The RODE VideoMic Pro+ is engineered to deliver professional-quality audio with its supercardioid polar pattern, which ensures highly focused sound capture from the front of the microphone while rejecting ambient noise from the sides and rear. This feature is especially valuable for run-and-gun filmmakers, documentarians, and vloggers who need to isolate voices or important sound sources while minimizing background noise in challenging environments.

Integrated with the Rycote Lyre shockmount, the VideoMic Pro+ effectively isolates the microphone from handling noise and vibrations. This suspension system minimizes unwanted noise caused by camera movements or external vibrations, ensuring clean and clear audio in on-the-go shoots. The Rycote Lyre is durable and resistant to sagging, providing long-lasting performance.

The VideoMic Pro+ features digital switching that gives users enhanced control over audio settings. With high-pass filter (75Hz/150Hz), high-frequency boost, and a -10dB pad, the microphone adapts to various recording environments, reducing low-frequency rumble, enhancing speech clarity, and preventing distortion in loud settings. These settings are accessible directly on the microphone, providing easy adjustment during production.

One of the standout features of the VideoMic Pro+ is its automatic power function, which powers the microphone on and off when connected or disconnected from a camera. This feature helps conserve battery life and simplifies workflow, ensuring that you never miss capturing audio due to forgetting to turn the microphone on.

The RODE VideoMic Pro+ is powered by the RODE LB-1 rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which provides up to 100 hours of operation on a full charge. It can also run on standard AA batteries or via micro-USB power, giving users flexibility in the field. The quick-release battery door allows for fast battery changes, making it perfect for extended shoots or outdoor production where recharging may not be convenient.

With a frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz, the VideoMic Pro+ captures a broad spectrum of sound, ensuring rich and detailed audio. The included foam windshield helps reduce wind noise during outdoor recording, making the microphone suitable for field work, news reporting, and documentaries.

Despite its advanced features, the VideoMic Pro+ remains compact and lightweight, easily mounting on top of DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and camcorders via a standard cold shoe. The microphone's 3.5mm output connects effortlessly to cameras and audio recorders, making it a reliable tool for professionals and beginners alike.

The RODE VideoMic Pro+ is perfect for filmmakers, vloggers, documentarians, and journalists who require a versatile, high-quality microphone for on-camera audio capture. Its broadcast-grade sound, advanced digital controls, and flexible power options make it ideal for interviews, live events, run-and-gun filmmaking, and studio recording.
