COVID-19: SHOWROOM CLOSED / DELIVERY OF ONLINE ORDERS + STORE PICKUP ONLYRead More
Dear Valued Customer,
From 9am Tuesday 7th July 2020, due to the worsening of the Coronavirus situation in Victoria, Videoguys have decided to roll-back the easing of restrictions by closing our retail showroom until further notice.
Our number one priority is to ensure the health and safety of both our staff and customers during this time.
Orders for Delivery
We are currently processing and receiving an extremely high volume of orders. We have recently increased the size of our team and are processing orders as quickly and as safely as possible and appreciate your patience during these times.
StarTrack our courier delivery service partner is experiencing severe service and delivery shortfalls. This has resulted in both extended delays on package deliveries, and inaccurate or delayed tracking information once packages are handed onto the courier service. The StarTrack customer service team may not be aware of this issue and may provide inaccurate information. Unfortunately, these issues are out of our control.
If your order has been marked "DISPATCHED", this means your order has been collected by our StarTrack driver and is on its way to you.
PLEASE NOTE: If you have selected an “Express” delivery option, please be aware that this is a service offered by StarTrack and only applies once your package has been passed onto the courier. This service does not relate to Videoguys Australia's internal order processing. We can not refund the shipping cost if the delays are caused by StarTrack’s service.
Pickup Orders
Videoguys Australia’s Pick-Up room through our Side Warehouse Office is still operating and in use. This is our preferred way for orders to be processed to enforce a contactless Pick-Up. If consultation is required, you will be asked to enter our retail showroom accordingly.
Before visiting our Pick-up room, your order must first be placed online and be confirmed "Ready for Collection". To avoid being turned away, please refrain from heading to our store before you have received this notification. You will receive this via email and/or SMS.
Customer Service Delays
We are currently receiving an extreme volume of inquiries which is resulting in the extended phone and email response delays. We have recently increased the size of our team to aid the increased amount of enquires accordingly. Please be patient as our team is working through all inquiries as quickly as possible.
Behaviour
Videoguys Australia accepts zero tolerance for abusive behaviour in written, verbal, and face to face communication. Any such behaviour will result in the termination of communication and/or removal from our premises.
We understand your frustration and concern and all of our new, existing, and temporary team members are working to their best abilities during this difficult and unsure time. Inflammatory behaviour towards them is unnecessary and unaccepted.
PLEASE NOTE:
Due to high demand, you may see a higher-than-normal number of items labelled “Coming Soon", "More on the Way" or "Out of Stock”. We are re-stocking as fast as we can. If you need assistance finding an alternative from available inventory, our sales and customer service teams are available to answer your questions via phone or via email.
While Videoguys and our shipping partners are doing our best to get your order to you quickly and safely, we appreciate your understanding if we experience any delivery delays. We also appreciate your understanding if it takes a few extra days to process returns.
Thank you for your continued support—stay safe and be well.

Rode WS9 Deluxe Windshield for Rode VideoMicro & VideoMic Me-L
Limited 1-Year Warranty, Extendable to 2 Years upon Registration
Switch from using the built-in mic on your camera or portable recorder to the Rode VideoMicro ultracompact camera-mount shotgun microphone for improved sound quality and wind noise reduction without adding heft to your rig. Since it runs on plug-in power and has no controls or switches, the VideoMicro is a simple and reliable microphone ideal for mobile journalists, vloggers, and run-and-gun shooters.
This ultracompact and ultralightweight shotgun microphone features a detachable shock mount that mounts directly to your DSLR, mirrorless, or video camera and reduces noise from vibrations and camera handling. The supplied furry windshield minimizes wind noise, making it well suited for outdoor shoots. The detachable coiled 3.5mm TRS cable ensures easy hookup to your camera, and the dual-mono output means that no channel selection is necessary on your recording device.
Durable and Small
At just 80mm long and 42 grams light, the VideoMicro is an unobtrusive companion for your camera. Its ceramic coating mitigates glare and its durable aluminium body aids in RF rejection.
Shotgun Mic with Directional Sound Pickup
Whereas most built-in camera microphones pick up sound from all directions, this microphone utilizes a cardioid polar pattern to focus on sound in front of it while attenuating sound entering from the rear. Its active electronics and directional condenser element deliver more detailed audio than the mics typically found in cameras and portable recorders.
Easy Hookup to Camera
A detachable coiled 3.5mm cable is supplied for fast hookup to your camera. The cable is wired in a dual-mono configuration, ensuring that the mic signal is sent identically to both input channels of your camera or portable recorder.
Runs on Plug-In Power
No batteries are required to operate the VideoMicro. Just connect the microphone to your camera or recorder, enable plug-in power on the device, and forget about swapping or charging batteries.
Detachable Shockmount Inhibits Vibrations
Understanding that the rubber bands used in many shock mounts can snap and stretch, Rode chose to utilize a rugged Rycote Lyre suspension-style shock mount. This simplifies the setup of the mic and inhibits the transfer of vibrations from the camera. Plus, the bottom of the shock mount features a camera shoe mount with a 3/8" thread, ensuring easy attachment to your camera or a boompole such as Rode's Micro Boompole (available separately).
Furry Windshield Minimises Wind Noise
The VideoMicro includes a furry windshield to minimize unwanted wind noise from breezes, fans, heaters, and air conditioners.
Connectivity Options
Expand the microphone's device compatibility with Rode accessories such as the SC4, SC7, and VXLR+ (all available separately). With either the SC4 or SC7, you can connect the VideoMicro directly to a smartphone or tablet equipped with a 3.5mm TRRS jack. The VXLR+ adapter is the ideal solution when you want to record the VideoMicro to a camcorder or mixer that has XLR inputs.
Acoustic Principle: Pressure Gradient Polar Pattern: Cardioid Frequency Range: 100Hz - 20kHz Signal to Noise Ratio: 75dB SPL Equivalent Noise: 20 dB SPL Maximum SPL: 140dB SPL Sensitivity: -33dB re 1V/Pa(22mV @ 94dB SPL) ± 2dB @ 1kHz Dynamic Range: 120dB SPL Power Requirement: Plug-in power required (3V-12V DC) Output connection: 3.5mm TRS mini-jack (dual mono) Microphone Dimensions: 80mm x 21mm Weight: 42gm (1.5oz)
Great entry product for a quick vlog or corporate video.

Love the little mike, so clear even in the wind.
I purchased this from the VideoGuys to use on my Sony A7r-II and was not sure if it would work properly. It does ! It gives excellent quality sound, even in the wind, and great volume, controlled within the camera.
It is a great addition if you are doing video work on the camera and not too intrusive on the camera. Thanks guys.

Good Mono Sound In A Small Package
I needed a small mono external mic for a gig on an Sony ARII to grab basic sound, needed to be better than internal mic. Did the job perfectly as camera was able to power the mic fine. Then tried it on other setups - many cameras refused to power the mic - they would need a mic with an internal battery. Also tried with the OSMO hand held, and here, it worked half the time. Sometimes it would record fine, but other times got massive amounts of system noise - which other external mics did not create - so the VideoMicro and OSMO combination is not reliable. Note also the windshield is pretty basic and wont stop wind noise as well as some other more expensive Rode systems.
Hello is this compatBle with a google pixel XL phone?~i need something for you tubing/blogging?....thankyou

Hi Stephanie,
This microphone won't work with any smartphone. Please look at the Rode VideoMic ME model. As this is designed for smartphones.
