- Does the VideoMic GO need a battery?
- No. It draws power from the camera through the 3.5 mm connection, so there is nothing to charge or switch on.
- Will it work with a smartphone?
- Only with a phone that has a 3.5 mm mic input, or with a suitable adapter. There is no USB or Lightning connection on the mic.
- What is in the box?
- The microphone, its camera shoe mount and cable, plus the mini windjammer in this kit.
- Is it worth it over a built-in camera mic?
- Yes for most shooters. It is directional and cuts handling and surrounding noise, which built-in mics pick up.
- Does it work with a DSLR or mirrorless camera?
- Yes, on any camera with a 3.5 mm mic input. It mounts on a standard shoe and plugs straight in.
- How does it compare with the VideoMic Pro?
- The Pro adds a gain switch, bass roll-off and a battery, which give more control over levels. The GO is lighter and simpler, with no settings to manage.
