Shotgun microphone for cameras and recorders
The RODE VideoMic Pro is a true shotgun microphone built for camcorders, DSLR cameras and portable audio recorders. It serves as a primary or reference audio source with a 1/2" condenser capsule that delivers broadcast-quality sound through a 3.5mm minijack connector. The mono signal is sent to both left and right channels for simple compatibility.
Ideal for on-camera dialogue.
This microphone suits videographers who need focused, directional audio mounted directly on a camera or recorder. Its super-cardioid pattern minimises surrounding sound and targets the subject in front of the lens. Buyers who require long-distance pickup, multi-pattern flexibility or XLR connectivity should look at other solutions.
Low self-noise with selectable high-pass filter
The capsule achieves a self-noise figure of just 14dB and a native frequency response of 40Hz to 20kHz. An 80Hz high-pass filter can be engaged to reduce low-frequency rumble from wind or handling. The integrated Rycote Lyre shockmount isolates the capsule from vibration without the wear of elastic suspensions.

Questions about this item
What camera or recorder input does the 3.5 mm minijack plug into?
The microphone outputs a mono signal to both left and right channels through a 3.5 mm minijack, so it connects directly to any camcorder, DSLR or portable recorder that has a 3.5 mm microphone input.
Will the integrated Rycote Lyre shockmount fit on my existing camera hot shoe?
The Rycote Lyre shockmount is built into the microphone body and uses a standard shoe mount, so it slides onto any camera or accessory shoe that follows the common hot-shoe dimensions.
How can I confirm the high-pass filter is actually cutting low-frequency rumble after I switch it on?
Engage the 80 Hz high-pass filter on the rear panel and listen through headphones; low-frequency noise such as wind or handling rumble should drop noticeably while voice frequencies remain clear.
