Introducing the RØDE VideoMicro, the ultimate compact audio solution for video makers on the go. This microphone is only 80mm (3′) long and weighs just 42gm (1.5oz), making it incredibly lightweight and easy to carry. The all-metal microphone body is built to last, and it doesn’t require any batteries – it’s powered by your camera’s plug-in power (min 3V).
The Rycote Lyre shock mount is included, which offers outstanding isolation and protects your recordings from handling noise during a shoot. Additionally, a deluxe furry windshield is included to capture clear audio in windy conditions.
This microphone is perfect for filming on the move, and it can be mounted on a wide range of cameras, especially suited to action cameras with wide-angle lenses. The VideoMicro is incredibly compact, ensuring that the microphone is out of shot with wide-angle lenses and action cameras.
The VideoMicro is a plug-and-play microphone, meaning that you can connect it to your camera and start filming right away. There are no batteries to connect or switches to manage.
If you want to use the VideoMicro with your smartphone, you can purchase a RØDE SC7 cable (sold separately). This will allow you to add clear, directional audio to compatible smartphones with a 3.5mm headphone connector. You can also use an Apple Lightning to Headphone adapter (sold separately) mounted on a case such as an iOgrapher Multi Case to connect the VideoMicro to compatible iOS devices such as iPad and iPhone.
Overall, the RØDE VideoMicro is a portable solution for DSLR or action cameras, built from rugged aluminum and thermoplastic to withstand tough shooting conditions.
