Does the Rode VideoMic Go work with the Nikon D3200?

The VideoMic Go needs 2.5 V plug-in power, I think. Will the Nikon D3200 work with the VideoMic Go?

What I believe you're referring to with "plug in power" is probably phantom power. That means the mike probably takes a battery to make it run.

Does the 3200 have an external audio input? If so, and the mike plug is the correct size it should work.

Have you spent any time on the Rode website?

The microphone requires plug-in power (330uA @ 2.5V)

You may have to call Nikon to see if the microphone jack on the D3200 can supply power to such a microphone.

For the $100 it costs for the Rode mic, I would instead by a Zoom H1 external stereo recorder and a Director's clapboard to sync sound. You can find clapboards for under $15 on Amazon.
