  I ordered the Professional "RODE Condenser Microphone 3.5mm Stereo VideoMic"
  Tuesday, November 1, 2022
  I just received it in the morning.

  At first glance, the packaging of the microphone from the bottom seemed worn out.
  Now, due to the movement of the box on the shelves because of the store rearrangement? I don't know.
  The safety stickers were fine though.
  There was no manual included in the packaging. Did the factory not include it?
  I don't know. Maybe they didn't consider it necessary. I don't have anything to say about it.
  At second glance, when you take the microphone out of the pouch, the first thing you notice is that it is much heavier than it appears in the photo.
  You think, okay, it's heavy. (It does have a weight that makes you think, but it doesn't bother you).
  It will simply add extra weight to a camcorder like mine (Sony AX33) or a DSLR camera, but you will know very well that you have in your hands an "Ultimate Sound Tool" that will record sounds in your videos that will be out of this world
  (compared to the built-in microphone of the camcorder or DSLR camera).
  The furry windscreen of the microphone is very good, with a hair that, if you touch it, you would think it came from the hair salon.
  Now, whether you need hair salon services like:
  * Washing
  * Gel
  * Styling
  * Drying
  ...I really don't know (hehehehe).
  This doesn't mean that you shouldn't be careful not to get it dirty or not to damage the "Windscreen" of the microphone in general.
  Of course, you won't use this "Windscreen" of the microphone, for example, in a dusty mine or in a place where it will rain or have a lot of sun or humidity. God forbid.
  You try to have it in the cleanest possible recording space.

  P.S.: At this moment, as soon as I received it, I haven't tested it. I don't have anything at the moment to shoot videos with my camcorder or DSLR camera.
  Once I use it, I will come back to add the additional experience with the sound capture from this specific microphone...
