Rode VideoMicro Compact On-Camera Microphone

Compact and Powerful On-Camera Audio Solution

The RØDE VideoMicro Compact On-Camera Microphone delivers professional-grade directional audio in a super compact, lightweight package—measuring just 80mm (3 inches) long and weighing only 42 grams (1.5 oz). It's the perfect upgrade for creators who need crisp, clean sound without the bulk of a larger microphone system, making it ideal for vlogging, filmmaking, interviews, and travel content.

Rugged Build with No Batteries Required

Crafted with an all-metal microphone body, the VideoMicro offers durability and longevity for creators on the move. Best of all, it requires no batteries, drawing power directly from your camera’s plug-in mic input (minimum 3V)—making it a truly plug-and-play solution. Designed and manufactured in Australia, it reflects RØDE’s industry-standard commitment to quality and precision.

All-in-One Kit for Better Audio Anywhere

The microphone includes everything you need to start recording immediately: a shock-absorbing shoe mount, a deluxe furry windscreen for outdoor use, and a high-quality SC2 3.5mm TRS patch cable for direct connection to DSLR and mirrorless cameras. With its directional pickup pattern, it focuses on sound from in front of the camera while minimizing background noise—ideal for dialogue, voiceover, and focused field audio.

Ideal For: Vloggers, Filmmakers, YouTubers, Journalists, and Content Creators

The RØDE VideoMicro is a favorite among YouTubers, social media creators, and mobile filmmakers thanks to its pro-level sound, ultra-portable size, and ease of use. Whether you're shooting with a DSLR, mirrorless camera, or compact video rig, this mic delivers a significant audio upgrade that keeps your content sounding as good as it looks.
