Before I had even bought the Rode, I have had the opportunity to borrow it from a friend and test extensively. My first concern that the microphone protrudes due to its length in the upper portion of the image (I use a GH2, which compared to other DSLRs is indeed quite small) had not been confirmed. On The Contrary. I could even invert over a windshield and it is nothing to see. But now to the device itself. I tested the microphone extensively on the Lord. This means loud music, and the usual sharp Rumgeschreie coastal wind. Due to the volume I used the built-in attenuation (-10dB or -20dB), which is a little out of reach, in my opinion, because you can reach the mice piano well only with a paperclip. The directional characteristics showed wonderful when evaluating the recordings. when I made a swing of a group of people at a bandwagon. Although I did not move from the spot, was when I was the bandwagon abgewand the only quietly to hear, and was, the more I turned to her, growing louder until it when I directly draufgehalten have the complete audio track laid claim. Incidentally, the music sounded like in the original. So not so, as you know from the many videos that music quality through the verneute record deteriorated substantially. Some friends to whom I showed the material, even assumed that I had placed under the music later ... So when the time does not speak for the quality. In addition, not a single time was heard a Rumpelgeräuch, which is due to the very good suspension of the microphone. I have the Micro has not yet been used without attenuation, because I was always too loud, which speaks for the high widerum Seniblität. I could turn around and turn as I wanted to, but apart from the somewhat unwieldy mice piano (which complain now at a high level is) I can not find anything negative on the mic. Therefore my absolute buy recommendation, for all those who attach great importance to the good sound.
