The **Rode VideoMic Pro+** is a professional-grade shotgun condenser microphone engineered for mobile journalists, vloggers, budget filmmakers, and run-and-gun shooters who demand broadcast-quality audio from a compact, camera-mountable solution. Built on a supercardioid polar pattern with low-noise electronics, it isolates your subject with directional precision while rejecting distracting ambient sound from the sides and rear. Rode has packed the VideoMic Pro+ with unmatched versatility: a 3-stage gain control (+20 dB / 0 dB / -10 dB), selectable bass roll-off (75 Hz or 150 Hz), a treble-boost for enhanced speech intelligibility, and a selectable safety channel to guard against unexpected distortion. Flexible power via the included rechargeable LB-1 lithium-ion battery (up to 100 hours), standard AA batteries, or USB means you will never be caught without power on location. ### Key features - **Supercardioid Directional Pickup:** Focuses on sound directly in front while attenuating noise from sides and rear, delivering cleaner audio than any built-in camera mic. - **3-Stage Gain Control (-10 / 0 / +20 dB):** Digitally switched precision gain lets you match any camera preamp or recording environment without signal degradation. - **Up to 100-Hour Battery Life:** The included rechargeable LB-1 lithium-ion battery keeps you shooting all day; swap to AA batteries or USB power in seconds for zero downtime. - **Selectable Safety Channel:** Records a duplicate audio signal at a lower level simultaneously, protecting your take from unexpected peaks and accidental distortion. - **Bass Roll-Off & Treble Boost:** High-pass filter at 75 Hz or 150 Hz eliminates rumble from HVAC and traffic, while the high-frequency boost enhances dialogue clarity and detail. - **Integrated Shockmount & Improved Windscreen:** The combined shoe/pole shockmount isolates handling vibrations, and the redesigned windscreen minimises wind noise for cleaner outdoor recordings. ### Specifications Type Shotgun Condenser Microphone Polar Pattern Supercardioid Output 3.5mm TRS (Dual-Mono) Gain Control 3-Stage: -10 dB / 0 dB / +20 dB High-Pass Filter 75 Hz or 150 Hz Bass Roll-Off Power Options Rechargeable LB-1 Li-Ion (up to 100 hrs), 2x AA Batteries, or USB Safety Channel Selectable duplicate audio signal at reduced level Mounting Integrated Shoe/Pole Shockmount Auto Power Defeatable Auto On/Off via plug-in power detection Cable Detachable straight 3.5mm TRS cable included ### Frequently asked questions **How long does the Rode VideoMic Pro+ battery last, and what are my power options?** The included LB-1 rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 100 hours of continuous use per charge. If it runs low, you can instantly swap to two standard AA batteries (sold separately) or power the mic via a USB connection to an external battery pack or charger, so you are never without power on a shoot. **What is the safety channel on the Rode VideoMic Pro+ and why does it matter?** The selectable safety channel records a duplicate audio signal at a reduced level alongside your main signal. This means that if an unexpected loud sound overloads your main recording, the safety channel preserves a clean, undistorted backup, preventing you from losing a critical take. **Can the Rode VideoMic Pro+ be used on a boompole as well as a camera hot shoe?** Yes. The VideoMic Pro+ features an integrated shoe/pole shockmount that attaches directly to both a camera hot shoe and a standard boompole, making it equally at home as an on-camera mic for vlogging or run-and-gun shoots and as a boomed mic for more controlled narrative productions.
