they move or turn their head sound quality changes or you may be pointing at a sound source behind them, making you believe your mic is crap. Pointing it at their chest will reduce this effect significantly.
To get great sound
• Reduce dB levels in camera and set sound to manual
• Some shielding tape helps to reduce RFI interference
• The cable may be a source.
• Pay attention to where exactly your mic is pointed.
• Oh and use a dead cat / wind shield they also help on ambient background noise.
I'm getting the sound of a $250+ mic on a $80+ mic.
