Comments about Rode Stereo VideoMic Camera-Mounted Stereo Microphone:

This mic produces excellent quality stereo sound. It has a very solid body. The size is a little larger than I expected and a little heavier, but still a great product.

I use this mic with Canon Rebel t2i (EOS 550d) to record live classic concerts. You can find examples of the live organ concerts recordings (EOS 550d+StereoVideoMic) at http://youtube.com/organmsu. The only problem is the noise, which canon preamp generates. Still, the sound is very deep and rich, so is the sensitivity. For me, the quality is sufficient for youtube, besides that there's little choice - external preamp+MagicLantern is not an option for me, too much bother. Things which are not so great it captures every noise from the sides (as it's not directional), so you have to stand as close as possible.

I use this on my Nikon D7000 and it works great directly into the camera. I also use it by plugging it directly into my Zoom H1 line in input. Either way is great.

Outside, throw on the dead kitten that comes with it and your ready to go.

I've only had it a couple of weeks now and so far can't find anything wrong with it.

This Mic has excellent performance and low noise; however, I purchased it to use with my Nikon D7000 and discovered the Nikon external mic pre-amp input stage is too noisy for an external mic connection. I initially tested the mic with an Apogee Duet 2 with Wave Lab 7 and found the mic to be very low noise with excellent stereo performance. The Nikon D7000 internal mic has very little noise; however, connecting a high quality external mic is not an option due to it's poor external mic input noise performance.

Works awesome in my video interviews. The dead kitten should be worn at all times because it cancels out mostly all unwanted noise. I say "mostly" because if you're on a bus, ummm... you're gonna hear it in the background. I love the mic, its a great upgrade from the VideoMic! I've used it sidestage to record live bands and it gets some clear stuff, just depends on how "heavy/hardcore" the band is.

So far I am very happy with this mic. I am using it with Panasonic HDC-TM900 camcorder and there is only one small problem. When installed with Windbreaker - there is interference in max zoom position. Solved this with installing hot shoe extension - this lifted the mic a bit and no more problems.

For recording a concert, it's perfect. For a train going by, it's perfect. But for a river rolling bye, it is no better than the on-camera mic because directional sensitivity means little in that case. Great at a party too.

I have used the stereo Rode VideoMic to tape an indoor musical production. The sound is clear and doesn't appear to have much distortion. I am pleased with how it works. The camera prompts you to make sure you turn on the external microphone. One does need an adaptor to make it work.

I used this attached to a 5d Mark II at a concert. Within 3 hours of usage, the mount was loose and getting worse. The connection point is aluminum, and not engineered for an active environment.

It's too bad too, as the mic itself was great. I just need it to handle the same level of activity as my 580 flash has taken over the past years without difficulty.

I returned it.

I use this to record audio of live music concerts, not The Rolling Stones but rather music school (of rock). I use a Canon 5D mark 2 HDSLR camera, and
purchased this based on other reviews that commented on it's effectiveness in such settings and it fully lived up to my expectations. It is solidly built with aluminum frame - feels like a "pro" piece of kit. It is somewhat expensive, however quality of audio picked up by the mic, and construction quality seem to be in line with price. It is not a light weight mic, other mics may be, but this one is 1960s era weight. It feels like something that could take a hit and not be damaged. Overall this mic is of solid construction but more importantly delivers high quality audio recording capability to an HDSLR camera.

superb sound quality

use this with panasonic HMC40 for recording live music.

nice clear mic with good dynamic range. used it outdoors during band practice, inside a gym, and indoors in a home. none of these are acoustically ideal, but the rode mic performed well given the situation.

i like the 9V battery because i can carry some spares and not worry about running out of juice.

I bought this mic to aid in capturing videos of my wife's bands live performances, and I must say, I think it was a good decision. It caused me to spend a little more than I wanted to for the whole camcorder package, but the results are sounding very good so far. I've tried capturing videos in the past, and the bottleneck has always been the audio quality. The small, built-in mics on today's cameras are too easily overpowered by the audio levels at live rock music shows, but the combo of this mic with a camera that has the ability to attenuate the incoming audio signal worked out beautifully! the mic, itself, also has a high-pass filter option, that helps attenuate low frequency sounds, and there is also a -10dB attenuation switch that helped bring the audio into a range that could be recorded with good quality. The only negative thing I can say is that, with a wind screen attached, the wind screen is somewhat visible in wide angle shots, but this is probably more to do with the mounting setup on the camera than the mic itself. I would definitely recommend this mic to someone looking to record stereo sound at live music performances.

It has great sound quality for it's price. And a good sound range. Couldn't complain about it.

Works well with DSLR and isolation is a plus. DSLR is a different animal from a shoulder mount camera and isolating the mic helps immensely. You will need to purchase a screw in hot shoe mount.

Comments about Rode Stereo VideoMic Camera-Mounted Stereo Microphone:

Even with cameras with no audio level controls (like the Canon 7D), this mic manages to deliver amazing sound quality. The size and weight are minimal, the shock mount is excellent. My only minor quibble is the non-detachable audio cable, which is the only weak link in an otherwise rugged design. While it's no substitute for shotgun or lav mics close to subject, it at least gives usable audio as backup and to sync double system audio much more easily.

Worked fine but wasn't suitable for our camera. [...]

I use this product mainly on Reception footages on weddings. It will filter loud music and no more audio clipping for my video camera sound recording.

Comments about Rode Stereo VideoMic Camera-Mounted Stereo Microphone:

This little mic is super easy to use, very light, mounts easily onto your hot shoe and records great stereo sound. I use it for my Canon 5D Mark II, and since built0in mic is horrible, I needed to buy something more powerful. RODE solved all my sound issues and I am very happy with the purchase!

This mic is very good.It is easy to use and can make you look and sound more professional. However the hiss and the noise takes away the hype.
This mic is great and looks awesome!
