Rode Videomic Shotgun Microphone with Rycote Lyre Mount and Fuzzy Windjammer Kit, Black

Product Description

The RDE VideoMic is a professional grade 1/2" condenser shotgun microphone designed for use with consumer video cameras and personal audio recorders. The integrated shock mounting system isolates the VideoMic capsule and electronics from its all-metal shoe mount, providing isolation from external physical factors that may cause unwanted rumble and vibrations in the microphone. Its standard sized shoe mount also includes a 3/8" thread in the base for easy mounting on a boom pole or stand. (note that cameras with proprietary sized mounts require an additional adaptor.) Its super cardioid polar pattern is highly directional, focusing on the subject in front of the camera, and minimising any surrounding sounds. In addition to the microphone's native 40Hz-20kHz response a selectable high-pass filter at 80Hz is available, which will prevent low end noise such as air conditioners and traffic from being recorded. A -10dB and -20dB level attenuation (or PAD), selectable from inside the battery compartment, allows recording of loud sound sources, such as live music or motorsport. The new RDE VideoMic features an integrated shock mount based on Rycote Lyre technology. Constructed from a single piece of hard-wearing thermoplastic, the Lyre provides superior acoustic suspension to traditional elastic solutions, and will never wear out, sag or snap. The RDE VideoMic directional on-camera microphone is covered by RDE Microphones' Includes:The fuzzy Windjammer made of an artificial rabbit fur material for maximum protection against wind noise. The Fuzzy Windjammer slips over windscreens for added protection and measures approximately 7 to 7.5" (17.8 - 19cm), making it an ideal for microphones.
