I have been dreaming about a hybrid microphone like this for about a year! Kudos to Rode for making it reality and it looks quite sturdy! Quote from their announcement “RØDE Microphones is extremely proud to announce the VideoMic HD, a high-fidelity, precision RF bias shotgun microphone with integrated digital recording, designed for use with DSLR and large-sensor video cameras.” Head over to their website and register to be notified when it starts shipping!

Chris, what do you mean not a replacement for real sound?
yup, agree
this looks very cool, could be really handy not a replacement for real sound but definitely a replacement for the rode video mic pro.
