RODE VideoMic Pro Rycote – Professional Directional Microphone for Cameras and Camcorders

The RODE VideoMic Pro Rycote is a professional shotgun condenser microphone designed for use with DSLR cameras, mirrorless cameras, camcorders and other audio recording devices. Featuring a broadcast-quality condenser capsule and a supercardioid polar pattern, it delivers clear, detailed and natural sound for a wide range of recording applications. It is an ideal choice for vloggers, filmmakers, journalists, content creators and anyone looking to significantly improve their audio quality.

Key Features

The microphone is equipped with a high-quality condenser capsule designed to capture detailed and accurate audio. Its supercardioid polar pattern focuses on the sound source directly in front of the camera while reducing unwanted noise from the sides and rear. An integrated high-pass filter helps minimise low-frequency background noise, while the three-stage gain control allows precise adjustment for different recording environments and devices.

Take Your Audio to the Next Level

High-quality audio is essential for professional video production. The RODE VideoMic Pro Rycote has been engineered to provide exceptional sound quality without the need for a complex external recording setup. Its directional design helps capture speech and important sound sources with greater clarity while reducing distracting environmental noise.

With a frequency response of 40Hz to 20kHz, the microphone accurately reproduces speech, ambient sounds and a wide range of audio content. Its extremely low self-noise level of just 14dBA ensures clean and detailed recordings, even in demanding situations.

The built-in 80Hz high-pass filter helps reduce unwanted low-frequency sounds caused by traffic, air conditioning systems and other environmental sources. This makes it easier to achieve professional results with less post-production processing.

The convenient three-stage gain control allows users to optimise recording levels for different cameras and recording devices. Whether recording interviews, vlogs or documentary footage, it provides the flexibility needed to capture high-quality audio.

Weighing only 85 grams, the microphone adds minimal weight to your camera setup, making it ideal for handheld shooting and long recording sessions. Power is supplied by a standard 9V battery, providing more than 70 hours of operation for reliable performance throughout extended projects.
