[@JessesAuditorium]

I got high just watching this vid

[@LoveTheBasics]

Nice

[@philiphoughphotography4061]

I'm considering this mainly cos it's the only decent mic that shows wind protection..

[@LoveTheBasics]

This mic is amazing and cheap

[@philiphoughphotography4061]

I'm going to get one for my Fuji XT4..

[@philiphoughphotography4061]

Better than some that are £200+

[@cal8044]

you literally helped me fix every problem I had with the mic... wow

[@LoveTheBasics]

That’s what I want to hear!

[@simplevisuals]

....Wow....I’ve had my Rode VideoMicro for 3 years and just learned all of these just now wtf I’m seriously mind blown, especially about the deadcat! Mine kept falling off and just recently I had to hot glue a circle around the opening (which worked) to keep it from falling off, but yeah, I just peeled off the hot glue just now and actually pulled the dead cat all the way 🤣👍🏼 Thanks for the tips!!

[@LoveTheBasics]

I’m so glad to hear that! I was pretty mind blown myself when I learned these tips

[@joshozuna]

I recently bought this mic and these three tips were totally new to me. Thanks for the tutorial. When you’re starting out with new gear you can always use all the help you can get.

[@LoveTheBasics]

Yessir

[@TopicSet]

MY DUDE!! I just got this Rode mic and was going to send it back because it was saggy and bouncy AND the deadcat wouldn't stay on. So glad I found this video. Thanks so much!!

[@lightineverything]

I love the vibe of this video. Learning about technology is usually very meh to me, very boring. But this guy right here makes me very chill.

[@YestoHawaii]

Super helpful! I had been using the Rode wireless go (love it!) but the clip snapped off & I had to send it in to Rode to get it fixed. I wanted a nice back-up mic & this fit the bill. I liked how this doesn’t use an external battery. I am SO glad I found this video. “Recessed. That’s the word!!” Thank you!!

[@AndrewDixonMusic]

Thanks, didn't know the first 2, both very useful!

[@LoveTheBasics]

Thank you!

[@priyeshabsolute]

I had the mic for about 2 years and never knew I could secure the deadcat. Thank you for that tip!

[@LoveTheBasics]

Of course!

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Dope. I have had my Rode Micro for 3 years and never knew the dead cat clipped into place if you push it on far/hard enough. Mine was always loose. Now it's on good and tight, thanks to your vid!

[@UnaLubna]

what a helpful trick. using this mic for months with wobbly things. i don't even think about cable trick. it works!

[@LoveTheBasics]

Hopefully it helps!

[@MrDudeinAction]

You're amazing man 👏 learned a lot from your video 👍

[@MakerFabio]

good hint , especially the cable one !

[@AnthonyBodanza]

Great tips! Thanks man!! Excited for more content form you

[@LoveTheBasics]

Thank you so much!

[@abiteofsomtam]

Congratulations on reaching 100 subscribers! And thanks for these tips!

[@LorenaCaroline]

I've never been so thankful for finding a certain video. Thank you.

[@AymanTheRepairTech]

[@LoveTheBasics]

[@LoveTheBasics]

Thank you so much! Hopefully you still like my channel lol

[@JebSmith]

Thanks for the hacks, I've had that mic for over a year and had no idea on the wire clamp.

[@LoveTheBasics]

I know! I was mind blown when I learned about that

[@magdalenabos]

OH MY FABSIUDSAPIE GOSH. I haven't watched any hacks but the first one so far BC I am MIND BLOWN. I have been STRUGGLING with my deadcat bouncing into my shots. I've watched so many videos to get to this point. Thank you thank you.

[@LoveTheBasics]

OMG You’re welcome! I’m glad I can help!

[@itsaaronward]

This was awesome, thanks for the tips!

[@LoveTheBasics]

Thank you so much!

[@uncommonanom]

Bro for some reason I love tour channel already! I think it’s cuz you actually talk better than some KZbinrs out there that talk way to fast!

[@ImGerry]

best video hack man! I had no clue about these things even using them for months.

[@ThePassportCouple]

Awesome tips that helped me solve the problems I had with the Rode Videomicro 👏

[@Omega1fitnessLAD]

Good vid & Helpful thanks bro 👌🏽

[@DylanAyres]

But then do you have to match the audio to your footage in post if you have an external recorder?

[@LoveTheBasics]

Yes but in most softwares you can do that automatically

[@LoveTheBasics]

Or you can just use it as a preamp

[@vincyagain]

Needed this video thank you sO much

Sweet tips man! The first one made my day as a golf vloger👊 Thanks man

[@LoveTheBasics]

Thank you so much! I’m glad I can help

[@birdmanthewelder]

Great tips! Thx dude! The wire stabilizing trick is brilliant 🙌

[@LoveTheBasics]

Aye thank you my guy

[@lovefrom1987]

I just bought one and this is great tips! Thanks.

[@LoveTheBasics]

[@User_not_found_403]

[@travelwithsuman_tws]

[@LoveTheBasics]

Thank you so much!! I’m glad I could help!

[@journeygraph7111]

Thank you so much for the tips :)

[@LoveTheBasics]

Thank you!!

[@raquellopez2325]

Thank you so much for these tips - honestly, I've had this mic for a looooong while and have not yet used it. First I discovered I needed a special cable (red/grey) I went and purchased it. Then I needed the Apple adapter which I've just done. The tips you're giving here are super helpful - I won't give up on using this mic as the reviews are awesome. Now I need to find a way to position it on the tripod. I may also need something else for that LOL

[@andresarredondo]

thankyou for the tips, you has a new follower

[@LoveTheBasics]

Thank you so much!

[@salas7395]

Great Vid brotha! Thanks for the 3 pointers. I was pretty bummed out that the RODE mic was moving like a bobblehead lol I never even noticed the slots 💯Thanks G

[@LoveTheBasics]

Thank you so much!!

[@PearceSmith]

Update. Sep 6, 45.7k the 100 subs part really made me realize that everything is possible once you put in the work, and this is a great video!

[@Ryuuun]

omg it took me this long to find out that I had to push the deadcat in so that it latches, I always thought it just came loose like that. thanks for the video love the aesthetic!

[@Selflete]

Really helpful. Awesome! Thank you!

[@LoveTheBasics]

I’m glad i could help!

[@colinkeane6634]

Great tips thanks 😊

[@LoveTheBasics]

Thank you!

[@endeavour420]

Great info thanks

[@LoveTheBasics]

Of course!

[@gemmachim514]

dont usually comment but thank you for this video, this was super helpful, , my lense is small and i had a problem that the dead cat is always in the shot, but the first hack solved everything and might prevent me from buying a smaller windscreen. So thank you

[@ArabianDork]

this is really underrated

[@LoveTheBasics]

Well thank you 🙏🏻

[@ArabianDork]

LoveTheBasics fr bro youre amazing

[@VinizioOficial]

not at all, idk the first tip and my mic was always wiggling

[@LoveTheBasics]

Thanks man!

[@LoveTheBasics]

Just put the wire in the slots

[@OpenFilmmaker]

I laughed so hard at incessed!! Nice video! Helped me out! Liked and subbed.

[@LoveTheBasics]

Ha! I’m glad I could help

[@MrArjanvT]

Nice vid! Quick question, what record volume do you put your camera on when this mic is attached? I have an a6400-VideoMicro combo aswell. Thanks!

[@griffinmusicinc]

LMAO. That outro though. Hilarious!

[@user-sr7fo5fe6x]

Love the editing. Subbed.

[@LoveTheBasics]

Thank you!

[@uncommonanom]

Also very helpful content!

[@SantosChronicles]

These are great tips. I wish I listened to you before I used mine. Would have helped a lot especially the wire clamp.

[@LoveTheBasics]

Did you get rid of yours??

[@SantosChronicles]

LoveTheBasics I kept it because it did sound great even on super windy days (50-60 mph). My problem was the cat kept getting on my view. Clipping the cord would have solved that. I do love the mic.

[@LoveTheBasics]

Ohh yea I can see your issue. Yea clamping down that wire definitely would help.

[@SantosChronicles]

LoveTheBasics Glad I found your channel brother.

[@therealkiwiandpineapple]

Great tips 👍🏼

[@LoveTheBasics]

Thank you!

[@paripearlproduction2256]

Thanks Bro

[@Pertamax7-HD]

Super hack

[@LoveTheBasics]

Some hacks right here

[@mylifepart2]

did NOT - know about that ridge thing...that is used to hold the wire so the microphone is not wiggling away when you walk and talk...THANKS....jeez...didnt know that...didnt even see it...thanks man...appreciate it...

[@richsalsa4u]

Good job bro!!

[@LoveTheBasics]

Thank you thank you

[@LoveTheBasics]

Thank you! I’m glad I could help

[@k0r0sh1ya]

Incested. LOL. That cracked me up. Thanks for the tips anyways. It really helped me make a decision to purchase the Rode Micro

[@tonynikon]

I just received my Rode Video Micro that I bough on eBay for $45.00. I want to use it on my GoPro Hero5 and Nikon P7800. I wanted something small and compact. Your video was the first one I just watched after unpacking the whole thing. Thanks for sharing!

[@LoveTheBasics]

Thanks for watching! Hopefully you enjoy the microphone!

[@BriansRepublic]

bahahahha Incesesed...great video my dude thanks for the tips will be picking one up today yay!

[@LoveTheBasics]

Uh ha ha thank you

[@SuberExtraMan]

Thanks for the video man. Can you tell plz - how's the mic performing on mid distances like 6-8 feet?

[@LoveTheBasics]

Not good at all. Slightly better than the camera mic

[@SuberExtraMan]

LoveTheBasics, I was about to buy it - thanks for the reply.

[@MadlyNathan]

Amazing tips, don’t think any other video would have the same tips with how unknown these techniques are

[@LoveTheBasics]

I appreciate it! Thank you!

[@SamSights]

great tips I wish Rode told me about this stuff

[@LoveTheBasics]

Well that’s why I’m here!

[@kinsas]

We have the new IDOLCAM VlogStar V2 shotgun/Lavalier microphone in one, very compact, can we send you one for the next mic review you are doing?

[@arnoldvanharmelen5381]

Great tips! thank you very much. I am surprised that Rode does not communicate these themselves.

[@LoveTheBasics]

I’m glad I could help

[@mkphotofilm]

@@LoveTheBasics Yes! They should employ you. These are actually made here in Australia. Aussie company but very poor after service it seems.

[@LoveTheBasics]

Why thanks

[@lucascallahan7869]

Thanks! I was really looking for some help, because my audio was really messing up.

[@LoveTheBasics]

Well hopefully I helped!

[@lucascallahan7869]

@@LoveTheBasics you did! It made the audio sound perfect! You saved, me from returning the camera completely 😂 I'm not new to cameras, but I have never used a shotgun mike of any kind before, so I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Thanks once again!!!

That’s so good to hear!!
