Welcome to the future, everyone! Rode has just unveiled its latest product, the Wireless Micro, which essentially serves as the AirPods of lavalier microphones for your iPhone. This innovative kit includes two wireless lavalier mics, a USB-C receiver compatible with your iPhone or iPad, and a compact charging case that charges through USB-C. Having tested the Rode Wireless Micro for a few weeks, I’m genuinely astounded by the cutting-edge technology packed into it…
The Rode Wireless Micro is the ultimate compact solution for transforming your USB-C smartphone or tablet into a mobile recording studio. You can effortlessly carry the entire setup in your pocket — the charging case is roughly the size of the Powerbeats Pro case — making it excellent for spontaneous video recording with high-quality audio. I’m excited to showcase the Wireless Micro in my content creation over the upcoming year. The most enjoyable experience I had with it occurred recently when I clipped a microphone onto each of my children at the trampoline park and recorded them using my iPhone.
Audio recording is seamless whether you opt for the Rode Capture app or the standard Camera app for video recording. The Rode Capture app offers enhanced creative options, such as the ability to mix tracks or record separate tracks when using both microphones. It also allows video capture from both the front and back cameras, making it an excellent choice for recording video interviews with superb audio quality.

Further information from Rode:
Each transmitter boasts a patent-pending acoustic chamber design that houses the microphone, specifically crafted to reduce wind noise and capture crystal-clear audio while remaining compact. The omnidirectional pickup pattern ensures sound is captured from all angles, making placement a breeze. Coupled with GainAssist, this feature provides perfectly balanced audio, even if the microphone shifts during recording or isn’t ideally placed. […]
The transmitters are ultra-small and lightweight, weighing just 12 grams, making them ideal for discreetly clipping onto talent while being minimally visible on-screen. Their splash-proof construction allows them to withstand adverse weather conditions. The pocket-sized charging case keeps the system secure while on the go, providing an additional two recharges for a total battery life of 21 hours, meaning the Wireless Micro is ready to support creators wherever they may be.
The Rode Wireless Micro comes in USB-C or Lightning options and is available in black or white. Priced at an affordable $149, it’s an essential tool for elevating your video capture, whether for professional or personal use. Purchase it directly from rode.com or authorized Rode retailers.
