The RODE VideoMic Pro Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone is a camera-mount shotgun microphone that offers several advantages over the standard VideoMic. It provides lower noise, higher sensitivity, and more adjustable settings, making it the perfect choice for mobile journalists, vloggers, budget filmmakers, and run-and-gun shooters who want to elevate the quality of their recordings without breaking the bank.
With a single 9V battery, the Rode VideoMic Pro can operate for up to 70 hours. Keeping an eye on the battery status is easy thanks to the LED indicator that turns red when the battery is running low. Adjusting the gain and selecting the bass roll-off can be done effortlessly, allowing you to tailor the level and tone of your recording to suit different scenarios.
Despite its compact and lightweight design, this shotgun microphone comes equipped with an integrated shockmount, which directly mounts to your camera or boompole. By reducing noise from vibrations, it ensures a clear and crisp audio capture. Additionally, the windscreen design effectively minimizes wind noise, making it an excellent choice for outdoor shoots. Connecting it to your camera is a breeze, thanks to the attached 3.5mm TRS cable, and the dual-mono output eliminates the need for channel selection on your recording device.
