Get rid of bad audio! By using a high-quality shotgun style mic you can easily improve your audio. Have you ever heard zoom or tape motor noise in your recordings? The RODE VideoMic has a built-in shockmount to solve this problem! Suspending the mic in mid-air cures those irritating sounds typically picked up by a camera’s onboard mic.

The nice part is the entire assembly slides right into your camera’s hotshoe and plugs in to your camera via 3.5mm miniplug, with nothing more to buy.

The sound quality is incredibly amazing at this price point and absolutely blows away the competition. Nothing on the market can compare. Excellent directional pick-up with canceling of sound arriving from the sides just like the big boys.

If you’re going for dialog you’ll still want to keep the subject no more than 5 feet away to pickup a good track. This holds true with any shotgun mic.

A foam windscreen is also included for helping with light wind. Sometimes you may hear a bass heavy rumble with a good gust, in this case you can slide the on-off switch all the way up to “HPF-high pass filter” which eliminates anything below 80Hz.

The VideoMic is battery powered by a single 9volt which lasts about 100 hours. It’s constructed of lightweight ABS plastic and weighs in at about a half pound. The connector is a 3.5mm stereo mini-plug. The mic will record mono and output the same signal to both Left and Right Channels.

Overall an affordable mic with a sweet sound for location audio or voice overs and you can’t beat the price!

The VideoMic from Rode is a cost effective shotgun microphone that can easily be mounted on a video camera because it features an integrated shockmount that attaches to the camera's shoe. The VideoMic is lightweight, and when mounting on a camera it does not appear in the frame. Its super-cardioid polar pattern attenuates sounds from the sides. The result is a signal that sounds closer to the camera, even when shooting in noisy environments or at moderate distances.

A 3/8" thread at the base of the shockmount allows you to use the VideoMic on any standard boompole. With the addition of a longer 1/8" male to female stereo mini-plug cable (like the Rode VC1), and a boompole (Like the Rode Mini Boom), you can radically improve the audio in your video work. A special 1/8" mini-plug to XLR adapter (the Rode VXLR) is also available to use the VideoMic on a professional camera.

Replaceable rubber O-rings suspend the microphone on the shockmount and protect against noise due to movement and handling. An attached, coiled cable terminates to a 1/8" (3.5mm) mini output connection. The VideoMic features a condenser element that utilizes a standard 9 Volt battery. The microphone will run for approximately 100 hours on a single battery. This microphone was used in the making of the low-budget blockbuster hit film Paranormal Activity. If you're wondering if you can get good sound with the VideoMic, wonder no more.

Barrel Canceling Pick Up

The Rode Video Mic functions as a true line plus gradient microphone with a super-cardioid pattern in the front and a barrel that cancels side-audio. The result is maximum pick up of the source in highly ambient and noisy environments.

Integrated Shock-Mount

The VideoMic features a permanently attached shock mount with a camera mounting shoe underneath. The shock mount features replaceable rubber o-rings that protect against noise caused by abrupt movement and shock.

High Pass Filter Switch

A high-pass filter switch eliminates room ambiance and noise below 80Hz. This results in improved intelligibility while recording around machinery, wind or close proximities.

Internal Power

The condenser element is powered with a standard 9-volt battery for up to 100 hours (approximately).
