Technically how does this compare to the rode video mic pro? Sorry, my tech skills isn't that strong.

The most obvious trade-offs are:
limited pre-amping since there's no battery
no adjustable volume vs 3 steps on the VMP;
no high pass filter;

Like a repackaged version of the first Videomic that is smaller and non-battery powered.

Not a replacement for the Pro but definitely a replacement for the original Videomic.
