Rode Unveils Wireless Micro Camera Kit, Bridging Gap with DJI's Mic Mini
Rode has responded to user criticism by launching a new kit that addresses the limitations of its predecessor. The Wireless Micro Camera Kit is designed for creators who want high-quality audio on their digital camera footage. The package includes two microphones and a transmitter, all contained within a portable charging case.
One notable feature of this kit is its compatibility with digital cameras via USB-C or 3.5mm line-in connections. This allows users to capture crisp audio without the need for an external adapter. Another significant update is the inclusion of Bluetooth Direct Connect technology, enabling seamless connectivity between the microphones and iOS devices using Rode's Capture App.
Compared to its predecessor, this new kit boasts improved features such as a receiver with a cold shoe mount and 1.1-inch AMOLED screen for on-the-fly audio setup adjustments. The charging case is also said to provide up to 21 hours of battery life before requiring a recharge.
Rode has also included one of its first-generation USB-C smartphone receivers in the package, valued at $50. This complimentary addition aims to sweeten the deal for customers looking to expand their wireless audio capabilities.
The Wireless Micro Camera Kit is now available for purchase online and costs $149, marking a significant price point improvement compared to some competing products on the market.

! I mean, who doesn't want high-quality audio when editing videos? The fact that it's compatible with both USB-C and 3.5mm line-in connections is a total game-changer for creators. And that Bluetooth Direct Connect tech is super convenient - no more fiddling with cables or adapters 
. Plus, the charging case looks so sleek! I'm stoked they included that free USB-C smartphone receiver too, it's a great value for the price. $149 might still be a bit steep for some, but considering what you get, I think it's worth it 
. Overall, Rode's really bridged the gap with DJI's Mic Mini and now we've got some amazing options for wireless micro cameras 
it's so cool that it comes with two mics and a transmitter in a portable charging case - talk about convenience! 
i mean, who doesn't want to capture crisp audio without any hassle? 
... they're just trying to improve it 
it's all about the quality of the camera and not the audio 
. plus, this new kit is a total game changer with that bluetooth connect tech 
. i'm loving how they included the USB-C receiver too, 50 bucks for that thing is a steal 
. I think Rode's finally getting it right 
. Seriously though, 21 hours of battery life in a charging case is pretty impressive. But why do they need to include that first-gen USB-C receiver worth $50 just because? It's like, come on Rode, think about the cost difference 
. And what's with the Capture App, is it really necessary for Bluetooth Direct Connect to work? Need some more info on that before I start shelling out my hard-earned cash 
like who needs that when you're already shelling out 150 bucks for the whole kit? but hey at least it's a nice touch, i guess. and yeah, wireless mic kits are always going to be a thing, so kudos to Rode for finally catching up with DJI's Mic Mini 
, still a bit pricey at $149 tho... but hey, you get what you pay for, right? 
. Upgraded features & portable case = yes please! 
. Still, it's always nice to have more options, so props to Rode for that at least.
just heard about Rode's new kit and I'm super hyped! 
one thing I'm curious about is how this kit will help indie creators capture better audio on the go? 
, Rode just stepped up its game! Back in my day we had to deal with all this hassle of external adapters and whatnot. This new kit is like, totally game-changer! I mean, having Bluetooth Direct Connect tech is a total winner, makes it so much easier to connect my camera to my phone 
. I'm loving this, can't wait to give it a try!
