Rode VideoMicro II

Ultra-compact second-generation on-camera shotgun microphone, designed for mobile videographers and content creators who need professional sound quality without the extra weight and complexity. Advanced annular line tube technology in a miniaturized body only 80 mm long provides natural, rich sound previously unattainable in such compact sizes. The supercardioid directionality focuses more effectively than standard cardioid on the source in front, cutting out side and rear noise.

The Rode VideoMicro II microphone with an electret capsule covers frequencies from 20-20000 Hz, and -30 dB sensitivity is optimal for recording dialogues at typical shooting distances, while the signal-to-noise ratio of 79 dB ensures clear recording without noticeable self-noise. The HELIX shock mount is designed specifically for the microphone's geometry, providing excellent isolation from shocks and vibrations at a minimal construction height.

Weighing only 39 grams with wind protection, it does not create imbalance even on smartphones and compact cameras. No batteries required — powered via a mini-Jack 3.5 mm TRS from the camera or smartphone through plug-in power. The package includes furry and foam windshields for any shooting conditions, a TRS-TRS cable for cameras, and a TRS-TRRS cable for smartphones. The Australian-made metal body will withstand years of intensive use in the field.
