Take your video recordings to new levels when you attach the RØDE VideoMic R directional on-camera microphone to your video recording device. This professional-grade 1/2-inch condenser shotgun microphone makes your equipment setup more compact when you don't need a separate video camera or microphone as you shoot video outdoors or indoors.

The integrated Rycote Lyre-based shock mounting system isolates the VideoMic capsule and electronics from its all-metal shoe mount, thereby reducing or eliminating any unwanted noise created by the hardware of the equipment. Forget about rumbles, vibrations or knocks when the camera moves quickly or suddenly to capture the action. RØDE created the Lyre from a single piece of hard-wearing thermoplastic for a custom fit and superior acoustic suspension versus the traditional elastic setup. The plastic never wears out or sags, so it keeps your microphone in the same position for years after you install it.

The standard shoe mount includes a 3/8-inch thread for easy mounting to a boom pole or stand. A super-cardioid polar pattern turns your camera-mounted microphone into a highly direction audio detection device that focuses on the subject in front of the camera rather than picking up surrounding sounds.
