I have this mic as a back up for my Sennheiser MKE300. I am so very impressed by it's quality. It is cheap compared to the Sennheiser but the sound is excellent and very nearly equal to the Sennheiser. I will recommend this mic to anyone who wants very good sound recording and doesn't want to spend lots of money.

"
Is it supplied with a 3.5 mini jack lead. Also, is there a dead cat/kitten available for this mic and if so how much please?"
Keene replied: It has a 3.5mm coiled cable attached to the mic body. We do offer a kit deal with a Rycote pro windgag web link below:- http://www.keene.co.uk/electronics/multi.php?mycode=RVMDEAL Saving you £16.99 on separate purchases. We do also stock the deadcat if preferred but the Rycote is at least the same if not better quality. Web link :- http://www.keene.co.uk/electronics/multi.php?mycode=deadcat
2 Richard R on 13 Sep 2009 asked :
"Can you supply some of the little "rubber" bands which support the mic in its cradle. If so - details please."
Keene replied: Yes we can please call 01332 830550 for further details.
3 Paul c on 10 Mar 2009 asked :
"
will this fit my panasonic NV GS250 EB CAMCORDER"
Keene replied: It will be suitable for any camcorder. It has a 3.5 mm stereo jack out so if you camcorder has XLR you would need an adaptor. Order code VXLR.
4 Charles B on 09 Aug 2008 asked :
"I want to use this for an Edirol R-09 and for a camcorder that doesnt have a hot shoe but does have an input for an external mic. How long is the cable and do I need an adapter for the mono output to a stereo camcorder? The edirol has a switch for mono external mics
Thanks"
Keene replied: The cable on the Rode Videomic has a coiled cable and stretches to roughly around 50cm, If you wanted to use this with stereo camcorder you could use a adaptor which costs £1.49 and the order code is KA158.
