The Rode VideoMic with Lyre Suspension System is everything you need to record crystal clear audio to match the high definition video of todays cameras. The VideoMic is designed for simplicity of operation so you dont need to be an expert to get professional results. Its supercardioid polar pattern reduces sounds from the sides so you can focus on your subject. The result is a signal that sounds closer to the camera, even when shooting in noisy environments or at moderate distances. Easily mount the microphone to your DSLR camera using the Rycote suspension system that attaches to the cameras shoe. The VideoMic can also mount to Rodes boompoles for elevated audio capture. The Rycote Lyre is a non-elasticated suspension structure composed of a hard-wearing thermoplastic. This mounting system isolates your microphone from bumps and vibrations that could otherwise interfere with your sound. An attached, coiled cable terminates to a 1/8" (3.5mm) mini output connection. The VideoMic features a condenser element that utilises a standard 9V battery (sold separately). The microphone will run for approximately 100 hours on a single battery.
