The Korena take

RØDE’s VideoMic is a directional on-camera condenser microphone for consumer video cameras and personal audio recorders. Its integrated shock mount separates the microphone assembly from the all-metal shoe mount to reduce rumble and vibration reaching the recording. Point it toward the subject in front of the camera, then use the selectable 80Hz high-pass filter when low-frequency noise is a concern. Internal -10dB and -20dB pads give you level-control options for loud sources such as live music or motorsport.
