TheGodox VDS-M3is a shotgun microphone for video, film, interview, and documentary work. The mic provides a smart feature set that allows you to tailor the sound to your needs, offers an XLR output, and includes a built-in rechargeable battery, which can power the mic for up to 220 hours when a 48V phantom-power source is unavailable.

The mic features a supercardioid pickup pattern that focuses audio capture on the subject and reduces unwanted background sound, while engaging the -10 dB pad allows the mic to handle louder sources. Unwanted low-end rumbles can be reduced via the high-pass filter with settings at 75 Hz, while the high-frequency boost switch can be engaged to add presence for more intelligible dialog. The VDS-M3 mounts to a boompole or stand via the included adjustable bracket, which can pivot 270 for optimal positioning. An included foam windscreen helps further reduce noise, and a USB charging cable is also supplied.
