The RODE VideoMic GO II is a compact supercardioid shotgun microphone with both 3.5mm TRS and USB-C audio connections for cameras, computers, smartphones, and tablets. Its 33g microphone body, device-powered operation, shock mount, foam windshield, and digital software support make it a flexible option for mobile video, interviews, streaming, and desktop recording.
Product Overview
RODE gives the VideoMic GO II a directional supercardioid pickup pattern, a 20Hz to 20kHz frequency range, a 3.5mm TRS output, and a USB-C digital audio output. It runs from plug-in power or USB and has no internal battery to charge. USB mode enables headphone monitoring through the 3.5mm jack and access to processing and setup through compatible RODE software. The microphone includes a camera-mount shock support, foam windshield, and SC14 TRS cable. Connection cables for many phones and computers are separate, so check the device port and recording app before purchase.
Key Features
Analog and USB-C Audio
Use the 3.5mm TRS output with compatible cameras and recorders, or connect by USB-C to supported computers, smartphones, and tablets for digital audio and headphone monitoring.
Directional Supercardioid Pickup
The shotgun design emphasizes sound arriving from the front while reducing more sound from the sides and rear, helping with camera-mounted dialogue and focused mobile recording.
Lightweight Device-Powered Design
The 33g microphone body receives plug-in power or USB power from the connected device, so there is no internal battery to manage before a recording session.
How It Compares
Choose the VideoMic GO II when one lightweight microphone needs to work on a camera and as a USB microphone. Choose a longer professional XLR shotgun microphone for boom operation and balanced audio runs, or a wireless lavalier system when the speaker must move away from the camera.
Compatible Accessories and Related Gear
RODE PodMic USB and XLR and Sennheiser MKE 600. For analog camera use, check for a powered 3.5mm audio input and the correct TRS cable. For USB-C or Lightning devices, select a RODE-approved data cable for the device port. The shock mount includes a camera shoe and 3/8-inch thread for compatible supports.
Who Is This For?
This microphone is for solo filmmakers, content creators, journalists, educators, streamers, and small crews that want a lightweight camera microphone that can also serve as a USB audio device.
Who Should Choose Something Else?
Choose a balanced XLR microphone for long cable runs and professional mixer inputs, a lavalier for discreet close placement, a stereo microphone for ambience, or a wireless system when camera distance changes during the take.

FAQ
Can the RODE VideoMic GO II connect directly to a camera?
Yes. Use its 3.5mm TRS output with a compatible camera or recorder that supplies plug-in power, then set and test the input level on that device before recording.
Can the VideoMic GO II work as a USB microphone?
Yes. Its USB-C digital output supports compatible computers, smartphones, and tablets. USB mode also allows headphone monitoring through the 3.5mm jack and access to supported RODE software controls.
Does the VideoMic GO II need to be charged?
No. It has no internal battery. The connected camera, recorder, computer, phone, or tablet must provide suitable plug-in power or USB power.
What cable do I need for a phone or tablet?
The required cable depends on the device port. RODE lists compatible USB-C and Lightning cable options; standard charging cables may not carry the required digital audio data.
Where can I buy the RODE VideoMic GO II in Canada?
