iOS and Android Mobile Phone Videographer's Essentials Kit

The MM-VE001 Mobile Media Videographer's Essentials Kit from MXL is comprised of the MM-CM001 Mobile Media Camera Bracket (for mounting a microphone and a mobile phone), the MXL FR-310 Shotgun Microphone, and an impedance-matching adapter cable.

The bracket accommodates a variety of mobile devices, including iPhones and Android phones. The two cold shoe mounts are designed for mounting the kit components: the microphone and an additional accessory. The shotgun microphone is used instead of the mobile phone's built in microphone to record the audio, thus providing improved sound quality.

The adapter cable connects to the phone via a 3.5mm male connector, to the microphone via a 3.5mm female connector, and to the headphones via a 3.5mm female audio connector. The MM-VE001 videographer's kit may also be used with a DSLR camera in lieu of the phone clamp.

FR-310 Hot Shoe Shotgun Microphone

The FR-310 Hot Shoe Shotgun Microphone from MXL is a mono video microphone for mounting on a camcorder or DSLR via the hot shoe. As is typical of these types of microphones, sounds from the sides and rear are rejected in favor of sounds that are in front of the camera. The result is a more focused sound.

Three gain settings help adjust the level of sound capture whether from a close-up or long shot, while a bass roll-off switch cuts low-frequency noise. Additionally, the integrated windscreen helps block wind noise. The microphone functions using a single AAA battery
