The RODE VideoMic Pro-R is engineered to deliver broadcast-quality audio in a compact form factor. Its supercardioid polar pattern ensures that it focuses on capturing sound directly in front of the microphone, making it ideal for isolating voices and important sound sources while minimizing background noise. This makes the VideoMic Pro-R perfect for documentary filmmakers, vloggers, journalists, and content creators who need professional sound with minimal setup.

To reduce unwanted vibrations and handling noise, the VideoMic Pro-R features an integrated Rycote Lyre shockmount. This advanced suspension system provides superior isolation from handling bumps and external interference, ensuring your recordings remain clean and professional even when filming on the move. The Rycote Lyre is made from durable thermoplastic material, offering long-lasting performance without sagging or wear.

The VideoMic Pro-R offers multiple audio controls, including a +20dB level boost, which is particularly useful for DSLR cameras with lower-quality preamps, as it allows you to reduce camera gain and improve signal quality. The microphone also includes a -10dB pad for capturing louder sound sources without distortion and a high-pass filter that helps eliminate low-frequency noise, such as air conditioning hums or traffic sounds, allowing for versatile recording in different environments.

With a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz, the RODE VideoMic Pro-R captures a wide range of sounds, ensuring you get detailed, rich audio. Whether you’re filming interviews, capturing ambient sounds, or recording in noisy environments, the VideoMic Pro-R’s ability to capture a full frequency range guarantees that you won’t miss important audio details.

Weighing just 85 grams, the VideoMic Pro-R is lightweight and compact, making it easy to mount on DSLRs, camcorders, or audio recorders. Its portability ensures that it won’t add significant weight to your rig, allowing you to shoot comfortably for extended periods, whether you’re working in the field or in a studio.

Powered by a standard 9V battery, the RODE VideoMic Pro-R provides up to 70 hours of continuous operation, making it ideal for long shoots or remote recording sessions. The extended battery life ensures you won’t need frequent battery changes, allowing you to focus on capturing great audio.

The RODE VideoMic Pro-R with Rycote Lyre Shockmount is ideal for content creators, vloggers, journalists, filmmakers, and documentarians who need a reliable, high-quality shotgun microphone for on-camera audio capture. Its compact design, professional-grade audio, and superior shock absorption make it perfect for run-and-gun filmmaking, interviews, live events, and video production in various environments.
