The Isomax 2 All Purpose Microphone is designed to effectively capture instruments and vocals in both recording and sound reinforcement.
The Hypercardioid polar pattern is versatile and ideal for capturing vocals and instruments without off-axis noise and distortion. The directional pattern is unaffected by frequency variations and provides a high rejection.
A wide frequency response and low signal-to-noise ratio result in clean audio reproduction.
The Isomax 2 features an impressive 150dB SPL handling for maximum gain before distortion. This is ideal while close capturing instruments with high transient response.

Q: 4. Will this mic work with a dual hot shoe splitter on an a7riii? I want to use it alongside a small video light that has it's own power, so only one side has to be hot for the mic. And does the dual hot shoe need to be specifically for Sony cameras? Thanks for the help.
A: Unfortunately a multi-interface splitter does not exist as far as we have seen. In order to use a microphone along with a light, my best advice would be to select a different microphone that allows a cable to run into the microphone input on the camera. These are two possible microphones that would work in a similar price range. B&H # ROVIDEOMICRO and POSCL1075.

Q: 8. Will this mic work with GoPro Hero 6 through GoPro USB audio adapter? Thank you.
A: Yes, it should. I have the GoPro Hero 5 with the GoPro USB audio adapter and the Rode Video Micro... it really improves the sound recording of my go pro footage. If it works on the Hero 5 I don't see why it wouldn't work on the Hero 6. Worth a try!
Q: 9. will it work with a Canon 70D?
A: I have the Canon 60D and I'm experiencing the hiss from the mic. Is there a way to remove the hiss with Adobe Premiere?
