Our take on the RØDE VideoMic GO II

The RØDE VideoMic GO II is a compact shotgun-style condenser mic that works three ways: on a camera via its 3.5 mm TRS output, and into a phone or computer over USB-C. It has a supercardioid pattern, needs no battery, and has no on/off or gain controls, so it is plug-and-play. It sits below RØDE's Wireless GO and VideoMic NTG lines: those add onboard controls, wireless or XLR, while this one keeps to a single mono capsule and a simple plug-in design.

Best forVloggers and creators recording to a phone or cameraPodcasters and streamers who want a simple USB micRun-and-gun video shooters who need a small on-camera micBuyers who want no batteries and no setup
Pros
  • Works over both 3.5 mm TRS and USB-C, so one mic covers camera, phone and computer
  • No battery or charging: it draws power from the device
  • Supercardioid pattern rejects sound from the sides and rear
  • Small and light enough for a camera hot shoe or a phone rig
  • RØDE app and firmware support add flexibility on USB
Cons
  • No gain, volume or mute controls on the mic itself
  • Mono only, so no stereo capture
  • No XLR output, which rules out pro mixers and interfaces
  • No Lightning option, so older iPhones need an adapter
  • No stand or clip in the box

Questions and answers

Does the VideoMic GO II need a battery?
No. It is powered by the device it is plugged into, over USB-C or through the camera's mic input.
Can I use it with an iPhone?
Not directly over Lightning. It has USB-C and 3.5 mm TRS outputs, so older Lightning iPhones need an adapter.
Is it stereo?
No. It is a mono mic with a supercardioid pattern, aimed at voice and close-up sound.
What comes in the box?
The mic itself, with no stand or clip included. You supply the mount, cable and any adapter you need.
Does it work with a camera and a computer?
Yes. Use the 3.5 mm TRS output for a camera and USB-C for a computer or phone.
How does it compare with the VideoMic NTG?
The NTG adds a 3.5 mm headphone output, onboard gain and a safety channel, and it can run over USB. The GO II is smaller and simpler, with no controls and a mono output.
