RODE VideoMic Me: Better Sound for Smartphone Video

If you need better sound for your smartphone videos, RODE has an interesting “mini shotgun” mic that might be a good choice. At $59 USD, the VideoMic Me plugs directly into the headphone jack on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device and is held in place with a very simple adjustable clip so that it works with nearly any device. If you’re shooting outdoors, it also comes with a furry cover to prevent wind from messing with your audio recording. Great little microphone if smartphone video recording is your thing!

If you’d like to improve your sound recording skills for film, please have a look at our Sound Recording for Video course over at http://school.learnlightandsound.com
