Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. I have a RODE VideoMic (not Pro) that I mount on my camera's hot shoe. I find when I look through the viewfinder that the rear of the microphone assembly is pushing against my forehead. It's not comfortable, it defeats the damping effect of the mount, and I can't get my eye fully up to the viewfinder. Is the clearance the same on the Pro? Any suggestions on how to mount the mic further forward to avoid this problem?
A: You could simply add a small extention to the camera shoe to move the mic forward a bit. . https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/752863-REG/Vello_SE_10_SE_10_Hot_Shoe_Extension.html
Q: 2. How can I connect this microphone to the DJI Osmo Mobile 2? Can I connect with an O-Ring Hot Shoe?
A: Hello Marcelo, as far as connecting the VideoMic Pro to the phone, you would need to adapt to TRRS for your phone. The Rode SC4 works perfectly for this. http://www.rode.com/accessories/sc4. I, unfortunately, cannot answer for the Osmo Mobile 2 or the O-Ring Hot Shoe. However, I don't see any reason they shouldn't work.
Q: 3. I know for the fact that this mic uses A9 battery. is there anyway I can get rechargeable A9 battery for my mic ?thanks
A: The Rode VideoMic Pro with Rycote Lyre shockmount uses a 9V battery for power. You may use a rechargeable 9V battery which are available for sale here: https://bhpho.to/2EMFXhr
Q: 4. Is it compatible with the Canon Vixia G40?
A: I use it with a Canon 70D and its great. If the G40 has a mic input I'd say yes.
Q: 5. Is it compatible with Fuji X-T100?
A: Yes, you would need the adapter BH #COASMFSSMM for that compatibility. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/317225-REG/Comprehensive_SMPS_MJS_Stereo_3_5mm_Mini_Female.html
Q: 6. How to connect to camera when mounting VideoMic Pro on a boom arm? Can I use a 10' 3.5mm TRS extension cable? Or can I plug into the a Rode Wireless Go and connect to the camera wirelessly?
A: The Rode VideoMic Pro Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone could be connected to the camera over a cable such as the Rode VC1 3.5mm TRS Microphone Extension Cable for Cameras (BH #ROVC1) while mounted to a boompole. The VideoMic Pro can also be set up for wireless transmission by connecting to a wireless microphone transmitter and receiver system such as the Rode Wireless GO II (BH #ROWGIIS).
Q: 7. Will this mic work with Canon XA30?
A: The Canon XA30 offers a stereo 1/8 (3.5mm) mini microphone input for use with this microphone.
Q: 8. We're considering one or two of these for use in videorecording theatrical performances. They would feed an external audio recorder (Zoom H6), and we also have a patch direct from the soundboard, for the wireless-mic'd performers. Right now we use a couple of Crown floor mics ( boundary mics ), and in some shows, the foot-thumping noise is pretty loud. Would a couple of the Rode Pro's, set near the front of the stage work for theatre in the way I'm describing?
A: A pair of these might work out for you pretty well. Mounting them on stands or small rubber- footed tripods would help isolate them an decouple them from the floor as well.
Q: 9. Will this work with the FZ300 Panasonic ?
A: Hello Clarissa, yes, this should work just fine together. It appears the FZ300 has an external microphone input, and the Rode VideoMic Pro has its own battery, therefore it won't need power from the camera.
Q: 10. Will this be suitable for wildlife / background natural sounds (birds, frogs, crickets, night sounds, etc.)?
A: Yes and no. Its a shotgun mic so it is very directional. Sounds not directly in front of the mic will not be picked up very well. Rode makes a similar mic that captures more ambience which might be more of what you are looking for.
