This mic is great, except if you need to make some settings changes while on the fly. The dip switches require a toothpick or something similar to flip them. These switches are also located inside the battery compartment and require removal of the battery. Over all great mic just know what your settings will be before you leave the house.

***Updated – This review is for the VideoMic PRO. For some reason ebay asked me to write a review thinking I bought the $150 VideoMic. I realized this afterwards.*** I'm a video production professional, and where I work we use boom mics that easily cost in the thousands of dollars. I bought a Rode VideoMic Pro for a project that I recently did outside of work. I was a little hesitant to buy this at first, but only a little because of the overwhelming positive reviews I kept reading or viewing about it online. And since it was about $200 w/ free shipping, I figured it was my best bet. Well, it wasn't really a bet at all. It was a no brainer in hindsight, because this microphone proved to be fantastic. I would feel completely comfortable using my Canon DSLR with this mic, side by side with the $15,000 Sony camera and booms we use at work – and one of the booms we have where I work is top notch. The VideoMic sounds great, it's easy to use, and very affordable for the quality.Read full review
The Actual Mic I bought is the Rode VideoMic Pro VMP Shotgun Microphone. The Rode video mics are known for their quality. Purchased for use with Canon t4i DSLR and on a boom pole. The mic has great features a dB +20 boost and -10dB reduction. Very nice quality mono sound - I Usually use a lavalier for interviews but will use this also. Easy to use just plug in and go. For events and spontaneous interviews and sound it is perfect. Also great price point. I am going to pick up a dead cat wind muff for it also, essential for outside filming.
This thing works well. It’s a bit heavier than I expected. This mic has its own power, so you always have to power it up (and I forget sometimes). Also, the sensitivity adjustment can only be accessed by taking the battery out and using a very very small screwdriver or other tool.

I would not say it was "better" than I expected. In my business we use high end products for broadcast. We decided to "try" the Rode with one of our video camera. It does sound good but not comparable to our our broadcast shotgun mics.(long tube). It does sound a little tinny but easily controlled on a mixer or in post mix down. I am quite pleased with its quality. I give it 4 stars.
