A big leap forward from Rode, and an even bigger leap forward for all variety of video makers.
This upgraded version of VideoMic Pro is smaller, lighter and superior to Rode's original VideoMic, and has some improvements to the original VideoMicPro.
Now featuring a Rycote suspension system specific to high end video, VMP also evolves many of the features that have made the VideoMic so successful.
Noise transference has been significantly reduced using both a revised, more elegant shock mounting system and a lightweight premium cable.
