It appears Rode decided not to go ahead with this mic that also records. B&H just discontinued it and now removed the sales page.
I was looking forward to this. Anyone can conform this?

I got the impression this might never make to market since it was announced a while back.
Ironically with the Pocket Camera it might have finally found a viable niche. Given the dicey situation with the lack of audio meters and questionable preamp, I was looking at this mic as possibly the most discreet way I could have a camera mounted mic with both in camera and second system recording. This would be for "run & gun" or more stealthy situations. With the Pocket Camera maybe Rode should rethink.
