In many clips I’ve recorded, I can clearly hear hissing or the sounds made by my air conditioner or computer fans. Condenser mics are known to be very sensitive, but something about the VideoMic Go takes it to an extreme.
The VideoMic Go is a condenser mic, which explains why it picks up so much noise. Entirely removing or silencing loud clicking noises may not be possible, but you can still do plenty to reduce other unwanted noise. If you’ve made the same mistake and heard the loud clicking noises in the audio as I did, then you’re in the right place. I thought that anything would be better than the M50’s onboard mic-I was wrong. After several instances where the Video Mic Go failed me, I hadn’t used it for a while, but I decided to give it another shot. The Zoom H1n has one fatal flaw: it uses two AAA batteries, and I didn’t have any. Instead of bringing my trusty Zoom H1n recorder, which I typically mount on my Canon M50 to record audio as an external mic, I brought my RØDE VideoMic Go.
On a recent expedition to the outside world, I brought my camera with me and decided to shoot a video. However, these steps can help you fix your RØDE VideoMic Go audio. You should probably purchase a different microphone.
