Rode PG1 Pistol Grip Shock Mount

Handheld Shock Mount for Camera Mounted Shotgun Microphones

The Rode PG1 Pistol Grip Shock Mount is a handheld microphone mount designed to support cold-shoe mounted shotgun and stereo microphones such as the Rode VideoMic and Stereo VideoMic. It allows creators to remove the microphone from the camera and operate it by hand while maintaining stable audio capture. This makes it a practical solution for interviews, field recording, and mobile video production where flexibility and control are important.

Built to Reduce Handling and Shock Noise

The PG1 is engineered to suppress vibrations and mechanical noise caused by hand movement. Its integrated shock mounting system isolates the microphone from handling impacts, helping reduce low-frequency rumble and unwanted noise that can interfere with dialogue and ambient sound. This isolation is especially useful when recording while walking, repositioning, or working in dynamic environments.

Comfortable Pistol Grip Design for Mobile Recording

Designed for handheld use, the PG1 features an ergonomic pistol grip that provides a secure and comfortable hold during extended recording sessions. This grip style offers greater control over microphone placement compared to camera-mounted operation, allowing users to better aim the microphone toward sound sources during interviews or spontaneous recording situations.

Cold Shoe Compatibility with Rode Shotgun and Stereo Microphones

The PG1 includes a cold shoe mount that supports a range of on-camera microphones, including the Rode VideoMic and Stereo VideoMic. This compatibility makes it a versatile accessory for users who already rely on camera-mounted microphones and want the option to switch between on-camera and handheld operation without changing microphones.

Boom Pole Ready with Standard Threaded Base

A 3/8-inch threaded base allows the PG1 to be mounted directly onto a boom pole or stand. This expands its use beyond handheld recording, making it suitable for boom operation in filmmaking, dialogue capture, and location sound applications where precise microphone positioning is required.

Integrated Cable Management for Cleaner Audio

A built-in cable management channel runs along the spine of the grip, helping secure loose microphone cables. This reduces cable movement and minimizes cable-related noise, contributing to cleaner audio recordings and a more organized setup during production.
