RODE VideoMic Pro+ Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone

The RODE VideoMic Pro+ is a professional‑grade, on‑camera shotgun microphone engineered for filmmakers, videographers, and content creators who demand broadcast‑quality audio with reliable performance and intuitive operation. Designed to mount directly to your camera or rig, it captures clear, directional sound with minimized background noise—making it ideal for dialogue, interviews, run‑and‑gun shooting, and documentary production.

Featuring an advanced RF‑bias condenser capsule and a refined supercardioid pickup pattern, the VideoMic Pro+ delivers rich, articulate audio with wide dynamic range and low self‑noise. Its rugged yet lightweight design incorporates a refined Rycote® Lyre suspension mount, which effectively isolates the mic from camera handling and vibration noise without wearing out like traditional rubber shock mounts.

The microphone includes a suite of built‑in features that enhance usability in the field, such as automatic power switching, high‑pass filter, high‑frequency boost, safety channel, and auto‑power function that intelligently manages battery life. Power options include internal lithium‑ion rechargeable battery or standard AA batteries, giving flexibility for extended shoots.

Whether you’re recording content for YouTube, ENG, documentaries, or professional video, the RODE VideoMic Pro+ delivers powerful, clear audio with minimal setup complexity.
