Ultracompact Camera-Mount Shotgun

The Rode VideoMicro is an ultracompact electret condenser microphone designed for camera mounting. It targets vloggers and mobile journalists who need a lightweight, plug-in powered solution without built-in batteries or controls. The included furry windshield minimises wind noise during outdoor recording sessions.

Upgrade from Built-In Camera Audio

This microphone replaces the internal microphone found on cameras and camcorders, delivering superior sound quality with noise reduction. The jump is worth it when recording in noisy indoor environments or windy outdoor conditions where the built-in mic captures excessive ambient sound. Plug-in power via the 3.5 mm TRS jack eliminates the need for separate charging.

Directional Pickup for Speech and Ambience

The shotgun pattern comfortably handles focused dialogue capture for vlogging, interviews and run-and-gun video work. It runs out when the subject is far off-axis or when very low-frequency rumble requires a larger diaphragm or external recorder. The coiled 3.5 mm cable keeps the connection tidy on compact rigs.

Questions about this item

What camera mount does the VideoMicro attach to?

It uses a standard camera-mount shoe that slides onto the hot shoe of your camera or camcorder.

How do I connect the coiled 3.5 mm cable for plug-in power?

Plug the TRS jack into the camera's microphone input; the mic draws power automatically with no battery or switches to manage.

When should I replace the furry windshield?

Swap it out when the fur becomes matted, torn or no longer suppresses wind noise during outdoor recording.
