Rode just launched the VideoMicro II, an ultra-compact and lightweight on-camera shotgun microphone for content creators seeking to record high-quality audio with a camera or mobile device.
We reviewed the Rode VideoMic Go II, (opens in new tab) and it earned 4.5 out of 5 stars and won our coveted Editor’s Choice award. We’re expecting the same level of quality and performance from the VideoMicro II.
The VideoMicro II features Rode’s innovative annular line tube technology, which delivers highly transparent and directional sound ideal for content creators and filmmakers.
