Rode Video Mic Pro+
$100.00 /day
The premium industry-standard Rode VideoMic Pro+ on-camera shotgun microphone, engineered with a supercardioid polar pattern, an integrated Rycote Lyre shock mounting system, and next-generation automatic power management, now available for rental in Hong Kong. Built to deliver crystal-clear, broadcast-quality audio directly to mirrorless cameras, digital cinema rigs, or portable recorders. (Note: This rental package covers the microphone core kit with necessary cables; external audio recorders are available separately.)
A 10% damage waiver fee will be applied to your order in the rental basket unless proof of own insurance can be supplied.
The Rode VideoMic Pro+ On-Camera Shotgun Microphone is the definitive, globally acclaimed audio capture utility designed for professional videographers, run-and-gun documentarians, and commercial production crews, making it a high-demand core asset for equipment hire in Hong Kong. Built around a premium condenser capsule and a highly directional supercardioid polar pattern, this compact shotgun mic isolates dialogue and ambient sound directly in front of the lens while cleanly rejecting unwanted background noise on busy city streets.
When executing an equipment hire for fast-paced commercial production sets, corporate interview environments, or dynamic event coverage in Hong Kong, achieving pristine secondary audio capture with zero on-set failure is paramount. The VideoMic Pro+ stands out with its intelligent automatic power management system, which automatically turns the microphone on and off in sync with your camera’s plug-in power path. It also features a built-in safety channel option that duplicates your audio stream to a secondary track at a lower volume level ($-10\text{dB}$), completely protecting your recording from unexpected audio clipping or sudden loud bursts of sound.
Applicable Scenarios:
-
Run-and-Gun Street Documentaries: Captures crisp, highly directional ambient sound and interview dialogue while moving through bustling, noisy locations in Central or Mong Kok.
-
Corporate Video Interviews: Mounts cleanly via a standard cold shoe onto mirrorless camera setups inside tight office environments in Kwun Tong to ensure broadcast-ready dialogue quality.
-
On-the-Go Event and Vlogging Coverage: Pairs flawlessly with handheld gimbals or compact production rigs to deliver premium, low-noise audio capture with absolute zero mechanical vibration tracking.
-
Directional Supercardioid Polar Pattern: Highly focused acoustic field recording minimizes ambient off-axis sound bleed, isolating your subject’s voice with absolute clarity.
-
Intelligent Automatic Power System: Automatically powers on when connected to a camera’s microphone jack and powers down when unplugged, drastically extending battery longevity.
-
Integrated Rycote Lyre Shock Mounting: Hardened thermoplastic structure completely eliminates physical handling noise, cable rumble, and unwanted mechanical camera vibrations.
-
Dual-Track Safety Channel Configuration: Intelligently records a secondary audio path at a lower volume parameter ($-10\text{dB}$), safeguarding your data stream against unexpected clipping.
-
Precision Three-Stage High-Pass Filter: Features selectable flat, $75\text{Hz}$, or $150\text{Hz}$ low-cut frequencies to cleanly eliminate low-end air conditioning hums or heavy traffic rumble.

Q: Is a professional external audio field recorder, a DeadCat furry windshield, or a camera body included inside this standard rental package?
A: No, it is not. This specific rental listing covers the standard Rode VideoMic Pro+ core microphone kit (including the microphone body, rechargeable battery, foam shield, and standard 3.5mm connection cable). It is intended for production teams who plan to connect the mic directly to their camera body or already have their own field gear. If you require advanced multi-track field recording or outdoor wind protection, please consider adding our Zoom H6 Recorder or a Rode DeadCat VMP+ furry windshield to your Hong Kong gear allocation.
-
Q: What is the main structural benefit of the automatic power system on the VideoMic Pro+?
A: One of the most common mistakes on fast-paced sets is forgetting to turn on the microphone before hitting record, resulting in silent footage. The VideoMic Pro+ incorporates an intelligent power path that senses plug-in power from your camera’s 3.5mm microphone jack. When you turn your camera on, the mic turns on automatically; when you power down or unplug the cable, the mic instantly powers off to preserve its rechargeable battery life.
-
Q: Can this microphone be powered using standard AA or AAA alkaline batteries if the rechargeable battery runs out?
A: Yes, absolutely. While the microphone comes with a high-capacity Rode LB-1 lithium-ion rechargeable battery that can be charged via Micro-USB, it can also be completely powered by two standard AA alkaline batteries. This dual-power redundancy gives your crew complete peace of mind when executing long shooting days across remote locations in Hong Kong.
-
Q: How is the rental fee calculated?
A: The rental fee is calculated on a 24-hour basis per rental period at Dream Scenes Studio Hong Kong.
-
Q: Is a deposit required?
A: Yes, a corresponding deposit is required for all equipment rentals in HK.
-
Q: What payment methods are accepted for the deposit?
A: We accept credit card authorization for the deposit, which is fast and convenient for local and international crews.
