Review on 🎥 Rode VideoMic Camera Mount Shotgun Microphone: Enhanced Audio Quality with Rycote Shock Mount by Kim Navarro

The sound gets better, but not as much as we'd like. If your subject is about 30 cm away from the microphone, everything is fine. Anything over 2 feet and the sound quality is unacceptable. Is it better than built in? Of course, but the built-in features are so terrible that everything can be improved. That's fine for a family video and the like, but why spend money on it? A preamp will likely help you upgrade your microphone, or better yet, get a separate audio recorder.
