What a great personality you have. I love the fact the founder & owner of Rode Microphones left a comment on your post, fixed the problem, and fired the "dick head" with horrible customer service. Employees like him hurt businesses!

Well if you just bought it, maybe test for the problems I talked about. They may have fixed it by now!

If u keep it on auto its using tour cameras mic not a plugged in mic. Then play around with the DB settings while u talk and make sure ur vlice stays around 11db -13 db

[@jonaboehme3621]

I need to say, as a really really REALLy small youtube that I am, I enjoyed this video so much! Espacially since you are so authentic and casual, it honestly motivated me to step up and introduce vlogging back in my life after being to embarrassed to continue the last time. Thank you man :)

[@JoshWiniarski]

Thanks so much for sharing Jona, I love hearing how my videos can have a positive impact! We're all just working to get better on this platform, you should see some of my early vlogs, they were baaaaaaaaaaad. Best of luck with your channel!

[@joshuajesenek]

Viel Spass ^^

[@rejectminority]

Hey Josh, I'm not sure if anyone has pointed out. But do pay attention to the polar pattern of any mics before purchasing and see if it fits to your needs. The Video Mic Go has a supercardioid pattern, which picks up sound from the front and back of the mic whereas the VideoMicro has a cardioid pattern which picks up only at the front! So it depends on what kind of focal length u plan to shoot and if u want to sacrifice distance with sounds coming from the back!

[@AvantionTour]

What was the "fix" Peter Freedman announced? Has anything changed to the better? Please give us an Update. Thanks.

[@shahana_style]

Excellent review. Seriously. This is the kind of review I want to see. Actual usage. Thank you!

[@JoshWiniarski]

You're very welcome!

[@ArchitectRussell]

I have the same problem. I bought the go thinking it would be better and every time I use it out side I get wind noise. Considering it’s my first shotgun mic it’s really put me off using them and I’ve been using a lav mic all the time which is a pain.

[@mscottjohnson3424]

I got one to do in-studio recording. I had a little panic when I saw this video title, but wind is not an issue where I'm recording. I may end up getting a new mic down the road, but for my channel, which I'm just starting, it's sounding like I didn't make a terrible choice with the Videomic Go.

[@georgeyoung1591]

Josh, I, like many others rely on KZbin reviews to help with informed purchases. I am so glad I found this video for several reasons. First of all, your information was perfect, clearly demonstrating in action and not by just reading specs or using in-studio tests. Second, though it was a bit long - you were very entertaining and made the review totally enjoyable. I'm not sure where I'd edit anything out, as this was well worth repeated watchings. Thanks for helping to educate us!

[@JoshWiniarski]

Thanks for the thoughtful comment George! I'm not on KZbin to be a salesman, so I try to be as un-biased as possible with videos like this!

[@rdcoff]

Thanks, I'll check out the Micro mike. I'm glad you pointed out the business about the rear noise. -Rob

[@NPrescott]

I think the snow added to the excitement of the video! :D I'm glad you made this video because I was about to pick one of those up! That would not work at all for my workflow. Awesome video as always!! :D

[@JoshWiniarski]

Yeah, it's not a bad microphone, but unless I'm overlooking something, it seems like the VideoMicro is just much better all-around! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@allanthompson9695]

Interesting. I've just bought one of these go's and I haven't experienced the problem you are talking about YET but your video was useful to be mindful of it before it's too late so to speak. My problem is the led isn't working on the back, with either the 750d or the 6d. The mic itself works fine, hence looking for other feedback on my problem, but you know youtube, you look for something and find something else useful, so thanks for the video. Cheers

[@JoshWiniarski]

No problem, maybe they've fixed it since I bought mine!

[@JoshWiniarski]

Anyone else had this problem? How did you fix it???

[@JayMullen]

I wish you'd done a blow test or wind test on the one you recommended so I could see that in action. No video review on the compact either. Guess I'll try my luck with the compact one instead of the go though. So, thanks.

[@JoshWiniarski]

Sorry, in hindsight I can see why that would've been helpful, however, I don't think you'll be disappointed!

[@KylanHurt]

Glad I tested this mic before putting effort into shooting video. It definitely does not pass the litmus test.

[@michael_1601]

Can I use the Mic go with my phone? Will it work?

[@finn3588]

I love my videomicro! I always thought the audio quality was better then the other rode mics. Also what lens do you use for vlogging?

[@JoshWiniarski]

The VideoMicro DEFINITELY seems better than the VideoMic Go, it's an incredible little microphone! Currently just using an 18-55mm STM. I wouldn't mind getting a few more mm on the wide end, but it gets the job done.

[@ryangreen7592]

Thanks for the info man! Planning on picking up a Canon M50 creator kit which includes the Rode videomic GO and wasn't sure if I should also invest in an additional mic with better quality/wind resistance. Keep up the great content!

[@JoshWiniarski]

Glad I could help! If they arent charging you too much for the accessories, it might be an alright option, but I'd definitely say the micro is better!

[@jpcreativeimagery]

Hey Josh, we share the same great name :) Useful video, recently got the videomic go in a camera package with the Panasonic G85 (yes..i've switched from Canon to M4/3) so now i have to sell some great Canon gear but i noticed the Rangers Tripod your carrying and wanted to know your thoughts on it. It's a bit short for me at 5' 11'' and i don't really care for the center column or the plastic tightening holsters in the columns that i think are prone to breakage (recently got on lightning deal and am debating returning). How long have you been using it and what are thoughts on it? How has it held up under abuse? Thanks!

[@JoshWiniarski]

Hey Josh, you have an incredible name! So I've been using my Ranger's tripod since September (just over 5 months to be exact) and have definitely gotten a fair amount of use out of it in that time. It is a shorter tripod. In fact it's sort of awkwardly short because if they made it just a bit taller people could use it without hunching over, but it's not short enough to be marketed as a dedicated "compact tripod." That being said, I'm a huge fan of the flip-locks so far. Yes they are plastic but they are really quick to setup! I was using a friend's tripod last weekend and it had the metal twist-locks and man that thing was a pain to setup and take down. Every adjustment probably took 3 times as long (granted we're talking in the seconds so maybe setup time would be 45-60 seconds instead of 15-20 but coming from the flip locks it was annoying). That being said, the ranger tripod is a good height for most instances and i love how small it folds up. I wouldn't use it for portraits because a lot of people will be taller than it and you'll end up looking up their nose, but really no complaints. Going on 6 months without any physical issues at all so for the price I'm happy. I don't baby any of my gear, but that being said I'm not trying to break it either. I expect to be using it at least for another 18 months or so. If you want to see what I mean with the flip locks, just undo all 3 on each leg with a good smack, pull them down, and lock them. Then go up to the body twist locks and twist them, adjust them, and twist them back and imagine having to do that 3 times per leg. Especially if I'm making a video (for example this one I would bike, set it up, take a timelapse or short clip, and then pack it up and move locatons) I wanna be fast! Hope this helps, I could have just made a whole video instead of writing this novel haha!

[@ladanagl3462]

Hi Josh, I have watched 1000’s of hours of KZbin videos, but I have to say I really love your style. You are an inspiration and this is my first comment to any videos I watched. Stay cool and natural as you are in this video and thank you for the comparison info. Really great 👍🏻

[@JoshWiniarski]

Wow, thank you so much! I'll keep doing my thing :)

[@PineaTech]

Great video! I just returned the Videomic go and bought the Pro version, not because of the wind though, it's just not handling well with WIFI interfere and ruined my clips. Glad to know the micro version works, might get that in the future for a second mic!

[@JoshWiniarski]

Glad I could help, and I'm sure you'll love the pro version! Yeah, there's nothing worse than having clips ruined from something as silly as a poor mic (trust me I know the feeling), i'm sure the pro version won't have that problem!

[@sandrajohnson2489]

I'm glad I found your video. I am about to do a vlog about the history of the town I live in which has seen the Revolutionary war and the Civil war. I always read and watch reviews before purchasing a lot of things and your video sold me on the small microphone. I hadn't considered wind blowing from the back of a mic but obviously it certainly does.

[@jgarzo]

sandra johnson that would be a fun video to watch. I love city history

[@texastierra]

Hi Josh, I saw on a video sometime ago that a person resolved this problem by adding another dead cat (which had extra) to the back of the microphone and it stopped the wind from getting to the back of the microphone. Maybe just adding a fussy material to the back might help. Thanks for making this video. It helped a lot with deciding which microphone to buy.

[@JoshWiniarski]

I'm glad someone found a workaround, however, I still feel that if Rode makes a deadcat specifically for this microphone, it should fix this problem. You shouldn't have to spend money on a deadcat AND make your own. Glad the video helped though :)

[@hamiltonblanza]

than you for the info

I've got the VideoMicro ...its a great little mic. I haven't found a reason to get a larger microphone that does essentially the same thing. I do plan to buy a 2nd VideoMicro. I want to have front and back audio on my vlogging rig, and I think I can do it with that.

[@JoshWiniarski]

Oh wow what an interesting idea! Sometimes I flip my mic around if I'm not pointing the camera at myself, let me know how this idea works out!

[@iancraig]

The VideoMic Go has another issue as well. It reacts incredibly easily to electrical imterference which is a sound killer that randomly attacks when you aren’t aware of it. For instance, if you have a mobile phone in your pocket, or wifi close by.

[@JoshWiniarski]

Oh huh very interesting. I do remember once hearing some weird electrical sounds while using the mic but I had no idea why. Thank for sharing!

[@glebbzverev]

Josh, exelent review. It's like an adveture film ))) Can you tell, what was the original mic for the review, before you swith it to the VMG riding your bike?

[@JoshWiniarski]

The other mic used is the Rode Video-Micro (link in description as "shotgun microphone" if you need help finding it). It has nearly identical quality as the videomic go, but is cheaper, comes with the windscreen, and works 10x better in the wind. It's my personal recommendation for anyone looking for a shotgun microphone!

[@JosephJMcAllister]

Wow! Good review! That makes a lot of scene!

[@matus-danko]

I 100% solved this issue by putting a drop of fast curing epoxy glue into the gap just between jack input and the body. Seal the jack hole before doing so, so you won't screw up your mic.

[@JoshWiniarski]

Good to know, thanks for sharing!

[@itsjustperry1414]

I’ve got a quick question for you, I can’t seem to get my rode video micro to work at all. It picks up no audio. I have it connected to my iPhone 8 with the sc7 cable and I think it’s just junk at this point.

[@JoshWiniarski]

Sorry to hear that, unfortunately it's tough to say what the problem is. I would try it out on as many devices as possible (for instance if you have family or friends with other types of phones) to try to narrow down what the problem is. I've never used a shotgun mic with my phone, but I did a quick search and it sounds like you have the right adapter. Is it the licensed rode adapter? Is there any chance you could try the mic on a camera? You can always get the iphone specific mic, but if you get the micro to work then you can use it on a camera as well if you ever upgrade. Wish I could be of more help, hope you find a solution!

[@itsjustperry1414]

So now I'm gonna ditch this mic and go for the smaller one.

That'd probably solve it! The tricky part though is that it needs to enclose the back and front of the mic. My biggest gripe is that the windscreen they sell specifically for this microphone doesn't do this which is rather annoying.

[@FilmingAustralia1623]

Thats not true ive used mine in the wind and had no problems at all

[@DomnicG]

Well done, Dude! I almost bought Rode VideoMic Go.

[@JoshWiniarski]

Glad I could help! As far as I can tell there really isn't any reason to get the go over the micro.

[@DomnicG]

@@JoshWiniarski After a little digging on KZbin, I went for the MOVO VXR10, which is even better yet cheaper than Rode VideoMicro according to DSLR Video Shooter on some camera. This my first mic, and I am really excited about it!

[@JoshWiniarski]

@@DomnicG Well congrats, it sounds like you're 2 steps ahead of the mic you were going to buy haha, lemme know how it works for ya!

[@bluetvsports-fitness]

I Was ready to buy and after your video i regert

[@JoshWiniarski]

Sorry to burst your bubble, I just want people to get the best microphones they can and not make the mistakes I've made!

@@JoshWiniarski Yes, i make a lot of mistakes and spend money for nothing. you help me a lot. Thanks

You're welcome!

The answer of Rode is unacceptable. Thank you very much for your test & sharing.

[@JoshWiniarski]

Not a problem!

Cool city

[@JoshWiniarski]

Thanks, I think so too!

[@vertix6375]

So it's not good because im goingg to purchase it🥶

[@sanjaysingha8911]

Rode video mic go is not a good mic for sure. There's a huge problem of static noise. There's most of the time static noise. Also the noise cancellation is not good!!

Hhahahhah such dedication, you deserve a thousand subs just for this video. AND made up my mind about these two. Is there any difference in distance sensitivity to the subject? L+S

[@kaungkhanthein1054]

I just watched this after buying the rode mic go lol.

[@JoshWiniarski]

You're supposed to watch it BEFORE haha. Maybe they've fixed it by now, hope it works out for you!

[@jott3769]

It seems like im the only person with this problem. The windscreen on my VideoMic Go does not stay on for shit.

[@mjtechdad]

I had the same problem. My solution was to get a BOYA.

[@JoshWiniarski]

Ah gotcha. It really is unfortunate, I feel like this issue probably disappoints a lot of buyers...

[@mjtechdad]

To be honest, I was not expecting much. A mic with a pre amp will always perform better. Unfortunately I’m not willing to pay $200 for I mic yet. Long story short, you get what you pay for. It is a great mic but you can’t expect it to be perfect.

[@JoshWiniarski]

@@mjtechdad Fair enough

[@mjtechdad]

Great channel btw. I like your videos very much. I find them informative, entertaining, and very useful. Thank you for putting in the time and effort. I know can be hard and overwhelming at time.

[@JoshWiniarski]

My pleasure, thanks for the support, I appreciate it!

[@RodGibsonMusic]

I would've finished watching this vid, but that background tune is awfully annoying man. Still bought the rode videomic go.

[@hanlinkog]

3:58 so this is a dank Meme compilation now or what?

OMG cut to the chase

Sorry about that. Since publishing I've realized this video is definitely longer than it needs to be!

Josh, ya gotta know Peter Freedman is a false account right? ; ) I only ask because you pinned it. EDIT: Or am I missing the joke. ;P r/wooosh

[@JoshWiniarski]

Oh I assume it is a fake account. But I can't think of why anyone would make the account, and write such a detailed response while knowing of all the issues regarding RF interference, wind noise etc. just to make the company Rode seem better. At the very least, it's the most interesting comment on the video, and I was interested to see how others would react so I pinned it.
