Hey. What's going on, everybody? It's Preston here from prestonscorner.com. Today, I'm talking about audio, but more specifically, I'm talking about how you can upgrade your audio on your smartphone with the RØDE VideoMic Me. I've been playing around with this thing for the last week and a half, and this thing is fantastic. I'll talk more about it here in a minute.
You might be wondering why do I have two of them? I'm using this one right now on the audio that you're listening to on my iPhone, but I'm giving this one away to one of you lucky viewers. I'll tell you how to win right after this.
All right, guys. The RØDE VideoMic Me, what is it? It's a microphone that you can plug into the audio jack on your cell phone, on your iPhone more specifically. It also works on an iPad. I don't do too much recording on an iPad, but I use my phone. I've been using a little bit more. I'm shooting this video on it. I've got my cell phone on a tripod for this video.
I really like using this because if you think about it, buying expensive cameras and doing all this, getting DSLRs and getting all into it, that's great, but if you have an iPhone, you don't need to buy some other camera, in my opinion. Some people, some DSLR experts and fanatics might argue with me, but you don't really need to. You need to use what you got. If you have an iPhone, I have the iPhone 6S, these are seven, eight, nine hundred dollar phones, depending on how big it is. I've got the 128 gig model, so plenty of storage to record 4K and get good quality audio with this RØDE VideoMic Me.
That was the only thing about shooting video on my phone, is the audio was a little bit wacky. With the RØDE VideoMic Me, I was able to really take the audio to a whole nother level. One thing that I really liked about it is I shot a video a while back outside, a motivational video on a longboard, and the audio was a little windy. Wind was getting into the mic. Here, check it out.
I wanted to give you guys a word of encouragement here because being an entrepreneur, it's one of the hardest things that you could possibly do, and …
How do you solve that? With the RØDE VideoMic Me, you plug it into your phone, and you can do selfie style videos. You also get this thing. It's called the dead cat. Basically, here it is. What you do is you take the mic, and you put the mic in here, and it sits on it. This helps block all the wind noise. It does lower the audio a little bit, so you might have to talk a little bit louder, but it really cleans up that audio. I did a test for you here, so you could hear the difference. Here's a before and the after.
Hey, guys. What's up? This is a test. I'm outside. It's pretty windy. You can probably hear the wind noise. It's pretty bad.
All right, guys. Here we are. This is the RØDE VideoMic Me. Doesn't it sound crystal clear? It's super windy out here.

This product is phenomenal. I took on some singing a few years back and absolutely fell in love with this product. Unfortunately, someone broke into my car at the school I currently teach at and haven’t been able to replace it since. . Music is my calming portal, I appreciate the support you and your company are able to provide for myself and my family. It’s been a tough year but singing just makes me….. happy.
Thanks,
Preston Rode
