Our take on the RØDE VideoMic GO Lightweight On-Camera Microphone with Mini Windjammer Kit

The RØDE VideoMic GO is a lightweight shotgun microphone that mounts on a camera and plugs into a 3.5 mm mic input. It needs no battery and has no on/off switch or gain control, so it works as soon as it is connected. The kit adds a mini windjammer for outdoor recording. It suits beginners and run-and-gun shooters who want better-than-built-in audio without settings, though it gives up the gain and bass controls that step-up models offer.

Best forVloggers and creators recording to a camera or phone with a 3.5 mm mic jackBeginners who want plug-and-play audio without batteries or settingsOutdoor shooters who need the included wind protectionTravel and run-and-gun kits where low weight matters
Pros
  • No battery and no switches: plug in and record
  • Lightweight, so it adds little to a camera rig
  • Directional pickup rejects sound from the sides and rear
  • Standard 3.5 mm TRS output fits most cameras and recorders
  • Included mini windjammer helps in light wind
Cons
  • No gain control or on/off switch, so levels depend on the camera
  • Needs a camera or phone with a 3.5 mm mic input; no USB or Lightning
  • Not the quietest option for very soft sources
  • Wind protection is basic compared with a full blimp

What reviewers say

Owners treat the VideoMic GO as an easy first step up from a camera's built-in mic. They like the plug-and-play setup and light weight, and note that it is directional and needs no battery. Some find its output level modest and its wind handling limited without extra protection.

What people mention
  • SetupPraisedOwners say it works as soon as it is plugged into the camera, with no battery or menu changes.
  • Sound qualityPraisedReviewers find it clearly better than built-in camera mics for speech and ambient recording.
  • WeightPraisedUsers like that it is light enough to keep on a camera or gimbal without balancing issues.
  • Output levelMixedSome owners say the signal is quiet on certain cameras and needs the camera's gain raised.
  • Wind noiseMixedThe included windjammer helps in light breeze, but stronger wind still gets through.
  • ControlsCriticisedBuyers miss a gain switch or bass roll-off, so all adjustments must be made on the camera.

Questions and answers

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.
