Saramonic Blink500 Pro B3 Mini Dual-Channel Stereo Wireless Microphone with Charging Case, OLED Display& 3.5mm Headphone Output with MFi Certified Lightning Connector Receiver for iPhone 13 12 iPad / Blink500-Pro-B3

The Saramonic Blink500 Pro B3 Mini Dual-Channel Stereo Wireless Microphone captures crystal-clear sound while filming, with two channels so a pair of speakers can be recorded at once. It suits interviews, vlogs and any video project where the subject has to move freely rather than stay tied to a boom or a cable. A charging case, an OLED display and a 3.5mm headphone output come as part of the system.

The Blink500 Pro B3 ships with a charging case, so the transmitters and receiver go back to a full charge between shoots instead of hunting for cables on location. A kit that lives in its case is a kit that is charged when you open it, which matters most on the interview that was arranged an hour ago.

A built-in OLED display gives instant access to battery life and audio levels, so the state of the system is readable at a glance rather than guessed at. Checking levels on the unit itself is what stops a take being ruined by a transmitter that ran flat or a signal sitting too hot to use.

A 3.5mm headphone output on the Blink500 Pro B3 lets you listen to the audio as it is being recorded. Monitoring in real time is the only way to catch clothing rustle, a loose lavalier or background noise while the shot is still running, rather than discovering it in the edit afterwards.

The Blink500 Pro B3 uses an MFi certified Lightning connector, making it compatible with devices such as iPhone 13, iPhone 12 and iPad. MFi certification is the detail worth checking on any Lightning accessory, because it is what confirms the connection is sanctioned for those devices rather than a generic plug that may be refused.
