Originally released in 2010, the RODE VideoMic Pro quickly became an industry standard on-camera shotgun microphone for professionals and enthusiasts alike. With its small form factor, superior audio quality and industry first +20db level boost, it was the perfect companion for DSLR cameras as they became the go-to device for high definition video capture.

Determined to raise the bar again in 2015, RODE’s all new VideoMic Pro features the acclaimed Rycote Lyre suspension system, along with an upgraded microphone capsule, improving both the physical characteristics and audio performance of the microphone.

Already implemented on the VideoMic and VideoMic GO, the Rycote Lyre suspension system is widely regarded as the best microphone shock mounting solution available. Featuring a suspension structure composed of a hard-wearing thermoplastic, it is far more effective at minimizing unwanted vibrations, handling and cable-borne noise than traditional elastic suspensions. Virtually indestructible, the Rycote Lyre will never sag, snap, wear out or require rethreading to maintain its effectiveness.

When combining the VideoMic Pro R with an audio extension cable and stand with boom arm, you find yourself with a truly versatile audio recording setup. The included 25′ 3.5mm extension cable allows you to place the mic right above your talent and place the camera a good working distance away. The stand with boom arm allows for achieving just the right microphone height, which works great for sit-down style interviews.
