Rode VideoMic Pro Plus - Best Settings, Unboxing & Hands-On

What is your favorite Rode mic?

There are many vids attempting to explain the features and functions of this Mic, but yours is by far the best! very good... Very well explained Sir.

How does this mic compare to video pro the non plus?

Thank You

It definitely sounded best with all settings turned off.

Have you looked into balancing your levels. Overall except for the -10Db demo there's a lot of distortion in the sound. This mike should be able to perform better!

Dude. you're doing a video about microphones...and you add on some moronic soundtrack in the background that is as high as your speech track...im just saying..gees almighty.

Thank you!

Maybe one day I'll get to use it.

Thanks for the info man thank you!

Great video - thanks for the demo at the end - really helps!

Bro great video. You just need to make it more short and concise cause it's a little bit boring like this. Keep going tho! :)

Just a tip - If you set the microphone to +20db gain, set your camera input gain to the lowest level. The theory is the pre amp in the mic is going to be far superior with lower noise (Hum and hiss) than with the pre turned up in the camera. At the end of the day, a camera is a camera and the audio, whilst useable, is not going to be as goos as a dedicated audio device. I enjoyed your video though and subscribed to your channel.

Nice video man! Thanks so much for making this! This is my favorite video I've seen on this mic so far! I like how you stayed in the same place (on your balcony) to cycle through the different settings. That is very useful for someone like me! Thanks again!

Thanks for the info

Do you setup this mic with your GoPro? Would love to see how you do it if you use it with the Gopro. If not, what mic do you setup with your GoPro?

thanks! great

Just got the mic, thanks for the tips on how to set it up!

I have this mic. Anyone have a hard time charging it? I left it on charger for like a whole day and it wouldn't charge up. Then took the battery out put it back in and it seemed like it was scratched on the battery. It finally charged but that was very odd for new mic.

you remind me of Barney Stinson from HIMYM :-D

Great video. Look at those bikes!! Do you do triathlons?

Just Picked up this mic, thanks for the tips!

Nice video man... feel that you could have shown us your preferred way to set mic up which would have made this video more better. For Example I generally use: camera sound level at 25%, mic settings 0 dB, 150 high pass filter and in post I use a compressor.

Kind of wish you posted your settings in the description.

Should I use the high frequency when I’m behind the camera I’ve notice my voice is more basey and muffled behind

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?

How much??

Selling mine because it picks up the auto-focus motor on my USM lenses ......wish I watched videos beforehand because I really wouldn't of bought it

Thanks for the review man! I'm shooting a wedding, so I'm looking forward to trying out the mic.

How was the mic? Im comsidering rode pro plus and deity d3 pro. The only one reason i prefer rode is the mic can turn on automatically when camera turn on. So i helps me a lot as a run n gun shoter

i wonder when recording festivals or street parades which are noisy would you leave all the settings off except maybe high frequency boost on when using a dead cat?

Very helpful. Thanks.

Am I able to duplicate the audio channel later, using the safety feature, in order to get equal volume on both sides?
Thanks

My room has quiet and echo and the -10 seems to work quiet well for me, so should I use both the safety channel and high pass filter inside too

The safety channel audio feature was beautifully noticed when you demonstrated it. The difference is clearly audible. I am listening to this video with a Sony WH 1000XM3 headphone. I was finding it hard to understand till you demonstrated that difference. Thanks

thanks

2 minutes showing how to put in the battery...... we got it bro. lmao WOW

Great video
