If you're shooting mobile video and want better audio than what your phone provides—or if you need to record VO or ADR on the go—the Rode VideoMIC Me is worth your consideration. This is a shotgun mic that plugs right into a smartphone's 3.5mm TRRS headphone jack, letting you record quality audio in the process.
The mic focuses the audio capture on what's directly in front of the capsule thanks to the directional polar pattern. It's primarily intended for use with compatible smartphones and devices that sport 3.5mm TRRS connections. The mic comes with a flexible mounting bracket as well as a furry windscreen for achieving a better sound in windy conditions.

Rode VideoMic Me Reviews
Rode Video Mic Me review
I play and record many instruments and need an external mic for my iPhone. I chose the Rode Video Mic Me for it's price and I'm finding it definitely improves the audio quality on my iPhone recordings.
Really makes a difference!
I was amazed when I popped this little gem onto my Samsung Note9 mobile phone. What a difference it makes in recordings, just as the reviews say. Clear, crisp, with a good volume level. I think I'm going to continue using it with the dead cat. It goes on a bit awkwardly, but once it's on, it stays. I haven't used it in a big wind, but by the way it fits snugly, with a small elastic band to hold it in place, I'm guessing a big wind won't be an issue. Great find and reasonably priced.
Wow, sounds real good.
That's what people tell me after I plug it into my phone. So, first I start my conversation without it plugged in, then during my conversations I tell my friend, Hang on a sec...how's it sound now. The difference apparently couldn't be more obvious. Fantastic fix for my iPhone 6.
Perfect
Exactly what I needed.
Excited to Give This!
My husband is going to love this mic for his birding adventures. I’ve tried it out on the sly, and it’s going to raise his ability to capture birdsong quite a bit from what he has been using. He wanted an ultra portable mic because he has really pared down his birding equipment—camera slung over one shoulder, binocs over the other, phone in pocket. He even got rid of his backpack; hence his interest in a mic this size. This is one present he isn’t going to put on his “gift shelf” to molder away in obscurity.
So much in such a small package
The VideoMic ME has really raised the bar for the audio in my podcasts and has made a huge difference for my online conference calls too! It's small, convenient for remote/outdoor work and the included 'deadcat' turns a gale into a whisper. I love it!
