RODE VideoMic Me-C+ Directional Microphone for USB-C Devices

If you want better audio while shooting mobile video on your USB-C Android or iOS device, the Rode VideoMic Me-C+ is an excellent choice. This shotgun microphone plugs directly into your compatible smartphone or tablet via its USB-C connection and captures sound primarily from what’s in front of the capsule thanks to its directional polar pattern. While designed for USB-C devices, it also includes a 3.5mm TRS jack for monitoring or backup analog recording when the mic is connected via USB-C. The microphone can mount directly on your device’s USB port, but it also comes with a dedicated mic clip and a furry windscreen to improve audio quality in windy conditions.

With its simple plug-and-play design, the mic is ideal for mobile video recording on Android and iOS devices. When connected via USB, it records high-quality 48 kHz/24-bit audio, making it suitable for professional use, while the cardioid polar pattern helps reduce unwanted room noise and ambient sound. The built-in 3.5mm jack provides additional flexibility for headphones or backup recording. The microphone is compatible with RODE Reporter and RODE Capture apps, as well as other recording applications, offering versatility for a variety of field recording scenarios.
