RODE

collapse expand iconDescription

The VideoMicro is a compact microphone designed to improve the audio quality of your videos. There is a bit of conventional wisdom that goes something like, "Half of good video is good audio." And it’s true. Say you’re recording a video of a live performance. Who cares if the band looks like they’re cooking if it doesn’t sound great? 

The VideoMicro incorporates a high-quality cardioid condenser microphone capsule for great quality audio recordings when used with a wide range of cameras. The VideoMicro reduces distracting peripheral sounds and focuses on the audio in front of the camera. Its pickup is more forgiving than other on-camera microphones, providing a more natural sound when recording indoors. The microphone body is made from aluminum, giving it a high level of RF rejection, and is finished in RODE's high-grade ceramic anti-glare black coating. 

Included with the VideoMicro is a camera shoe mount featuring a Rycote Lyre shockmount. Featuring a suspension structure composed of a rugged thermoplastic, it is far more effective at minimizing unwanted vibrations, handling and cable-borne noise than traditional elastic suspensions. The Rycote Lyre will never sag, snap, wear out or require rethreading to maintain its effectiveness. Also included is the WS9 synthetic furry wind screen with foam inner cell, designed for use in outdoor scenarios where wind and environmental noise can inhibit recordings.

    I love this VideoMic Me. I video the church sermon every week on my Galaxy S5. I video from the back of the church and the VideoMic Me removes sound clutter and echo and focuses on the intended speaker. Because my S5 earphone jack is too near my camera lens, the mic gets in the video UNLESS I expand my S5 screen. But, I'm videoing from a long distance away so I always expand the screen, consequently it is perfect for my use! (And when I upgrade to a new phone I'll get one that has an earphone jack on the opposite end as the camera, like the Galaxy S7.)

  • Highly recommended for recording or practice.

    As long as you have the appropriate cable it will be compatible. And yes it does come with the windscreen.

    Is this compatible with a Moto MG4 android? I currently use an inexpensive hand held mic connect ed with a splitter to connect a headset. It works ok but not that great. The plug in is located on the top edge of the smart ☎ in the middle ( 1 " from the 📷 lens ).

    It wouldn't hold tight to the phone, so unfortunately no.
