The VideoMic HD is an RF-bias true condenser shotgun microphone based on the popular NTG3 shotgun mic. It has a supercardioid pickup pattern for excellent off-axis attenuation and reduced feedback. An integrated blimp and shock mount provide protection against wind and handling noise so your recordings sound as clean as possible. There is a 3-level high pass filter that can be set at 0, 75, or 150Hz to reduce low-end rumble and hum. A high frequency boost switch provides increased intelligibility when miking at a distance.
