The RODE Reporter is a compact omnidirectional handheld interview microphone designed for broadcast journalism, field reporting, and interview recording applications where a durable and reliable handheld microphone is required. The omnidirectional polar pattern picks up sound evenly from all directions, making it well suited to interview situations where consistent audio capture is needed regardless of microphone angle or position relative to the subject. The robust construction is built to withstand the demands of field journalism use, and the end-address design with a comfortable grip allows it to be held and passed between interviewer and subject naturally during recorded interviews. It connects to cameras, recorders, and mixing equipment via a standard XLR connection, and phantom power or battery power options support a range of recording device configurations.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Ellie L. ★★★★★

The build feels incredibly solid in hand, and the omnidirectional pickup captures all sides of a conversation clearly without any handling noise.

Ava ★★★★★

Picked this up for some field interviews and the omnidirectional pickup is a lifesaver—captures both me and the subject clearly without having to constantly adjust. The build feels solid enough to handle a few drops on concrete too.

Andrew Y. ★★★★★

Used this for a weekend of street interviews and the omnidirectional pickup caught every voice clearly, even with traffic noise around. The metal body feels solid in hand, not flimsy at all.
