I bought it a couple of years ago, used it once or twice then promptly forgot about it. It's in like new condition, no scratches or tears in the foam, and has all the accessories and booklets that came with it.

They list for $249 but you can get them on Amazon for $149. I'm asking $105 for it.

the rode videomic is friggin great, especially if you don't have a sound crew. our movies we shot using it sound INCREDIBLE in a movie theater - i heard subtle stuff that i didn't even pick up on my home speakers. AND it runs on a 9 volt battery!

here's a test i did to show the difference between the camera's built-in mic, and the rode:

and yes, this is a reading from a scene from "blood witch".

Thanks Andrew - I forgot about the test you did, but it really does show the difference a good quality on camera mic makes.

Also - one of the nice things about this mic is that Rode also makes a boom pole ($149) and dead cat wind muff ($39) specifically for this mic. So when you're ready to stat using a boom operator, you don't need to replace the mic.
