Rode VideoMic Pro

The RØDE VideoMic Pro is a lightweight on-camera shotgun microphone designed to deliver clear, professional audio for DSLR and mirrorless cameras. Featuring a supercardioid polar pattern, it focuses on capturing dialogue and on-camera subjects while minimizing surrounding noise. Its tailored frequency response ensures natural vocal reproduction with crisp detail, making it a reliable upgrade over built-in camera microphones for interviews, vlogs, and run-and-gun filmmaking.

Powered by a single 9V battery, the VideoMic Pro offers up to 70 hours of continuous operation, making it dependable for long shooting days without frequent power changes. It includes a +20dB level boost switch, which helps optimize signal-to-noise performance when recording into cameras with lower-quality preamps, as well as a high-pass filter to reduce low-frequency rumble. With its integrated shock mount and lightweight construction, the VideoMic Pro minimizes handling noise while remaining easy to use in mobile shooting setups.
