Saramonic Vmic5 Super-Cardioid Shotgun Microphone 2000mAh 180g

Professional Shotgun Microphone

The Saramonic Vmic5 is a super-cardioid shotgun microphone built for vloggers, filmmakers, journalists and content creators who need broadcast-quality audio. Its focused polar pattern captures sound directly in front while rejecting off-axis noise for clear recordings in challenging environments. A full-frequency response and rugged ABS construction ensure durability for daily production use. The integrated 2000mAh battery delivers up to 150 hours of continuous operation.

Who This Suits

Creators recording dialogue, interviews or ambient sound directly to cameras or portable recorders will benefit from the 3.5mm TRS output and real-time headphone monitoring. The 150Hz high-pass filter and two-stage gain control (0dB/+10dB) let you tailor capture on the fly without post-production fixes. At 180g the microphone adds minimal weight to gimbals or boom poles for extended handheld sessions.

Key Specification

The super-cardioid polar pattern with a full-sized interference tube provides the directional reach that decides if this microphone fits your workflow. It excels at isolating a subject in noisy locations but cannot capture wide stereo ambience or room tone. Buyers needing omnidirectional pickup or multi-channel recording should look at alternative microphone types.
