VIDPRO XM-50 CAMERA-MOUNT SHOTGUN MICROPHONE. Whether mounted on your camera or placed on a tripod, the Vidpro XM-50 condenser shotgun microphone delivers high-quality directional audio without adding weight. Its compact and lightweight design includes indoor and outdoor wind protection along with an integrated vibration-reducing shockmount to minimize residual noise. Unlike omnidirectional mics built into most cameras, the XM-50’s supercardioid polar pattern provides focused frontal pickup with less ambient noise. It operates for up to 120 hours on two AA batteries (sold separately) and connects via the attached 3.5mm TRS cable. Onboard switches allow gain control and high-pass filtering for optimized signal quality at the mic. Key Features: Directional shotgun condenser capsule captures more focused, detailed sound for intelligible speech with minimal background noise. Easy hookup with permanently attached 3.5mm TRS cable compatible with DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, camcorders, and portable audio recorders. Headphone port enables real-time audio monitoring to verify clarity and prevent distortion. Long battery life up to 120 hours with LED power indicator and On/Off switch. 80 Hz high-pass filter reduces low-frequency noise from traffic or machinery. 3-stage gain control (flat, +20 dB, -10 dB) allows quick adjustment for loud or quiet sources. Integrated shockmount inhibits vibrations and attaches via a camera shoe mount with 1/4" thread. Foam windscreen and furry windshield provide protection for indoor and outdoor recording.
