SOME LOGICAL AND PRACTICAL THINKING NEEDED re: THE DESIGN
Rode VideoMicro Ultracompact Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone
Reviewed by Pinoy Photog on B&H Photo Video
For a small (micro) mike designed to be used on/with small cameras, it should have come with 3.5mm to 2.5mm cable plugs adapter. I had to buy, at added expense, a couple of adapters just so I can use the mike with my Lumix GH2 and Fujifilm X-T1. As it is, it's too small to use on my Canon 7D2, but the Canon is my only camera that has the big 3.5mm port to accept the mic's cord. The lyre-design mount is also difficult to put on/remove from the microphone (and the clamp looks like it might break any time). The dead cat muffler looks like a pom-pom that a cheerleader lost somewhere. ... More

I own a Canon XC-10 and C100 Mark II, it doesn't work with either. I wish they posted a list of compatible camera before I spent my money. It may help others as well.
Cable was not in the package.

In my package, the cable was not included. Probably it's just a mistake, but it could suggest that their quality control is mediocre.

Thought it might produce better audio for a Periscope broadcast. It didn't. The iPhone was just as good. No improvement at all.

Off Axis Coloration Severe
Rode VideoMicro Ultracompact Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone
Reviewed by Alan B. on B&H Photo Video
The off-axis coloration is so severe that if the mic pans away from a speaker the voice quality changes from good to sounding like it's in a tin can. Shooter's voice sounds terrible as well. Also, highly sensitive to popping without windscreen.
Good little compact mic

Reviewed by NMSProductions on B&H Photo Video
Needed something compact and this seems to be perfect. Sound quality sounds good, however I'm only giving 3 stars because I have yet to edit any audio from it yet.
