Plug-and-play, Pro-level Sound

Looking to elevate the audio quality of your video production? The Rode VideoMicro II camera-mount shotgun condenser microphone delivers full-bodied sound, with a hyper-focused supercardioid polar pattern that’s ideal for recording speech and interviews. This lightweight and compact microphone boasts a cutting-edge HELIXTM isolation mount system that all but eliminates the handling noise that can often be a challenge when recording with camera-mount microphones. What’s more, the VideoMicro II is a breeze to use — simply connect to your camera or smartphone with one of the included TRS patch cables and start recording. A set of deluxe foam and furry windshields complete the package, adding up to a powerful camera-mount microphone that’s a must-have for content creators searching for a plug-and-play way to achieve top-tier sound.

Highly directional supercardioid pattern

The VideoMicro II sports a shotgun design and a supercardioid polar pattern, making it an excellent choice for recording speech and interviews, especially in noisy environments. This polar pattern captures audio in a tight, narrow band that rejects unwanted noise coming from the sides. Plus, no matter what you’re recording, Sweetwater’s content creation experts find that Rode’s innovative annular line tube technology provides a clear, full-range representation of the original source. Lastly, a furry windshield and a foam windshield are included to fight off wind noises, plosives, and pops in a variety of different situations.

Noise-reducing suspension mount

Crafted from a single piece of Hytrel thermoplastic, the VideoMicro II’s suspension mount is Rode’s answer to the common challenges faced by lightweight camera-mount microphones — namely, noise from bumps and general handling. The suspension mount is precision designed for the VideoMicro II’s exact shape and weight (less than a pound) to isolate the mic from all vibrations. What does that mean for the user? Your recording will come through crystal clear without unwanted rumbles or artifacts.

Reviews

excellent mic for the price
The RODE VideoMicro 2 is an excellent choice for a compact, high quality camera mic. The sound is clear and very well balanced between high's and low's. The fact that it runs power from your camera's mic pre is excellent. No more power issues when you're out in the field. The mounting apparatus is excellent too. A ground breaking design for eliminating vibration issues and keeping the mic in place. The only factor that kept me from giving this mic a full 5 stars is that it doesn't do well in high SPL situations. You can't use it to record a bar band or loud concert. It's not meant for that. RODE makes another mic that comes with a built in volume pad (NTG). The NGT is much more capable of taming loud sound sources like a concert or rocket launch. In the meantime, this mic is excellent and is at a very friendly price point. Check it out.
