I<\/strong> have always recommended the Rode Video Mic as my on camera shotgun mic of choice for DSLRs, I used it on Venice’s People to great effec<\/a>t. I was shocked at how good a camera mic could sound.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Back<\/strong> in September I met up with Damien from Australian based RODE in Santa Monica when I was there doing a workshop and he told me about the new Video Mic Pro<\/a>. I received one to test out in November and used it on my penultimate Movember film at the Gala party in a crazy loud environment with my GH2 and it performed spectacularly. An on camera shotgun had no right to sound as good as this. With it’s +20db sound option this has strong powerful sound! Unfortunately I was under an embargo on revealing the mic until it was ready for sale, well that embargo has just been lifted and I can now officially announce it!! Hurrah!<\/p>\n

It’s<\/strong> smaller than the VIdeo Mic, the perfect size for your DSLR, has better rubber bands for suspension and overall sounds A LOT better! For more tech specs check out the data sheet further down this blog. It will retail for around $230 or so and dealers should be getting stock in 2 weeks or so..<\/p>\n
