Deity D4 Duo vs. Rode Videomicro |The Best Camera Mic Under $100?

Is the Deity D4 Duo the best camera microphone under $100?

Yes - I realize now I bumped my focus ring during the audio tests....

In this video I compare the features and sound of the Deity D4 Duo to the Rode Videomicro. The Rode is often the gateway mic for a lot of people looking to upgrade their camera audio but the added features of the Deity make it an interesting - slightly more expensive option. I forgot to mention in the video - both mics come with dead cat windscreens.
