RODE VideoMic Go VS VideoMic Pro

In today's video we have a VideoMic throw-down between the RODE VideoMic GO and the RODE VideoMic Pro!

Make sure you watch my new RODE Video Mic Showdown!

RODE VideoMic GO

RODE VideoMic Pro

More information on the microphones here:

NEW VideoMic Pro
This is the newest model of the VideoMic Pro, you get the updated Rycote mount with this version but it will cost you another $30+

[CosmicGigs]

The entire reason for a shotgun mic is to be able to capture sound from a distance. Your review setup was great but I was so dissapointed you didn't do any distance testing. A mic sounding great with your face right next to the mic isn't a real world test.

I currently own the Røde VideoMic Pro and it's the best mic I've ever owned! Great choice for indie filmmakers

[kanukster]

You do realize that the Rode VideoMic Go has three positions for the mic. Just unscrew the hot shoe mount and reposition further forward or back.

You can actually make the videomic go sit further forward on top of the camera by undoing the little screw inside the shoe mount which lets you pop the whole mount off and reposition the pins to one of 3 positions (further forward, standard position or further back). Just a little tip if you need to use the EVF on the camera :)

Boom! SOLD. at 7m30s you had me sold on the VideoMic Pro. Awesome review. Thanks, bud :)

[curtisjudd]

Nicely done, Caleb. I'm a fan of the new VideoMic Pro with the Rycote Lyre suspension system and completely agree. If you can afford the extra cost, go for the Pro and be sure to turn things on and off. :)

[CalebWojcik]

The +20db is an essential feature for me if you're going into a DSLR. Much less noise and cleaner sound. Great comparison.

[EpicWaterDrop]

Thank you, I got the Videomic Go, because I'm a cheap ass, but damn it does great audio. And a little post processing doesn't hurt so it sounds wonderful thanks!

BROTHA MAN! Thanks to you I was able to choose between the VideoMic Go and VideoMic Pro! I totally forgot to give you credit for this a few months ago. I watched so many reviews (dozens) and it was yours that finally helped me make the purchase of the VideoMic Pro and I'm extremely satisfied with it and use it for every single YouTube video I've made so far... ALL 5! WOW THAT'S A LOT! (cough...)

But really though, fantastic review and EXTREMELY detailed. Keep up the great videos sir!

[georgemalcolmtv]

Really the best review of these mics i've seen

[jasonstallworth]

Ugh, I didn't turn my ROde VideoMic NTG turned on during an interview last night...1.5 hours, gone! Of course, that's my own fault. Fortunately, he agreed to try again!

[KetansaCreatesArt]

7:29 the 'Rode videomic pro' was still hooked up you were adjusting the buttons, and you called it 'Rode videomic go'. Videomic go does not have any switch.

[JoeNorero]

8:40 You gave a great example of what +20 DB sounded like with it on and off. That totally answered my question. Thanks so much you make high quality videos with great info.

[simonrockstream]

Best damn video on YouTube, seriously. WELL DONE. No bullshit, just straight to the point and extremely informative. Nice work!

[dvision]

You were the only reviewer to point out how the GO interferes with looking thru the viewfinder. Thanks.

[GaryDmedia]

So good to hear the difference between these popular mics. The rycote suspension on the later models of the VideoMic Pro have made such a difference.

[Tetracarbon]

Thanks for the tip on the +20. My canon 650d has a horrible hiss from the video mic pro, I will now try ramping up the mic and ramp down the camera. Thanks man!!!

[i.destiny]

Your videos are always so informative and detailed, yet to the point. Thanks again!!!

[Bushchannel]

I've seen a few reviews now on the Go and Pro. You're the first to mention about having to remember to switch on the Pro. Thank you, didn't know that until now ;)

"you can get this thing so freaking high, just on the microphone"
sounds like something someone would say to Snoop Dogg
