Mic issues

Any of you guys using the Rode Videomicro ? I have it paired to my Nikon Z6 and can’t seem to get any decent volume out of it.

I’ve tried it with auto mic sensitivity in the camera and also manual sensitivity in camera up to 17/20 an it just seems really quiet.

I do mumble and mutter, talk too fast and not the most efficient at projecting, but wherever I see other people using them they seem to have much better success than I.

Is it me, the mic, the camera, the camera/mic combo or just user error?

Many thanks. Frustrated in Manchester
 
With that one there's not much to go wrong unless you need the alternative cable (would be supplied).
Usually with wrong plug you would get nothing though.
On Sony default audio from camera onboard mic is #26 but for external mics usually need to be more like #12.
Not really relevant except you will probably need to adjust it one way or the other.
 
Are there any other menu options for the mic? Eg line level vs mic input?
