Saramonic VMIC5 Pro Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone

The Saramonic Vmic5 Pro Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone is a compact professional super-cardioid on-camera shotgun mic. The light and sturdy ABS construction offer optimal durability. It has an advanced shock mount with camera-shoe and 1/4-inch-20 mounting. The full-sized shotgun with a 5 x 0.9-inch (126 x 23mm) interference tube with a 14mm capsule delivers a full-frequency and detailed, broadcast-quality sound with focused directionality and excellent off-axis rejection. The flexible sonic controls with a 3-stage Gain Control: +20dB / 0dB / -10dB, selectable High-Pass Filters: 75Hz / 150Hz, and +5dB High-Frequency boost to ensure the best sound in any scenario.

Optimal Sound Quality with Advanced Controls

The microphone features a super-cardioid polar pattern that provides focused directionality and excellent off-axis rejection of audio from sides and rear with a full-sized interference tube. The Vmic5 Pro is capable of reproducing the wider frequency response of a professional XLR shotgun, but with a 3.5mm output and a much smaller, lightweight form factor. The Vmic5 Pro features a powerful array of audio controls to tailor the mic’s sound and performance to get an optimum recording. It features a handy auto power function, turning the Vmic5 Pro on when you power up your camera and off when you power down, automatically.

Ergonomics

VMIC5 Pro is packed with impressive features and flexible sonic controls, yet still sleek, lightweight, and compact. This microphone is ideal for advanced content creators, filmmakers, journalists, and vloggers looking for a versatile shotgun that can give their productions the best possible sound. It is an ideal choice for DSLR, Mirrorless, and Video Cameras shooters who need the sound and performance of a real shotgun mic but needs a mic small enough for run-and-gun action. The Vmic5 Pro is rugged enough to survive the demanding world of video production and still fit in your camera bag.

Smooth Mechanism

The Vmic5 Pro features a 3.5mm headphone output to monitor your sound, a vital feature if your camera lacks a headphone out. It features a side-mounted 3.5mm microphone output with a short, coiled cable to connect to cameras, mixers, and recorders. The removable cable allows users to use any 3.5mm TRS output cable or adapter in its place. The Vmic5 Pro also features an internal 2000mAh lithium-ion battery with up to 120-hours of runtime and can even be powered externally, via its USB-C (DC 5V/1A) charging connector.

Unstoppable Action

Whether you are filming indoors, or outdoors, the Vmic5 Pro is ready to film anywhere, anytime. Both a foam windscreen and a furry windshield are included. Allowing you to film with confidence wherever the action is, without the need to purchase additional wind protection. An advanced integrated shock mount isolates it from unwanted vibration noise when in motion and includes a camera shoe mount allowing you to easily mount it to cameras, boom poles, stands, camera cages, and tripods with ease.
