The Saramonic LavMicro-S is a compact stereo lavalier microphone engineered for mobile journalists, vloggers, and live streamers who demand clear, natural-sounding audio. Featuring dual omnidirectional capsules in a stereo configuration, it captures both your voice and the ambient character of your environment, giving recordings a vivid sense of place.
Versatility is at the heart of the LavMicro-S: its 3.5mm TRS/TRRS combo connector works seamlessly with DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, iPhones, Android smartphones, tablets, and audio recorders. The included power module with battery ensures compatibility even with devices that do not supply microphone power, while a 3.5mm to 1/4-inch adapter extends support to cameras like the Blackmagic Design Cinema Camera.
