The Stereo Video Mic Pro by Australian manufacturer Røde comes with a ten year warranty and a battery life of over 100 hours. The microphone itself has a high quality, as the word Pro says. Only the suspension with the rubber bands feel a little wobbly but I guess it fulfills it purpose. But the Røde comes with replacement rubbers, which are fairly easy to replace.
In addition, a wide range of accessories is available. I got the Røde with a windshield. The recording quality leaves nothing to be desired, but I would use a different microphone for an interview.
The Røde is more suitable for recording the ambient noise, it cannot be adjusted so well to an object. But that is what this microphone has been developed for.
A green LED light helps to check the battery condition, however for an important shoot you will have of course a spare battery in the luggage. The 9 V battery is not included, what would be expected given it the high price tag.
For a Sony camera, unfortunately, you need a hot shoe adapter as the Røde microphone cannot be attached directly to the Sony camera.
The microphone can be screwed onto a tripod, I can also adjust the volume initially by a slider, a high pass filter can be switched on. The microphone is connected via a three and a half millimeter jack.
As a conclusion I can say that the Røde mic is a really good buy. The quality of the sound recording is perfect for me. If you want to record ambient sounds you have with the Røde Videomic pro a perfect microphone. The size is obviously very noticeable on a small camcorder like mine.
If you would like to check the sound, please watch out for the Youtube channel: StephansBilderwelt there you will find some samples and some other test's.
