Compact and light weight by design, the Rode VideoMic GO delivers
clear, crisp, directional audio with incredible ease of use. Its tight pickup
area focuses directly in front of the microphone and reduces other surrounding
sounds, ensuring that your subject is isolated from distracting background
noise.
The integrated Rycote® Lyre® shock mount isolates your
microphone from bumps and vibrations that could otherwise interfere with your
sound.
Constructed from a single piece of hard-wearing
thermoplastic, the Lyre® provides superior acoustic suspension to traditional
elastic solutions, and will never wear out, sag or snap.
The VideoMic GO has no complicated switches or settings and
is powered by your camera's external microphone input, requiring no batteries
to operate, ensuring you never miss a great shot.

into the output socket on the rear of the microphone.
4. Connect the other end of the 3.5mm output cable to the

clip.
Securing the cable
Securing the cable will help to eliminate undesired noise
caused by cable movement. The cable can be secured to the rear of the VideoMic
GO™, for added strain relief between the microphone and the input of your
camera.
To secure the cable, fi rst ensure that there is a small amount
of slack between the microphone output socket and the cable clip, then press
the cable into the slot on the base of the suspension mount.

The VideoMic GO™ does not require batteries for operation,

best results with the VideoMic GO™, set your camera’s audio input to the
following settings where possible.
