Record broadcast-quality sound with less background noise straight to your smartphone, tablet, or computer via USB Type-C with the Saramonic SmartMic5 UC, a mini shotgun microphone that connects directly to the USB Type-C port of your mobile device or computer without the hassle of cabling. Ideal for vlogging, live streaming, and mobile video production, the SmartMic5 UC 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, open your favorite app, 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.
