Directional Video Condenser Microphone
The RODE VideoMic is a professional grade shotgun microphone. Based on the latest 'Film industry' technology, the VideoMic is designed specifically for use with high quality Digital Video Cameras.
The microphone exhibits low noise and an unusually wide bandwidth for its size. It is ultra lightweight, yet rugged due to it's ABS construction. The VideoMic is powered by a standard 9V battery and offers a Low Battery LED status indicator and a switchable high pass filter to reduce unwanted low frequency rumble.
The VideoMic attaches to any Camcorder that has the standard camera-shoe fitting and utilizes a stereo mini jack for audio output.

Value for money:
Not had much chance to use the microphone yet but it seems to work OK on my Canon R5. The only niggle is that when it is mounted on the hot-shoe you are unable to use the EVF as your forehead catches on it. I have overcome this by making an extension bracket to move the microphone further forward (as in the picture) and all is now OK, that is the only reason for marking it down under 'Ease of use'.
