What This Rode VideoMic Pro+ and SC7 Cable Bundle Does for Your Video Productions
This bundle pairs the Rode VideoMic Pro+ Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone with the Rode SC7 Coiled Patch Cable, giving videographers, content creators, journalists, and filmmakers a complete, camera-ready audio capture package. The VideoMic Pro+ is one of the most capable camera-mount shotgun microphones available for DSLR, mirrorless, and camcorder use, and the SC7 extends its compatibility to TRRS devices — including iPhones, iPads, and other smartphones — making this bundle a strong fit for mobile video production, vlogging, interviews, and on-location shooting. The SC7's angled 3.5mm TRRS to 3.5mm TRS design with gold-plated contacts ensures a reliable, signal-preserving connection between the microphone and any compatible device. Whether you're shooting in a controlled studio environment or working on-location in unpredictable conditions, this bundle covers the connectivity and audio performance to capture clean, broadcast-quality audio in any scenario.

Rode VideoMic Pro+ — Broadcast-Quality Shotgun Audio for DSLRs, Mirrorless Cameras, and Camcorders
The VideoMic Pro+ is a supercardioid shotgun condenser microphone built specifically for on-camera audio capture, featuring a 0.55-inch condenser capsule with a self-noise floor of just 14dB — a specification that puts it firmly in broadcast-quality territory for a camera-mount microphone. Its supercardioid polar pattern tightly focuses audio pickup on the subject directly in front of the camera, rejecting off-axis sound sources including ambient room noise, crowd noise, and environmental interference that would otherwise compromise dialogue and narration clarity. The microphone outputs a mono signal simultaneously to both the left and right channels via its 3.5mm TRS connector, ensuring a full stereo-width signal reaches your camera or recorder without additional panning adjustments in post. A built-in preamp adds 20dB of fixed gain, keeping camera input levels consistent without relying on the camera's auto-gain control — a common source of audible noise floor issues in camera-recorded audio.

Rycote Lyre Shockmount, Digital Switching, and Advanced Audio Controls
The VideoMic Pro+ includes an integrated Rycote Lyre shockmount system that physically isolates the microphone capsule and electronics from vibration transmitted through the camera body, hot shoe, or handling. Constructed from a single piece of durable thermoplastic, the Lyre provides more consistent acoustic suspension than traditional elastic shock mounts and won't sag or degrade over time with regular use. Digital switching gives the operator precise, repeatable control over the microphone's signal processing: a two-stage highpass filter removes low-frequency rumble — HVAC noise, traffic, wind — before it reaches the recording; a three-position gain control (-10dB, 0dB, +20dB) sets the right input level for the source; HF Boost adds high-frequency presence and clarity for voice recordings; and the Safety Channel, when engaged, drops the right channel signal by 10dB to preserve usable audio in the event the left channel clips from an unexpected volume spike. These onboard controls reduce the amount of corrective work needed in post-production, which is a meaningful time-saver for fast-turnaround video and content production workflows.

Flexible Power Options and Automatic Power Function for Run-and-Gun Shooting
The VideoMic Pro+ ships with a rechargeable Li-ion battery rated for over 100 hours of continuous operation — significantly more runtime than standard 9V battery designs. When the Li-ion battery runs low in the field, two AA batteries serve as a backup power source, keeping the microphone operational without requiring a specific battery type on hand. For studio and desk-based shoots, continuous power via the included Micro USB cable eliminates battery dependency entirely. The automatic power function is one of the most practical features for run-and-gun videographers: the microphone powers on automatically when the connected camera is switched on and powers down when the camera is turned off or the microphone is disconnected. This prevents accidental battery drain between shots and eliminates the risk of starting a recording with the microphone off — a critical safeguard during event, documentary, and news-style shooting.

Rode SC7 Coiled Patch Cable — TRRS Connectivity for iPhones, iPads, and Mobile Devices
The Rode SC7 is a coiled patch cable with an angled 3.5mm TRRS connector on one end and an angled 3.5mm TRS connector on the other, bridging the VideoMic Pro+ to TRRS-compatible devices including iPhones, iPads, Android smartphones, and laptops with combined headphone/microphone jacks. Gold-plated contacts on both ends ensure a low-resistance, corrosion-resistant connection that maintains signal integrity across the full audio frequency range. The color-coded connectors make correct device identification fast and straightforward, reducing connection errors when working quickly on set or in the field. The coiled design keeps cable slack managed and prevents excess cable from interfering with handheld or gimbal-mounted shooting setups. For content creators using smartphones as primary or secondary cameras, the SC7 is the direct link that makes the VideoMic Pro+ fully compatible with mobile video production workflows.

Who This Rode VideoMic Pro+ Bundle Is Built For
The VideoMic Pro+ and SC7 bundle is a well-matched package for DSLR and mirrorless camera videographers, vloggers, documentary filmmakers, event videographers, journalists, and mobile content creators who need reliable, professional-quality on-camera audio. The VideoMic Pro+'s onboard DSP controls, long battery life, and automatic power function make it practical for daily professional use, while the SC7 extends compatibility to the full range of TRRS mobile devices that are now central to content creation workflows. Together, this bundle removes the gap between professional camera audio and mobile device audio capture, delivering a versatile, broadcast-ready solution for any camera-based production environment.
