Rode VideoMic

The RØDE VideoMic is a professional grade 1/2″ condenser microphone designed for use with consumer video cameras, digital SLRs and personal audio recorders. An in-built shock mounting system isolates the VideoMic capsule and electronics from its standard sized shoe mount, providing isolation from external physical factors that may cause unwanted rumble and vibrations in the microphone.

Its standard sized shoe mount also includes a 3/8″ thread in the base for easy mounting on a boom pole or stand. (note that cameras with proprietary sized mounts require an additional adaptor.)
