RØDE Launches Wireless Micro Camera Kit for Phones and Cameras at $149

The bundle unifies smartphone plus on‑camera recording in a compact system that prioritizes simplicity over pricier rivals.

Overview

  • Now shipping globally, the kit includes two transmitters, a USB‑C smartphone receiver, and a dedicated on‑camera receiver with a 1.1‑inch OLED display and cold shoe mount.
  • The camera receiver delivers audio via USB‑C or 3.5mm TRS and uses plug‑in power detection to switch on with a connected camera.
  • Battery life is rated at up to seven hours per unit, with the charging case extending total use to as much as 21 hours.
  • Bluetooth Direct Connect enables pairing to iOS through the RØDE Capture app, while integrated pop filters and optional furry windshields help manage plosives and wind noise.
  • RØDE claims a 100‑meter transmission range, offers a free camera receiver to eligible buyers who purchased the earlier Wireless Micro before October 30, 2025, and reviewers say the kit undercuts DJI’s feature‑richer alternatives on price.
