Fake / Counterfeit Rode VideoMic Pro from E-bay Seller
Not my normal subject matter, but, thought this was worthy of posting to help others. Purchased this VideoMic Pro from an E-bay seller, and noticed some odd discrepancies with the photos of this product I saw online.
After some research I decided to buy a genuine one to compare. The results are pretty shocking!
Lesson learned: only buy RODE products from authorized retailers!
