After conquering the audio accessories market with their outstanding audio equipment, Rode has taken their expertise and branched out to the growing vloggers market with their new line of accessories that seem to support the entire smartphone market.
There are three different variations of the kit depending on your mobile device; there’s a Lightning-equipped iPhone kit, a Type-C USB based Android kit, or a universal kit that works with both that requires a phone with the headphone jack and its adapter cable. Included in each kit are a mini tripod, a phone bracket, microphone, windshield, light, lighting gels, and all the extra cables and bits you might need to get up and running quickly.
If you purchase the universal kit, you’ll need your Lightning or Type C USB to TRRS headphone jack cable. And for people who switch devices regularly, the universal kit is the best fit as it allows you to seamlessly switch phones without getting multiple vlogging kits.
Rode also released a video to introduce the new kit. You can watch it below.
All three will cost $149 respectively and are currently available for preorder here with shipping expected to start sometime in December.
