Ultracompact Shotgun Mic for Creators
The RODE VideoMic GO II-H is an ultralightweight on-camera shotgun microphone built for vloggers, run-and-gun shooters, podcasters and voiceover artists. Weighing 2.1 oz, it requires no battery and draws power directly from the connected device. Its Helix isolation shockmount suppresses handling noise while the included foam windshield reduces wind interference during outdoor recording.
Dual Output Limits and Cable Needs
The microphone provides both a 3.5mm TRS analog output for cameras or headphones and a USB-C digital output for Mac, Windows, iOS and Android devices. The 3.5mm connection is passive and depends on the host device supplying plug-in power; some cameras may need an adapter or provide insufficient voltage. USB-C operation requires a compatible data cable, which is not included, and mobile devices may need a suitable USB-C to Lightning or USB-C to USB-C cable for connectivity.
Supercardioid Pattern Decides Fit
The annular line tube technology creates a highly directional supercardioid pickup pattern that focuses on sound directly in front of the capsule while rejecting off-axis noise. This makes the mic ideal for single-speaker recordings, interviews and voiceovers where ambient sound must be minimised. It is less suited for capturing wide-room ambience, group discussions around a table or immersive stereo soundscapes.

Questions about this item
Which output should I use — the 3.5 mm TRS or the USB-C?
Use the 3.5 mm TRS for direct camera or headphone connection; use USB-C for plug-and-play recording on Mac, Windows, iOS or Android devices.
How does the supercardioid pattern help in a real recording?
It focuses on sound in front while rejecting side and rear noise, so voices stay clear even in busy environments.
What does the USB-C connection cap in practice?
It delivers digital audio to computers and mobile devices without an interface, limited only by the host device's sample-rate support.
