RODEVIDEOMIC Directional On-Camera Microphone
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
RØDE’s VideoMic is a directional on-camera condenser microphone for consumer video cameras and personal audio recorders. Its integrated shock mount separates the microphone assembly from the all-metal shoe mount to reduce rumble and vibration reaching the recording. Point it toward the subject in front of the camera, then use the selectable 80Hz high-pass filter when low-frequency noise is a concern. Internal -10dB and -20dB pads give you level-control options for loud sources such as live music or motorsport.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Camera-mounted recording that needs focus on the person or subject directly ahead.
- Boom-pole or stand mounting through the shoe mount’s 3/8-inch threaded base.
- Recording loud live music or motorsport with selectable level attenuation engaged.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Cameras with proprietary-size mounts unless an additional adaptor is used.
