I bought the RODE Stereo Videomic Pro & it picks up a lot of handling noise. Does this mic have the same problem?

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend. He hasn't used it much, but he's says so far he has not noticed any handling noise.

You may need to adjust the sensitivity of the amp on camera. I had the same problem. Check your settings to turn down the amp.

I owned the same RODE mic, then exchanged it for this one. I wasn't very happy with this model SHURE and exchanged it for the one with SD card and backlit LCD display. It's pricier, but I'm very pleased with it. In my opionion, the RODE and the VP83 are very similar.

For it's price point I feel this mic works very well. There is handling noise but you really have to spend more to avoid. Worked well in doors at large events with proper level management.

I haven't experienced any handling noise from this mic. It's on a shock mount. Once mounted it's as if it's "floating." Also has a low decibel cut switch that rids of most handling noise if there is any.

I have the Rode video mic pro, purchased before I bought the Shure VP83 (without the on-board recorder - I have a pro camcorder that records uncompressed audio). The Shure has much less handling noise. All around, the Shure is a better mic. It's worth double the price considering its meaningful and significant advantages over the Rode. Finally, as an Amazon purchaser, you have the back up of a stellar on-line retailer for return purposes.

I never try Rode mic, in Shure product manual told it need to turn the camera volume to lowest level then would has best result, hope it can help.

No it is not a dud. It really depends on the application you are using. If you are using garage band you may have to go into the audio midi setup under utilities and create an aggregate device. When you do this it will give you the option to select the rode Podcaster. This is the best mic I have, I have tried cheaper ones like the Blue Snowball and other mini mics. But this one is by far the best.

Are you using Phantom Power that supplies power from the camera to the microphone? Many people have said that using Phantom Power has caused noise.Also, check the adapter and the cable plugs, if the wire is loose or the conductors aren't seated right, this can also cause noise. I have had to replace the 1/4" to 1/8" adapter because the pin was loose and it was causing a screeching noise. I hope this helps!

Sorry for the delay coz this was buried in my inbox. At any rate, that is not normal. The only time you will hear sound is when you are zooming in/out which is normal for camera with manual zoom. There shouldn't be any motorized sound or hissing whatever. I am pretty sure that camera has either a defective mic or faulty video function. HTH and hopefully not too late.

It seems that it does, or at least reduces it. I never seem to notice any interfering noises with the audio mic recording on my video clips. But the mic works much better than one would think. I`m satisfied with the mic while the AF is active. Being outboard of the Camera`s housing, it seems to avoid internal adjustment noises and picks up the ambient sound you desire. But it is a great stereo mic for editing the sound quality for playback. Just give it a try, I`m sure you`ll be pleased.

No. I boaght this becuase i heard good things about it. After only 3 uses it shorted out started getting static noise and 0% voice pick up. Even when it did work, it could barely pick up any thing. My advice: skip it, spend the extra money get a good mic so it will be worth your money at the end of the day and you won't be disappointed like me.

It's a dynamic mic, therefore it will not pick up any outside noise. You can easily talk directly into the microphone or 2 to 6 inches away for best quality without any distortion. If you lean back and talk from couple of feet away, you will still be heard but your voice will sound in the distance. Needless to say this mic is simply awesome and has much clearer sound than my $300 + mics. Get it. You'll love it. Good luck.

It depends on what settings you have set to your computer. I'd definitely recommend headphones or disabling real-time playback of what the mic picks up.

yes it is, I also have another camera (different brand) that does the same thing. I guess the microphone is sensitive to the power zoom.

Not at all, I use mine to stream, Make music, and make YouTube videos and I have noticed no errors with feedback, It is perfectly timed with my video every time i use it (It might be the audio cables that i bought separate but when i first got it i didn't use the chords and it still worked perfect) But my viewers & I love the microphone and have no problems with it, I would get it! (Get a pop filter and scissor stand, You can thank me later :)

This is the XLR version (as Matthew pointed out, the USB version says it in the title). I haven't had any problems of hissing or background noise with this mic, the internal noise of the mic is actually superb. In Matthew's case, maybe it could be a defective mic (that should be exchanged under warranty), or a poor quality or damaged pre-amp, which is often the case.

I didn't notice any noise problem with mine. It is a pretty good recorder for the price

I actually have the other Rode Mic that is just all black. What you will get with it is basically the shock mount, the mic itself and the dead cat to help with that wind noise.

When dragging your video into your preferred video editors timeline you will see a separate audio track. So, if I'm understanding your question...the answer is yes. The only job of this mic is to capture improved audio over many on-board mics. I have had a good amount of success with this Rode video mic. Be aware of the audio input level (in camera) if your camera has the option to dial it back/down then do so. This mic can be a bit hot. I hope this helps. Be well.

I've used both with no issues. It seems to be a very good microphone for its price.

No, this mic all round is no good. It's not worth the LONG wait either. I highly suggest looking for a different microphone. I beat box a lot and wanted a mic so I got this, Audio-Technica ATR-1300 Unidirectional Dynamic Vocal/Instrument Microphone It is a really decent microphone, and I haven't had a single problem with it.

http://www.learningdslrvideo.com/t2i-7d-disable-agc-rode-videomic/ Its not the mic ... its the camera. Either use the work around at the above link or http://www.learningdslrvideo.com/zoom-h4n-review/ you have to get a separate audio recorder and link it to the video in post. If you get frustrated, just remember the T2i is a PHOTO camera. Just appreciate that you are now shooting movie quality video for under a grand. At least that's what I tell myself to help me fall asleep at night. :)
