The RØDE VideoMic is a professional grade shotgun microphone. Based on the latest ‘Film industry’ technology, the VideoMic is designed specifically for use with high quality Digital Video Cameras.The microphone exhibits low noise and an unusually wide bandwidth for its size. It is ultra lightweight, yet rugged due to it’s ABS construction. The VideoMic is powered by a standard 9 V battery and offers a Low Battery LED status indicator and a switchable high pass filter to reduce unwanted low frequency rumble.The VideoMic attaches to any Camcorder that has the standard camera-shoe fitting and utilizes a stereo mini jack for audio output.

Key features:

• Professional grade 1/2" condenser shotgun microphone: designed for use with consumer video cameras & personal audio recorders
• In-built shock mounting system: isolates the VideoMic capsule & electronics from its standard sized shoe mount, providing isolation from external physical factors that may cause unwanted rumble & vibrations in the microphone
• Standard sized shoe mount also includes a 3/8" thread in the base for easy mounting on a boom pole or stand (note that cameras with proprietary sized mounts require an additional adaptor)
• Super cardioid polar pattern is highly directional, focusing on the subject in front of the camera & minimising any surrounding sounds
• Manufactured from rugged and durable ABS, the microphone is designed to withstand being tossed in a camera bag while remaining lightweight & extremely portable
• 40Hz-20kHz response
• Selectable high-pass filter at 80Hz: prevents low end noise such as air conditioners & traffic from being recorded
• -10dB and -20dB level pad: allows recording of loud sound sources e.g. live music or motorsport
