Rode is possibly the most popular on-camera microphone especially when it comes to DSLR Video shooters. Rode makes a number of different types of microphones, but as far as compact shotgun style shoe mounted microphones go, they offered three main types. On the low end, there is the “Rode VideoMic Go“ (requires plug-in power and no Selectable 10 or 20dB Pad). The middle product is the Rode VideoMic“ (can be battery powered with Selectable 10 or 20dB Pad). On the high end there’s the more compact “Rode VideoMic Pro“ (Battery powered with Selectable -10 or 20dB Pad).

Even though the VideoMic GO was a lower end microphone, it had the best suspension system using the Rycote Lyre. The original Rode VideoMic also received a Rycote Lyre suspension upgrade from a previous rubber band style shock mount. Unfortunately over several years, Rode did not get around to upgrading the shock mount of the more professional and compact Rode VideoMic Pro.

Well the good news has finally arrived. Officially today Rode has announced that much needed upgrade and the latest Rode VideoMic Pro now comes with the Rycote Lyre suspension.
