Product Overview
The RØDE VideoMicro II is an ultra-compact on-camera shotgun microphone built to instantly improve voice clarity for creators filming with cameras, action cams, and even smartphones. It’s designed to be simple and fast: no complicated switches and no batteries—just plug in and record.
It includes RØDE’s HELIX™ isolation mount to reduce handling noise from bumps and vibrations, plus both foam + furry windshields for outdoor shooting.
FutureSpark Recommendation
We recommend the VideoMicro II for creators who want the most affordable, zero-stress audio upgrade for vlogging, travel content, interviews, and run-and-gun filming—especially if you’re currently using a camera’s built-in microphone.
Best for
• On-camera audio for YouTube, vlogs, and interviews
• Travel / run-and-gun filming where setup must be fast
• Outdoor filming (includes foam + furry wind protection)
• Creators who want a super lightweight mic (24g mic / 39g with mount)
When NOT to buy this
This mic is NOT ideal if:
• You need XLR + phantom power workflows (boom + recorder)
