If you're looking for a compact, easy-to-use lapel mic that plugs right into a phone's TRRS jack or compatible DSLR camera, the JOBY Wavo Lav Mobile will handle the job. This mic offers a broadcast-quality sound in a tiny, lapel-mic form factor. It can record to phones and devices that offer 3.5mm TRRS connectivity, and with an included TRRS to TRS adapter, it can work with cameras as well.
No controls are on hand, which streamlines the process incredibly: simply clamp the mic to your subject (or yourself), plug the mic into the phone, and start recording. The mic is perfect for vlogging, interviews, live streaming, TikTok, and more. It's 5.9' cable ensures you'll always have plenty of room. With three colorful windscreens, you can express your personality while you tamp down extraneous noise.
The mic can be hidden, and it offers an omnidirectional polar pattern that ensures you'll get an even sound at any angle of address. This makes it great for run-and-gun sound pickup. Conversely, append one of the funky colored windscreens to the mic to express your personality on social media.
The included windshield protects against plosives. The fur windscreens do an even better job of this in windy outdoor locations. The clamp makes mounting the mic a cinch. The cable is long enough to suit any purpose. The handy TRRS to TRS adapter means you can use the mic not only with compatible smartphones, but with DSLR and video cameras as well. When you're done, store everything in the included carrying pouch.
The mic offers no controls and operates in the analog domain. This makes operation a breeze: simply plug it in and play. There's no software to install to make it compatible with your phone.
