Black Rode VideoMic Pro+ shotgun mic
Description
I was filming along the Seaside Promenade yesterday around 3pm and must have left my Rode VideoMic Pro+ on my camera rig. It's a black, compact shotgun mic with a matte finish; the windscreen has a small tear and there's a tiny dent on the top edge. A red label with my initials 'PP' is still stuck on the mic's foot mount. I last saw it near a bench by the Turnaround overlooking the Seaside Aquarium, and I realized it was gone after I packed up. I really need it back because the mic is essential for my coastal vlogs and it carries sentimental value; any help finding it would mean a lot.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
