Boya BY-MM! Vs Rode VideoMicro

This is a great mini gun. Works well for my mobile videography with my DJI Osmo Mobile 2. Compare and compare to Rode VideoMicro and absolutely loved it. The lower frequency response works in its favor as you get better low frequencies and reduce higher background noise like cars driving nearby. It also comes with a TRS and TRRS cable so you can use it with your camera or cellphone. The Rode only comes with TRS and the TRRS I needed was fifteen bucks more making it $75 for everything I needed rather than this mic which is a complete package for less than half the price! The only downside is that the cables feel a bit cheap, but you can use Rode cables if you like coiled cables. If you're considering this or Rode, go for this. I love the Rode but it's the same quality for a lot less price.

Pros
  • Camera and Photo
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others
