help Rode VideoMic Pro+ FAQ
What kind of microphone is the Rode VideoMic Pro+?
The Rode VideoMic Pro+ is an on-camera shotgun microphone for DSLR, mirrorless, and video cameras. It uses a directional pickup pattern to focus on sound in front of the camera more than sound from the sides.
How is the VideoMic Pro+ powered?
It can use Rode's rechargeable LB-1 lithium-ion battery, AA batteries, or USB power depending on setup. That flexibility is one reason it became popular with run-and-gun video shooters.
What does the VideoMic Pro+ do for vlogging audio?
It improves voice capture compared with most built-in camera microphones, especially when the subject is in front of the camera. It also includes useful controls such as a high-pass filter and safety channel features for handling sudden loud peaks.
Does the Rode VideoMic Pro+ plug into a camera or an audio recorder?
It commonly plugs into a camera's 3.5 mm microphone input, but it can also feed a recorder with the right input. It is not an XLR broadcast shotgun like the Rode NTG series, so it is aimed more at camera-mounted production.
