Shotgun Microphone (VideoMic GO II)
In most situations, you will want to connect the Rode VideoMic GO II to the camera included in this kit using a 3.5mm TRS cable. However, if you want to use your smartphone, tablet or computer, use a USB-C cable to connect the microphone to your device, set it as your input source and hit record. Using the USB-C output also allows the 3.5mm output to be used as a headphone output for monitoring your audio! If you want advanced features and the ability to configure the microphone settings, install RØDE Central on your device.
