Great, but bad switches

Great mic for Pro Video Makers. A must have. The only real complaint I have is: For a $200+ mic, I got the worst switches in my life. They will not stay on.

A great budget mic for boom setups!

I picked this up mainly for using on a boom for sit down interviews. I also considered the NTG2 but after watching a lot of reviews and getting feedback from friends, I decided to give this mic a try. I'm very impressed with the quality from such an affordable mic. I haven't used it on camera yet but I'm sure the results will be impressive as well.

Good mic, super easy to use, durable and light.

Love this mic. The quality has been good enough for my projects, its way better than the built-in mic on my 5D mii. Its small (enough) and lightweight, so I always keep it in a side pocket in my camera bag for when I need it. It takes like 10 seconds to install and turn on. Main drawback: I have forgotten to turn it on on multiple occasions, and if it's plugged in but not turned on then the camera records no audio so you end up without a baseline track to even sync your secondary audio sources to. That's just operator error and not the mics fault. Would I recommend it? Totally.

Excellent quality sound

This mic is amazing. I use it for VO recordings, on a boom for film shoots, and mounted on my camera for quick shots. Crisp, clear, quiet sound. Extremely happy with this mic. The accessories were all in great condition and attached easily.

This mic sounds great

Works well. The sound is a big step up over the built in mic on my Canon 70D. My only complaint is that changing out the battery is a little fiddly and inconvenient.

Excellent mic at this price point.

This mic really works as advertised. Easy to install, clear audio to my video files. I would recommend this mic to anyone starting to take more professional video. Plus, if you register your unit with RODE, you could get a 10 year warranty! Hard to beat that!

Great Mic That Give Great Audio

As a beginner to creating films nabbing this was a great idea. All over the internet you can see praise for it and with good reason: this thing yields amazing audio for a really good price. I've tried cheaper shotgun mics and they always ended up with some extra noise that killed the scene. This has proven across all of my shots so far to be very high quality.

Works as advertised!

By william s.

I like this mic through limited use. It's very lightweight but seems durable. Sound quality is good. The option to tweak for really loud scenarios is great, I mostly shoot live bands.

Just imagine capturing professional, broadcast-quality audio with your camcorder, DSLR camera, or portable audio recorder. The RODE VideoMic Pro On-Camera Shotgun Microphone makes this possible. This high-quality, durable microphone is designed with a new 1/2" condenser capsule that delivers superior audio performance. It connects via a 3.5mm minijack connector, outputting a mono signal to both left and right channels, ensuring a low self-noise of just 14db.

The VideoMic Pro features a supercardioid polar pattern, expertly minimizing surrounding audio and focusing your recording on the subject in front of the camera. This makes it an ideal choice for professionals seeking a reliable and versatile audio recording solution.

The integrated Rycote Lyre-based shock mounting system sets the VideoMic Pro apart. It isolates the microphone's capsule and electronics from its mount, effectively eliminating unwanted rumble and vibrations caused by external physical factors. The Lyre, constructed from a single piece of hard-wearing thermoplastic, offers superior acoustic suspension compared to traditional elastic solutions, ensuring it will never wear out, sag, or snap.

User-friendly controls for power, filter, and level are conveniently located on the rear face of the microphone. The microphone's native 40Hz-20kHz response can be enhanced with a selectable high-pass filter at 80Hz, preventing low-end noise from air conditioners and traffic from being recorded.

The level settings offer the flexibility to attenuate or boost the recorded level as needed. The -10dB level attenuation (or PAD) is perfect for recording loud sound sources, while the +20dB level boost is designed for use with DSLR cameras, reducing the amount of noise generated by the camera's audio circuitry.

The VideoMic Pro uses a standard-sized shoe mount for on-camera use and includes a 3/8" thread in the base of the mount for easy boom pole mounting. It is battery-powered, providing over 70 hours of recording from a single 9V battery. Proudly designed and made in Australia, the RODE VideoMic Pro On-Camera Shotgun Microphone with Rycote Lyre Suspension Mount & Mini Windjammer is a testament to RODE's commitment to industry-leading audio equipment.

  • Rycote Lyre shock mounting onboard
  • All-new capsule with lower noise and higher sensitivity

  • Compact form factor (6"/150mm length)
