Rode VideoMic Go II

Rode VideoMic Go II

The Rode VideoMic Go II is an ultra-compact shotgun microphone that allows you to capture professional audio quality. It features a revolutionary acoustic design just like the VideoMic NTG and NTG5 professional shotgun microphones. They use RØDE's innovative annular line tube technology for unparalleled transparency and rich, full sound. It improves the sound quality on any device it is connected to. Being a smaller compact version of the NTG, it gives creators the sound of the highly regarded NTG shotguns, but in a convenient camera-mount microphone that works with cameras, portable recorders, iOS, and Android mobile devices, and USB-equipped computers. The VideoMic GO II runs on plug-in or USB power. This allows you to use it without batteries. There are also no complicated switches or controls, making it easy to use. 

Use the VideoMic GO II as a traditional shotgun microphone for your DSLR, or turn it into a digital microphone by connecting it to your smartphone, tablet, or laptop with separately available cables. In both configurations, it delivers focused directivity, low noise and isolation from external vibration. Connect the VideoMic GO II to your computer, smartphone or tablet via USB to use it as a USB digital microphone for direct recording into your favourite software. When used as a USB microphone, the 3.5 mm jack acts as a headphone output for monitoring the live signal or playback from a host device.

The VideoMic GO II uses supercardioid to record sound from the front while muffling sound from the side and back.  

A detachable 3.5 mm TRS cable is included to quickly connect your camera. The cable has a dual mono configuration so that the microphone signal is sent identically to both input channels of the camera or portable recorder. 

The VideoMic GO II comes with a foam windscreen to minimize unwanted noise from light breezes, fans, heaters, and air conditioners. For maximum reduction of outdoor wind noise, consider another windshield such as the Rode WS12 (sold separately).
