Rubber feet prevent slipping and protect delicate surfaces.

Fabricated from stainless steel and black Adapto polymer, the PIXI supports up to 2.2 lb while weighing only 6.7 oz. Its built-in ball head has a 1/4"-20 camera screw and a unique design that allows adjustments and locking with a single push button.

[+35° to -35°] Great microphone. I like it because it integrates seamlessly with all of my hardware and software. It is one of the few items that has been truly plug and play. 5

Sean	21/08/2024
[1x 1/4"-20 Male] I'm using this on a small rig cage for short videos shot on both a DSLR and an iphone. The sound is awesome. The mic holds a charge well and is easy to operate. 5

[1x 1/4"-20 Male] I love it 5

Devon	05/08/2024
[-35° to +35°] Sound quality is excellent. I really can't believe this isn't more expensive. Well built, and easy to use. Rode makes great products and in my experience, has excellent customer support. I've had an NTG for 10+ years, and it's still working great. 5

[Ball Head] Couldn't be happier with this compact microphone. 5

Jim	08/07/2024
[1x 1/4"-20 Male] Rode mics have improved dramatically over the years. Their modern line is now compact and high-performing. The NTG is rich and well-featured, but heavy and expensive. The Videomicro II sounds pretty good, weighs nothing, and packs easy because it's so small. With the new shock mount design, this is the Goldilocks size. It retains USB-C compatibility, and it takes up much less space than the old shock mount design for the GO II. 5

[Ball Head] This is a great microphone for the price. Very sensitive to voices. I have used it both outdoors and in a quiet studio as a microphone for interviews. In a quiet environment it gives very good voice reproduction with no mike noise or hiss. Outdoors it performs well, but does not reject extraneous sound as well as some more expensive microphones. 5

Thomas	07/07/2024
[1x 1/4"-20 Male] This mic has all the features I need to get good audio. solid mic and good sound. 5

Kenneth	29/06/2024
[Ball Head] I've not tried it in many different situations yet, but so far, each application I have tried has worked very well for this relatively small, and affordable device. The isolation shock mount looks strange, but seems to work very well. Currently I've been testing it as a computer mic for Zoom Calls, AnyMeeting, Teams and Discord and it seems to work extremely well with every app I've tried. I clamped it to a GVM light pole... much better than a webcam mic or even my Sony a7 IV's mic. This is replacing a decades old Sony Zoom Shotgun which was much larger and predates USB compatibility. 5

[0.49 lb] A great mic that helps me handle any situation with out a big audio set up. I put it on my camera and boom pole and it performs amazing everytime. 5
