Rode VideoMic Pro Rycote Compact Directional On-Camera Microphone

Roots of the sound quality you want to record lie in the microphone you use. Rode's VideoMic Pro R is a video camera condenser microphone, taking the design of the legendary VideoMic Pro shotgun mic and adding a Rycote Lyre shock-mount, which means that you are guaranteed that the mic capsule, and in fact all of the electronics of the camera, will be perfectly isolated and your recordings will not have any additional and unnecessary noise. The Rycote shock-mount itself is made from a single piece of thermoplastic, and the Lyre provides an amazing acoustic suspension, which all results in extremely crisp and clear audio tracks. If you simply want better audio without any studio-like hassles and endless knob-tweaking, the VideoMic Pro R is the option for you, regardless if you are with your camcorder, DSLR or simply a portable audio recorder.
