Rode announced their new Videomic Pro, an upgrade to the popular Videomic, a few weeks ago. Â Carl Pendle sat down and shot a comparison video between the two mics and also Rode’s popular lavalier mic.
Comparing the Rode Videomic, Videomic Pro and Lavalier

Very interresting review. This confirms that nothing is better than capturing the sound as close as possible from the source. Lavalier or shotgun on a pole can’t be beaten.
