RODE VidéoMicro (VMICRO)

RØDE VideoMicro is a compact on-camera condenser microphone designed to dramatically improve the audio quality of your videos. Equipped with a high-quality cardioid capsule, it focuses on the sound directly in front of the camera while reducing ambient noise and background distractions. Thanks to its forgiving directional pattern, it delivers more natural indoor sound capture compared to highly focused shotgun mics.

Built from durable aluminum with a high-grade black ceramic anti-glare finish, the VideoMicro offers excellent resistance to RF interference and long-lasting reliability. Weighing only 42 g, it’s an ultra-light companion for cameras, smartphones (via adapter), or portable rigs, ideal for vloggers, filmmakers, and content creators. The microphone operates via camera plug-in power (minimum 3V), requiring no batteries for convenient use anywhere.

The set includes the Rycote Lyre shock mount for superior vibration isolation, the WS9 furry windshield for outdoor recording, and the SC2 3.5 mm TRS cable. Compact, robust, and easy to use — the RØDE VideoMicro is a professional-grade upgrade for any camera setup.
