With both analog 3.5mm TRS and digital USB-C outputs, it's versatile for use with cameras, iOS/Android smartphones/tablets, and macOS/Windows computers.

Acoustic Design and Highly Directional Pickup Pattern

• The VideoMic GO II-H features the same annular line tube technology as the popular VideoMic NTG and NTG5 professional shotgun microphones. This innovative acoustic design gives the VideoMic GO II-H a very rich, full-bodied sound that instantly improves the audio of your camera, smartphone, tablet, or computer (additional cables required).
• The mic's supercardioid pickup pattern is highly directional, meaning that it clearly picks up sound from in front of the mic, while sounds to the side and rear are reduced.
