Switch from using the built-in mic on your camera or portable recorder to the Rode VideoMicro ultracompact camera-mount shotgun microphone for improved sound quality and wind noise reduction without adding heft to your rig. Since it runs on plug-in power and has no controls or switches, the VideoMicro is a simple and reliable microphone ideal for mobile journalists, vloggers, and run-and-gun shooters.
This ultracompact and ultralightweight shotgun microphone features a detachable shockmount that mounts directly to your DSLR, mirrorless, or video camera and reduces noise from vibrations and camera handling. The supplied furry windshield minimizes wind noise, making it well suited for outdoor shoots. The detachable coiled 3.5mm TRS cable ensures easy hookup to your camera, and the dual-mono output means that no channel selection is necessary on your recording device.
Provide accessory mounts for the Nikon Z 50 Mirrorless Camera with the Vlogging Mounting Plate from SmallRig. The plate features multiple 1/4"-20 accessory threads on the side and bottom, and on the side of the unit a side plate integrates with a cold shoe mount for a mic or light. Additionally, the plate maintains access to the camera's tilting screen. A built-in flat-head screw connects the plate to the camera's tripod mount, and rubber pads protect the bottom of the camera when it's mounted on the plate.
