Compact Directional On-Camera Microphone with Rycote Lyre Shockmount

The RØDE VideoMic Pro is a true shotgun microphone designed for use with camcorders, DSLR cameras and portable audio recorders as a source of primary and reference audio. The VideoMic pro is battery powered, and provides over 70 hours recording from a single 9V battery.

Rycote Lyre shock mounting onboard

View larger	View larger	View larger
Easily accessible on the rear face of the microphone are the power, filter and level controls. In addition to the microphone's native 40Hz-20kHz response a selectable high-pass filter at 80Hz is available, which will prevent low end noise such as air conditioners and traffic from being recorded.	Below these controls are the level settings, which attenuate or boost the recorded level as required. The -10dB level attenuation (or PAD) is ideal for recording loud sound sources, such as live music, motorsport, or interviews where the subject is very close to the camera. The +20dB level boost is designed for use with DSLR cameras, allowing the user to reduce the camera's preamp level (or mic-input level), effectively reducing the amount of noise generated by the camera's comparatively low quality audio circuitry.	The microphone uses a standard sized shoe mount for on camera use, and features a 3/8-inch thread in the base of the mount for easy boom pole mounting.

BUYER BEWARE - NO WARRANTY FROM RODE IF FULFILLED BY AMAZON

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2017

Verified Purchase

These are great mics and I've used them for years. Thew updated mounting is better than the old band system, though the fact that it sticks out isn't great for portability. I'm always afraid of crushing it .... That being said, I've yet to break it. The sound is okay for this small compact mic. I generally use it for rough b-roll sound or as a reference mic for audio syncing. If you're looking for quality sound, I would not recommend for primary sound for interviews unless you will be very close to the subject.

Great tool for the right job

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2018

Verified Purchase

I bought and returned this microphone (Rode VideoMic Pro R) and I intended to use it with my Canon 80D. I also own the Rode VideoMicro and kept that one instead.

Pros:
- Self powered condenser microphone with boost switch allowed me to turn down the volume on my camera so that there was less noise introduced from my camera's pre-amps.
- Tighter pickup pattern compared to the Rode VideoMicro which means less ambient noise bleed
- Great shock mount to remove unwanted noise from handling the camera

Cons:
- For me, the microphone was a touch too big. The new version with the Rycote Lyre mount is slightly longer and wider than the old version.
- While there is an included windscreen, it is very ineffective and doesn't do the job that the VideoMicro's dead cat does. If you plan on using this outside, you will need to purchase the dead cat for this separately and that will also add size to it.
- While the signal was hotter and cleaner, I found that even with the low-cut filter on, the sound was a tad too muddy for my taste. If you are going to record music or something that requires good bass response, then this mic is for you. If like me, you plan on only recording vocals, I found that the VideoMicro had more shimmer and brightness to it that lent well to adding clarity to vocals.
- While having battery power means a hotter signal, it also means that you need to carry an extra one in case it dies.

Conclusion:
This is a great mic and definitely captures a richer, and more detailed range of sounds than the VideoMicro, but I found the audio to be a touch muddy for vocals. For the added cost, and size, I felt that using the VideoMicro was plenty good enough for the work that I had planned. This mic is great, I just hope that this review will help you to decide if this mic is the right mic for you.

Excellent sound, assuming you know what you're actually trying to do

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2019

Verified Purchase

So, the product mount felt a bit fragile when I first examined it, but keeping in mind that I'm not going to bash the mic setup (and my camera!) against walls, I soon realized it was fine.

I had read people complaining about putting the battery in, so I carefully read the instructions and was able to remove/return the battery door on an EMPTY CHAMBER pretty easily. When I tried it with a 7-volt battery inserted, it became amazingly difficult.

After some thought and examination, I pulled off the RODE foam cover for the mic, exposing the battery mount area fully. Once I did that, putting the battery in and closing the door was easy. Kind of unfortunate that this is the easiest way to deal with it, but hardly the worst thing in the world.

Had to dial back the gain on my Nikon D850 to about 8 in order to eliminate the hiss (left the attenuation setting turned on), and then boosted the RODE by using that +20 switch. Sound was excellent, clearly audible from 10-15 feet away in a room with a ceiling fan running along with central air blowing - even better, the fan and air sounds really didn't register on the video. Sound sources from the side and behind were muted well in my tests.

Good mic, excellent for the price. No, you're not going to pick up a conversation from 50 feet away - get a wireless system if that's your goal. But if you're videoing within 20-30 feet, this thing works fine.

Great sound for my DSLR

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2017

Verified Purchase

It's a great microphone for my Canon 1DX Mark II; I was videoing an event last night and the shotgun feature of it allowed me to get great audio, without having to worry about camera noise making it into the shot. I like that it uses a 9 volt battery that lasts for 70 hours; I've used other microphones that use a AAA battery that only last for a few hours. I love that I can put on a high pass filter, or boost audio levels by 20 DB, or reduce them by 10 DB. The shock mount is solid, and isolates the sound from the camera. The audio quality is so, so much better than a built in microphone. It's also great that it outputs as dual mono to both the left and right channels - a shotgun microphone with stereo isn't such a great fit when you're sitting far away.

Needs 9v battery but great mic

Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2019

Verified Purchase

I am very happy with this mic now. At first I was not at all because the above information and videos that I watched before purchasing led me to believe that the mic comes with a lithium battery. it does NOT. Further reading said to use 2 AA batteries. that did not work at all. Please visit the official Rode website. They have all of the information that you will need if you have a question. It clearly says to use a 9v battery. I did just that and it works. Getting the battery door closed is a bit tricky and that is the reason for my lower star score under "easy to use". once I got the battery door closed everything went perfectly. The sound quality is really good. I did a test using a video camera, on each of the settings. My voice was clear and I was able to remove some of the background noise from the air conditioner. I highly recommend this mic. the price is really low for what you get. I am happy to say that this mic resolved my sound quality issues.

Wer sich mit dem "Pro" befasst, sollte sich auch das "Pro+" ansehen ...

Reviewed in Germany on July 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

Das Wichtigste vorweg: Wer unschlüssig ist, ob er das Pro oder das neuere Pro+ erwerben soll, der braucht hier nicht weiter zu lesen und kann sich direkt mit der Plus-Version befassen. ;)

Kommen wir nun zu meiner Bewertung des Micros:
An dem satten und klaren Klang des Pro gibt es nichts auszusetzen, ebenso an der sehr guten Richtwirkung. Wer sich tontechnisch überzeugen möchte, dem sei YouTube empfohlen. Dort wurde das Micro in zahlreichen Videos ausführlich getestet.

Auffällig am Pro ist die Bauweise, welche im Blitzschuh eingesetzt, die Benutzung des Suchers doch ein wenig einschränkt. Da ich zu der Benutzergruppe gehöre, die lieber mit dem Sucher als dem Display arbeitet, ist das Micro beim Filmen doch recht hinderlich. Daher habe ich mir eine kleine Platte incl. Halterung gebastelt, mit der das Pro nun etwas weiter nach vorne gerückt ist.

Das lange Kabel, welches direkt aus dem Micro kommt, sollte (sofern erforderlich) sehr sorgfältig um die Halterung gewickelt werden, um die Dämpfung nicht zunichte zu machen.

Über das Batteriefach wurde bereits alles bei meinen Vorrednern abgehandelt. Hier bleibt lediglich zu erwähnen, dass die Verwendung eines 9-Volt-Klotzes schon lange nicht mehr zeitgemäß ist. Dass es besser geht, zeigt das Nachfolgemodell Pro+.

Beim Pro+ ebenfalls verbessert ist die Ein- und Ausschaltautomatik, sofern seitens der Kamera unterstützt! Da mir bei meiner Kamera niemand sagen konnte ob die Funktion vorhanden ist, habe ich mich sicherheitshalber für das Pro entschieden. Heute weiß ich, dass dies falsch war. Meine Kamera bietet die Funktion an.

Zur Abschirmung der Windgeräusche betreibe ich das Pro stets mit einem Fifi (Windschutz), daher kann ich diesbezüglich nichts zum Betrieb ohne den Fellüberzug sagen.

Um abschließend nochmals auf meinen ersten Satz zurückzukommen: Nein, ich würde das Pro nicht nochmal kaufen, sondern zum Nachfolger Pro+ greifen. Dieses ist zwar größer, teurer und durch den rückseitigen Stecker noch mehr hinderlich im Sucherbereich, aber die Ein- Ausschaltautomatik und das verbesserte Akkusystem (Lademöglichkeit im Gerät / Verwendung handelsüblicher Batterien im Notfall) steigern die Funktionalität erheblich.

Sollte Euch meine kleine Bewertung gefallen haben, so würde ich mich über einen Klick auf den "Nützlich"-Button freuen. Vielen Dank!

Excellent sound quality

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 18, 2017

Verified Purchase

It has very good sound indeed - I use it with my Nikon DSLR on a tripod. As is well documented on YouTube reviews, to avoid hissing sounds you need to use the Rode's 20db setting and turn your camera's mic gain down - I have mine set to 7 which is about half way on a Nikon. The sound picks up really well and is very clear when I'm making YouTube videos. The other thing I found is that it's better to have the microphone mounted on a bracket and not on the camera hotshoe - this is to avoid the mic picking up autofocus noise from the lens motor. You could always turn off autofocus I guess but brackets are so cheap to buy on Amazon you might as well do that.
You don't get much in the box but then you don't need much - it's a microphone at the end of the day. But a very very good one.

Good mic but you need to be close to get the full benefit.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 1, 2017

Verified Purchase

The rode videomic pro is a improvement over the built in mics on a dslr or videocam,
It is a good mic but your subject needs to be close to it to get the full benefit and sound quality from it.
It is very good the closer you are to it, more depth and clarity over the built in mic on my dslr but the quality gets less and less the further away you are from it.
The battery cover is fiddly to get back on and is not the easiest to see which way to put the battery in.
There is a small sticker on the inside of the battery compartment showing which way to put the battery in but this could be easily missed if you did not know it was there, there is also a image on the back of the battery cover showing battery position as well. This mic is more suited for interviews and vlogging etc, it will pick up noise from behind and sides but this will not be as clear as what is in front of the mic as this is what it is for. If you were looking for a more ambient sound of the area you are in then the rode videomic stereo would be better for this purpose. If you purchase this mic you will also need to get your self a 9v battery as there is not one supplied with the mic, overall i am happy with this purchase.

It's certainly much better than the regular RODE videomic by a landslide, I most make films but it seems like it would be perfect for people that make vlogs, the 20+ boost is without a doubt the best thing about it, you'd obviously have to manually turn the volume down in your camera for the best results though, but it's awesome!

A good starter microphone

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

I have always used external microphones when I am filming anything on a camera, the internal microphones are just not good enough for anyone who takes filming seriously. This microphone is more expensive when compared to some of the other ones on offer, but I think that it is money well spent. The sound quality is excellent, allowing us to capture audio from a distance. You just have to make sure that the microphone is pointing at the audio source as it does not capture audio well from the side or back, but this microphone is designed to do that. Overall it's worth spending that extra to get one that will perform well out in the field.

Mr. Cg Goddard

Good audio quality, but is it worth the £?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 16, 2018

Verified Purchase

I bought this while heavily discounted. I would not buy it at the RRP. The audio quality is good, better than one of the budget brands? I haven't had the chance to compare.. I will say that most of the materials are plastic, and it feels cheaper than the pricetag. I imagine this is for weight saving reasons as a lot of people using this will be carrying their dslr around all day vlogging, but I'm not sure if it would last if I dropped it or treated it roughly, which I could easily do with the other Rode products which tend to be full metal bodied.

One part I do not like is that there is a little clip under the rycote mount to attach the cable, and the cable often falls out (you're meant to attach the cable here to avoid sound issues if you knock the cable during recording.

I would recommend this if you are happy with the price, however it might be worth trying a cheaper option as well.

Decent microphone, let down by build quality - power switch fell off

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 4, 2018

Verified Purchase

Used for filming an amateur Shakespeare film child-only-cast production, on-location in town parks and countryside during a relatively wind-free UK summer. The sound captured includes a fair bit of the background tree rustle, but the children's voices come through nice and clear. The attachment to the DSLR shoe works well, though I was not able to fit this arrangement into my Zhiyun Crane V2 gimbal in the 'handle-up' configuration I was using, so I mostly used this mic for static tripod-based shots.

I would have been happy with this product if it weren't for the power switch falling off. The small strip of plastic (that sits on top of the electrical switch and allows you to actuate it) fell off, initially unnoticed, presumably while I was turning the mic off for the lunch-time break in filming - when a tiny piece of plastic like that falls off in the grass, it's lost forever. When filming resume it led to a delay of several minutes while we tried to find something that could reach the switch inside to turn the microphone back on - that kind of delay is *not what you want* when half-a-dozen children have just been plonked on set, ready to give their lines.

Micrófono para Cámara DSLR de calidad muy alta

Reviewed in Spain on May 11, 2017

Verified Purchase

Este micrófono es de la marca RODE, de las mejores marcas para audio, y sobretodo para cámaras DSLR.

Tiene mucho acolchado contra viento y así mismo aunque se mueva la cámara mucho, el tipo de soporte que tiene hace que el micrófono quede suspendido en el aire y se mueva de forma suave y que no haga ruido. De esta manera no se oye ningún tipo de choque contra la cámara del micrófono.

Tiene 3 modos para grabar: Normal, -20db y +20db. El -20db es para tener un rango de captación de sonido menor. Si por lo que sea quieres grabar en casa y sabes que se suele oir ruido de coches circulando fuera, por ejemplo, al ponerlo en el -20, tendrás que hablar algo más alto, pero no captará el sonido de los coches al ser algo más lejano.

Por el contrario el +20 va muy bien cuando no hay sonido ambiente y quieres que se escuche tu voz bien alta (ya sea porque estás lejos, que capte mejor cualquier sonido).

Lo único que pondría en su contra sería que no viene con una pila incluida (aunque es normal) y que la tapa para poner la pila, cuesta mucho de quitar y poner (sobretodo poner). Pero eso asegura que el micrófono tenga mucha seguridad. La pila es la cuadrada de 9V

Así mismo, gasta poquísima pila, y puedes grabar durante muchas horas.

Tanto si estás empezando a hacer grabaciones con audio, como si llevas tiempo en el mundo, éste micrófono te va a servir de manera excepcional. Lo considero obligatorio para todo aquel al que le guste el mundo audiovisual.

Really good microphone

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 19, 2018

Verified Purchase

I was looking for an external microphone to use on my DSLR, as I do a lot of content creation work and wanted something to record the environment we work in. The space we share can be quite loud sometimes, especially during our creation, this is why I loved the decibel (DB) setting on the microphone. You can adjust it between -10(my favourite setting), 0 and +20 decibels. -10 is perfect for me as it eliminates a lot of the unnecessary noise within the room and with the microphone set to directional rather than open, this really works a charm. I’d highly recommend this microphone, especially for use in large or open environments as it has the options available to cope with this. It also works brilliants in smaller and quieter environment. You will not be disappointed with the great audio quality.

Let me down on first outing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 12, 2019

Verified Purchase

Having used two previous Sennheiser MKE400 mics previously which lasted me for years and only had to replace them due to their weak suspension mounts.. ( I do a lot of travel videos in all sorts of conditions, mainly handheld so the camera and mic need to be up to a bit of rough handling).
So I decided to go for the Rode Video mic Pro to replace my previous Sennheiser but on the first outing it let me down big time....

The sound kept cutting out intermittently and i had to constantly fiddle with the audio connector to get it to pick up sound. There were several times when i forgot to do this and ended up with video with no sound at all!! NOT HAPPY!!
This was a big trip in Peru so now have to wallpaper a lot of video with music!
Also the markings on the switches have already started to fade after the first use (see pic).

When it did work the sound quality was excellent and the suspension mount is superior to the Sennheiser but overall I AM VERY DISAPOINTED IN THIS PRODUCT and will be getting a refund and possibly looking at alternative make.
Although my previous Sennheiser's mount eventually gave way, mainly due to rough handling etc it gave me years and years of good quality sound (and markings not faded!) and without having to constantly look at the audio levels to make sure that it was recording sound which is more than can be said about the inferior Rode mic which didn't even last one trip let alone one year!!

The two stars are for the sound quality when it did work!

Sound quality is very good. However, when mounted on the camera, it does pick up the noise of the focusing motor in which case, I would suggest using manual focus mode only. Also, I do wish I had bought the extension lead at the same time. All-in-all, it is as advertised and it arrived on time.

The -10dB & +20dB ranges make this a very versatile microphone. Just a few things to note, if you're using it with an older DSLR (like the Canon 5D Mark III) make sure to turn the camera recording volume down as low as possible and use the microphone in the +20dB range, or preferably use an external video recorder as the noise floor of these cameras totally eliminates the benefits of using such a quality microphone. Whilst this mic has a shoe mount and is intended as an on-camera mic, when possible use on a boom or otherwise mounted close to your subject as you'll get much better clarity and minimise unwanted noises (this microphone has good directionality being supercardiod). All in all a very nicely designed microphone, just don't forget to turn it off after use.

Great microphone, you will really see the difference. You can find comparison videos on youtube and you should check these out before buying this to see if you really need it.

Please note: the microphone does not come with the required 9V battery, so buy some of these alongside this if you want to use it straight out of the box!

Impressive, broadcasting standard recording.

I bought this for my son who's taken to videography using his Canon D70. It fits perfectly and makes all the difference to the soundtrack recorded on to the memory card - crisp, well defined, and as claimed - to broadcast standard.

An expensive addition, but you're paying for a high quality piece of kit - and that's what you're getting. Highly recommended.
