Rode VMGO VideoMic GO Lightweight OnCamera Microphone

Introduction

The RODE VideoMic GO is a high quality directional microphone designed for use with consumer video cameras and personal audio recorders. The integrated shock mounting system isolates the VideoMic GO capsule and electronics from its integrated coldshoe mount, providing isolation from external physical factors that may cause unwanted rumble and vibrations in the microphone. Its standard sized shoe mount also includes a 3/8″ thread in the base for easy mounting on a boom pole or stand. (note that cameras with proprietary sized mounts require an additional adaptor.) Its super cardioid polar pattern is highly directional, focusing on the subject in front of the camera, and minimizing any surrounding sounds. In addition the microphone features a native 100Hz16kHz frequency response with a 34dBA SPL signal to noise ratio. The Videomic GO sports a lightweight design, weighing in at only 2.5 oz., in addition to there being no need for a battery which is certainly a contributing factor. With the camera’s plugin power, all you need to do is plug in and GO. The RODE VideoMic GO directional oncamera microphone is covered by RODE Microphones’ industry leading 10 year warranty.
