RODE VideoMic Overview

From Manufacturer

The Stereo VideoMic Pro Rycote from Rode builds on the success of the Stereo VideoMic Pro with a few improved upgrades such as a Rycote Lyre shockmount, higher-sensitivity X/Y capsules, denser foam windscreen, better RF shielding, and a thicker Kevlar braided cable. The microphone retains all of the switch locations and other features as the previous model, for use as an on-camera DSLR and camcorder microphone for video applications.

The integrated Rycote Lyre shockmount system protects against handling noise. The Stereo VideoMic features a high-pass filter switch at 75 Hz for minimizing low-frequency noise, and a -10 dB pad for maximizing headroom on behalf of capturing loud signals without distortion. The +20 dB level-boost switch is specifically designed to provide a higher-quality signal with DSLR cameras. When activated, the camera preamp level is reduced, resulting in a lower noise floor and a much clearer recording.

Does this mic with the +20dB have enough output ...

Does this mic with the +20dB have enough output to drive line level input on S1RII. I need to bypass bass rolloff of mic preamp?
Asked by: Mark
The RODE Stereo VideoMic Pro Rycote does feature a +20dB gain boost, but it is still fundamentally a mic-level output device. Even with the +20dB boost engaged, its maximum output level is around +6.9 dBu, which is below standard line level (typically around +4 dBu for professional gear or -10 dBV for consumer gear).

How does this compare with Sennheiser MKE 440 ...

How does this compare with Sennheiser MKE 440 Compact Stereo Shotgun Microphone? (Using with regular video camera.)
Asked by: Nesanel
The RODE Stereo VideoMic Pro Rycote will work in the same exact way as the Sennheiser MKE 440, so apart from its slightly higher SPL maximum and slightly wider frequency response, the differences will be largely subjective.

question

Why does my left channel reaches lower compared to the right one when recording?
Asked by: Miguel C.
Try using a set of headphones I know mine had to be sent in for warranty repair because the wiring for some reason was causing a noise in one channel of the mic so that might be something to check

Is there a recommended travel case for this mic? I haven't been able to find any zipper like cases to keep it protected while in the camera bag.
Asked by: Sam
You may be able to use a padded bag like the K-Tek KGBM1 Medium Gizmo Bag (B&H # KTKGBM1) or perhaps something like the Ruggard Lens Case 6 x 4.5" (B&H # RULCY16X4) or the larger models. As long as the mic will fit, it should provide the protection you need.
