Record broadcast-quality sound with less background noise straight to your DSLR/mirrorless camera with the Saramonic SmartMic5, a mini shotgun microphone that connects directly to the 3.5mm TRS audio input of your camera without the hassle of cabling. Ideal for vlogging, live streaming, and mobile video production, the SmartMic5 features a lightweight and durable housing, which offers 180° of adjustable positioning for optimal orientation to your sound source. Thanks to its plug-and-play design, this mic requires no batteries or charging; just plug it in, and then go!
The condenser capsule delivers a tailored-for-speech frequency response of 75 Hz to 16 kHz, and utilizes a 2.36" long interference tube in combination with a unidirectional condenser element to provide focused sound pickup with reduced ambience at greater distances than allowed by your device's built-in mic. The integral shockmount isolates the mic from vibration and device handling noise. To attenuate wind noise and protect the mic from dust whether shooting indoors or outside, foam and furry windscreens are included.
Quality Sound for Online Video
The SmartMic5 delivers focused, broadcast-quality sound to DSLR and mirrorless cameras; it's perfect for vlogging, YouTube videos, live streaming, posting updates on Instagram or TikTok, and more.
Versatile Positioning
Thanks to 180° adjustable positioning, it's easy to point the mic at the sound you want to capture. The integrated shockmount helps you avoid recording unwanted vibration and handling noise.
Mini Shotgun Form Factor
By utilizing a 2.36 x 0.43" interference tube and a unidirectional polar pattern, the SmartMic5 is able to focus on the sound in front of the microphone while attenuating sounds from the sides and rear. This lets your video viewers and social media followers focus on your message and not the background noise. The longer interference tube also allows you to move farther away from the microphone and still get a detailed and full-frequency sound.
Plug-and-Play Operation
Not only is the SmartMic5 ultracompact and lightweight, it also never needs batteries or charging because it is powered through the connection to your device. Just plug the mic's 3.5mm TRS connector into your camera and start recording.
Wind Protection
The mic is supplied with two forms of wind protection�a foam windscreen for use indoors or during light-wind outdoor shoots, and a furry windshield for locations with stronger gusts.
