THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE VIDEOMIC GO.
I bought this mic for my canon 6D mark II I do product reviews on youtube (channel MKvapor)
I tried the mic when I got it there were a hissing noise sometimes crackling noise so I looked up the problem on youtube to find a solution for it watched 5 videos and their solution was to throw it away and thats the same solution rode would give you if you call them they will say oh have you heard about our video mic pro + its like I bought a chevy cruze that only drives in revers if i go to the dealership they tell me have you heard about our Cadillac escalade. there is no fix for the problem its just BAD. I had to make a video for a product it was to be dune the 29th of November and I was stuck with this mic over 300 comments n my video were about how bad the sound is. now after losing my subscribers and views =$ also the dissatisfaction of the company with the video I have to go throw return and spending $200 more to get the decent mic and having to wait for it.

Get the Dead Cat For Winds, Still a Good Mic Without It
By BrotherKehn on September 23, 2017
I love this Rode Mic, the one I purchased was the Rode VMGO Video Mic GO. I used it on my Sony A7II, Nikon D5500 and sometimes on my laptops for some vlogs. I mostly used this during a loud party like when theres a DJ invited to it and if they do play loud music. I wouldn't want my audio db's to pop or cut out so, I got this. This is a good ideal size and performance for those who are on a budget but want a good Mic. I would still also get the smaller version more for travel vlogs with mirrorless cameras than heavier rigs.By BrotherKehn on September 23, 2017

China Fake?!
Reviewed in Germany on November 20, 2018
Bestellt habe ich eine Rode Mic, erhalten habe ich wohl eine chinese Version. Mit voller Vorfreude bakamm ich das Päckchen von der Post zugestellt. Anfangs war ich schon etwas stutzig da die Bilder auf der Box etwas blass erschienen. Auch das Emblem war etwas komisch (unklar, verschmiert). Ich dachte mir:“ Rode wird doch wohl keine wie white Labels aussehende produkte verkaufen“! Ich begann meine Recherchen hierfür zu machen. Tatsächlich findet man einige comparisons im Internet. Damit konnte klar ermittelt werden, dass es sich hierbei wohl um eine Fake handelt. Auch auf der Rode HomePage sind Warnungen über Fakes auf Amazon zu lesen. Echt schade, geht definitiv zurück.
