RØDE VideoMic Pro

Compact Directional On-Camera Microphone with Rycote Lyre Shockmount

The RØDE VideoMic Pro is a true shotgun microphone designed for use with camcorders, DSLR cameras and portable audio recorders as a source of primary and reference audio. The VideoMic pro is battery powered, and provides over 70 hours recording from a single 9V battery.

  • Rycote Lyre shock mounting onboard
  • Capsule with lower noise and higher sensitivity
  • Broadcast recording quality condenser microphone
  • Compact form factor (150mm/6” length)
  • Integrated shock mounting
  • Integrated foam windscreen
  • Camera shoe mount with 3/8” thread for easy boompole mounting

Easily accessible on the rear face of the microphone are the power, filter and level controls. 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.

Below these controls are the level settings, which attenuate or boost the recorded level as required. The -10dB level attenuation (or PAD) is ideal for recording loud sound sources, such as live music, motorsport, or interviews where the subject is very close to the camera. The +20dB level boost is designed for use with DSLR cameras, allowing the user to reduce the camera's preamp level (or mic-input level), effectively reducing the amount of noise generated by the camera's comparatively low quality audio circuitry.

The microphone uses a standard sized shoe mount for on camera use, and features a 3/8-inch thread in the base of the mount for easy boom pole mounting.

    Customers like the sound quality of the microphone. They say it's wonderful, captures a richer, more detailed range of sounds, and picks up everything with its sound boost. The mic also has a clear, directional sound, and does a great job of eliminating side and background noise. Customers also say that their voice was clear and the noise reduction effort was much more successful.

    "...is really a workhorse, and it is so light, and yet it is very sensitive to sounds. Lovely piece that I've added to my kit. So pleased!" Read more

    "...Voice audio recordings also sound more natural and less harsh on the ears even at high volumes...." Read more

    Great sound quality, easy to use, distance isn't super, wish it came with a case or storage.
    5 Stars
    Great sound quality, easy to use, distance isn't super, wish it came with a case or storage.
    The sound quality on this is no question better than the built in mic on my DSLR. It's super easy to use, pretty much plug and play. The mount clips in well and snugly, no worry about it coming loose my accident even if moving around or running. Like how the function buttons are easy to see and reach on the back, not a perfect spot if you need to change while recording so know which you want before you start. The shock mount is great, super flexible, amazing how much movement its able to absorb without transferring sound to the video. The only critique I have is I wish it came with a case or some storage, even just a sac but wish for a zipper hardshell. I end up trying to find a spot in my camera bag and worry about putting pressure on or twisting the shock mount. Check out my photos for a closer look and I hope this was helpful.
