in this video the videomic me elbow road
is a shotgun microphone with a lightning
connector designed specifically for
Apple devices. Inside the box you get the
condenser microphone and adjustable
mount a ferry windshield and a Quick
Start user guide the microphone also has
a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack
where you can plug in your headphone and
listen to the play through and the audio
playback through the microphone when
testing the videomic me L I found that
the microphone clipped really securely
to my phone even with bigger cases like
the moment case lens I didn't find a
need to use the adjustable mount at any
time at all it also Clips really well
onto an iPad with a case as well the
ferry windshield that it comes with is
relatively easy to attach to the
microphone I did find when using the
microphone with the furry windshield
that it did block the home button of the
iPhone when using it in selfie mode it
all really comes down to the quality of
the sound that it can produce so let's
have a look at how well the rode
videomic mirell performed so here's what
it sounds like on my iPhone 8 plus using
the inbuilt microphone I'm about a meter
away from the phone in a
relatively quiet room and here's what it
sounds like with the video Mike Miele
plugged into my iPhone 8 once again I'm
about a meter away from the microphone
and the phone and here's what it sounds
like with the videomic me l now the
microphone is about half a meter away
from me and here's what it sounds like
outdoors using the inbuilt microphone of
the iPhone 8 plus I'm about a meter away
from the phone and here's what it sounds
like outdoors using the videomic me l
plugged into my iphone 8 plus I'm about
a meter away from the phone and the
microphone I'm going to be quiet so you
can listen to the ambient noise here's
what it sounds like I'm about 30
centimeters away from the phone and the
microphone to test the windshield I have
a fan to simulate some wind action
here's what it sounds like with the rode
videomic me and some wind action
happening and here's what it sounds like
on the video mic me l with the
windshield on and some wind action
happening here's what it sounds like
using the rode videomic me L on a
Facebook live stream the rode videomic
me the original shotgun mic for
smartphones by Road got a little bit of
criticism because there was a little bit
of radio interference that happen with
the mic when people were live-streaming
or when you're using it not on airplane
mode so here's a bit of a test to see
how this microphone performs while we're
live-streaming so there you have it my
review and test of the rode videomic me
L all in all I think it's a really great
microphone it doesn't seem to have the
same issues that the videomic me had and
it produces great quality sound and is
extremely easy to you if you found this
