RØDE - VIDEOMIC PRO Compact Shotgun Microphone - Black
About this product
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. At the heart of the VideoMic Pro is an all-new 1/2” condenser capsule that provides broadcast-quality audio via a 3.5mm minijack connector (outputting the mono signal to both left and right channels) with an incredibly low self-noise of just 14db. A supercardioid polar pattern ensures that surrounding audio is minimised, and your recording is focused on the subject in front of the camera.
