In November of last year, Rode introduced its Wireless Micro microphone system, which featured two compact lavalier microphones paired with a small receiver that connected to a phone’s charging port. Subsequently, Rode enhanced this product with a complimentary upgrade, providing a new receiver that allowed the microphones to interface with digital cameras as well. Now, the company has unveiled an updated version of that receiver, which includes an OLED screen—but this time, it comes with a price tag.

The latest iteration of Rode’s wireless camera receiver is now part of the Wireless Micro Camera Kit. This kit includes two Wireless Micro lavalier microphones and an additional wireless receiver for connecting the mics to mobile devices via USB-C or Lightning ports. Priced at $149, it matches the original launch price of the Wireless Micro system from last November, before a recent price reduction to $99 alongside the introduction of new color options. While Rode’s wireless lavalier mics may not offer the same level of functionality as DJI’s Mic Mini or Mic 3, they are positioned more competitively in terms of pricing.

Similar to the original version, the new receiver is designed to mount on top of cameras using their cold shoe mount, transmitting audio from up to two wireless microphones to the camera through a USB-C or 3.5mm audio cable. The receiver boasts a battery life of up to seven hours, which is optimized by only activating when connected to a camera. Additionally, the Wireless Micro Camera Kit includes a charging case that extends the receiver’s runtime to as much as 21 hours when away from a power source.

The 1.1-inch OLED screen provides valuable information about the battery status and signal strength of the receiver and linked devices. It features three buttons for navigating and tweaking various settings, such as gain assist levels. For user convenience, the receiver can also automatically adjust these settings to prevent volume spikes, ensuring the audio captured by the camera remains well-balanced.
