The RØDE VideoMic is everything you need to record crystal clear audio to match the high definition video of todays cameras. The VideoMic is designed for simplicity of operation so you don't need to be an expert to get professional results. TIGHT PICKUP AREA Focus on the subject in front of the camera and reduce other surrounding noise with the VideoMic's highly directional super cardioid polar pattern. INTEGRATED RYCOTE® LYRE® SUSPENSION The integrated Rycote® Lyre® shock mounting isolates your microphone from bumps and vibrations that could otherwise interfere with your sound. Constructed from a single piece of hard-wearing thermoplastic, the Lyre® provides superior acoustic suspension to traditional elastic solutions, and will never wear out, sag or snap. HIGH-PASS FILTER & PAD The High-Pass Filter setting acts to minimise distracting background noises appearing on your recording and a three-stage PAD allows the recording of loud sound sources such as concerts or motorsports.
