About Saramonic Vmic5

Where professional audio recording meets durability and versatility, the Saramonic Vmic5 Pro Super-Cardioid Shotgun Microphone stands out. This advanced on-camera condenser shotgun microphone is designed to deliver a full-frequency, broadcast-quality sound, making it a top choice for content creators, filmmakers, journalists, and vloggers.

The Vmic5 Pro features a supercardioid polar pattern, providing focused directionality and excellent off-axis rejection of audio from sides and rear. This is achieved through a full-sized interference tube, allowing the microphone to reproduce the wider frequency response typically associated with a professional XLR shotgun, but in a compact, lightweight form-factor with a 3.5mm output.

Equipped with a powerful array of audio controls, the Vmic5 Pro allows you to tailor the microphone's sound and performance for optimal recording. It offers a 3-stage gain control with a +20dB boost for ultra-clean gain, a 0dB setting for high-quality preamps, and a -10dB pad for capturing loud sounds without distortion. The selectable 75Hz and 150Hz high-pass filters help eliminate low-frequency noise, while a +5dB high-frequency boost compensates for frequencies lost when using the included furry windscreen.

The Vmic5 Pro is designed for convenience with an auto power function that turns the microphone on and off with your camera. Its lightweight and compact design, coupled with a full-sized 5 x 0.9" interference tube, ensures detailed sound and off-axis rejection in a mini-shotgun form-factor. This makes it an ideal choice for DSLR, Mirrorless, and Video Cameras shooters who require the sound and performance of a real shotgun mic in a compact size suitable for run-and-gun action.

Constructed with durable ABS, the Vmic5 Pro is rugged enough to withstand the demanding world of video production. It features a 3.5mm headphone output for sound monitoring, a side-mounted 3.5mm microphone output with a short, coiled cable for connection to cameras, mixers, and recorders, and an internal 2000mAh lithium-ion battery with up to 120-hours of runtime.

Whether you're filming indoors or outdoors, the Vmic5 Pro is ready to deliver high-quality sound wherever you need it. It comes with both a foam windscreen and a furry windshield, and an advanced integrated shock mount that isolates it from unwanted vibration noise. The camera-shoe mount with metal 1/4"-20 thread allows for easy mounting to cameras, boom poles, stands, camera cages, and tripods, making the Vmic5 Pro a reliable and versatile tool for all your audio recording needs.
