Rode VideoMic Pro

Description

This compact, directional, on-camera condenser microphone has proven very useful in the age of DSLR shooting. Easily attached to your camera with a shoe mount, or even a boom with its 3/8""" mount, this directional mic will hear what you point it at. Whether you're looking for a decent scratch track, or you need to fly low profile and only go with an on-board mic, this inexpensive option from Rode can do the job.

Owner's Notes

The VideoMic Pro has the same characteristics as the VideoMic. The only difference is that it has a smaller profile.

Hello World, was great. They were helpful when I stopped by to get the equipment, and were easy to work with.

February 2016

Pickup and drop off times were flexible and convenient. The DK2 was easy to setup and didn't run into any problems with the hardware.
Located near the F station at 23rd street which is incredibly convenient for me.

Great equipment in very good condition. Worked beautifully.

A pleasant experience with confirmation, pick up and drop off. I'll be back!

Great experience. Thanks so much!

Fantastic service and right by my office! Can't wait to use again. Thank you

Awesome 1st time rental experience with Hello world and Kitsplit. Fast response to my inquiries !

April 2016

It couldn't have been easier to rent from Hello World. I even had an issue with parking, as I am not a big studio and did not have a commercial vehicle, so parking on the street to go up and get my rental was not possible. I called them and they brought it down to me since I was alone and couldn't leave the car! Returning it was a simple drop and go....but not before I took a homemade chocolate chip cookie that was warm out of the oven on the counter. Very nice place and nice people. Just note that if you have something large to pick up and you do not have a commercial vehicle, it is advisable to bring someone with you to stay in the car while you pick up.

I had a great experience renting from Hello World Communications. The canon lens I reserved was ready hours before I scheduled and had the opportunity to pick up earlier!

Hello World was great to work with!

These guys were great and they even had fresh baked cookies at the reception desk

April 2016

The team was very responsive throughout the whole process day and night and even on weekends. The gear was in great condition and it was very easy picking up and returning. They even helped me during the weekend when I had questions about the use.

This was my first time renting from Hello World and it was a great experience. I work for a production company only a few blocks away and I'm glad I found them through KitSplit! I'll definitely be renting from them again.

Good Service

Hello World Communications was very easy to rent with. They are conveniently located on 22nd St between 6th and 7th Ave's. It was a 123 process, I picked in 2 min and dropped off in 1 min. Very simple + the staff was very friendly!

Hello World is an awesome shop! Easy communication and great gear. Thanks again!

Great equipment

October 2016

The customer service from HWC was great (especially Alex at the front desk who was very responsive when small issues came up with needing to update the Oculus software and me not having the Admin password). They were also really great about not rushing me when I took time to look over the equipment before picking it up, and lent me an extra cable at no charge when I realized I would need more length of USB to connect the Oculus.

When I returned the equipment they were great about asking what I did and offering to show me other equipment while I was there in person.

I would definitely rent from HWC again, as well as recommend to others.

The fast and super friendly. They were able to adjust to my schedule which was super helpful.

Great place to rent from. Fast and friendly. Zero hassle. I will continue to rent from them and I highly recommend them.

Great, easy transaction! Will definitely use again!

My first time using KitSplit and had a very good experience. Service was fast and accommodating.

They were friendly and helpful.

Hello world made it simple and easy to rent the gear we needed. Having the gear and professionalism of a major rental house combined with the simple insurance options of Kitsplit made a world of difference.

July 2017

All of the equipment worked well! HWC was extremely polite. The rental associate forgot my lens/bag at first, but luckily I remembered and quickly went back to retrieve it! Woo! When returning the equipment, HWC later informed me that a speedring was missing, but it turned out that was not the case. Other than that, great experience! I would rent from them again!

Great experience!

wire went in and out and ruined several takes. Also I recommend they put a sign outside there building because if you don't have the building number you'l be clambering around for 40 minutes like I did trying to find the location.

Everything worked beautifully this time thanks!
