New Videomic Go - will it work with EPic/Scarlet?

[Ben Scott]

Anyone know?

It should. I've had a problem with connecting a 3.5 directly to the Scarlet. When I used an XLR from the device and the XLR to 3.5 to the Scarlet it worked. So I would try it before buying it!

Hmm interesting. My Rode videomic Pro that I use for scratch audio on DSLR shoots got smashed last week and I fancied getting something else cheap and cheerful as it is purely for pluraleyes. Would be great to have a no-fuss no extra cable onboard mic.

I currently have the tiny little button mic recommended on here ages ago but it is less than useless on exterior shoots.

For cheap and cheerful I use this $4 mike into Scarlet via a Radioshack 3.5mm stereo/mono adapter plug.

Works well for scratch audio, suspect it would be fine on DSLR also

Also interested in knowing this. I read that the RODE Videomic Pro would NOT work with Scarlet / Epic due to incompatible wiring, so am wondering if this has been addressed in the new "Go".

 

[Ben Scott]

What I'd really like is a 'red Edition' of the powered videomic pro

 

[Dave Draper]

I quite like the idea of not having to worry about another power source with the "Go". I mean, if you're only using it as a scratch mic, then it should be all you'd ever need.

 

[Ben Scott]

well there's that, but I do like being able to hear my scratch audio

 

[Dave Draper]

Oh... Is the "Go" not so great at picking anything up due to the lack of power?

 

[Ben Scott]

One assumes the preamp in the 'Pro' gives it an advantage in that area.

 

[Dave Draper]

Are there any comparison examples online yet?

 

[Ben Scott]

Doubt it. I think the Go is aimed at ultra low budget dslr setups.

Dave,

Here's the DIY fix for that issue. GL.

The Rode video mic pro does work. You just need to get a stereo to mono plug to use before you plug it into the RED. Just used it last week and I liked it. Not sure about this model though. Worth a try before going into the wires.

It's that simple? Seems like a better way than cutting the cable, IMO.
