For mobile video creators in need of a cost-effective and unobtrusive upgrade from their device's built-in mic, the Saramonic Vmic Mini II shotgun microphone offers a compact solution that keeps your rig light and nimble. This second-generation version has been upgraded with a Rycote Lyre Dual Suspension Shockmount and furry windscreen and mounts directly to DSLR, mirrorless, and video cameras, or to smartphones and tablets with an adapter (available separately).

Plug-and-play operation makes it extremely easy to use right out of the box; the mic operates on plug-in power from your camera or mobile device. With no batteries to install or charge, and no buttons or switches to operate, you can immediately start recording your YouTube videos, Facebook Live streams, and interviews, at home or on the go. The Vmic Mini II includes two 3.5mm cables—a TRS cable for use with cameras and a TRS to TRRS cable to allow proper hookup to a smartphone or tablet equipped with a headphone jack.
