An all-in-one solution designed for smartphone filming in the Universal version
The RODE Universal Vlogger Kit combines, in a single pack, the essentials for mobile capture: a microphone, a light, and a mounting solution. The "Universal" version is designed for smartphones equipped with a 3.5 mm headphone jack, to achieve a cleaner and more consistent result than with the phone's built-in microphone and lighting.
Who is it for and what are the uses in mobile shooting?
This kit is aimed at content creators, musicians, teachers, podcasters, and videographers shooting on the go, at home, or backstage. It suits vlogs, face-to-camera interviews, social media videos, instrument demonstrations, and live streaming, with a clear goal: to immediately improve audio, stabilize framing, and maintain flattering lighting, even indoors.
Audio, lighting, and stability: key features of the RODE Universal Vlogger Kit
A directional microphone for a more present voice
The VideoMicro connects directly to the smartphone and prioritizes what is in front of the camera. Its cardioid directivity and 90deg angle help reduce side sounds and enhance intelligibility, a major asset for speaking, tutorials, and quick captures in noisy environments.
MicroLED: consistent lighting for uniform shots
The MicroLED provides a dedicated light source to avoid dull or grainy images in low light. Its battery life of over 4 hours allows you to chain takes, and the interchangeable color filters make it easy to adapt to ambient lighting and the desired style.
SmartGrip + Tripod 2: controlled framing, comfortable shooting
The SmartGrip firmly holds the phone for stable shots, while the Tripod 2 serves both as a tabletop tripod and a handle. The ball head and 1/4" thread simplify angle adjustments, whether filming face-to-camera or product shots.
DCS-1 and accessories: quick setup, smoother shooting
The DCS-1 dual cold shoe mount allows quick installation of microphone and light on the same setup. The Rycote Lyre shock mount limits vibrations and handling noise, and the WS9 windshield improves outdoor sound capture and in adverse weather.
