Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this work with a Sony Handycam 740 shoe?

A: Yes, the camera does have a dedicated 3.5mm external mic input with plug-in power and a standard shoe mount to attach the VideoMicro.

Q: 2. Can the audio feed be split so that I can plug this into both an iPhone and FM transmitter simultaneously?

A: No it can not. You would need a small mixer.

Q: 3. Would this be good for wildlife?

A: If you will be within a few feet of the subject, the Rode VideoMicro could work, but you would probably have better results if you use a longer microphone which will allow you to pickup sound from further away. The VideoMic NTG (B&H # ROVMNTG), NTG2 (B&H # RONTG2), or NTG4+ (B&H # RONTG4P) can all operate using batteries and can be connected to a camera or recorder that has a 3.5mm TRS mic input.

Q: 4. What distance from your subject will give you the best sound quality?

A: The optimal distance for recording will vary depending on the environment and whether or not there is a significant amount of background noise or when outdoors, wind can make a big difference. When recording outdoors, you may need to be closer to the subject compared to recording indoors. You can use headphones to monitor the audio while recording to make sure that the sound is clear.
