Welcome to the future! Rode has unveiled its impressive new Wireless Micro system, essentially the AirPods of lavalier microphones for iPhones. The setup includes two wireless lavalier mics, a USB-C receiver for connecting to your iPhone or iPad, and a slim charging case that recharges via USB-C. After trying the Rode Wireless Micro for a few weeks, I’m truly amazed by the innovative technology present in this device…
The Rode Wireless Micro is the ultimate compact solution to transform your USB-C smartphone or tablet into a mobile recording studio. The entire system can fit into your pocket — the charging case is even comparable in size to a Powerbeats Pro case — making it perfect for spontaneous video creation while capturing high-quality audio. I’m sure you’ll see me using the Wireless Micro for my content creation throughout the year. The most enjoyable experience I had with it was when I attached a microphone to each of my kids at the trampoline park and recorded everything with my iPhone.
Recording audio works seamlessly whether you’re using the Rode Capture app or the built-in Camera app for video recordings. While the Rode Capture app allows for greater creative control, including options to record a mixed track or separate tracks with both microphones, it also supports video capture from the front and rear cameras — making it a great choice for video interviews with excellent audio quality.

Each transmitter is designed with a patent-pending acoustic chamber to reduce wind noise and capture incredibly clear audio while keeping a compact form. The omnidirectional pickup pattern ensures sound is captured from all directions, simplifying mic placement. Coupled with GainAssist, this results in perfectly balanced audio, even if the mic shifts position during recording. […]
The transmitters are ultra-compact and lightweight, weighing just 12 grams, making them discreetly clip onto talent without hindrance on camera. They are also splash-proof, allowing them to withstand less favorable weather conditions. The pocket-sized charging case protects the system while on the go and provides two additional recharges, totaling 21 hours of battery life, ensuring the Wireless Micro is always ready for use.
The Rode Wireless Micro is offered in USB-C or Lightning versions and is available in black or white. Priced at an exceptional $149, it’s a valuable addition for enhancing your video recording capabilities, whether for professional or personal use.
