The length of the microphone is longer than Rode's VideoMicro but the pickup pattern is narrower as compared to that model. The product comes with the same plug-in power and does not have any controls or switches just like VideoMicro. The absence of controls or switches makes it ideal for people who have just started their work in the video and audio recording genre. It is a good product for beginners as well as professional journalists, vloggers, run-and-gun shooters, or others. While making the Microphone, Rode has given great emphasis to simplicity and made the product that is easy to set up in just a few minutes. Our Take on Rode VideoMic GO Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone: Rode VideoMic GO Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone is compact and very lightweight as compared to the other products available in the market. It has an integrated shock mount that you may use to mount the device directly on your DSLR, video camera, mirrorless camera, etc. This feature reduces the noise from vibrations and offers great camera handling. The Microphone has a windscreen design that reduces wind noise. You can use it for indoor or outdoor shooting with the same expectations of good sound quality. Rode VideoMic GO Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone has a detachable coiled 3.5mm TRS cable that enables you to hook up it with your camera. You do not need to do channel selection as it features dual-mono output. Unlike other low-grade microphones, this product has Directional Sound Pickup

Model overview based on user reviews  
The Rode VideoMic Go is a lightweight, entry-level microphone designed for video cameras, featuring an anti-vibration mount and the convenience of working without a battery. While it includes a removable cord for easy replacement, the sound quality is considered mediocre, with users noting it is not significantly better than some built-in camera microphones, such as the Canon 700D. The microphone's directionality is described as almost omnidirectional, contrary to its supercardioid claim. Users have reported issues with electrical noise, especially outdoors, making it more suitable for indoor speech recording from a short distance. Overall, it is recommended only if the camera's existing sound quality is particularly poor.
Pros

Cons

It makes sense to buy only if the camera has really poor sound.

for serious sound recording it's not suitable, the microphone is purely entry-level for speech recording from a short distance
anti-vibration mount, works without a battery
the sound quality is mediocre, not much better than the built-in microphone on the Canon 700D, except the Canon has stereo sound. The directionality is far from supercardioid, it captures sound almost omnidirectionally.

Not there and not here.

Not to say that it’s downright bad, but it’s a very weak model. Can only be borrowed for indoor recording.
Works without a battery, removable cord (if damaged, you can just buy more).
Noises. Especially on the street there is electrical noise, just rustling. Maybe it's just me, of course, or I just don't know a way to solve the problem. If anyone knows, I would be glad for advice)
