[m.lomibao]

hello,
i need to buy a rode video mic for my canon 60d , but im not sure which one, either the rode stereo videomic or the rode videomic pro....any advise?

thanks

VideoMic and VideoMic pro doesn't seem to be "much" different. And as for the stereo one, I don't see the advantage that justify the price.
I would go with the VideoMic, either the regular or pro model.

i would go for the newer VideoMic Pro, seems like a better overall design and improvement over the original.

here in UK the price difference is only 10 pounds..... im about to order in amazon.co.uk but im just waiting for some convincing advice to which one to buy...
is stereo sound suppose to be the sound required for filmmakers?

what abt the rode stereo videomic?

Go the VideoMic Pro. The stereomic isn't ideal for dialog... it sounds crap. Besides, you can make it stereo when you edit, which actually sounds much better.

I would honsestly suggest you stick with the Videomic or the pro version.

oh no...mr rutter ive just purchased the stereo videomic few minutes ago...transaction was done

Whoops... oh well, you've got a mic thats useful as an ambient mic, maybe good for live performances... but you won't enjoy it for dialog recording...
