Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for camcorders, DSLR cameras, and portable recorders, the VideoMic Pro puts focused mono capture directly on the camera or a boom pole. Its supercardioid pattern reduces surrounding sound while aiming attention toward the subject ahead of the lens. Rear-panel controls make it practical to engage the 80 Hz high-pass filter for low-frequency noise, pad loud nearby sources, or use the +20 dB boost with a DSLR. The integrated Lyre shockmount isolates the mic from handling-related rumble and vibration.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Camera-based interviews where the subject is directly in front of the lens.
- Recording loud nearby sources such as live music or motorsport using the -10 dB pad.
- DSLR recording workflows that use the +20 dB boost and reduced camera mic-input level.
