What is the Wireless Micro Camera Kit?
The Wireless Micro Camera Kit is a ready-to-use wireless audio system that includes two ultra-compact transmitters with built-in microphones, a USB-C smartphone receiver, and a refined on-camera receiver with a 1.1-inch AMOLED screen. It evolves RØDE’s original Wireless Micro by adding second-generation universal camera connectivity so creators can use a single system across DSLRs, mirrorless cameras and smartphones.
How does it connect to cameras and phones?
The on-camera receiver provides both 3.5mm TRS and USB-C outputs for broad compatibility with modern cameras and audio inputs. The kit also includes a dedicated USB-C smartphone receiver for direct phone workflows. iOS users can use Direct Connect to pair the camera receiver to the RØDE Capture app via Bluetooth for low-latency routing and simplified recording to an iPhone.
What features make it easy to use?
Transmitters pair automatically with receivers, reducing setup time. The camera receiver’s 1.1-inch AMOLED screen shows levels and status so you can check recordings at a glance. Integrated clips, magnetic mounts and a cold‑shoe attachment make placement quick and keep the rig tidy on a camera or stand. Plug-in power detection turns the receiver on when it’s connected and off when it’s removed, saving battery and preventing accidental recordings.
How does it handle audio quality and levels?
Each transmitter features a high-quality built-in microphone with an omnidirectional pickup pattern, simplifying placement and capturing natural sound from multiple angles. RØDE’s GainAssist technology actively monitors and adjusts levels to prevent clipping and maintain balanced audio without constant manual intervention. Included internal windshields and additional furry windshields minimise wind noise for cleaner outdoor audio.
What about battery life and portability?
The compact charging case holds and charges the transmitters, providing two full recharges and up to 21 hours of total runtime, supporting extended shoots without frequent charging. The transmitters are exceptionally light and designed to be discreet when clipped to clothing or placed on a subject, making the kit suitable for run‑and‑gun shoots, interviews and mobile content creation.
Who should consider this kit?
The Wireless Micro Camera Kit is aimed at creators who switch between phones and cameras, including vloggers, interviewers, podcasters, independent filmmakers, and social media producers. It’s appropriate for anyone who wants professional-grade audio while keeping setups portable and straightforward.
How is it priced, and where is it available?
The kit ships worldwide and costs USD 149. It represents a consolidated, flexible option for creators who need reliable audio across devices and environments. For full specs and purchasing, check RØDE’s product page.
