The Rode VideoMic Me-L is a directional microphone designed to operate with various devices. It provides a marked sonic improvement to video recordings, especially when compared to your device's built-in microphone. A frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz gives you a wide audible range, while an SPL of 115 dB allows you to record louder sounds without distortion. Being cardioid in polar pattern, the microphone exhibits a directionality that focuses the sound wherever you're pointing the device, providing a measure of rejection to any audio hitting the sides of the mic. Relatively lightweight at 1.0 oz, the mic plugs directly into your device by means of its lightning connector, though a 3.5mm jack is on hand for direct monitoring through headphones. Thus, you can always ensure you're getting good sound, either while recording or during playback. A mic clip is included to secure the mic to your device, and an included furry windshield makes capturing audio in breezy outdoor locales less of a deal breaker.
This bundle includes a windbuster is a dual-layer fur windscreen that's custom tailored to fit a Rode VideoMicro shotgun microphone outfitted with a Rycote Lyre shockmount. It also fits the Rode VideoMic Me-L iOS microphone.

I film selfie talking videos multiple times a week and I've used a small mic similar to this for years. Well I moved into a new house not that long ago and lost my mic in the process. So I went to amazon, found this (very similar to what I was using before), and ordered 2. Fast forward to the first time I used this mic, I literally got a buzzing sound during the 3rd video I filmed. Messed with my audio settings a little, did some tests, same thing. Then I plugged in the backup I purchased, and once again, buzzing. Had to resort back to just using the built in iphone mic and these are now sitting in a drawer, not being used. Fun stuff.
This mic is by far the best IPhone unidirectional mic on the market. Shure and other brands don’t come close to it. Just ordered another one for a friend. HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!!
Used this item to do video recording of an old banjo master. During second day of shooting there was a lot of fuzz and distortion using the mic. Without the mic sounded ok. But I could not use the material I recorded with the mic. Need to return it.
