Saramonic Vmic5 Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone

Saramonic Vmic5

The Saramonic Vmic5 camera-mount shotgun microphone is a compact and lightweight solution designed for vloggers, content creators, mobile journalists, and run-and-gun videographers seeking clear, high-quality audio for video shoots. Featuring a supercardioid polar pattern, it focuses on sound in front while minimizing noise from the sides, significantly improving on-camera audio capture. The integrated shockmount with a built-in shoe mount ensures easy attachment to cameras or tripods while reducing vibration noise, and the coiled TRS cable allows tidy connection to your camera or recorder. The mic’s onboard controls include a two-stage gain adjustment (+10 dB for clean gain with noisy preamps, 0 dB for high-quality preamps) and a 150 Hz high-pass filter to eliminate low-frequency noise such as wind or footsteps. Powered by an internal USB-rechargeable battery offering up to 150 hours of use or by USB bus power, the Vmic5 works with devices that lack plug-in or phantom power. Its main 3.5mm output connects to cameras, mixers, or recorders via the included cable, while a headphone output allows real-time monitoring, even on cameras without headphone jacks. For expanded connectivity, the removable cable can be swapped for separately available adapters like 3.5mm to Lightning for iPhones, USB-C for Android devices, or TRRS for smartphones and modern computers. The mic comes with both a foam windscreen and a furry windshield for reliable performance in indoor and outdoor environments, ensuring your recordings are clear and free from distracting wind noise.
