The Godox IVM-S2 is a compact camera-mount shotgun microphone with a cardioid pickup pattern, selectable low-cut filters, adjustable gain, integrated shock mount, and over 500 hours of battery life.
The Godox IVM-S2 Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone is a compact, lightweight directional microphone designed to deliver clear, focused audio for vloggers, filmmakers, journalists, and content creators. Compatible with DSLR cameras, mirrorless cameras, camcorders, and smartphones with a 3.5mm audio input, the IVM-S2 is an ideal solution for capturing professional-quality sound during interviews, video production, livestreams, and on-location recording.
Featuring a cardioid pickup pattern, the microphone focuses on sound directly in front of the camera while reducing unwanted noise from the sides and rear. This directional design helps isolate voices and minimise background distractions, making it well suited for run-and-gun filmmaking, vlogging, and documentary production.
Adjustable Audio Controls
The IVM-S2 includes intuitive onboard controls that allow you to optimise recordings for different environments.
Selectable features include:
- Three gain levels: -10dB, 0dB, and +10dB
- 75Hz low-cut filter for reducing low-frequency rumble
- 150Hz low-cut filter for minimising stronger background noise from traffic, air conditioners, wind, and vibration
These controls provide greater flexibility when recording in a variety of indoor and outdoor environments.
Integrated Shock Mount
An integrated shock mount helps minimise handling noise and vibrations caused by camera movement, tripod adjustments, or handheld shooting. The mount includes both a cold shoe mount and a ¼"-20 threaded connection, making it compatible with cameras, smartphone cages, gimbals, tripods, and other production accessories.
Broad Device Compatibility
The microphone includes both a 3.5mm TRS cable for DSLR and mirrorless cameras and a 3.5mm TRS to TRRS cable for compatible smartphones and mobile devices equipped with a 3.5mm audio port, allowing seamless switching between camera and mobile recording setups.
Exceptional Battery Life
Powered by a single AA battery, the Godox IVM-S2 provides more than 500 hours of continuous operation, making it an excellent choice for extended productions, travel, and location work without frequent battery changes.
