Godox VD-MIC Overview
Ultracompact and Durable
The VD-Mic is just 3.1" long and weighs only 1.4 ounces, making it a stealthy companion for your camera or mobile device. The durable aluminum construction helps to fight against RF disturbance.
Directional Sound Pickup
Utilizing a cardioid polar pattern, the VD-Mic focuses on sounds in front of it while reducing distracting noises behind it. This makes it well suited for use in noisy environments and ambience-heavy spaces.
Extended Highs and Strong Output
The VD-Mic has an extended frequency response (100 Hz to 20 kHz) and high sensitivity, allowing it to yield detailed audio whether you're recording dialogue, instruments, or nature sounds.
Plug-and-Play Operation
With no need to change or charge batteries, the VD-Mic runs on plug-in power for enhanced convenience. Record quickly and never miss an important moment.
Universal Compatibility
The VD-Mic is supplied with two 3.5mm cables—one TRS and one TRS to TRRS—to enable proper connectivity with cameras, camcorders, portable audio recorders, smartphones, and tablets. The cables feature a coiled design and right-angle connectors to maintain neatness in operation.
Rycote Detachable Shockmount
The included Rycote detachable shockmount effectively prevents unwanted vibration noises caused by body movements and device operations.
Furry Windshield for Outdoor Shoots
The artificial fur windshield aids in reducing wind noise while protecting the mic from weather and dust. This is especially helpful when shooting outdoors.

Godox VD-MIC Reviews
Nothing to write home about

This mic is decent for the price, but you still get what you pay for. I'd say it's about on-par with the Rode VideoMicro, and is cheaper, so it's definitely a good value, but overall it's not an enormous improvement over most on-board camera mics (directionality is obviously better, but it's still got a fair amount of self-noise). I got it to use for scratch audio, but am not impressed enough to keep it. Would definitely get the job done for something like vlogging, though!
