VM-6 Camera Microphone, Alctron

The VM-6 is a professional on-camera microphone with very useful video-oriented features. It has a three-position level control, so you can react instantly to changes - no need to fumble with your camera's sound control! A built-in damper helps prevent picking up camera operation noise, and an 80Hz filter makes it easy to remove wind noise without affecting the overall sound of your recording.

The VM-6 features a 3/8" threaded mount for quick installation on your microphone rod. And it's easy to take with you anywhere - just 15 centimeters in length and 85 grams in weight for broadcast-quality sound without installing a separate microphone and recorder.
