Still with the best-in-class Rycote Lyre suspension system on board, the RØDE VideoMic Pro+ improves on the existing VideoMic Pro capsule/line tube and windshield, and boasts a host of new features including an automatic power function – ideal for the run-and-gun shooter – which turns the microphone off when unplugged from the camera, a built-in battery door makes replacing the battery a breeze, and power options to rely on either an included RØDE LB-1 Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery, 2xAA batteries, or continuously via micro USB. And digital switching ensures that you have ultimate capture of the audio signal at the source, thereby reducing post production and editing times.
