Following the VideoMicro, even more powerful
The VideoMicro II modernizes RØDE's iconic on-camera microphone by adding annular line tube technology, inherited from the brand's more ambitious models. This results in a more pronounced directivity, better side rejection, and a clearer sound, while maintaining the simplicity that made the first generation successful.
For vloggers, mobile creators, and run & gun shoots
Designed to accompany a mirrorless camera, action cam, or smartphone, this microphone targets creators who want clear dialogue and controlled ambient noise without complex settings. Its supercardioid directivity isolates the voice facing the camera, while the lightweight format and suspension reduce handling noise during movement.
Key features for clear sound in all situations
The VideoMicro II captures a natural and detailed voice, with a frequency response from 60 to 20,000 Hz and a low self-noise of 16 dBA, ideal for interviews, vlogging, and documentary recording. The RF shielding limits interference near smartphones, routers, or wireless transmitters.
The custom-developed HELIX mount effectively eliminates shocks and vibrations while remaining discreet on the cold shoe. Included foam and furry windshields ensure clean sound recording indoors and in windy outdoor conditions. The two supplied cables (TRS-TRS and TRS-TRRS) guarantee immediate compatibility with cameras and smartphones.
