Rode PG2-R

A Handle Designed to Accompany RODE Shotgun Microphones

The PG2-R was designed as a robust and versatile grip solution for the brand's shotgun microphones and small portable studio microphones. It follows a "field" logic: minimizing mechanical noise, securing the mount, and speeding up configuration changes. Thanks to its wide compatibility and multiple attachment points, it easily integrates into a sound recording kit, whether you work solo or with a small team.

Who It's For and Its Uses in Sound Recording

This handle is particularly suited for videographers, sound recordists, and journalists who use a directional microphone on-camera, handheld, or on a boom pole. During interviews, it improves holding comfort and helps keep the microphone stable while limiting shocks caused by movement. In outdoor filming, the suspension helps preserve intelligibility by reducing vibrations and handling noise, which is essential when recording close to the source.

Rycote Lyre Suspension, Modular Mounting, and Fast Workflow

Double Suspension for Better Isolation

The Rycote Lyre double suspension acts as a mechanical decoupler between the handle and the microphone. The result: less unwanted noise related to contact, pressure changes, or micro-shocks, and cleaner capture, especially with sensitive and directional microphones.

Four Mounting Points to Adapt to Different Lengths

With its 4 mounting points, the PG2-R allows adjusting the microphone position according to its size to achieve better balance and a more natural hold. This modularity also simplifies integrating microphones of different lengths into the same kit without makeshift solutions or compromising stability.

Quick Release to Save Time

The quick release system facilitates transitions between handheld use and boom pole mounting, or swapping microphones between shots. A real advantage when responsiveness and repeatability of setup matter as much as sound quality.
