Clear, focused audio recordings wherever you go! The VideoMic GO is both compact and lightweight, yet delivers a clear, crisp sound with a cardioid pickup pattern and exceptional ease of use. The pickup area is directly in front of the microphone, allowing the desired signal to be effectively separated from side and background noise. The built-in Rycote Lyre shock mount protects the microphone from bumps and vibrations that can appear very unprofessional. The Lyre band is made from durable and nearly wear-free thermoplastic, ensuring a disturbance-free suspension of the microphone. The VideoMic GO has no complicated controls and is powered through the camera's microphone input – no battery is required, so you can always shoot on the go. The VideoMic GO is developed and manufactured in Australia.
