Released 25 Nov 2020
We are extremely excited to announce three new additions to our range of creative solutions for vloggers.
Introducing the RØDE Vlogger Kits. Featuring a high-quality RØDE VideoMic, tripod, phone grip, LED light and accessories, the Vlogger Kits contain everything you need to create incredible video content on a smartphone.
The RØDE Vlogger Kits are the perfect all-in-one solution for anyone looking to take their mobile content creation to the next level.
The range caters to every type of smartphone, with options for iPhone, which includes a RØDE VideoMic Me-L with a Lightning connector, and Android devices, which features the new RØDE VideoMic Me-C with a USB-C connector.
There is also a Universal Edition, which includes a RØDE VideoMicro for use with smartphones that feature a 3.5mm input, such as older iPhones and Android models. This can also be used with Lightning and USB-C equipped smartphones using a certified adaptor. A Vlogger Kit for everyone!
In addition to these compact microphones, each Kit includes the new RØDE Tripod 2, a sturdy three-position tripod with a gimbal head, the new RØDE SmartGrip, a lightweight all-metal mount with rubberised grips for keeping smartphones stable and secure, and the new RØDE MicroLED on-camera light, which slots neatly onto the SmartGrip.
Attention-grabbing vlogs are as much about great sound as they are great video, and the Vlogger Kits will ensure every moment is captured in full definition.
The single most powerful way to improve smartphone audio is to use an external microphone. The high-quality RØDE VideoMic in each Kit will deliver crystal-clear sound in any recording situation. These are directional microphones that reduce background noise while focusing on what they are pointed at, ensuring your audio is clean and intelligible. They are light, compact, and even include a furry windshield for filming outdoors.
In a first for RØDE, the Vlogger Kits have been designed to help vloggers capture incredible video as well as incredible audio. Together, the Tripod 2 and SmartGrip will ensure every shot is stable and perfectly framed, while the MicroLED provides a professional look to any situation. There is also a clip-on diffuser with eight coloured filters for capturing warm skin tones, cool outdoor scenes, and everything in between.
The Vlogger Kits have been specifically designed to vastly improve the look and sound of your smartphone content while being incredibly simple to use. Anyone can be vlogging in seconds.
The VideoMic in each Kit plugs directly into your smartphone and connects seamlessly with any recording app. Just plug it in and go. They can also be configured for main or ‘selfie’ camera use for maximum flexibility, and the accessories are quick and easy to set up, ensuring you never miss a moment.
The included accessories are super-versatile, with the ergonomic Tripod 2 supporting both handheld and tabletop use and its gimbal head allowing for flexible positioning. The MicroLED and its diffuser and eight coloured filters ensure you can adapt to any recording environment, with over four hours of operation available on a single charge – more than enough for even the longest vlogs.
The RØDE Vlogger Kits are the perfect all-in-one mobile filmmaking solution for home moviemakers, mobile content creators, YouTubers, TikTokers and run ‘n’ gun journalists – anyone who wants to capture unforgettable content that looks and sounds incredible.
