Rode have just announced six new products. These are all aimed at the video and broadcast market.

  • VideoMicro -   an entry level VideoMic, only 80mm in length and very inexpensive, yet features a metal body and includes Rycote Lyre shock mount and a furry windshield. Sounds incredible for the money, doesn’t need a battery, switchless operation etc.videomicro_small
  • VideoMic Me - VideoMic Me is a shotgun mic for smartphones. Plug and play via TRRS it’s compatible with iPhone & iPad and a range of Android and Windows mobile phones. Features a play through headphone jack, and includes furry windshield.microboom_small

These are all pretty exciting for folks doing any video work and vlogging using their phones- you'll be able to capture much better quality audio whilst still retaining the portable "fit in your pocket" convenience that your phone gives you.

The, some more stuff that should suit anyone doing any field recording for news etc.

  • RØDELink TX-XLR/Newsshooter Kit –  This is the XLR adaptor for RØDELink wireless system. It will ship by itself (for people that already own the Filmmaker kit) as well as a part of the Newsshooter kit (pairs it with the RX-CAM camera mounted receiver). Runs off of 2 x AA, USB or you can plug in the standard Sony battery (NP series) that everyone uses to power their camera accessories.txlr_small
  • i-XLR – It’s an iOS Lightning to XLR preamp/adapter. 3m lightning cable that terminates in a little XLR box with headphone monitoring and a nice little record button and status LED that will talk to a new RØDE Recording app. No phantom power, but pairs with dynamic microphones (theres a +20dB boost for low output mics) or RØDE’s self-phantom powering NTG2 and NTG4+ perfectly.IXLR - 01 small
