RODE first shipped their Stereo VideoMic Pro in 2012. Now in 2016, they have updated the Stereo VideoMic Pro with the Rycote Lyre suspension system, redesigned the microphone capsules, updated the cable with kevlar reinforcement, increased the density of the foam wind cover, and added RF shielding. Let's have a listen and discuss when you might choose the Stereo VideoMic Pro vs the mono VideoMic Pro.<br /><br />RODE was kind enough to send us the Stereo VideoMic Pro for review. Full disclosure: This microphone was given to me for this review, I did not purchase it with my money. I was not paid to do this review.<br /><br />If you’d like to learn how to record and post process your sound, be sure to have a look at my sound for video courses at <a href="http://school.learnlightandsound.com " target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://school.learnlightandsound.com </a> My Dialogue Sound Post Processing with Adobe Audition course just launched at the end of August 2016. <br /><br />Visit us at <a href="http://learnlightandsound.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://learnlightandsound.com</a> for more updates on how to improve your lighting and sound for video. Also be sure to subscribe to get new episodes every week! <br /><br /><br />Gear used in this episode:<br /><br />————————————————————————————— <br /><br />RODE Stereo VideoMic Pro with Rycote Suspension - Better for recording ambience<br /><br />Amazon: <a href="https://geni.us/BuxsD4N" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://geni.us/BuxsD4N</a><br /><br />B&H: <a href="https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1273119-REG/rode_stereo_videomic_pro_r_stereo_videomic_pro_rycote.html/BI/19904/KBID/12941/kw/ROSVMPR/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xROSVMPR" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1273119-REG/rode_stereo_videomic_pro_r_stereo_videomic_pro_rycote.html/BI/19904/KBID/12941/kw/ROSVMPR/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xROSVMPR</a><br /><br />————————————————————————————— <br /><br />RODE (mono) VideoMic Pro with Rycote Suspension - Better for recording dialogue<br /><br />Amazon: <a href="https://geni.us/Lp8ZK" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://geni.us/Lp8ZK</a><br /><br />B&H: <a href="https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1152351-REG/rode_videomic_pro_r_videomic_pro_with_lyre.html/BI/19904/KBID/12941/kw/ROVMPR/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xROVMPR" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1152351-REG/rode_videomic_pro_r_videomic_pro_with_lyre.html/BI/19904/KBID/12941/kw/ROVMPR/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xROVMPR</a><br /><br />————————————————————————————— <br /><br />Aurora Aperture Power XND 2000 Variable Neutral Density Filter<br /><br />B&H: <a href="https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1272890-REG/aurora_aperture_pxnd2k_39_39mm_powerxnd_2000_variable.html/BI/19904/KBID/12941/kw/AUPXND200039/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xAUPXND200039" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1272890-REG/aurora_aperture_pxnd2k_39_39mm_powerxnd_2000_variable.html/BI/19904/KBID/12941/kw/AUPXND200039/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xAUPXND200039</a><br /><br />————————————————————————————— <br /><br />Panasonic GH4 m4/3 Camera<br /><br />Amazon: <a href="https://geni.us/yt16" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://geni.us/yt16</a><br /><br />B&H: <a href="https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1028453-REG/panasonic_dmc_gh4kbody_lumix_dmc_gh4_mirrorless_micro.html/BI/19904/KBID/12941/kw/PADMCGH4B/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xPADMCGH4B" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1028453-REG/panasonic_dmc_gh4kbody_lumix_dmc_gh4_mirrorless_micro.html/BI/19904/KBID/12941/kw/PADMCGH4B/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xPADMCGH4B</a><br /><br />————————————————————————————— <br /><br />Panasonic 12-35mm f/2.8 Zoom Lens<br /><br />Amazon: <a href="https://geni.us/BgTR" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://geni.us/BgTR</a><br /><br />B&H: <a href="https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/865111-REG/Panasonic_H_HS12035_Lumix_G_X_Vario.html/BI/19904/KBID/12941/kw/PA123528XB/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xPA123528XB" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/865111-REG/Panasonic_H_HS12035_Lumix_G_X_Vario.html/BI/19904/KBID/12941/kw/PA123528XB/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xPA123528XB</a><br /><br />——————�<br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnH7oR2pYsI" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnH7oR2pYsI</a>
