Rode VideoMicro - The Greatest Small Camera Microphone?

In this video, I unbox, test, and review the Røde VideoMicro Microphone. I compare the sound to what I always shoot with; an iPhone 7 Plus and the difference in sound clarity is stunning. However, I do have some sound difficulties with static in the beginning. This is unfortunate, considering this entire video is FOR that I didn’t want to lie to you guys and wanted to let you know I guess I just received a bad unit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. P.S. - I did receive my replacement that I had purchased through Adorama (an authorized reseller). The replacement mic sounds SO MUCH BETTER and there is absolutely no static at all. I either received a counterfeit from the seller ’17Photo, Electronics and Outdoors’ the first time or a dud but either way I still would not suggest buying any Røde products from third-party unauthorized sellers. (I didn’t mean to do it Amazon was just out so it defaulted to them instead of a reputable source) ~BUY THE THINGS ME
