Designed to help vloggers, content creators, mobile journalists, and run-and-gun videographers achieve clear, high-quality audio capture for their video shoots, the compact and lightweight Saramonic Vmic5 Pro camera-mount shotgun microphone offers even more level and tone controls than the Vmic5, along with focused supercardioid directionality, convenient headphone monitoring, and auto power. Its integrated shockmount allows easy mounting on a camera shoe or tripod while inhibiting vibrations and handling noise, and a detachable TRS cable is supplied for orderly wiring between the mic and your camera or portable recorder.
By operating on an internal rechargeable battery or USB bus power, the Vmic5 Pro is able to work with cameras that don't supply plug-in power or phantom power. The rear of the mic features onboard controls for the three-stage gain adjustment, intelligibility-enhancing treble boost, and high-pass filter—helpful functions that let you optimize the signal quality at the mic instead of during postproduction. The mic comes two types of windscreens for recording indoors or outside in high-wind environments.
- 3-stage gain control (versus two stages on the Vmic5)
- 2-stage bass control (versus one position on the Vmic5)
- +5 dB treble boost
- Automatic power on/off in response to plug-in power
