Improving the sound from your camera is a little easier both for the gadget and on your eyes, as Australia\u2019s Rode shrinks microphone tech once again.<\/p>\n

Making content for online can happen in a variety of ways, but if you\u2019re someone planning a video, there\u2019s a very good chance you\u2019re also working on the audio side of things as well.<\/p>\n

Videos almost always need an audio track. We\u2019re typically not making Charlie Chaplin silent films, and even they had a music backing track to go with Chaplin\u2019s antics.<\/p>\n

These days, things are a little bit different, and capturing video and audio happens at the same time on the same device, making life a whole lot easier than the production houses of early filmmakers.<\/p>\n

You can capture on a phone or on a proper camera, and it will come with a half-decent microphone. But if you want better audio, you need an actual microphone, and that\u2019s an area growing, as well.<\/p>\n

One of Australia\u2019s microphone makers (and arguably what it made its name on), Rode is changing the face of microphones again, focusing on the model made to take with you, or more specifically, made for phones and cameras.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Its latest builds on the previous Wireless models with a more compact take, shrinking the previous square clip-on in the Wireless Go<\/a> to a thin rectangle clip-on and including it in a compact kit for cameras and phones, the Wireless Micro Camera Kit.<\/p>\n

The little box includes two microphones and two types of receivers: one for cameras with a 1.1 inch AMOLED screen, and the other as a USB-C receiver intended for recent phones, Android and iPhone.<\/p>\n

Each includes windshields integrated in the mic, and the case holding the microphones charges the system together, something we\u2019re beginning to see from the likes of other microphone makers, such as DJI<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Wireless Micro Camera Kit represents the next evolution of our mission to make premium audio accessible to all creators,\u201d said Damien Wilson, CEO of Rode.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy expanding the Wireless Micro\u2019s capabilities to include universal camera connectivity, we\u2019ve created a consolidated creative solution that\u2019s not only more powerful, but incredibly flexible and simple to use,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Australians will see the Rode Wireless Micro Camera Kit online and in select retailers for $240, or available without the camera receiver for a little less.<\/p>\n
