Rode Videomic Pro Plus Review with raw untouched raw audio.
We thought we'd give a full review of the Rode VideoMic Pro Plus as it's a microphone we get a lot of questions about. Is it any good and is it worth the high price tag? I'll aim to answer all of these questions for you.
We hope reviewing the Rode VideoMic Pro Plus helps you in your creator journey!

@editorskeys 4 года назад

Thanks very much I’m really glad you enjoyed the video, and really appreciate the comment. Are you getting one of these microphones?

@jdcinematic 4 года назад

@@editorskeys I already have one, and I was using the wrong settings, but not anymore by the way it is posible to connect this mic to the pc and record voice over?

@AlexKnightVancouver 4 года назад

The aggressive 150Hz high pass is definitely useful in very loud outdoor settings with a lot of low frequencies and is clearly audible in your video.

@editorskeys 4 года назад

Hey Alex yes you can defiantly hear a difference with the 150hz, so it's really handy if you do have traffic noise in the background or an annoying diesel generator pumping away in the background!

One of the best reviews I have seen on the Rode mic plus! Which settings would you use while logging on a plane? 150 Hz and standard or boost to to 20 dB? 😊

Hey thanks for the message I’m glad you like the review. If I was recording on a plane I think I might make it a little bit lower as the plane noise is usually quite loud

@ChimaChindaDev 4 года назад

Great video. Which lens did you use and were you really standing just two feet away.

I am looking for a microphone that records audio from farther away. Do you know of any microphones that would be good for this that are still in this price range?

@linhampton4827 4 года назад

Hi I've been using this mic as part of my setup for video recording outdoor football matches for a couple of years. It is a very good, reliable mic. Except, it not only picks up sound directly in front - match noise, but also directly behind, where the camera operator and some spectators will stand so coughs, sneezes and conversations are getting picked up as well. Any suggestions on how to mask/mute the background noise.

@editorskeys 4 года назад

I think I would advise to get a Lavallier microphone, as this will only pick up you rather than everything else around you

@oneonlyxram 3 года назад

I know this is a few years old now, but I am looking for a good vlogging mic, for my car reviews I use rode wireless go with a lav wired in, but when I'm in a car with someone driving and I review them I need a mic to get their voice better being that I don't have 2 wireless mics. I had the diety d4 duo and I thought it would be cool having that second capsule but I find that's not the case.

@IsraelSuperguide 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the review. Can you use this type of mic in conjunction with a wireless if you to interview so you can get clear audio from the wireless and combine with Rode for ambient noise (and reduce it). P.S since it is 3 year old, is there an updated version?

@editorskeys 11 месяцев назад

Yes you can! Simply plug in the microphone to the wireless pack

@quirkrail 2 года назад

Hi. Will it help with buzzing from overhead rail lines, with my micro go it was awful and killed my videos even with a shielded cable.

@lukebsings7342 3 года назад

Hi mate brilliant video. I have a quick question about it’s compatibility with gimbals. Seeing as it’s a shotgun mic, I wanted to use it on the move with my canon EOS m6 mark 2, on a Zhiyun Weebill S gimbal. I tried to attach a small light on top of the camera, and couldn’t manage to balance it. This is a bit of a deal breaker for me, and there isn’t much info out there. Any advice would be brilliant! Keep up the good content!

@editorskeys 3 года назад

Yeah they are a little bit of a pain, it's quite hard to balance a gimbal with anything on top of the camera to be honest! Thanks so much

@XX0ST 3 года назад

Great, informative video, I'm just wondering, I've been shooting stills for over 10 years now, I'm only just getting into video, however as far as audio goes, it's territory I'm not familiar with. I plan on recording stock footage with ambient sounds (similar to the market scene). Would something like the Rode VM Pro+ be idea or are there other suggestions? I'll occasionally be talking to the mic, however I'm happy to use a lavalier mic for those bits. Any advice or directions to material to read would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!

@AtomicPixel 3 года назад

Hey buddy, I think a shotgun mic like this or even the rode micro would be great for your use. Lavalier is handy if it’s an interview or really noisy area. The micro is what I’ve been using for weddings and it’s been great. I’m debating if I need to upgrade! Lol

@XX0ST 3 года назад

@hayattMD 3 года назад

Hey there, should I set my mic +20 for better audio quality?

@editorskeys 3 года назад

Hey Hayatt, great question. The +20 will help if you are quite far away, however it can make the audio sound a little noisy. I would recommend having it set to 0db, and being as close to the mic as possible. If you have any traffic, aircon noise in the back ground switch the flat line switch to the slanted down side and this will reduce those types of noises

Hey Gary, this microphone would be perfect if you want to grab the ambient sounds however unless you are quite close you may find it will pickup a lot of background noise if you need to talk to camera. I'd maybe recommend the Rode Wireless Go for that.

The Rode manual says the Auto Power feature will ONLY work if the camera supplies plug-in power. I tried connecting a mic to a Canon XA20 camcorder and a Canon Vixia HF R72 and the auto power feature did not work. Do Canon camcorders generally not provide plug-in power? Just some DSLR cameras? Who can provide information on this?

@editorskeys 4 года назад

Hey Ed I’m not too sure on this one, I’ve found it worked on our canon m50 and the Sony a7iii we used. Do you have the video mic pro plus

@edpelicula9344 4 года назад

@@editorskeys Yes, I have the Video mic pro plus. I was able to get plug-in power for the Auto Power feature by using a VXLR+ adapter on my XA20. I just shot a project with the pro plus and it seems that it was not as directional as I thought, picking up sounds almost from all directions. I was using the +20 gain and the manual gain just below the halfway mark. The interviews were generally peaking about -10. Was wondering if it might be better to lower the gain to peak about -15, then raise the volume in Premiere Pro later. I was also using the safety feature, although in Premiere Pro it looked like only one audio track.
