User questions & answers

Question:	does this mic record stereo sound or just mono? and does it let the onboard mic record as well or not
Answer:	The microphone is a dual mono microphone and thus not stereo, unless you get into the very expensive stereo microphones I think you'll be pleased with the frequency response and quality. Once plugged in, the on-board microphone is cancelled out.
Question:	Can you attach this to a boom pole
Answer:	I believe rode sells a boom pole for this mic. You will need an extension cable as well to plug it in.
Question:	Does this work with Canon 70d? Thanks
Answer:	Yes it does I have the rode mic pro lyre version and it works perfectly I will say if you can afford the pro get it it cause this relies on the power of the camera so the sound isn't as good as the pro
Question:	Should I get a used Rode Video Mic Shotgun Microphone or The rode Videomic go? assume I can't go far over 100$ in budget
Answer:	Best qualities of the Videomic Go: Small, no battery (powered from the camera), easy to transport. Best qualities of the Rode Videomic over the Videomic Go: Battery powered (better range), high pass filter, PAD switch (for reducing sensitivity on louder recordings). Not having a battery can be nice (using the GO), but the camera you use has to be able to power over the 1/8" mic input. The high pass filter and PAD switch are nice on the Videomic, but not always necessary. If you don't think you'll need them, then the Videomic GO is the way to go.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it work with the Canon HF R21 camcorder
Answer:	Does the canon HF R21 Camcorder have a 3.5mm microphone jack? If so, then yes, this works with any camera that has a 3.5mm mic jack. I personally use it with my canon t3i
Question:	Will it work on a sony alpha a
Answer:	Does that camera have a 3.5mm audio input jack? If so, then it will. If not, then it won't.
Question:	will this work with my canon rebel t3i
Answer:	NO. Everyone online everywhere is lying. The canon t3i has a 2.5 mm jack and this mic comes with a 3.5. Additionally, buying an adapter doesn't just fix the problem.
Question:	Would this be a good microphone for music videos
Answer:	Music videos are 99.9% shot with out sound. The band is just lip syncing/ playing to the prerecorded song. If you are trying to record a live performance of a song they you really should use better mics and record to a dedicated recorder and then sync in post. As a way to get a cleaner sound in the camera for syncing this is a good choice. Aside from the range limits of this mic it's mono. Generally you would want to mic things up and then mix them for your final song, and you generally want to record music in stereo, or multiple mics and mix it to stereo.
