Whether you're a filmmaker, journalist, vlogger, or videographer, this high-quality, battery-powered microphone is engineered to elevate your production value with broadcast-quality sound.

Crafted for compatibility, the VMic Mark II seamlessly integrates with DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, video cameras, and audio recorders.

The VMic Mark II's durable metal construction is a testament to its robustness, ready to withstand the rigors of on-location shoots and in-studio productions alike.

Enhance your audio control with an intuitive array of features. The VMic Mark II boasts a 3-stage gain control, including a +20dB boost for cameras with noisy preamps, a 0dB setting for high-quality preamps, and a -10dB pad to capture loud sounds without distortion. The 150Hz high-pass filter is a game-changer, eliminating low-frequency disturbances such as HVAC noise, wind, or footsteps that can compromise your recording.

For vocal clarity that cuts through the mix, engage the +6dB high-frequency boost. This feature is especially useful when compensating for frequency loss when using wind protection accessories like the VMic-WS (available separately). The controls are user-friendly and visible even in low-light conditions, ensuring you can adjust settings on the fly.

The VMic Mark II is not only portable but also versatile in its mounting options. The integrated shock mount minimizes vibration noise, and the camera-shoe mount with a metal 1/4"-20 thread allows for straightforward attachment to cameras, boom poles, stands, camera cages, and tripods.

Monitoring your audio in real-time is effortless with the built-in headphone output, a feature that is particularly beneficial when working with cameras that lack a headphone jack. The microphone's 3.5mm output includes a detachable, coiled cable for easy connection to a variety of devices. For extended reach or specialized connectivity, you can replace it with any 3.5mm TRS output cable, or adapt it for use with iPhones, iPads, Android devices, and computers using Saramonic's range of connectors (sold separately).

In summary, the Saramonic VMic Mark II is a high-quality, durable, innovative, portable, and versatile on-camera microphone that stands out for its ability to deliver superior sound quality and adapt to a wide range of production scenarios.
