Rode videomic pro rycote is a supercardioid shotgun/directional microphone for on-camera use. Perfect for video, vlogging, interviews, and film production where you want better audio than a camera&
For this category, it’s a buyer’s market at this price: €120 sits right on the median of recent comparable EU listings, with the market spanning roughly €71 to €220, so this is a fair, middle-of-the-road asking price rather than a bargain or a stretch. It’s not the kind of listing that needs aggressive haggling, but it also doesn’t have much room for error unless the condition and extras are especially good.
This model is popular for a reason: it’s an easy, plug-and-play on-camera shotgun mic with a useful built-in Rycote suspension that helps keep handling noise down and makes it a solid step up from basic bundled mics. If it includes the original windshield, mount, and cable, that adds real value; at a fair price, a clean example is a sensible buy for anyone wanting better dialogue capture without spending new-item money.

RØDE Microphones traces its roots to 1967, when Henry Freedman, a London-born sound engineer, and his Swedish wife Astrid founded Freedman Electronics in Australia after emigrating from Europe. Their son Peter, inspired by a Chinese large-diaphragm condenser microphone spotted at a 1981 Shanghai trade show, imported and refined it into the NT1 in the early 1990s, formally launching the RØDE brand—its distinctive 'Ø' nodding to the family's Scandinavian heritage. From modest PA installations, the company evolved into a global force, acquiring Event Electronics in 2006 and Mackie in 2023.
The brand excels in professional and consumer microphones, particularly condensers like the NT1 and NT2 series, alongside dynamic models such as the Podcaster and Procaster tailored for broadcasting and podcasting. RØDE also produces video microphones, USB interfaces, and accessories, with manufacturing rooted in Australia using locally sourced metals. While not focused on traditional hi-fi categories like amplifiers, speakers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables, its audio gear bridges studio, content creation, and live sound.
RØDE holds a strong mid-tier position in the pro audio market, prized by podcasters, filmmakers, and engineers for reliable, high-value performance that rivals pricier competitors. Its Australian-made quality and innovative accessibility have built a loyal following among knowledgeable creators seeking pro-grade tools without boutique premiums, cementing its reputation as a modern essential rather than vintage or high-end esoterica.
