Rode RØDE VideoMic GO II Helix | Ultra-Compact On-Camera Shotgun Microphone with Both 3.5mm and USB Outputs for Filmmaking, Content Creation, Podcasting and Video Calls (3rd Gen)

Dude yeah! Works great, keeps the base in my voice present in recordings (unlike other budget options). Great price! I’ve bee using it on my Sony ZV-E10 mark ii and it’s been perfect for my recordings.

One of the best pieces of sound equipment I’ve ever owned. No matter what I attach it to it is a massive upgrade. I’ve used it w/ iPhones, Canon R-Series cameras, etc., in a multitude of situations & it is very compatible, the perfect size for tight, portable scenarios and is a BREEZE to set up. Some may not want to dump a c-note to get this kind of return, but you won’t be disappointed. Never had one negative experience with it.

I have used the Wireless Go 2 mic and the Rode NT1-A studio microphone, and I find the RØDE VideoMic GO II to be a perfect choice for my needs, which include vlogging on YouTube and some podcasts. It is plug-and-play, significantly reducing the time it takes for me to set up and start recording. The microphone is lightweight and delivers excellent sound quality, with a slightly bassy tone that can easily be adjusted with EQ. It’s incredibly user-friendly and compatible with any device, making it very portable. The VideoMic GO II can be mounted using a cold shoe or the quarter-inch thread underneath, and it features a great shock mount. Additionally, it operates without a battery, adding to its convenience. I would recommend this microphone to anyone looking for an on-camera option. It can also be used with a computer or a phone for calls, which is great; you just need the right cable for phone use. Priced reasonably, it’s a fantastic option, especially if you can find a used one.

Slight learning curve getting it adjusted, however the sound quality is impeccable! Highly recommend

I used to use a more expensive Rode mic that I got in 2013. I didn't want to spend $200+ this time so I tried this out. In my opinion, it works just as well as more expensive mics I've used. Great voice isolation and background canceling. Not perfect and may sometimes require a little tweaking in post. But this is a great mic that replaced my more experience one
