The Mobile Videographer’s Essentials Kit is a complete audio for video recording solution. The kit is designed to work with mobile phones by any manufacturer. No more thumbs in your cell phone video – the included bracket provides a grip well out of the way of the phone’s lens. The FR-310 shotgun microphone has a directional pickup to target sound to the front of the mic and reject periphery noises. It can be used to record audio only into the phone or to add audio to video. The impedance-matching cable connects the FR-310 to any mobile device with a 3.5mm jack. Once in place, the cell phone can be pivoted at any angle thanks to the multidirectional ball head mount. The Mobile Videographer’s Essentials Kit can also be used with a DSLR camera. Simply remove the cell phone clamp and ball head. Screw the bracket into place on the tripod mount on the bottom of the camera. You may then mount the FR-310 directly onto the camera or onto one of the cold shoe mounts on the bracket. This setup leaves two available mounts for additional accessories, like a light or camera-top monitor. The MXL MM-VE001 Mobile Videographer’s Essentials Kit takes mobile recording to the next level. It’s perfect for students, bloggers, podcasters, journalists, and mobile video enthusiasts.
