From the legacy of the iconic Sony VX1000, the VX Skateboard Camera Microphone emerges as a modern recreation, designed to capture the authentic sounds of skateboarding. This innovative microphone features four capsules, arranged in the same configuration as the original VX1000, and a digital signal processor that emulates its unique frequency filtering and compression. The VX Skateboard Camera Mic comes with a coiled 3.5mm TRS cable, making it compatible with a wide range of devices, from DSLRs and handycams to RED DSMC2 and other cameras with 3.5mm stereo inputs. For cameras with dual XLR inputs, the VX Skateboard Camera Mic XLR Adapter Y Cable is available separately. Equipped with an internal LiPo battery, this microphone offers over 48 hours of continuous operation. It can be conveniently charged using the included USB-C wall adapter, or with external USB power banks for simultaneous charging and operation. The microphone features a shoe mount on its base, designed to attach to standard camera hot shoes. It also includes a center 1/4-20 for connection to articulating arms like our Ultra Arms. For those needing additional accessory mounting space, the VX Skateboard Camera Mic Horseshoe Mounting Bracket is an ideal choice, offering two extra shoe mounts and a 1/4-20 screw on top. The VX Skateboard Camera Mic is more than just a microphone; it's a solution to the inconsistent audio capture in modern skateboarding videos. It's designed to recreate the clear, distinctive skateboard noises that the Sony VX1000 was renowned for, eliminating the hollow grinding and muted landing sounds often found in recent videos. With the VX Mic, you can bring back the authentic sound of 1995 skateboarding, all packed into a sleek, modern design.
