Rode has upgraded their Stereo VideoMic Pro, an on-camera stereo microphone for DSLR cameras. The new Stereo VideoMic Pro now features a Rycote Lyre suspension system, which claims to isolate the capsules and electronics from mechanical vibration and handling noise.
The upgrade also contains a set of all-new, matched-pair condenser capsules with an improved foam windshield, giving the new Stereo VideoMic Pro even higher sensitivity and lower self-noise. Also a thicker, Kevlar-reinforced braided cable has been introduced. These improvements allow the Stereo VideoMic Pro to be used in conjunction with the RØDELink Wireless System, or Wi-Fi heavy locations without fear of RF interference ruining critical audio takes.
