Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Designed for discreet recording with a phone or tablet, the smartLav+ clips onto the person being recorded and connects through the device’s headset jack. Its omnidirectional condenser capsule captures sound from every side, giving you flexibility in microphone placement. A foam pop shield helps reduce wind and hard vocal plosives, while the supplied clip manages the cable. Record through RODE Rec on iOS or another app that accepts headset input.
