The Rode VideoMic is a high-quality on-camera shotgun microphone use. It features a studio-grade condenser capsule and highly directional supercardioid polar pattern, plus a selectable high-pass filter and two-stage level control for recording loud sound sources, making it an extremely versatile microphone that excels in a wide range of filmmaking situations. It also features an integrated Rycote® Lyre® shock mounting system that provides excellent isolation from external vibrations and a high-density windshield for recording in windy environments.

Key Features

  • Studio recording quality
  • Condenser microphone
  • Super cardioid polar pattern
  • 9V battery power
  • Integrated Rycote® Lyre® shock mounting
  • Two step High Pass Filter (Flat/80Hz)
  • Three step PAD (0, -10, -20dB)
  • Rugged reinforced ABS construction
  • Windshield included
  • 3.5mm mini-jack output
  • Integrated cold-shoe mount (3/8” thread)

The integrated Rycote® Lyre® based shock mounting system isolates the VideoMic capsule and electronics from its all-metal shoe mount, providing isolation from external physical factors that may cause unwanted rumble and vibrations in the microphone. Constructed from a single piece of hard-wearing thermoplastic, the Lyre® provides superior acoustic suspension to traditional elastic solutions, and will never wear out, sag or snap.

Its standard sized shoe mount also includes a 3/8" thread in the base for easy mounting on a boom pole or stand. By employing a super-cardioid polar pattern the VideoMic becomes highly directional, focusing on the subject in front of the camera, and minimising any surrounding sounds.

In addition to the microphone's native 40Hz-20kHz response a selectable high-pass filter at 80Hz is available, which will prevent low end noise such as air conditioners and traffic from being recorded. A -10dB and -20dB level attenuation (or PAD), selectable from inside the battery compartment, allows recording of loud sound sources, such as live music or motorsport.
