RØDE Videomic Pro vs Rode Videomic Pro Plus | Best Video Mic in 2021

[@SteveBierfeldt]

Thanks for putting this together this was exactly what I was searching for. For a future video is it possible to have less background noise? I wanted to make a decision based on clarity of sound but the background noise was too loud for me. I'd love to see more of your content!

[@felixkruip]

Good point! My bad.

[@rafapucpr]

I was thinking the same thing, I kept looking for parts where there was no music so I could hear the mics clearly, but the review was excellent.

[@werenotdeadyetwomen]

Hey! I started a new channel a few months ago using borrowed equipment. I am now purchasing my own stuff (mirrorless for Christmas) and really needed to know which one to buy. This was the answer. Def going with the PRO PLUS!

[@felixkruip]

Awesome! Be sure to also check out the Rode Videomic NTG

[@kwarddrumz5912]

great vid.. I just got the pro +....by the way what is the name of your background music

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

great and helpful video observing the pros, cons, and differences. thank you!!

[@BerendSchmidt]

Honestly can not wait for that zoom video, curious to see how the rode videomic and smartlav turn out with the zoom

[@PiojoYT]

Which one of these do you recommend to record live bands am still having trouble which one

[@PierceJPeterson]

Do you recommend the Sennheiser MKE600 or the Rode Video Mic Pro Plus?

[@felixkruip]

Well, as far as I know the Sennheiser needs an XLR. So that would make the Rode an easier option for cameras without an XLR port.

[@PierceJPeterson]

@@felixkruip doesn’t the MKE 600 come with an xlr to 3.5mm adapter?

[@felixkruip]

@@PierceJPeterson Hmm, looks like it does indeed! I've seen different people favor different microphones. In the end it is all about which sound you like most. I would say, rent them both for a day, and find out which one you like more.

[@bluegarren9361]

Just curious, which did you go with?

[@ItzSaya]

Such a well done video thank you for posting the polar patterns very nice.

[@felixkruip]

Really appreciate your comment 🙏🏼

[@jagdishgaikwad88]

Which is best for vlogging ?

[@felixkruip]

Both are great, but if your budget allows it go for the pro plus! :)

[@jagdishgaikwad88]

@@felixkruip Ok Thank u Friend love From Mumbai💕🙏

[@gurugamer8632]

Is plus bigger ?

[@JeffWelcherMedia]

So helpful, subbed!

[@felixkruip]

Great to hear!

[@dklima86]

Looking for a Rode review and found a great channel! Great stuff!

[@OurSweetHideout]

Such an awesome video I had to write this comment. I been using the rode video micro and it’s been the most affordable and most popular shotgun mic, but now wanting to go with the pro plus as we need another mic :)

[@felixkruip]

Thank you so much for your kind comment! Also try out the Rode VideoMic NTG :)

[@martinjungmusic]

Yeah man, finally a new video...I know about it's quality before even watching ✌️

[@felixkruip]

Haha thanks Martin! Did you like the video?

[@martinjungmusic]

@@felixkruip Yessss

[@blackentrepreneur244]

im going to pick up the pro plus as a back up to my Deity D3 Pro

[@deviantrat6001]

Question: For the Pro Plus, have you tried recording from say six feet away (in an interview situation?) Will it capture audio effectively from that distance?

[@felixkruip]

Did try it. It is usable, but not great. Best is to boom it from above.

[@bluegarren9361]

Thanks for the video! Did you ever compare the plus with the Sennheiser MKE600? (saw the comment from Pierce J.) I am recording in a church building and I’m not trying to get perfect quality audio but which of these two would you suggest? Thank you! Blue

[@ollivergodvil]

Great video! Made the picking process a lot easier.

[@felixkruip]

Awesome, which one did you go for?

[@Yallahchris]

what kind of bipod do you have for the pro mic in the video? Im tryna look for one online but they expensive.

[@nicoletiana]

Can you use the videomic pro + for recording voiceovers on a pc?

[@cjchannel1322]

nice info bro ! Thanks !

[@watdahel]

Why would I want the Rode vs a Yeti?

[@xilefkruip]

A Yeti is a very hyped mic, but isn't that great. More used for voice-over recordings. If you're looking for a condensor mic, I recommend checking out my video about the Rode NT1. A videomic is a shotgun mic for on your camera to capture audio in the direction that the lens is aimed at, but it could also be used as a boom for voice.

[@Eiad.Alhamed]

Very helpful. Thank You!

[@felixkruip]

Thanks! 🙏

[@LittlePoet]

Thank you for this video....I have never heard of the term " clip" before...does that mean when I am filming a video this mic ( I have the Pro) will drop my soundtrack?

[@felixkruip]

Clipping means that the recorded audio hits the maximum/ceiling and thereby loses quality. This results in a distorted sound. You should aim for a -6db output so you have a bit of room before "clipping" the sound.

[@lelonzolo1]

very well done review! Good, congrats

[@felixkruip]

I’m very happy to hear that Emanuele! Thank you for the comment

[@greensauce]

Finally you're back!

[@felixkruip]

Here to stay!

[@bigdreams8790]

Good job!

[@elip4854]

Did you end up making a video about the external recording?

[@felixkruip]

Not yet, but I still plan to.

[@OnlineCodeSchool]

Hey dude where did you get your clock from! Haha (background flip clock)

[@lemans_fan]

Salut, j'adore ce que tu proposes. J'ai une question importante. Bien que je ne connais quasi rien aux micros pour l'instant, j'aimerais savoir si le Pro serait adapté voire bien pour filmer des scènes de course automobile sur circuit. Les voitures sont aux alentours de 100-120dB environ. Merci d'avance

[@brianpetersen570]

Les deux micro marches bien comme ca vu qu'elles ont un booster + ou - 10dB- mais le pro+ va fonctionner mieux contre les piques

[@DumbeldoresArmy1]

Love it :D

[@elperroloco3954]

Very good video!!!!!

[@felixkruip]

Thank you!! Any video idea you would love to see next?

[@SuperCinemaCraft]

I just purchased a used video mic pro for 85 bucks I an considering returning to buy a used vmp+ for about double the coat, do you think it's worth it to upgrade while I have the chance or is the regular vmp good enough

[@felixkruip]

vmp for 85 bucks sounds like a good deal! Depending what you are going to use it for, I would recommend getting a boom pole or another accessory for the vmp to increase the sound quality instead of upgrading.

[@SuperCinemaCraft]

@@felixkruip awesome thanks for the reply! I will plan on keeping it. I plan to use it for outdoor footage in the woods to get the best natural sounding setup

[@TrainLordJC]

Hi I have had the RODE videomic then upgraded to the RODE videomic pro then upgraded it to the RODE videomic pro plus. As I constantly shoot outdoors, for example cruise ships coming into port, I seem to be having huge problems eliminating the strong incessant wind noises that all these mikes pick up. It is disappointing to say the least. I haven't played with any settings because I don't know how to go about it to reduce the wind noise. Could you or someone enlighten me how I could go about this using the settings on my RODE videomic pro plus please. Thank you

[@felixkruip]

Please get a DeadCat, it will help you. All mics have this issue.

[@TrainLordJC]

@@felixkruip I already have a a RODE deadcat. And still I am having the problem.

[@droidzhunterz6861]

@@TrainLordJC Also use the highpass 150hz filter. You might need a deadcat with longer hair, to mitigate really strong winds.

[@edub9930]
