RODE VideoMic GO II-H Ultracompact AnalogUSB Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone

The RODE VideoMic GO II‑H is an ultra‑compact shotgun microphone engineered for modern creators who want professional‑quality audio with simple plug‑and‑play usability. Designed for on‑camera use with DSLR, mirrorless, and mobile devices, its supercardioid pickup pattern focuses sensitivity on sound directly in front of the microphone while reducing noise from the sides and rear—perfect for vloggers, run‑and‑gun shooters, interviews, livestreams, and content creation on the go.

Featuring advanced annular line tube acoustic technology, this mic delivers rich, full‑bodied directional sound in a lightweight and portable form factor. It offers two connection modes in one unit: analog 3.5 mm TRS output for cameras and recorders, and USB‑C digital output for computers, smartphones, and tablets—making it a hybrid solution that adapts to a variety of recording setups.

No batteries or onboard switches are required; the mic runs on either bus power from USB or plug‑in power from compatible camera audio inputs. An included foam windshield helps reduce wind noise during outdoor recording, and the innovative Helix isolation shockmount minimizes handling and vibration noise for cleaner results.
