There’s no need for batteries as it draws power from its 3.5mm connection and there aren’t any complicated switches or controls, simply plug the microphone in and hit record on your camera or smartphone to capture professional audio. Focused and Clear Audio VideoMicro II is a true shotgun microphone which means it's designed to clearly capture sound from in front of the microphone while rejecting unwanted noise from the sides and rear. It utilises RØDE’s revolutionary annular line tube technology to deliver full-bodied and superior clarity that’s never before been heard in such a compact microphone. Ready For The Road Measuring just 80mm in length and weighing just 39 grams, the VideoMicro II is astoundingly compact, but it’s also incredibly rugged. It’s built with pro-grade components and housed in a tough all-metal body, making it perfect to keep in your camera kit, backpack or even your handbag. Complete Kit For Professional Recordings RØDE’s innovative HELIX isolation mount is tailor-made for the VideoMicro II to provide unmatched protection from knocks, bumps and handling noise. The microphone also comes with deluxe foam and furry windshields, as well as a pair of cables that allow you to connect to devices with either a TRS or TRRS connection. Review: A cost-effective way to improve the quality of your sound recordings - I recently wanted to purchase an external mic for my camera and spent a fair amount of time researching various options. I decided on this model for a couple of reasons. Firstly it is lightweight and small which is important for me as I sometimes mount my camera on a gimbal so need a mic with a low profile and ideally a low weight. This fits the bill on both accounts and doesn't cause any issues with snagging when fitted on a Sony ZV-E10 II mounted on a DJI RS 4 Mini The second reason is that Rode are one of the best-known manufacturers of microphones and have a reputation for quality. This model doesn't disappoint and gives excellent sound quality, noticeably better than the internal mic on the camera. Despite the light weight, the mic doesn't flop around as much as the previous version did - the design of the mount has been updated and this is an obvious improvement over the original. I also own the older version and the mic would flop down in use - this one is a lot more solid. The mic comes with a foam pop filter which is easy to fit, plus a furry "dead cat" filter. The mount fits to any camera hot shoe as well as a standard cold shoe mount on external brackets etc... The supplied cables give you the option to plug into both TRS and TRRS devices. Often the cables are a bit of an after-thought, however the ones supplied with this mic are perfect for on camera use, being short and very flexible. This particular mic isn't powered, so there's no need to fit a battery - this helps keep the size and weight down too. Overall, I've been very pleased with this - it's a great quality mic for the price and a good way to improve the sound quality of your videos without adding to the size and weight of your camera. It's easy to spend a fair bit more than this, but so far I've not felt that I'm missing out on any of the features of the more expensive mics. Review: Great budget mic - Nice size compact unit. Good sound and shock mount is nice. Looks professional. I only use it for wildlife sounds, so its good enough for this. If I was recording more critical audio such as interviews, I would use a much more high end mic costing 10 times the price. But its a good budget mic ## Features - Ultra-compact on-camera shotgun microphone that instantly improves the audio quality of your videos - Highly directional pickup pattern ensures you clearly capture your subject and nothing else - Incredibly compact and lightweight, measuring just 80mm in length and weighing 39g, VideoMicro II fits in every backpack, camera kit and handbag - Innovative HELIX isolation mount system protects your audio from knocks, bumps and handling noise - No complicated controls and no battery required – capturing professional sound is as simple as plugging in and hitting record - Rugged construction with a tough, all-metal body and pro-grade components - Everything needed for professional recordings, including deluxe foam and furry windshields and cables for both TRS and TRRS devices ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BM8HQL6L | | Antenna Location | Video Conference | | Audible Noise | 22 Decibels | | Audio Sensitivity | 30 Decibels | | Best Sellers Rank | 5 in Camcorder External Microphones | | Box Contents | VideoMicro II; HELIX Isolation Mount; Foam Windshield; Furry Windshield (WS12); SC7 TRS to TRRS Patch Cable; SC13 TRS to TRS Patch Cable | | Brand | RØDE | | Brand Name | RØDE | | Colour | VideoMicro II | | Compatible Devices | Cameras, Camcorders, Smartphones, Tablets | | Connectivity Technology | Auxiliary | | Connectivity technology | Auxiliary | | Connector Type | 3.5 mm Jack | | Connector type | 3.5 mm Jack | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 1,203 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Metal | | Frequency Response | 20 KHz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00698813009879 | | Hardware Platform | Camera | | Impedance | 2000 Ohms | | Item Dimensions | 8 x 2.2 x 2.2 centimetres | | Item Type Name | N / A | | Item Weight | 24 Grams | | Manufacturer | Rode | | Manufacturer Part Number | VideoMicro II | | Microphone Form Factor | Shotgun | | Model Name | VideoMicro II | | Model Number | VideoMicro II | | Model name | VideoMicro II | | Number of Batteries | 1 Nonstandard Battery batteries required. | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Polar Pattern | Super Cardioid | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Warranty | 1 year (extending to 2 years after product registration) | | Recommended uses for product | Video Conference | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 78 dB | | Special Feature | Lightweight | | Special feature | Lightweight | | UPC | 698813009879 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** RØDE - **Colour:** VideoMicro II - **Compatible devices:** Cameras, Camcorders, Smartphones, Tablets - **Connectivity technology:** Auxiliary - **Connector type:** 3.5 mm Jack - **Model name:** VideoMicro II - **Polar pattern:** Super Cardioid - **Recommended uses for product:** Video Conference - **Special feature:** Lightweight ## Images ![VideoMicro II Ultra-Compact On-Camera Shotgun Microphone for Recording Audio with a Camera or Mobile Device - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61krZUAD3NL.jpg) ![VideoMicro II Ultra-Compact On-Camera Shotgun Microphone for Recording Audio with a Camera or Mobile Device - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71yY6VdyTnL.jpg) ![VideoMicro II Ultra-Compact On-Camera Shotgun Microphone for Recording Audio with a Camera or Mobile Device - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819lskbKKfL.jpg) ![VideoMicro II Ultra-Compact On-Camera Shotgun Microphone for Recording Audio with a Camera or Mobile Device - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Y-nF3nBXL.jpg) ![VideoMicro II Ultra-Compact On-Camera Shotgun Microphone for Recording Audio with a Camera or Mobile Device - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ooVqCRj9L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this attach easily to an iPhone?** A: I attached it easily with a lightning to Jack adapter.

Good sound and shock mount is nice. Looks professional. I only use it for wildlife sounds, so its good enough for this. If I was recording more critical audio such as interviews, I would use a much more high end mic costing 10 times the price. But its a good budget mic ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice little package but disappointed with the volune *by J***N on 18 February 2024* I video using an iPhone and wanted to produce a better sound quality than the built in mic achieves. I must say I’m a bit disappointed that whilst I guess it might produce better quality sound, the volume is really quiet and I’ve had to figure out ways to get it really close to my mouth and increase the volume in post production. I should say that this is primarily designed for use on a camera and I also use an extender cable to get it closer to my mouth. ## Frequently Bought Together - RØDE VideoMicro II Ultra-Compact On-Camera Shotgun Microphone for Recording Audio with a Camera or Mobile Device - SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I Memory Card - C10, U3, V30, 4K UHD, SD Card - SDSDXXD-128G-GN4IN --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/493834727-videomicro-ii-ultra-compact-on-camera-shotgun-microphone-for-recording](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/493834727-videomicro-ii-ultra-compact-on-camera-shotgun-microphone-for-recording) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
