Microphones & Light
A plug-in directional USB-C microphone with a headphone-monitoring jack and included furry windshield. It requires a compatible USB-C phone running iOS 17+ or Android 12+; Lightning iPhones are excluded.
RØDE VideoMic Me-C+
A wired, omnidirectional clip-on lavalier with a 3.5mm TRRS plug and included foam windshield. Choose it as an alternative to the direct USB-C microphone; phones without a headset jack need a microphone-compatible adapter.
RØDE smartLav+
An adapter for connecting a compatible 3.5mm TRS camera microphone you already own to a phone's TRRS headset input. A phone without a 3.5mm jack still needs a microphone-capable USB-C or Lightning adapter.
RØDE SC4 TRS-to-TRRS Adapter
A USB-C adapter that supports 3.5mm TRRS headset-style microphone input on supported USB-C iPhones. Choose it for the analog-microphone route; a camera mic with a TRS plug also needs a TRS-to-TRRS adapter.
Apple USB-C to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter
A compact rechargeable LED panel with adjustable brightness and color temperature, plus an included diffuser and shoe-mount adapter. Mounting it beside a phone requires a clamp or rig with a compatible shoe or ¼-20 attachment.

An optional wide-angle add-on for filming through a compatible phone camera when you want a broader view. It needs the correct separately sold T-Series case-and-mount combination or compatible universal lens mount, so check your exact phone model bef...
Moment 18mm Wide T-Series Mobile Lens, 130-105
A compact USB-C flash drive for moving finished clips or making an extra file copy between supported phones and computers. Check external-storage support and file-system compatibility; this recommendation does not assume the drive can record camera f...
