RØDE Announces New VideoMic GO

The new VideoMic GO from RØDE is the latest in the Australian audio company's range of VideoMic microphones for on-camera usage.
The VideoMic GO's tight pickup area focuses directly in front of the microphone and reduces other surrounding sounds, ensuring that the user can isolate their subject from distracting background noise.
At 73gm (2.5oz) it is RØDE's lightest on-camera microphone and sports an impressively compact form factor.
The VideoMic GO has no switches or settings, and is powered by the camera or recording device’s external microphone input, requiring no batteries to operate.
The microphone features an integrated suspension based on Rycote's Lyre system, which utilises a single piece of thermoplastic to isolate the microphone from knocks and bumps.
"The VideoMic GO is the perfect microphone for consumers wanting to get started shooting high-definition video with their DSLR, 'point-and-shoot' or even GoPro cameras," says Damien Wilson, RØDE's Global Marketing & Sales Director.
"We've all experienced how terrible the audio can be using a camera's built-in microphone, and the VideoMic GO is the answer to getting audio that matches the quality of the images, without the additional EQ and level features that are available on our other VideoMic models.
"This user-friendly 'plug and play' approach, combined with its lightweight, small form factor make it ideal for carrying in small camera bags, ready at any time to capture the moment."
