Reviewing & testing out the new ultra-compact RODE VideoMicro II. I provide several side-by-side tests outdoors, in the wind, vlogging, and indoors as a voice-over mic. Both mics perform about on par. The key difference is that the VideoMic GO II has USB-C for digital output recording, whereas the VideoMicro II is more compact and only offers 3.5mm output. Because of its size and rugged build, the VideoMicro II might be one of the best vlogging shotgun microphones under $100. The VideoMicro II is the same as the Video Micro II. The naming scheme gets a little confusing though, as the RODE Video Mic GO II is last year's model with USB-C recording.

Incredible comparison! Instead of using a studio to compare, this way ppl can actually hear how it really sounds like. Since ppl that would buy this are almost likely to use it outside instead of a studio. Making most comparisons on KZbin irrelevant tbh lol this by far is the best one yet! AWESOME JOB!!!!!

[@mianorman8721]

This was such a fun day! I'm glad we were able to use the Rode mics to capture it. :)

Big negativ point is that it just got 110db spl instead of 140db on the first gen. That reflect in heavy distortion in windy conditions and also useless for recording loud car audio or drums

Great video. They both lack of bass response making your voice sound thin. I have the video Micro II, but I´m selling it because the Boya BY MM1+ sounds way better and even has a headphone output.

[@anttitapio4145]

USB-C is selling point for me. It's just easier to plug it to recent smartphones and laptops. Soundwise these are almost the same

Rode videomicro 2 doesn't work very well when is wind in my test. The original videomicro it's much better than the new videomicro 2.

[@u2bNeil]

More noise than signal - from the reviewer.

[@allen3158]

why the sound from my videomic go II is so quite, and when I adjust the volume in post, it's sounds terrible

[@ShohagBiswas]

What was the audio level?

[@ChadWork1]

Have you experienced wind getting through the DeadCat on the VideoMicro II? I've seen someone test and retest this and couldn't get the DeadCat to work effectively.

[@gustavoborges9420]

Thats honestly the best review/comparison video I've ever seen, not only about the mics

[@NongovKelvin]

Thanks for the review. It was super helpful. I am about to place an order

[@birdjacobs]

Thanks, they sound nearly identical on a laptop speaker, that's exactly what I needed, excellent video

[@StevenTuu]

Nice video! What color profile are you recording on? is it Slog3?

[@ANGBelgium]

I bought RODE VideoMic GO II after seing your video and I Subscribe. Thx. Greetings from Belgium

[@alexalelex]

Dope comparison

[@martinssau]

Thanks! Do you use some tripod for camera?

[@JasperMakesFilms]

Great video! Thanks for the comparison!

I was searching video reviews for the VideoMic Go and the VideoMicro, as I'm looking for a camera mic for recording Brazilian Samba Bands, and what are the odds? There's one right there on your video! Thank you very much, this was really useful
