Ultracompact Shotgun Microphone

The Saramonic Vmic Mini is an extremely compact and lightweight mini-shotgun microphone that mounts directly to DSLR, mirrorless and video cameras. It captures broadcast-quality sound with plug-and-play simplicity. An included cable also allows connection to smartphones and tablets for improved mobile audio recording.

Passive Operation and Power

The microphone operates without batteries or external power, drawing the minimal plugin power supplied by the host device’s microphone input. This passive design eliminates self-noise from active circuitry and produces no audible hiss or hum. There are no fans, motors or moving parts, so the unit is completely silent in normal use.

Consistent Output Under Load

Because the Vmic Mini has no internal amplifier or gain stage, its output level and tonal balance remain constant regardless of how long it is used. Extended recording sessions do not introduce thermal drift, distortion or sensitivity loss. Performance is limited only by the preamp quality of the connected camera or mobile device.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the Vmic Mini on my camera and connect the cable?

Slide the microphone onto the camera's hot shoe, then plug the supplied TRS cable into the camera's microphone input; the step often missed is tightening the shoe lock so the mic cannot twist off during movement.

What part will need replacement first with regular use?

The foam windscreen degrades over time and should be replaced when it starts to crumble or no longer fits snugly.

What limits recording time during long sessions?

The Vmic Mini draws power from the camera or phone through the plug-in-power connection, so recording stops when the host device's battery runs out.
