Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Rode Video Mic Unboxing”.
What’S up guys, it’s Lou from unbox therapy comm and today we’re taking a look at the rode videomic, an incredibly popular microphone for people who shoot on digital SLRs. As we all know, most digital SLRs are shooting HD video these days, but the audio is just not up to snuff. This microphone can change that for you, as you see here, the roads got a 10-year warranty on it. Now, that’s pretty impressive.
I don’t think I have any other consumer electronics with a similar warranty. We’Ve got some more documentation from rode, including the video mic instruction manual, which goes over some of the features and specs of the device. So here it is and at first it looks pretty complicated, but it actually isn’t what you’re looking at is the microphone mounted on a shock mount here’s, some elastic bands to replace the original ones on the shock mount in the event that they wear out or get Lost now the shock mount is important because it helps with the reduction of camera noise handling noise, as well as the auto focus noise coming off of your digital SLR. Now the microphone is really light, much lighter than it comes across on video. I’M sure that’s important. So you don’t get fatigued while carrying it. It’S powered by a 9-volt battery and your game controls are also on the interior.
You have your on/off switch on the back, a flexible mini jack, cable, there’s that mini jack connector and, of course, the hot shoe mount, which is incredibly important. Here’S what it looks like mounted up on the cannon 60d I’ll, give you guys a taste of what it sounds like in the future. Until then visit the channel .
