Rode VideoMic Go compatiable a computer

[unleashedtails]

I have recently purchased a Rode VideoMic Go for DSLR use but could not seem to get it to work when it is plugged into my laptop? I pluged it into the headphone/mic combo jack on my Lenovo Y50 and the notification popped up saying it detected a device but it does not seem to be working? Help please?

it's not being powered. i'm pretty sure that shoe mount powers the rode videomic.

The videomic Go only needs power from the 3.5mm cable.

So what can I do to solve this problem?

I believe you need a TRS to TTRS adapter (i use one with my videomic go to connect it to my iPhone) - alternatively the videomic go works in my behringer X302 USB mixer

Nope its powered by jack, it uses a cold shoe adapter - no power

Thanks.

Also is there a combo jack for that cause I nead somewhere to plug my headphones into too. This thing should work right?

Hello,

 

I have a Rode VideoMic Go and I am considering purchasing the "Behringer 302USB Xenyx 5 Input Mixer" , Would you please tell me if you have any experience with this and know if this mic works with Behringer 302usb ?

 

Thank you.

Thank you.

If you scroll up you can see that I literally mentioned that it works in this thread  

 

However it should also work connected directly to the mic input on your PC - it might just a differnet type of cable depending on your pc
