Excellent microphone for amateur YouTube video use. Very good sound quality and noise isolation. So far, in the indoor space where I tested it, it sounds perfect. It connects to iPhone ONLY with the company's SC15 cable for lightning ports. On the computer, it can be connected with any type C to type C cable you have.

I haven't tried the VideoMicro microphone to see the difference, but just the fact that the Mic Go II provides you with USB connectivity makes it worth the money and then some. In terms of sound quality, it is very good. I use it on a camcorder and on my laptop. As for the foam "windshield": it doesn't do much in case of moderate/strong wind. While it does prevent the wind from coming into direct contact with the microphone and completely ruining the recording, it adds a lot of bass to the audio range, resulting in all the other sounds you want to hear (like voice or anything else) being covered up and the outcome being quite degraded. For those who know about audio editing, this bass can be "cut" quite effectively with an equalizer in any audio editing program, but obviously, all the other sounds will be affected too, so this isn't the perfect solution either. You will inevitably have to go for the actual windscreen from RODE for this specific microphone, the "WS-12" (you'll probably spend at least 30 bucks on it...) which I did because it's essential for me. Also, given that it doesn't have its own power supply (which is obviously very convenient), keep in mind that it drains battery from the device it is connected to.

You can hear a sample of how it records via USB connection on a laptop in the video below. The voice is a voiceover, meaning it was recorded after the video was shot, but I left the sound of the video playing simultaneously (it was necessary because I wanted both sounds to be heard). The sound that seems to have "noise" is from the camera's built-in microphone and not from the Rode microphone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60JHjAmEVtc.

Another recording sample connected to a camcorder is this one: https://youtu.be/2WgjgQZu55I?si=_v0gHA6QFJPqT_p4

Very good microphone for its price. It can be connected to a DSLR via jack and to a smartphone via USB. There is also an application for the smartphone. The downside is that the USB cable is not included in the package.

5/5 stars. I use it either as a shotgun mic on the camera or on a boom. Excellent sound quality, to go for something better you would have to pay double the price. It's worth the price difference compared to the classic Rode VideoMicro.

Very good microphone for its price.
Because I deal with sound, obviously it's not as good as the condenser ones I have, but it's a very good choice to connect it to my camera and not have to synchronize audio and video

An excellent microphone for the money. I use it professionally as an on-camera mic for audio backup. The build quality is quite good. The included shock mount does an exceptional job and no sound is heard from camera movements. One of its strong features is that with a type C cable, you can connect it directly to a laptop and use it for a zoom call or for voice over. It's a great value for money purchase and a significant upgrade compared to its predecessor (Rode Video Micro) which I have used extensively in the past
