The Stereo Videomic Pro:
Stereo Videomic Pro on-camera microphone The NTG-3 long shotgun (now in black) is also now listed: RDE Microphones - NTG8 Presumably it's OK to discuss these now that Rode has put details up. |
Re: Rode Introduces Two New Microphones – Built in Digital Recorder
Any word on pricing?

A couple links direct back to RODE...

Re: Rode Introduces Two New Microphones – Built in Digital Recorder
I figure it has to be at least $600 since it has a NTG-3 capsule. It would still be worth it for me, but maybe pricey for many users. I'm glad they didn't skimp on the quality of the microphone. The only thing I'm not sure is how to deal with it in an interview situation when I want the shotgun on the interview subject. Maybe long headphone and camera cable? Calibrate the meters on the DSLR so I can watch the levels? Of course to adjust, I'd have to run into the shot. But with 24-bit, I can probably keep the level low enough to avoid peaks.

Re: Rode Introduces Two New Microphones – Built in Digital Recorder
I got a note from RODE sales manager that the VideoMic HD will be around $299. That would be great news.
|
Re: Rode Introduces Two New Microphones – Built in Digital Recorder
Let's hope you're right Taky, that would be a great news. I do think that Rode should provide the list price of the product with their Press Release.
|
Re: Rode Introduces Two New Microphones – Built in Digital Recorder
OH.. I read that email again. It looks like the MSPR for Stereo VideoMic PRO will be $299, not the videoMic HD. Sorry for the wrong info. If I hear anything about videomic HD, I will report =)
|
Re: Rode Introduces Two New Microphones – Built in Digital Recorder
Got email back from RODE. No pricing for VideoMic HD yet. It will be available in second half of 2012.

Re: Rode Introduces Two New Microphones – Built in Digital Recorder
the videomic HD is one great product!
|
Re: Rode Introduces Two New Microphones – Built in Digital Recorder
What is happening with the Videomic HD? Any new infos about price in the US and availability? Thanks!
|
Re: Rode Introduces Two New Microphones – Built in Digital Recorder
What happen with this Videomic HD with integrated recorder? It sounded like a very interesting product but I've seen nothing since the announcement.
|
Re: Rode Introduces Two New Microphones – Built in Digital Recorder
I talked to RODE regional sales manager in April. He said VideoMic HD won't be available till end of this year. Pricing would be about $1K.
|
Re: Rode Introduces Two New Microphones – Built in Digital Recorder
Thank you Taky. This one will be too expansive for me.
|
Re: Rode Introduces Two New Microphones – Built in Digital Recorder
Wow! Pricey! Aussie's love their money!
|
Re: Rode Introduces Two New Microphones – Built in Digital Recorder
Considering the NTG 3 is $700. I don't think the 1K price is unexpected. If this thing is done right, it really could make audio for DSLR shooting much, much better and super convenient. I'm hoping this thing has pots for headphone, mic and aux input levels. If it does, it will be worth every penny. And quality-wise it should blow the VideoMic Pro out of the water.

Re: Rode Introduces Two New Microphones – Built in Digital Recorder
Well it's a NTG-3 in a VM PRO body AND a solid state recorder in the one rig. It'll easily handle the DSLR chores .. but it is taking a while to appear after it was announced.
http://www.rodemic.com/news/announci...deo-microphone A mic and a recorder together need careful isolation. Cheers. |
Re: Rode Introduces Two New Microphones – Built in Digital Recorder
No one seems to have picked up yet that the NTG-8 has slots on one side only, most all other shotguns have slots or vents on both sides.
After exhaustive tests the Rode crew found it didn't them, makes the body stronger too. Cheers. |
