Rode VideoMic GO Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone offers enhanced off-axis rejection so that you always get tighter directionality. The length of the microphone is longer than Rode's VideoMicro but the pickup pattern is narrower as compared to that model.

While making the Microphone, Rode has given great emphasis to simplicity and made the product that is easy to set up in just a few minutes.
