RODEVideoMic Me-L Directional Microphone for Smartphones With Lightning Connector - Black
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
VideoMic Me-L is a directional, cardioid microphone for recording video on an iPhone or iPad with a Lightning connector and iOS 11 or later. Its directionality reduces surrounding noise to keep attention on the subject being filmed. Plug headphones into the 3.5 mm TRS jack to monitor audio or play it back. The included clip secures the mic, and the furry windshield is intended for outdoor or adverse-weather filming.
