Best Mic for $99?! | Rode VideoMic Go II Review and Sound Check

[@LizzDimaano]

Which mic sounded best to you? Rode Wireless Go II, Rode VideoMic Go II, or the Sony ZV-1?

[@hneufvil]

The Rode VideoMic Go II sounds better than the Rode Wireless Go II and the Sony ZV-1. I'm going buy it. Thanks!!

@@hneufvil so glad you found it helpful! You’ll love it!

This mic is perfect! Not only is it lightweight but the audio quality is impressive 💯

[@LizzDimaano]

Yes I agree Renz! Thanks for watching :)

[@JonnyRoams]

Rode never disappoints!

[@LizzDimaano]

Totally agree, Jonny!!

[@bramdmedia]

Hey Lizz! Great video! I was super surprised when you said it was only 89 grams! that's crazy!

[@LizzDimaano]

Yes! Super lightweight so it’s perfect for my ZV-1 :)

[@HamzaRashid]

Wow this is a really high quality video. I'm sure you'll grow your channel so fast! Question - What is the max distance this mic can record well? I record videos with my friends sometimes and want to have both of us in the frame.

[@LizzDimaano]

Thank you so much!! I haven’t actually tested the max distance. I’ll have to try it out :)

The Sony ZV-1 mic, though quieter, sounded better in the outdoor setting. It cut out more of the wind and outdoor noise and focused more on your voice.

[@LizzDimaano]

Yes, I agree! I should’ve tried the video mic II outdoors with a dead cat on it to block the wind and outdoor noise.

[@quintessentialgrooming5285]

@@LizzDimaano Did you have the dead cat on the Sony mic?

[@LizzDimaano]

@@quintessentialgrooming5285 no, I did not.

Hi @Lizz Dimaano, thanks for reviewing this microphone, I need a microphone, but unsure if I should go with the Rode or the Blue Yeti microphne.

[@LizzDimaano]

How will you use the microphone? I’ve never tried blue yeti. But I have several rode mics and they never disappoint!

@@LizzDimaano, I would like to start doing voices overs on my new Tech channel regarding the history of some of the robots I have filmed and on some of my other videos on one of my other channels. So I went someting that makes my voice sound good and helps cancle out noise as well.

[@LizzDimaano]

@@Anthony_Matabaro_3D_360 if you want something for just voice overs, you could go with the ride NT usb mini. However, if you are thinking of eventually wanting a shotgun mic for your camera, the rode VideoMic go II is a great option! It gives you the flexibility in case you want to do both :)
