Product Information

High frequency boost – enhancing detail and clarity in your recordings, ideal for when you are using a deadcatwindshield. Super-cardioid polar pattern – delivering more directional audio, focusing on sound from the frontwhile rejecting sound from the sides. High frequency boost – perfect for enhancing detail and clarity in your recordings, especially when using a deadcat windshield Compact design – the VideoMic GO is larger than the VideoMicro, measuring 167mm long, making it more akin to a classic shotgun mic. This also means it’s a little heavier at 73g, though this is still very light.

Automatic power function – detects when the mic is unplugged from your camera, turning the power off to help conserve battery life Like the VideoMic Pro+, the Stereo VideoMic X is designed to offer maximum flexibility when shooting in the field, with an arrayof features that will ensure your audio is always broadcast-grade. One of the most important features is the XLR outputs, which allow you to output to an external recording device rather than your camera. This will significantly improve the quality of your audio, as these will have better preamps and more features. At 300g, the Stereo VideoMic X is heavier than the Stereo VideoMic Pro and is better suited for use with professional camera rigs rather than handheld DSLRs. It is the perfect mic for critical recordings – nature documentaries, music performances and sports broadcasts, and much more.The microphone uses a standard sized shoe mount for on camera use, and features a 3/8" thread in the base of the mount for easy boom pole mounting. Note that cameras with proprietary shoe mounts will require an adaptor or alternative mounting solution. 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 such as the Canon 5DMkII, Canon 7D, Canon 1D, Canon 550D/T2i, Canon 60D, Nikon D7000, Nikon D5100, Panasonic GH1 and Panasonic GH2. This boost in the microphone output allows 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.

No battery required – the VideoMic GO also runs on plugin power from your camera or recording device. No battery required – rather, it runs on plugin power delivered directly from your camera or recording device ( you can read more about different types of power here).The Shure VP83 F LensHopper (the model with integrated flash storage) is one of my favoritecamera-mounted shotgun mics for a DSLR, especially if you are not using an external mic pre-amp or mixer. The main reason is the fine boost control that you don’t see on other similar mics – you can change the gain up to +60dB in 1dB increments – allowing you to get the perfect level right on the mic! Like its mono sibling, the VideoMic Pro, the Stereo VideoMic Pro is the industry standard in on-camera stereo audio capture. It even shares a similar feature set. Digital switching – controls high-pass filter, - 20dB pad, high-frequency boost, and safety channel. RØDE VideoMics are the perfect on-camera microphones for a huge range of filmmaking applications.
