Saramonic VMIC Super-Cardioid Shotgun Condenser Video Microphone for DSLR Cameras - Black
MFR SKU: VMIC | Helix SKU: SRVMIC
Overview
The Saramonic Vmic is a premium on-camera shotgun microphone that delivers broadcast-quality sound to DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, video cameras and audio recorders and provides a versatile array of features at an affordable price. It has a durable metal construction that will handily survive the demanding world of video production. An impressively robust integrated shockmount isolates the Vmic from unwanted vibration noise. In contrast, the shockmounts on competing shotguns are often flimsy and prone to bending and damage.
Another feature you won’t find on competing shotgun microphones is the built-in headphone output on the Vmic, which always enables you to hear your sound, even when your camera lacks a headphone jack. All of the controls on the Vmic are easy to use and easy to access. It has a +20dB boost setting that lets you to turn down your camera’s noisy preamp in order to achieve an ultra-clean sound as well as letting you pick up subjects from further away. The -10dB setting lowers the sensitivity of the Vmic so you can cleanly capture audio in loud environments. A low-cut switch makes dialog more intelligible and eliminates unwanted deep bass sounds, like distracting vibration noises from footsteps. A high-frequency boost setting enhances the sharpness and clarity of the sounds you capture.
A short, coiled output cable is included to connect to your camera or recorder. This cable is easily removable which allows you to use any 1/8“ (3.5mm) cable in its place. When you need more length than the included 8-inch cable provides, you can easily swap it out for a longer one. A foam windscreen is included for indoor use, and for outdoor recording in higher winds you can use the VMIC-WS fitted furry windscreen that was designed for the Vmic (sold separately). The Vmic is an excellent sounding shotgun microphone that outperforms competing products that are considerably more expensive and doesn’t have the compromises of microphones that are similarly priced.

Saramonic VmicLink5 HiFi RX5+TX5 5.8GHz Wireless Lavalier System with Portable 3-Channel Camera-Mountable Receiver
MFR SKU: VMICLINK5HIFI | Helix SKU: SRVMICLINK5HIFI
Overview
The Saramonic VmicLink5 RX5 + TX5 is a portable camera-mountable UHF wireless microphone system that delivers premium, broadcast-quality sound — and it does most of the work for you. The system works flawlessly right out of the box. Just plug in the mics, turn on the power and go. Scanning to find the best channel and syncing the transmitter and receiver all happens automatically, so you get more time to concentrate on your shoot. If it detects potential interference, it automatically switches the frequencies for you. All of these features not only make the VmicLink5 HiFi simple to use but create the easiest possible workflow.
The VmicLink5 utilizes the 5.8GHz frequency range, which is much higher and less congested than 2.4GHz, UHF, and VHF. No other commercially available wireless systems work in the 5.8GHz range. Each unit gets 6 hours of power from included lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, so you won’t be wasting money on disposable batteries.
The included RX5 receiver weighs around half as much as most camera-mountable wireless receivers, so it won’t weigh you down. The receiver also features individual level controls for each transmitter and a headphone output enables real-time audio monitoring if your camera lacks a headphone output. Locking 1/8” (3.5mm) mini-plug and XLR output cables are both included so you can use the VmicLink5 with DSLRs, mirrorless, cinema, camcorders, recorders and professional video cameras.
The transmitters feature a locking 1/8” (3.5mm) microphone input and a dedicated line input that makes wirelessly capturing audio from an external source a snap. The TX transmitter also features a combination Power/Mute button which can be “locked” when in use to prevent accidental muting or powering off.
A custom molded carry case is also included, providing an easy way to transport the VmicLink5 or to provide even more protection when in a bag. Additionally, optional output cables (sold separately) are available, giving you unrivaled connectivity. They make it possible to connect the receiver to smartphones, tablets, computers, GoPro cameras and more.
- Incredibly easy-to-use with plug-and-play operation, headphone monitor output in case your camera lacks a headphone jack, up to 6 hours of power from included lithium-ion rechargeable batteries
- Perfect for DSLR, video cams and portable audio recorders for interviews, event videography, film dialog, field recording, broadcast TV and news gathering
- Operates in 5.8GHz frequency range which is less congested than 2.4GHz, UHF and VHF, detects interference and automatically switches channels

Saramonic VWS Professional Windshield & Suspension System (Zeppelin/Blimp) for Shotgun & Pencil Microphones
MFR SKU: VWS | Helix SKU: SRVWS
Overview
The Saramonic VWS is a professional windshield and suspension system for shotgun and pencil microphones that gives you the ability to capture clean-sounding audio in extreme weather conditions. The advanced shock mount suspension system eliminates unwanted vibration and handling noise and performs excellently when used outdoors in high winds, or when used indoors for interior boom pole work, stand usage, or when used handheld with the pistol-grip handle. This is the ideal blimp solution for the Saramonic TM1, TM7, and NV5 shotgun microphones, but it can also perfectly accommodate almost every industry standard shotgun and pencil microphone, up to 14.9” (380mm) in length with a diameter of 0.75-0.91” (19-23mm).
The overall angle of the shock mount and blimp can quickly be adjusted to optimize the position of the microphone. A short, coiled XLR cable is built into the handle and shock mount unit to make it easy to connect microphones without concerning yourself with cable routing. The internal cabling also helps to create a seamless structure to diffuse rushing wind. An acoustically transparent furry windscreen acts as the external layer of the VMS, and it can easily be removed for use in milder environments. A 3/8“ thread at the base of the handle enables you to attach the VMS to boom poles, like the Saramonic Magic Boom Pole, and the 1/4” 20 thread adapter is also included to give you near limitless mounting options.
If your productions move rapidly from interior to exterior shots, the VMS can quickly be modified for those tasks. The rear and front domes of the are easily removable, and an integrated slide rail lets you quickly take off the main blimp housing. Likewise, the system is easy to break down and pack at the end of a shoot, and a carrying pouch is included for convenient storage and transport. All of the components are ultra-lightweight, so they won’t weigh you down when you’re working or moving your gear. The Saramonic VWS enables you to confidently achieve professional-level sound quality in adverse outdoor conditions with a wide variety of shotgun microphones at a remarkably budget-friendly price.
