Audio is half of video, so let's check out a video mic that's half the size to see if the Rode VideoMic GO II has what it takes to be the new go-to audio choice, especially when compared to the VideoMic NTG!
This video is not sponsored, but Rode did send me the VideoMic Go II as a gift. It was unexpected and I'm not obligated to make a video about it. I genuinely like it and think it's a cool piece of gear at a great price. I've bee using it a lot as a USB mic for voiceovers.
