Rode VIDEOMIC-PRO-R+ Compact Directional On-Camera Microphone with Rycote Lyre Shock Mount

A great addition to the best-in-market on-camera microphone category, the RØDE VideoMic Pro+ is a true shotgun microphone engineered for specific use with camcorders, DSLR cameras, and portable audio recorders, as a source of both primary and reference audio. It comes equipped with the best-in-class Rycote Lyre suspension system onboard, improving upon the existing VideoMic Pro capsule/line tube and windshield, and boasts an array of features.

Automatic Power Function (with plug-in power availability) - Made for the run-and-gun shooter. It automatically turns off the microphone when it's unplugged from the camera.

Built-in Battery Door - Makes battery replacment a breeze - also, it won't get lost.

Power options - VideoMic Pro+ can be powered using the included RØDE LB-1 Lithium-Ion Rechargeable Battery, as well as 2 AA Batteries, or continuously via Micro USB.

Digital Switching - Ensures that the user has ultimate capture of the audio signal at the source, which can reduce post-production and editing times.

Digital Switching includes:

› 2-Stage High Pass Filter to reduce low frequencies such as rumble from traffic or air conditioning

› 3-Stage Gain Control, with +20 dB function – designed to improve audio quality on DSLR or mirrorless cameras

› High Frequency Boost will boost high frequencies enhancing detail and clarity in the recording

› Safety Channel to help ensure the signal does not clip when unexpected spikes occur
