{"product_id":"rode-videomic-on-camera-shotgun-microphone","title":"RØDE VIDEOMIC On-Camera Shotgun Microphone","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe RØDE VideoMic VIDEOMIC is a camera-mount shotgun microphone designed to provide more focused audio than a camera’s built-in microphone. Its directional pickup is intended for filming, vlogging, interviews, events, and run-and-gun production where the subject is generally in front of the camera. The microphone connects through a 3.5mm mini-jack output and runs from a single 9V battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA supercardioid polar pattern concentrates capture toward the front of the microphone while reducing pickup from the sides and rear. This helps keep dialogue and other forward-facing sounds more prominent within a busy recording environment. The condenser design offers a 40Hz to 20kHz frequency range for broad audio capture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VideoMic includes selectable controls for adapting to different recording conditions. An 80Hz high-pass filter can reduce low-frequency rumble from handling, traffic, HVAC systems, or similar sources. A three-position pad offers 0dB, -10dB, and -20dB settings for recording louder sound sources without overloading the input as easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts integrated Rycote Lyre shock mount helps isolate the microphone from vibrations transferred through the camera or mounting surface. This suspension design is useful when shooting handheld or when camera handling could otherwise be heard in the recording. A high-density windshield is included on the microphone for basic wind protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VideoMic mounts to a camera shoe and also has a 3\/8-inch thread in its mounting base for use with compatible boompoles, stands, or tripods. It is a practical upgrade for cameras and portable recorders with a compatible 3.5mm microphone input. For stronger outdoor wind reduction or alternate device connections, compatible accessories can be added separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupercardioid Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Focuses recording toward the subject in front of the camera.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondenser Capsule:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides detailed audio capture across a 40Hz to 20kHz range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e80Hz High-Pass Filter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps reduce low-frequency rumble and unwanted handling noise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree-Position Pad:\u003c\/strong\u003e Offers 0dB, -10dB, and -20dB level settings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRycote Lyre Mount:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps isolate the microphone from camera-borne vibrations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e9V Battery Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supplies independent power without relying on plug-in power.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VideoMic uses a line-gradient condenser design with active JFET impedance-converter electronics.
