The Saramonic SmartMic+ UC is an ultra-lightweight and compact microphone that plugs directly into the USB-C port on Android smartphones and tablets and vastly improves the sound quality of the videos you shoot and the audio you capture. The cardioid pickup pattern excels at focusing on the sounds in front of it while rejecting sounds to the sides and rear, producing intelligible and clear audio, even in busy environments. Simply plug it into your mobile device and start creating. There are no batteries to install or charge and no levels to set. It’s truly plug-and-play. A gold-plated headphone jack on the back lets you easily listen to your audio. A snug-fitting foam windscreen and a furry windscreen are included that can be pulled over the foam windscreen for ultimate protection from wind noise. SmartMic+ UC can be positioned both facing forward or facing outward. It captures rich and detailed audio, but the unit itself is ultra-compact, small enough to fit in your pocket, and weighs less than a pound. The SmartMic+ UC is also rugged and made with durable metal, so you can rest assured that it’s well-equipped for your adventures.
