Rode VideoMic Me-L Directional Microphone for iOS Devices

Solid Pros:Very nice sound quality. Mosts of my tests so far have been with the mic/phone in selfie configuration, so the mic is about 2 feet from mouth and it sounds great! Captured sound is robust, clear and pleasant.No battery required - powered off phone.Full windscreen included.

Im new to capturing audio to support my still documentary work, and this microphone was a great start for me. It connects to my iPhone, and I put the phone on a tabletop tripod with the mic aimed at my subject. Rode has an app called Reporter which I use to capture audio as files for editing.

It's a nice set up for vlogging on iPhone; the only thing is that at vlog distances (arms' length) I did not notice such a tremendous improvement on the sound quality with my iPhone X's internal microphone vs. this microphone. But there was a slight improvement.

Worked GREAT with my Samsung S8+ and I am recording the BEST audio (even in the highest of winds) without any background noise. Love the wind screen it comes with too. Fits perfect on my phone and stays tight.

For those who are complaining about using their cases not fitting, should not give it less than 4 stars. It's a great mic. The sound is a bit on the high clarity compared to the video mic pro (2 series). Which offers a more lower mid range sound.

I love this microphone and it's doing exactly what I need it to do.

Love it so much!

Affordable and professional sounding.

Really good value at the price and well made.

Nice, so good, value of money
