An ideal wireless system
The Saramonic Blink 500 B4 is a two-person wireless microphone system for the Apple iPhone and iPad that is exceptionally small, lightweight, and professional sounding. The two supplied transmitters are small enough to attach straight to shirt collars, and the RXDi MFi Certified Lighting receiver is lightweight and unobtrusive enough to be utilised with handheld gimbals. The Blink 500 B4 microphone makes using numerous wireless mics with Apple devices as simple as possible, and it delivers broadcast-quality sound in an incredibly compact and lightweight package.
Tiny body, huge sound
The adaptable sub-compact wireless transmitters that come with the Blink 500 B4 wireless microphone system have fantastic sounding built-in microphones that catch voices precisely. Small enough to clip to a shirt or slip into a pocket, and adaptable enough to position on a table or podium, or even used handed. They can also be used as classic bodypack transmitters with the supplied SR-M1 omnidirectional clip-on lavaliere microphones, giving an even more professional and inconspicuous miking solution. The incredibly small RXDi dual receiver plugs right into the Lightning connection of your Apple smartphone and operates without batteries.
So advanced, it's effortless
The Blink 500 B4 wireless microphone system is so technologically advanced and doing a lot behind the scenes to assure peak performance. It runs on the interference-free 2.4GHz frequency and automatically hops channels to avoid static noise and audio dropouts. Pairing the transmitters to the receiver is straightforward, and all of the complicated components of using wireless mics happen in the background, allowing you to focus on narrative and capturing a fantastic shot.
Perfect levels and power
Controlling the audio levels is one of the most difficult components of capturing sound for video. Some people speak loudly, while others speak gently. That's why Blink 500 transmitters include simple gain buttons that allow you to raise or drop the levels with the push of a button, and an intelligent LED display displays you where they're set. The internal Lithium batteries have a 5-hour charge life, and the USB-C charging connectors can be used to power or recharge the transmitter in the field using portable USB battery packs. The transmitter's 10-milliwatt output provides an outstanding range of 30 metres with obstructions and 50 metres in free space.
Handheld gimbal, meet wireless sound
The Blink 500 wireless microphone is one of the smallest and lightest systems available while still delivering professional quality sound makes it ideal for filmmakers, journalists, vloggers, YouTube creators, corporate video producers, or any other content creator. If you capture video with an iPhone and a handheld gimbal, this is the perfect solution for great sound from two wireless transmitters. This system is compact enough to remain mounted to your Apple device and won't interfere with the motors or arm of your gimbal.
