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.
