RODE VIDEO MIC GO II - SECOND HAND

RØDE VIDEOMIC GO II – SECOND HAND

The RØDE VideoMic GO II – Second Hand is a compact, lightweight and highly versatile directional shotgun microphone designed for photographers, videographers, filmmakers, vloggers, content creators and mobile journalists who want clearer, more focused audio from their camera, smartphone, tablet or computer. Inspired by RØDE’s professional shotgun microphone technology, the VideoMic GO II uses an annular line tube design and supercardioid polar pattern to focus audio capture towards the front of the microphone while reducing distracting sounds from the sides, making it an excellent upgrade over the built-in microphones found in most cameras and mobile devices. Its 3.5mm TRS analogue output allows straightforward connection to compatible DSLR and mirrorless cameras, while the integrated USB-C digital audio output significantly expands its versatility for compatible smartphones, tablets and computers. The microphone requires no batteries when used via its standard analogue camera connection, keeping operation simple and reducing the amount of equipment required when shooting on location. An integrated Rycote Lyre shock mounting system helps isolate the microphone from handling noise, bumps and vibrations transferred through the camera, while the included windshield helps minimise unwanted wind and environmental noise during outdoor recording. Weighing approximately 89g, the VideoMic GO II adds minimal bulk to a camera rig and is equally useful for travel filmmaking, interviews, YouTube videos, behind-the-scenes content, social media production and everyday video work. For creators looking for a portable microphone that can move easily between traditional cameras and modern digital devices, the RØDE VideoMic GO II – Second Hand offers an excellent combination of directional audio capture, compact portability, simple operation and flexible analogue and USB connectivity.
