SmallRig Forevala S20 Overview
Add a shotgun mic as well as an additional lav mic to your mobile production with the Forevala S20 On-Camera Shotgun/Lavalier Microphone from SmallRig. This ultracompact camera-mount shotgun microphone offers crisp sound quality and wind noise reduction without adding much weight to your rig. Since it runs on plug-in power, the mic system is a simple and reliable microphone setup for mobile journalists, vloggers, and run-and-gun shooters.
This ultracompact and ultralightweight shotgun microphone features a detachable shockmount that mounts directly to your DSLR, mirrorless, or video camera and reduces noise from vibrations and camera handling. The shotgun also includes a detachable lavalier mic with a 6.6' cable, allowing you to capture an additional channel of audio and output a single stereo signal to your camera or smartphone from two different locations. The supplied furry windshield for the shotgun minimizes wind noise, making it well suited for outdoor shoots, and both the shotgun and lavalier include a foam windscreen. The detachable coiled 3.5mm TRS cable ensures easy hookup to your camera.
