Overview

The Rode VideoMic Vlogger Kit for iOS bundles four purpose-built components into a single package designed to elevate iPhone content creation. At its core is the VideoMic Me-L, a compact directional microphone that connects directly to the Lightning port for a pure digital audio signal. Its unidirectional polar pattern focuses on sound from the front while suppressing ambient noise, and the included furry windshield makes outdoor shooting practical. The kit also includes the MicroLED, a rechargeable on-camera light that provides over four hours of runtime per charge to ensure consistent, flattering illumination for face-to-camera work.

Holding it all together are the SmartGrip and Tripod 2. The SmartGrip is an all-metal phone mount with rubberized grips that securely holds devices between 65mm and 85mm wide, while a smooth ball-head joint allows quick adjustment between portrait and landscape orientations. The Tripod 2 features three distinct positions — two tabletop angles for static shots and a folded-leg handheld mode for mobile shooting. With a frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz and a signal-to-noise ratio of 78 dB, the microphone captures full-spectrum voice audio suitable for vlogs, interviews, and on-location reporting. At 14.2 ounces total, the complete kit remains lightweight and portable enough to toss in a bag for on-the-go production.

Key Features

The VideoMic Me-L offers directional sound pickup that focusses on the sounds in front of the microphone, reducing unwanted sounds and making your videos clear, crisp and intelligible. The included furry windshield eliminates annoying wind noise when recording outdoors.
