RODE VideoMic Pro with Rycote Lyre Suspension Mount
$ 249.00 $ 229.00 - Épuisé
RODE VideoMic Pro with Rycote Lyre Suspension Mount
The RØDE VideoMic Pro is a true shotgun microphone designed for use with camcorders, DSLR cameras and portable audio recorders as a source of primary and reference audio.
At the heart of the VideoMic Pro is an all-new 1/2" condenser capsule that provides broadcast-quality audio via a 3.5mm minijack connector (outputting the mono signal to both left and right channels) with an incredibly low self-noise of just 14db. A super-cardioid polar pattern ensures that surrounding audio is minimised, and your recording is focused on the subject in front of the camera.
The integrated Rycote® Lyre® based shock mounting system separates the VideoMic Pro capsule and electronics from its mount, providing isolation from external physical factors that may cause unwanted rumble and vibrations in the microphone. Constructed from a single piece of hard-wearing thermoplastic, the Lyre® provides superior acoustic suspension to traditional elastic solutions, and will never wear out, sag or snap.
Easily accessible on the rear face of the microphone are the power, filter and level controls. In addition to the microphone's native 40Hz-20kHz response a selectable high-pass filter at 80Hz is available, which will prevent low end noise such as air conditioners and traffic from being recorded.
Below these controls are the level settings, which attenuate or boost the recorded level as required. The -10dB level attenuation (or PAD) is ideal for recording loud sound sources, such as live music, motorsport, or interviews where the subject is very close to the camera. The +20dB level boost is designed for use with DSLR cameras, allowing the user to reduce the camera's preamp level (or mic-input level), effectively reducing the amount of noise generated by the camera's comparatively low quality audio circuitry.
The microphone uses a standard sized shoe mount for on camera use, and features a 3/8" thread in the base of the mount for easy boom pole mounting.
The VideoMic pro is battery powered, and provides over 70 hours recording from a single 9V battery.
The RØDE VideoMic is designed and made in Australia, and covered by RØDE Microphones' industry leading 10 year warranty.

Saramonic SR-TM7 15.5" Professional Supercardioid XLR Shotgun Condenser Microphone with Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery
MFR SKU: SR-TM7 | Helix SKU: SRSRTM7
Overview
The Saramonic SR-TM7 is a professional XLR shotgun microphone that delivers clear, broadcast-quality sound to video cameras, audio recorders, and DSLR and mirrorless cameras that have XLR adapters. Its long-shotgun design enables it to excel at capturing sounds in wide shots and in situations where you cannot get close to the sound source.
The TM7 offers several useful features and has a built-in rechargeable battery for power. There are 5 illuminated buttons that are easy to adjust in low-light. The -10 dB PAD button allows you to cleanly capture loud sounds. The +6 dB high frequency boost button enhances sharpness and clarity. There are two low-cut buttons (75 and 150 Hz) that make dialog more intelligible and eliminate distracting deep bass noises, like the low rumble of vehicles and air conditioners.
The built-in lithium battery can power the TM7 for 150 hours. It can also be powered via phantom and the power button changes color to indicate energy source and battery life. A Micro-USB charging port is unobtrusively integrated into the XLR connector, and a charging cable is included. You also get a short XLR cable, a mic clip with a camera shoe mount, and a foam windscreen in the box.
The TM7 features a durable metal construction that will handily withstand the demanding world of video production. The absence of a disposable battery compartment makes the all-metal TM7 more lightweight, and the built-in battery digitally controls the on-board filters and saves your settings when the microphone is turned off. A high-wind furry windscreen that was designed specifically for the TM7 called the TM-WS7 can be used when shooting outdoors in windy conditions (sold separately).

Saramonic VMIC Recorder Super-Cardioid Video Microphone with Built-in Audio Recorder
MFR SKU: VMIC-REC | Helix SKU: SRVMICREC
Overview
The Saramonic Vmic Recorder is a premium on-camera shotgun microphone with a built-in high-resolution audio recorder that delivers broadcast-quality sound to DSLRs, mirrorless cameras and video cameras and provides many useful features. Specifically designed for DSLR, Mirrorless and Video Cameras that lack a microphone input or users that want to record to an external recorder as well as their camera. There are two outputs on the Vmic Recorder, one for your camera and another for headphones — so you can always listen to your audio while recording or even when your camera lacks a headphone jack. The built-in audio recorder captures rich and detailed sound with resolutions up to 24bit 48kHz, and like all Saramonic products, the Vmic Recorder is incredibly easy to use.
A backlit LCD screen with an intuitive menu system is provided on the rear of the Vmic Recorder, and a push-button joystick lets you quickly do a range of functions like controlling the headphone volume, adjusting the recording level, and turning on the low-cut filter, which makes dialog more intelligible and eliminates distracting rumble sounds. The exterior of the Vmic Recorder is constructed with durable metal and was built to survive the not-so-gentle world of video production. The robust integrated shockmount features a camera shoe mount and a metal 1/4 20 tripod thread for more mounting options.
In addition to impressive sound quality, the Vmic Recorder also efficiently utilizes power. It gets 9 hours of operation time when recording, and 10 hours when used as a shotgun mic and it runs on 2 standard AA batteries. Audio is recorded onto a MicroSDHC card (sold separately), and it’s compatible with up to 32GB capacities. Plus, the Vmic Recorder can be used as an excellent-sounding on-camera shotgun microphone even when you’re not recording. A foam windscreen is included for indoor use, and for outdoor recording in higher winds you can use the fitted VMIC-WS furry windscreen (sold separately).
