RØDE PG1 Professional Cold Shoe Pistol Grip Shock Mount with Boom Pole Thread
Brand
RODE
The RØDE PG1 is a professional cold shoe pistol grip shock mount designed for handheld operation of on-camera microphones such as the RØDE VideoMic and Stereo VideoMic. It allows users to detach the microphone from the camera and operate it independently for more flexible field recording, interviews, and run-and-gun production workflows.
RØDE PG1 Cold Shoe Pistol Grip
The RØDE PG1 is a compact pistol grip mount designed to convert cold-shoe mounted microphones into a handheld or boom-compatible recording setup. It is commonly used with on-camera microphones such as the VideoMic and Stereo VideoMic series, allowing greater flexibility in field recording, interviews, and run-and-gun filmmaking.
Built for practical field use, the PG1 improves handling control, reduces grip-related noise, and provides a stable mounting solution for handheld microphone operation outside of a camera setup.
Handheld and Boom Pole Flexibility
The PG1 features a dual-purpose design that allows the microphone to be used either handheld or mounted on a boom pole. Its integrated 3/8-inch threaded base enables direct attachment to boom poles, making it suitable for professional location sound workflows.
This flexibility makes it a useful accessory for filmmakers, videographers, and content creators who need to switch between camera-mounted and boom-mounted audio capture quickly.
Reduced Handling Noise and Cable Management
The pistol grip is designed to minimize handling noise by isolating the microphone from direct hand contact. This helps improve audio clarity during handheld recording situations.
It also includes integrated cable management along the body of the grip, allowing cables to be secured neatly to reduce movement noise and improve overall recording stability.
Compatible with RØDE On-Camera Microphones
The PG1 is designed for use with RØDE’s cold-shoe mounted microphones, including popular VideoMic and Stereo VideoMic models. It allows these microphones to be quickly removed from a camera and used independently for interviews, boom work, or handheld recording.

Constructed from lightweight yet durable materials, the PG1 is built for regular field use. Its ergonomic shape provides comfortable handling during extended recording sessions, while maintaining stability for consistent microphone positioning.
