Rode VideoMic Rycote

Rode's VideoMic with Rycote suspension system is a directional shotgun microphone made specifically for your DSLR camera. For convenience, the Rycote suspension system enables the mic to be mounted on the shoe of your camera. As the mic is extremely lightweight and its capsule has a super-cardioid polar pattern (which focuses on the sound in front), recording sound at the same time you are capturing the video will be extremely easy. Add to easiness the studio-like sound quality; the mic brings the front-sounds closer to the camera, even if you are in a noisy environment.
