For mobile video creators in need of a comprehensive and cost-effective solution for one- or two-handed stabilisation, varied accessory mounting options, and quality audio capture, the Saramonic VGM checks all the boxes. It includes a handheld camera/smartphone stabilisation system, an array of 1/4"-20 and shoe mount points, and the Vmic Mini shotgun microphone; everything needed to achieve stable video and crisp sound, whether shooting with a camera or smartphone.
Plug-and-play operation makes it extremely easy to use right out of the box. 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 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.
Smartphone/Camera Video Kit
Complete Bundle for Vlogging and Video Production
A complete stabilisation, mounting rig, and microphone bundle, the VGM provides users everything they need for great sounding and stable video whether they are filming with smartphones or compact digital, mirrorless, DSLR, and action cameras.
Customisable
This completely customisable rig that offers one- or two-hand stabilisation and multiple configuration options to meet your shooting needs from vlogging to cinematic filmmaking.
Expandable
There are numerous accessory mounting and expandability options for LED lights, HDMI monitors, audio mixers, power banks, wireless microphone receivers, and much more.
Adjustable
Uniquely versatile, the VGM can be configured from a minimum width of 12cm to a maximum width of 31.5cm within seconds and can be easily mounted on a tripod or stand.
Vmic Mini Microphone
Shotgun Mic for Focused Sound
Though most microphones found in cameras and mobile devices capture sound from all directions, the Vmic Mini features a cardioid pickup pattern that focuses the audio capture in front of the camera while rejecting distracting sounds in the background. The mic has been tuned with a slight bump at 8 kHz, which adds presence and clarity to speech.
Ultracompact Size Fits Anywhere
With a light, precision-cut aluminum-alloy body and no bulky battery to worry about, the Vmic Mini fits comfortably on your camera without weighing it down. Unlike larger shotgun mics, its compact size is ideal for use with small-format cameras as well as smaller mobile devices, staying out of the way so you can get right in the middle of the action.
Built-In Shockmount Reduces Vibrations and Rumble
A smart feature of the Vmic Mini's design is the robust, integrated shockmount. It helps to isolate the mic from handling noise and vibrations when you're on the move, greatly reducing muddying low-end rumble.
Bullet-Shaped Windscreen Blocks Wind Noise
The included bullet-shaped windscreen gives the Vmic Mini a slick and functional look, while blocking wind noise and protecting it from the elements.
Versatile Mounting Options
The Vmic Mini's integrated, locking shoe mount features a 1/4"-20 thread at the bottom and is ready to attach to your camera, gimbal, tripod, boompole, or stand. With its miniature size, the mic is extremely well suited for phone mounting using a phone tripod adapter clamp equipped with a cold shoe (available separately).
Runs on Plug-In Power
Since the Vmic Mini operates on plug-in power from your camera, smartphone, or tablet, it requires no batteries. This reduces weight and makes the mic easier to use.
Cables for Cameras and Mobile Devices
The Vmic Mini includes two 3.5mm cables to ensure easy connectivity with your camera or mobile device.
- Short, coiled right-angle 3.5mm TRS to right-angle 3.5mm TRS cable with gold-plated connectors for connection to the mic input of DSLR and mirrorless cameras
- Short, coiled right-angle 3.5mm TRS to straight 3.5mm TRRS cable with gold-plated connectors for connection to the headphone jack of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets
