Rode VideoMic Rycote

RØDE VideoMic Rycote directional microphone (RØDE). The RØDE VideoMic Rycote is a condenser shotgun microphone for cameras with a mini-jack microphone input. Its supercardioid pattern favours sound in front of the camera, while the Rycote Lyre suspension reduces vibration transmitted from the camera body. The microphone uses its own battery supply and provides a switchable high-pass filter and signal pad.
