The Saramonic SmartMic+ is a compact, lightweight directional microphone designed for smartphones and tablets. It works with both iOS and Android devices and targets users who need clearer, more focused audio while filming or recording with a mobile device.
The SmartMic+ connects to your device via a 3.5 mm audio input connector. Its flexible mounting bracket fits a wide range of smartphones, so you can position the microphone for use with the primary camera or the front-facing camera for selfies. In practice, this allows the microphone to adapt to different shooting styles and framing needs.
The microphone uses a highly directional audio circuit that reduces off-axis noise. As a result, it emphasizes the sound directly in front of the microphone and helps deflect surrounding noise, so you capture the audio you want to hear rather than ambient distractions.
On the rear of the SmartMic+ you will find a 3.5 mm headphone jack. This jack supports play-through of audio while recording, depending on the app you use. Additionally, it allows easy playback of recorded videos without removing the microphone, making review and quick checks straightforward on set or in the field.
The SmartMic+ includes a deluxe foam windscreen that you can fit over the microphone for outdoor shooting. The windscreen helps filter out wind noise and other background disturbances, improving the clarity of recordings made outside.
