Rode VideoMic Pro+ On-Camera Shotgun Microphone

Professional on-camera shotgun microphone with a large supercardioid capsule. Features a high-pass filter, auto-power on/off via camera, rechargeable battery, and a headphone monitoring output. The standard wired audio upgrade for professional videographers and filmmakers.

GearFrame's Take

What working videographers use when they need the best wired on-camera audio. The larger capsule is audibly cleaner than compact mics, the high-pass filter cuts rumble, and auto-power saves battery. Wired simplicity at a professional level.

✅ Great For

🎬

Video The professional standard for on-camera wired audio. Cleaner, more directional and better-filtered than compact mics.

👤

Portrait Captures clean audio for behind-the-scenes and video content in portrait sessions.

✈️

Travel Heavier than a compact mic but the audio quality justifies it for travel documentary and vlog work.

🌆

Street Directional pickup handles ambient street noise well. Larger than the VideoMicro II — noticeable on camera.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
