Description

Broadcast-Quality Audio for Video Production

The Rode VideoMic Pro Rycote Compact Directional On-Camera Microphone in Black is a professional-grade shotgun microphone designed for filmmakers, vloggers, and content creators across Australia. Renowned for its compact size, broadcast-quality sound, and Rycote Lyre shock mount, it delivers exceptional audio for DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and camcorders. With advanced features like adjustable gain and a high-pass filter, it’s ideal for capturing dialogue, interviews, and ambient sound in diverse filming environments.

Exceptional Sound Quality

The VideoMic Pro features a 1/2-inch condenser capsule with a supercardioid polar pattern, offering focused, directional audio capture across a 40 Hz – 20 kHz frequency range. Its low self-noise (14 dBA) and high SPL handling (134 dB) ensure clean, distortion-free recordings for both quiet and loud sources, such as interviews or live events. The microphone includes a two-stage high-pass filter (flat or 80 Hz) to reduce low-frequency rumble like traffic noise, and a three-stage gain control (-10 dB, 0 dB, +20 dB) for precise audio level management, especially useful with cameras featuring auto-gain control. Users praise its clear, rich sound for video production, comparing it to the Rode NTG4, though some note it requires close proximity (within 1–2 meters) for optimal dialogue capture due to its sensitivity (-32 dB re 1V/Pa).

Compact Design and Advanced Features

Crafted in Rode’s Sydney, Australia facilities, the VideoMic Pro weighs just 85 g and measures 150 mm in length, making it ideal for on-camera use without obstructing wide-angle lenses. The integrated Rycote Lyre shock mount minimizes handling noise and vibrations, outperforming traditional elastic suspensions, and mounts via a hotshoe with a 3/8-inch thread for boompoles or stands. Powered by a 9V battery (over 70 hours of operation), it connects via a 3.5mm TRS jack, with a right-angled plug for easy camera integration. The package includes a foam windshield, but users recommend the optional DeadCat VMPR furry windshield for outdoor shoots in windy conditions. A battery status LED and power switch enhance usability, though some find the battery compartment tricky to close. Backed by a 10-year warranty (with registration at rodemic.com), it’s built for durability.

Key Performance Features

  • Supercardioid Condenser Capsule – Focused audio with excellent off-axis rejection (40 Hz – 20 kHz)

  • Low Self-Noise – 14 dBA for clean recordings in various environments

  • High SPL Handling – 134 dB for distortion-free capture of loud sources

  • Rycote Lyre Shock Mount – Superior isolation from vibrations and handling noise

  • Three-Stage Gain Control – -10 dB, 0 dB, +20 dB for precise level adjustment

  • Two-Stage High-Pass Filter – Flat or 80 Hz to reduce low-frequency rumble

  • 9V Battery Powered – Over 70 hours of operation with status LED

Notes

  • Requires a 3.5mm TRS input on the camera or an adapter (e.g., Rode VXLR Pro) for XLR-based recorders; not compatible with USB-only devices without an interface.

  • For windy outdoor conditions, the optional DeadCat VMPR furry windshield (~$39 USD) significantly reduces wind noise compared to the included foam windshield.

  • Users on X and reviews praise its compact size and sound quality (~$150–$219 USD), with some preferring it over the Rode VideoMicro (~$50) for its gain control and filter options.

  • For cameras with auto-gain control, set camera levels low and use the +20 dB boost for optimal results; test with your device to avoid clipping.
