Rode VideoMic Pro Plus Video Microphone

Rode VideoMic Pro+ — Broadcast-Grade On-Camera Microphone

The Rode VideoMic Pro+ is a broadcast-grade on-camera shotgun microphone built for filmmakers and content creators who need clean, directional audio straight from the camera. Its condenser capsule and tight supercardioid polar pattern capture rich, warm dialogue while rejecting off-axis noise from traffic and crowd chatter. This model is the go-to choice for run-and-gun shooters who refuse to rely on built-in camera mics.

What Sets the VideoMic Pro+ Apart

This model ships with an integrated Rycote Lyre shock mounting system that isolates the capsule from handling noise and vibrations. The optimised windshield delivers exceptional wind-noise reduction for outdoor shoots, while the safety channel records a clean backup track to protect against unexpected peaks.

Capture Quality — Directional Audio for Filmmaking

The capsule's directional characteristics determine how cleanly your subject's voice is recorded in noisy environments. A wide frequency response captures the full tonal range of speech and ambient sound.

• Frequency Range: 20 Hz – 20 kHz — full-range capture from deep lows to crisp highs
• Polar Pattern: Supercardioid — tight directional pickup that rejects side and rear noise
• Capsule Type: Condenser design delivers broadcast-grade sensitivity for detailed voice capture

Built-In Audio Shaping — No External Mixer Needed

The mic body houses the controls most field recordists need, eliminating the need to dig into camera menus mid-shoot.

• High-Pass Filter: Built-in switchable — minimises low-end rumble from traffic and air conditioners
• High-Frequency Boost: Built-in switchable — enhances clarity and detail in dialogue-heavy scenes
• Three-Stage Gain Control: Three-stage — matches output level to camera preamps for clean recordings
• Safety Channel: Built-in backup recording protects against sudden peaks

Power Options & Camera Integration

Power flexibility is one of the VideoMic Pro+'s strongest selling points — it runs from three independent sources.

• Power Sources: Rechargeable Li-ion (included), 2x AA, USB — never lose a shot to a dead battery
• Auto Power On/Off: Detects camera plug-in power — extends battery life automatically
• Shock Mount: Integrated Rycote Lyre suspension isolates the capsule from handling noise
• Windshield: Optimised design — exceptional wind-noise reduction for outdoor shoots
