Shotgun microphones such as the VideoMic Pro have a narrow
pick-up angle or polar response, and so can be used to great effect
with cameras for news gathering, weddings or sporting events.
The VideoMic Pro can be used in any situation where you want to
listen to what’s in the shot, not what’s at the side or out of view.
Regular use of the VideoMic Pro will provide you with better
results as you become more familiar with its sound and pick-up
characteristics.

88 Powering the VMP
The VideoMic Pro runs on a standard 9V
battery. (ANS1:1604A or IEC:6LR61).
We recommend using a high quality
lithium or alkaline battery to achieve the
+
–9V
Installing the battery
To install the battery, open the battery cover located on the front of
the VideoMic Pro, just under the windshield foam. To remove the
cover, firmly push upwards on the indentation with your finger. Pull
the base of the cover out to completely remove it, and provide access
to the battery compartment (see Figure 1).
Insert the battery with the negative terminal (-) on top. The battery
will protrude a little until it is pushed in by replacing the battery cover.
best possible battery life. The VideoMic Pro will run continuously for
over 70 hours with a high quality alkaline or lithium battery.
Battery performance may vary depending on ambient temperature
and battery shelf life, so it is wise to always carry a spare battery.
We suggest always installing a fresh battery when the application is
critical, with no opportunity to re-shoot.
Always remember to switch off the VideoMic Pro when not in use.

the top at an angle then pushing down
on the base.
Replacing the battery cover
To replace the battery cover, insert the top at an angle, hooking it
under the lever indicated by the arrow in Figure 2. Then push down
at the base (pushing the battery into the compartment) until the
bottom clips of the battery door click into place.
10 Mounting on the camera
The VideoMic Pro incorporates a standard camera shoe mount
on the underside of the shock mount cradle. Designed to reduce
handling and mechanical noise being carried through from the
camera to the microphone, the camera shoe mount also has a 3/8”
thread at the bottom to allow mounting on tripods and boompoles.
Some older model and low cost cameras may produce a higher
level of mechanical noise, which can be picked up by the VideoMic
Pro. The integrated High Pass Filter should be switched on to
reduce the resulting low frequency rumble. (See HPF breakout on
page 13)
Before sliding the camera shoe into place, loosen the fastening ring
by turning anti-clockwise until it is loose enough to fit easily into
your camera’s shoe mount. Once the shoe is in place, gently tighten
by turning the fastening ring clockwise until the VideoMic Pro is
seated firmly in place.
