【RODE】Shotgun condenser microphone for video cameras. There are some marks on it. The VideoMic Rycote is a professional-grade 1/2-inch condenser shotgun microphone designed for use with home video cameras and personal audio recorders. The integrated shock mount system, based on Rycote Lyre, isolates the VideoMic capsule and electronic components from the all-metal shoe mount, eliminating external physical factors that can cause unwanted vibrations and noise to the microphone. Constructed from a single piece of durable thermoplastic, it is unlikely to sag, wear out, or break. The Lyre also provides superior acoustic suspension capabilities compared to traditional elastic methods. The base of its standard-sized shoe mount has a 3/8-inch groove, allowing for easy attachment to boom poles and stands. By adopting a supercardioid polar pattern, the VideoMic has high directivity, focusing on sound sources in front of the camera while minimizing any surrounding sounds. In addition to the microphone's native 40Hz-20kHz response, a high-pass filter can be set to 80Hz to prevent low-frequency sounds, such as those from air conditioners and vehicles, from being recorded. By using the selectable -10dB and -20dB level reduction functions (or PAD) from inside the battery compartment, you can record loud sound sources such as live music and motorsports competitions.
