VideoMic Me Directional Microphone for Smartphones. The VideoMicro is a compact microphone designed to improve the audio quality of your videos. There is a bit of conventional wisdom that goes something like, "Half of good video is good audio." And it’s true. Say you’re recording a video of a live performance. Who cares if the band looks like they’re cooking if it doesn’t sound great; The VideoMicro incorporates a high-quality cardioid condenser microphone capsule for great quality audio recordings when used with a wide range of cameras. The VideoMicro reduces distracting peripheral sounds and focuses on the audio in front of the camera. Its pickup is more forgiving than other on-camera microphones, providing a more natural sound when recording indoors. The microphone body is made from aluminum, giving it a high level of RF rejection, and is finished in RODE's high-grade ceramic anti-glare black coating. Included with the VideoMicro is a camera shoe mount featuring a Rycote Lyre shockmount. Featuring a suspension structure composed of a rugged thermoplastic, it is far more effective at minimizing unwanted vibrations, handling and cable-borne noise than traditional elastic suspensions. The Rycote Lyre will never sag, snap, wear out or require rethreading to maintain its effectiveness. Also included is the WS9 synthetic furry wind screen with foam inner cell, designed for use in outdoor scenarios where wind and environmental noise can inhibit recordings. SPECSAcoustic Principle: Pressure GradientActive Electronics: JFET impedance converterCapsule: 0.50" Polar Pattern: Cardioid Address Type: EndFrequency Range: 100Hz - 20kHzMaximum SPL: 140dB SPL (at 1kHz, 1% THD into 1KOhm load) Sensitivity: -33.0dB re 1 Volt/Pascal (22.00mV at 94 dB SPL) +/- 2 dB at 1kHz Equivalent Noise Level (A-weighted): 20dB-A Weight: 42g Dimensions: 21mm x 21mm x 80mm. The mount will flex to accommodate the thickness of your device when attached, do not bend or force open

 I can't tell you how many times I've had to re-film videos because this microphone worked sometimes and failed other times. Avoid this. Get a real camera and mic. Seriously

Dodge this bullet.

 You can hear the difference for yourself in the video clip. The best part about this mic is it is truly plug and play. Many mics claim it but this one actually delivers it.

Great mic for the price.

 UPDATE: I purchased this mic 3 years ago. It did very little in terms of performance. Here i am updating this review 3 years later. This mic sat around for 3 years as a paper weight since I did not use it because of its poor performance

 This ME barely makes any difference on my Note 8 S4 Active or my iPad mini. It is disappointing considering I spent way more money on this when I could have purchased several cheaper alternatives that work better. Loved the convenience of just plugging it into a phone with a firm attachment but it does very little to improve the audio. I added a foam cover it did not come with one

I have the micro and the pro and this. The others are good the pro mic is my favorite. This ME barely makes any difference on my Note 8 S4 Active or my iPad mini.

Does Very Little 👎 Till 3 Years Later 😳

 Additionally, I didn't find a sufficient enough difference b/w this device and the in-camera mic for nat sound. This is mostly a 3-star review b/c it was an error on my part to think it would be iPhone 7 compatible. Rode does have an omnidirectional mic that's compatible with the lightening port in the 7, but it's quite a bit more expensive than this little guy. Unless you REALLY need to isolate your ambient noise, I would say the in-cam iPhone 7 mic is sufficient, and for interviews, I'd go ahead and shell out the cash for the Rode lav+ with extender cord

Not iPhone 7(Plus) Friendly

 I also ordered, but have not yet used sufficiently to review it, one of the clip on telephoto lenses. Between the two new elements, I'm seriously considering not taking my large digital camera on a trip to Europe next Fall.

Excellent Add-on Sound for Special Situations

This seems to be a good mic so far. I especially like that it attaches to my Note 8 with the OtterBox on with no issues. The only thing I don't like in the short time that I have used it is it's size. It's much bigger than I thought it would be, and with the "dead cat" wind shield on it, it's quite huge seemingly doubling the size of my phone as I handle it

The SM7B dynamic microphone has a smooth, flat, wide-range frequency response appropriate for music and speech in all professional audio applications. It features excellent shielding against electromagnetic hum generated by computer monitors, neon lights, and other electrical devices. The SM7B has been updated from earlier models with an improved bracket design that offers greater stability. In addition to its standard windscreen, it also includes the A7WS windscreen for close-talk applications. Popular radio and TV mic features excellent shielding against electromagnetic hum. Plus mounting bracket. Impedance: 150 ohms for connection to microphone inputs rated at 19 to 300 ohms.

..To get this mic to work, you would need to spend at least $800 or more.  I have a mixed feeling about this mic because it does keep out the background noice pretty well (which was the reason I got this in the first place), however, it not as easy to set this up as I thought

.you're ONLY buying the mic! You will NEED to buy everything else separately to get this to work, and I mean everything else going from cloudlifter, Focusrite, xls cables, desk stand/arm..

I have a mixed feeling about this mic because it does keep out the background noice pretty well (which was the reason I got this in the first place), however, it not as easy to set this up as I thought. Plus, this mic is on the quiet side, so you would need A LOT of gains.  Although I will keep this mic as I finally got it to work, let this be a warning note for you if you are not familiar with the whole set up of this mic

 It could be a frustrating experience which will destroy your excitement of getting this mic in the first place.

Beware of this mic

Our new Shure SM7B doesn't sound nearly as good and I think cost $400, but it is super good at blocking off background noise. That's the only thing it is good at. I know it is famous since Michael Jackson liked it, but I think he liked it for its distortion. Why can't we make decent microphones for a reasonable price?

Hello

For many years I've been living without using webcams, but since covid hitted I felt the need to get one become I had more video calls with others people than ever.

So I started looking into webcams, and I'm just speechless about how bad they are to this day.

Even a brand new StreamCam from logitech (released in 2020) selling for 150€ doesn't match the quality of my Xioami smarthphone that coast the same price (and obivously can achieve many other things than simply recording). 

Everything seems extremely overpriced, low quality etc and I simply don't understand why this market didn't evolved that much considering the fact that streaming is extremely popular and people are very interested in good quality webcams.

Why are webcams still terrible in 2021 ?

.with a steady, easily detectable background hiss of white noise. Every microphone creates an innate noise floor just by virtue of the electronics, but a decent mic (even dynamic mics like the SM58 or Samson Q2U) will typically drown out the noise floor with the actual signal. Not the SM7B

 High noise floor  Seriously, unless you're a veteran in the podcast or voiceover field and can list five solid reasons for purchasing the SM7B (none of which includes "the look"), don't buy this microphone. If you're rocking a Scarlet interface, don't buy this microphone. Most podcasters are going to get a better sound with an Audio Technica AT2100 or other entry-level dynamic (or--if you have a solo podcast and a quiet environment-- even a midrange condenser ). Plus you'll save a few hundred bucks

.about that noise floor. If you've done your homework you already know that this is a low-output mic, but you might not understand just how weak a signal can be until you plug an SM7B into your favorite high-quality preamp. I'm running the SM7B through one of the best prosumer interfaces you can buy--the Sound Devices Mix Pre 6--in a sound-treated home studio

Hands-down most overrated microphone in the podcasting/voiceover world

 Free / low cost software preferred. Not a fan of subscription services like AdobeCC or MS365.

Shure SM7B, Cloudlifter, PreSonus Audiobox USB96, and an Amazon basics tripod boom mic stand. Any recommendations for software are welcome. Free / low cost software preferred. Not a fan of subscription services like AdobeCC or MS365

 Shure sells such a POP filter, good enough for the task. Once you're using a proper external pop filter, you can place it really close to the metal grille front, have your SM7B switches without bass-cut and with the presence-boost on (as I said it earlier this is actually a no-presence-cut position rather than a real boost)..

...if you really think hard about it, it is thus trying to be like a condenser mic, but whereas a condenser mic has a built-in preamp, this SM7B needs an external preamp! In-between, that's where it is

.. the audio pattern mimics the legendary SM58's presence-boosting curve, so the SM7B can give your recorded voice the classic Shure SM58 "live" character if you know how to use it right (though again you need to keep in mind that it's never going to be as delicate as a condenser mic, still if you know what you're doing you might find it a worthy trade-off to get great character with the loss of some delicate-ness. Post-recording engineering, a bit of compression and you're back in the game

 Imagine a super-sensitive SM58 with a Blues singer planting his lips of the grille and you're recording his voice in a studio, and you're in 'POP hell...now you appreciate the engineering :)  Apologies for the lengthy review, but I do believe I've given an honest description of the important details

Excellent but largely misunderstood microphone
