Product Description
This VideoMic from Rode is a cost effective shotgun microphone that can easily be mounted on a video camera because it features an integrated shockmount that attaches to the camera's shoe. The VideoMic is lightweight, and when mounting on a camera it does not appear in the frame. Fuzzy Windjammer is made of an artificial rabbit fur material for maximum protection against wind noise. Its super-cardioid polar pattern attenuates sounds from the sides. The result is a signal that sounds closer to the camera, even when shooting in noisy environments or at moderate distances.
- Kit includes 2 items:
- Rode Video Mic
- Fuzzy Windjammer
- Fuzzy Windjammer Greatly reduces noise by providing enhanced wind diffusion
- Directional Video Condenser Microphone

camcorder microphone : Rode VideoMic with Fuzzy Windjammer Kit Reviews
| 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful  Excellent price for excellent product!, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Rode VideoMic with Fuzzy Windjammer Kit (Electronics) I was a little skeptical about this product at first given how little of a description it had, but after doing research elsewhere and deciding that this was the best price for this product, I am very satisfied with this purchase.I shot this video using this microphone: [...] I filmed with a refurbished Canon Vixia HFS200, which was the first time I used that camera as well. There could have been a little more audio editing, but all in all the audio quality is not bad given what I set out to do, which was to make an online video, not an Oscar nominated film. With that in mind the audio is great, and much better than any on-board microphone that was initially installed on the camera. Again, if you want clean audio for a decent price, this is a great way to go. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful  Good enough... not perfect, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Rode VideoMic with Fuzzy Windjammer Kit (Electronics) This version of the Rode kit comes with a nice extra - the wind noise blocker similar to a dead cat. All in all worth the money as a decent shotgun for DSLR work. Next step up shotgun will be more than double the price point and will require XLR preamps.Pros -Reasonably good sound - much better than DSLR and close to a portable recorder -Light - because it's all plastic it does not add much weight to the camera -Battery seems to last a long time -Power light makes it easy to see if its left on -Coiled cord is a nice feature making it good for cable management on DSLR -Free wind screen with this kit Cons -Sound not up to par of XLR mics with some internal noise at 1KHz -Very cheap feeling - the whole thing is cast in typical chinese plastic part look and feel. No aluminum to be found -Weird shape means it leans to the right (see photos) and is a bit off center. -Wider pickup pattern than other shotguns of this...

Mounts directly onto the cameras hot-shoe and comes with a good quality shock mount and extra bands. There's an optional filter which I've never used but the typical full-on provides great quality audio which I've used on location, in studio and for a few minor foley sounds. Upwards from this I'd still recommend Rode with the NTG-2 and beyond that it's Sennheiser but then you're getting to $500+.A few drawbacks: the coverage area is a bit wide, it's mono (not stereo) and the cord can cause some awful noise if you don't wrap it carefully. |
