Each kit includes a directional mobile microphone and accessories such as the Tripod 2, a SmartGrip, and an on‑camera MicroLED light — delivered as an all‑in‑one mobile filmmaking set.

Available connection types across the kits include Lightning (for iOS), USB‑C (for many Android devices), and a 3.5 mm universal option. Some editions also list USB‑A as a connection type.

The kits include microphones with different polar patterns, primarily cardioid and omnidirectional.

No — the product details list the microphones as not using batteries (Battery: No Battery Used).

The microphone connects directly to the mobile device, while the SmartGrip secures the phone and interfaces with the Tripod 2 for stable handheld or tabletop recording.

Kits are offered for iOS devices (Lightning), Android devices (USB‑C), and a universal edition for devices with a 3.5 mm jack. Individual editions reference USB‑C and 3.5 mm phone configurations.

The kit includes a three‑position Tripod 2 that can be used handheld or set up as a tabletop tripod, providing flexible mounting options for recording.
