Unicorn Films offers the RØDE VideoMic Pro+, a broadcast-grade on-camera shotgun mic built for creators who need clean, focused sound with minimal setup. Its tight supercardioid pattern and low-noise circuitry capture clear dialogue while rejecting off-axis noise, helped by the integrated Rycote Lyre shock mount to isolate handling and camera vibration.
On-body digital switching streamlines control on set: engage the high-pass filter at 75Hz or 150Hz to cut rumble, add a high-frequency boost for extra clarity, and set the 3-stage gain at -10dB/0/+20dB to optimize for DSLR preamps or cleaner recorders. A safety channel records a lower-level backup on the right channel to protect against unexpected peaks.
Power is flexible and field-friendly: run the mic using the included LB-1 rechargeable Li‑ion (over 100 hours per charge), 2×AA batteries, or USB power. The Auto Power function (with plug-in power) turns the mic on/off with the camera to save battery and prevent missed takes. With dual‑mono 3.5mm TRS output, micro‑USB charging, and a robust build, VideoMic Pro+ is a reliable upgrade for interviews, YouTube, events, and documentary work.
Rent the RØDE VideoMic Pro+ from Unicorn Films to add clean, directional audio and smart safeguards to mirrorless/DSLR kits for interviews, vlogs, run‑and‑gun, and documentary production.
