RODE VideoMic Pro Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone

The Rode VideoMic Pro is a compact, lightweight camera-mount shotgun microphone designed for vloggers, mobile journalists, and filmmakers seeking high-quality directional audio. Featuring a highly sensitive condenser capsule with a supercardioid polar pattern, it focuses on sound directly in front of the camera while attenuating ambient noise from the sides and rear. Equipped with an integrated Rycote Lyre suspension shockmount to isolate physical vibration and camera handling noise, the microphone connects via an attached 3.5mm TRS cable wired in dual-mono. Powered by a single 9V battery providing up to 70 hours of run time, it includes a 3-stage gain switch (-10 dB, 0 dB, +20 dB) and a selectable 80 Hz high-pass filter to deliver clean, customized audio directly to your camera or portable recorder.
