RØDE VideoMicro Features & Specifications

The VideoMicro is a compact microphone designed to improve the audio quality of your videos. It incorporates a high-quality cardioid condenser microphone capsule for great quality audio recordings when used with a wide range of cameras.

A directional microphone, the VideoMicro reduces distracting peripheral sounds and focusses on the audio in front of the camera. Its pickup is more forgiving than RØDE’s other on-camera microphones providing a more natural sound when recording indoors. Perfect for capturing incredible audio to accompany inspiring vision.

The microphone body is made from aluminum, giving it a high level of RF rejection, and is finished in RØDE’s high-grade ceramic anti-glare black coating. Included with the VideoMicro is a camera shoe mount featuring a Rycote Lyre shock mount. Featuring a suspension structure composed of a hard-wearing thermoplastic, it is far more effective at minimising unwanted vibrations, handling and cable-borne noise than traditional elastic suspensions. Virtually indestructible, the Rycote Lyre will never sag, snap, wear out or require rethreading to maintain its effectiveness.

Also included is the WS9 synthetic furry wind shield with foam inner cell, designed for use in outdoor scenarios where wind and environmental noise can inhibit recordings. Optionally available is the RØDE SC7, a TRS to TRRS cable that allows the VideoMicro to be used with smartphones, to capture crystal clear, directional sound for video and video applications such as Periscope.

I think rode is the best microphone company in the world

[catherineclark]

so shocked at how good quality this mic is! amazing

[iggytse]

Great tips. I've been using this recently as I needed to do interviews in a noisy hall and works to isolate the voice while reducing the background noise. Will have to play around with the manual audio setting in the camera next time but auto worked fine.

How about including a smaller FOAM POP FILTER for indoor use :-)

[JodysCorner]

hello, i heard that the videomicro has issues with canon t3i. is this true? will the micro be compatible with my t3i?

[DrDuu]

I cannot find a hint if it a Stereo or Mono Mic! At the Rode homepage is no Description too. I think it is Mono and the Mono Signal will be put double on the camera Stereo interface...

I just bought this microphone last week in Thailand.

Can I shoot with the microphone on the rain? I’m shooting with weather sealed gear but I’m concerned about audio

[Cameradep]

You guys are awesome! You've read my mind. I've been wanting an on camera mic that was unobtrusive. I shoot weddings, and I've found that small is better for these kind of events. The people are more comfortable being filmed, when I have a slim, and small rig. I hope you guys will make a pro version with better audio capsules too. PS how is the mic with RF frequencies?

[PetervanderPalm]

Very good microfone, only the shockmouth was broken after one use. I have a new one and this one is ok.

[FreshSqueezedLightning]

Awesome!! Will this work with the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera? My only concern is the power supplied

[JasonMayes]

Can this be connected to a laptop to use in video calls to cut out people speaking around me?

[MalcolmDebono]

Is there any adaptor that will allow the VideoMicro to be used with XLR camcorders (ie. converting phantom power to plugin power)? Would love to have this in my kit for compact setups when requiring just reference audio

[CFernandez]

Is this the microphone that contestants from MyRodeReel 2015 would receive? This would be useful because my VideoMic is too big and hangs in shot when the my lens is at its widest focal length.

I just got my VideoMicro today but when i connect it to my Nikon D5100 it isn't working, the internal mic is still being used and i tried looking at the mic settings but nothing shows up to indicate switching from internal to external. Any advice?

[CraftyLittleMaker]

So.... Might be a dumb question, can I use this as a desktop mic??

[AlexHallFilm]

Just did a review on this! It works great! 👌🏼

[gemstatetv]

I'm considering buying this mic for my Canon Vixia RF700 camcorder. I have a flash bracket with a cold shoe mount on top so I can mount the microphone. Would this setup work?
