Rode Micro Microphone
Description
The Røde VideoMicro is an ultra-compact, lightweight on-camera shotgun microphone engineered to significantly improve the audio quality of your video recordings. Made with an all-aluminum body and finished in a high-grade ceramic anti-glare black coating, it is ideal for vloggers, filmmakers, and run-and-gun content creators looking for high-quality audio in a portable form factor.
Incorporating a high-quality cardioid condenser microphone capsule, the VideoMicro focuses directly on the sound in front of the camera while reducing distracting peripheral background noise. It comes equipped with a heavy-duty Rycote Lyre suspension shock mount that completely isolates the microphone capsule from structural and handling vibrations. Operating strictly on standard plug-in power (2V-5V) directly from your device’s 3.5mm microphone port, it requires no internal batteries to run.
