The Rode SmartLav+ is a wearable microphone also known as a Lavalier mic it is a Broadcast Quality Professional Grade Lavalier Mic or at least that’s what it”s called, it comes with a TRRS jack which is compatible with most smartphones and the reason behind that is because the smartlav+ is mainly made for usage which motivated RODE to make an app for all the iOS users out there to benefit the most from its feautures, however if you are planning on pluging it to your DSLR or your camera don’t get your hopes too high since your camera needs a TRS jack while the SmartLav+ offers a TRRS one ! but on the other hand RODE did find a way around it by making the RODE SC3 Adapter a TRRS to TRS adapter so you can plug this directly to your camera that will cost you 15$ ! + Now lets talk about the mic itself ! It comes in a omnidirectional condeser mic capsule and inside of it is the discrete 4.5mm miniature microphone, the cable is a 116cm Kevlar reinforced cable so don’t worry about the microphone stretching or snaping in normal usage but I would recommand the Rode SC1 TRRS Extansion cable for an extra 580cm ! +The package also includes a foam windshield which feels pretty premium and will help you avoid all the t,b and p harsh sounds and will reduce the breathing noise it also comes together with a durable mounting clip so you can attach to your shirt ! Or anything you want and a cool locking letherate bag to take it with you if you are on the GO + Now I'll talk about some problems, first of all and the most annoying thing, is that whenever I plug it to my PC or even DSLR, the Clip keeps tazing me whenever it contacts my skin, which makes it harder on me ta concetrate on the content I am creating, 2nd things, is the cable, I beleive that it is tooo short for a lavalier mic, but what I did, is plug the smartLav+ to my smartphone and then put it back into my pocket ( which doesn't taze me lol) and then recor on both the msartphone and DSLR, and then later on I sync it in Premiere Pro, which makes it a lot easier and efficient to work with but those are not some serioues problems, and most of them can be fixed by using some commen sense So overall the microphone does an amazing job for it’s 79$ pricetag, and if I had to choose between this or even the seneheiser ME-2 which costs 70$ more I would easily pick this all day long so if you are considering buying both the SC3 and the SC1 Adapter then this whole setup will cost you around 120$ which is a nobrainer for the quality you are getting from this kit 😊

This mic is unreal. If you record voice-overs for videos or podcasts or whatever, this allows you to do high-quality work on your cell phone, tablet, notebook, or possibly whatever device you use to record audio. I was a little skeptical because I figured my cell phone audio recording system might have several weak links, not just the microphone. Turns out the rest of the audio recording pipeline on my cellphone is reasonably solid, so using this microphone makes an astounding difference on my cell phone. And it makes outstanding recordings on my PC as well. If you make videos or record podcasts (especially on the go), I can't recommend this mic enough. I should have bought it long ago. Makes a huge difference. You can honestly record using this mic alone on a cell phone using any recording app in a quiet environment and get solid results. If you are comfortable doing some basic sound editing and using very simple VST plug-ins, get the TNT Voice Executor plug-in from Audified and you will get results so good that the vast majority of people (not including audio pros) will be thoroughly impressed with your voiceover/audio. I added the square trade insurance for a few bucks and I will keep the mic stored in the "pleather" bag that was in the package, so I'm hoping to get plenty of use out of these. Will update this review as needed. Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase. The difference this microphone makes is astounding. I haven't tried it for voice dictation yet, but I'm confident it will be overkill for that, since the inferior boom-mics I currently use already give me solid, reliable results. Bottom Line: If you're thinking about getting this, get it. No way you'll regret it.

I have used four other lav mics, wired and wireless, and this Rode is by far the best I've used. I make tutorial videos, and good sound is not just important, it's critical. Sometimes, I need to roam quite a distance from the camera, so I tried a wireless lav mic. Not being ready to shell out $600 for the really good ones, I bought a $45 wireless lav mic, and it works ... okaaaay, but I wasn't happy with the sound. Now my setup is the Zoom H1n digital recorder, which is small enough to carry with me, and this Rode SmartLav lavalier microphone, wired to the recorder. So far, this is by far the best voice recording setup I have found. In testing this unit, I fastened it to the front of my shirt, about 4" below my chin, and spoke a number of test sentences, including rotating my head from the far left to the far right while speaking. If you've ever worked with lav mics before, you know this can produce a very distracting difference in sound and volume. With the Rode, the difference in speaking volume was nearly indistinguishable. Additionally, the sound quality of the voice was spot on. Very little background noise, almost zero distracting mouth noise (such as smacks, clicks, pops). I've only been using this for a few days, so cannot yet attest to its durability, but as of now I'm very happy with this item.

I just purchased these for recording audio for live event video production. I record audio separate from my video and sync in post. Pros: The sound quality of the lav+ is great. The microphone is very responsive to the human voice frequency and overtones. Great dynamic range. This works perfect with the iphone 5s and android tablets and iPod touch. Great for dictation or a cheaper interview type audio recording situation. Seamless upload. After you record your audio you can send it to dropbox or sound cloud easily inside the Rode Rec App. Custom Audio settings. The Rode Rec App offers the user a plethora of settings to record quality audio for any application. You can set sampling rate (from11k up to 96k 24 bit), audio format (Mp3, Wav, WMA, ACC, etc), compression, limiting, gain, etc. The app really lets you dial it in. The App. The Rode Rec App is great. You can start recording on your smart device and turn off the screen so your subject doesn't accidentally hit "stop". Recommendations: For live event videogrpahy, I recommend using the smartlav+ with a iPod touch, or similar device, I do not recommend using a smart phone because if the phone is not switch to "airplane" mode or do not disturb, a incoming call will casue the app to pause the recording. Cons: iPod nano: you can not use the Rode app on a iPod nano. This would have been a great solution for recording multiple subjects at live events, but this is a apple issue that Rode should consider approaching apple about as it would benefit both. No extra windscreens: The smartlav+ only comes with one windscreen and I can't find extras anywhere online. So if you, or the person you place this mic on looses the windscreen, it's gone for good. So, I am disappointment rode doesn't offer windscreens separately. Smart devices only: The trrs connector. Because the connection is trrs as opposed to standard trs, the smartlav+ only works on smart devices. A majority of my business is weddings and I don't want to place my iphone on a groom, officiant, or bride to record audio. If they break it or loose it, its on me and I don't want to hand my clients a expensive device with all my contacts and other private information on it. I also can't trust their device because, they may turn it off, hit stop recording and not start again, or they could not switch to airplane mode and get a text, email, or phone call in the middle of the event and create a dead spot in the audio. Being strictly a smart device mic seems to have more draw backs than positives. Works with "dumb" devices, but you need a adapter. Rode does make a adapter, the rode SC3, but it's $15 per adapter and the plug is a 90 degree elbow which may be "ok" for the zoom h1, but it's not ideal for other digital recorders with top mounted inputs where a elbow plug is more likely snag something and disconnect or cause interference. I like this product, but it's hard to find a field recorder it is compatible with aside from smart devices. I am disappointed it doesn't play well with others. Conclusion: The sound quality is great. Rode constructed a great lavalier microphone. I wish it was easier to use with standard audio recorders. But, it performs exactly as Rode advertises. It is a great product. I wonder why Rode doesn't offer a alternative field recorder that would be a little easier for live event videographers on a budget, because I still worry someone will want to steal my smart device. If Rode did make a feild record strictly for the smartLav+, they would literally have the entire market to themselves. I do recommend this product because honestly there is nothing else out their in this price range and quality to compare it to.But, I also recommend using it with a iPod touch or similar device.

Makes my videos WAY better. Ever notice that you can shoot a great looking video, but with lousy sound it still looks terrible? Or that you can have a not-so-great video, but with great sound, the video somehow looks better? Sound matters! And most people don’t give it much thought. This lav mic, the Rode smartLav+ Lavalier Microphone for iPhone and Smartphones does exactly what I was hoping for: it plugs directly into my smartphone and replaces the built-in microphone when shooting video. Your subject will need to be very close to the camera (the cord is not very long, although you can use an extender), but that has not been an issue for my needs. It’s small and pretty unobtrusive, so it doesn’t tend to be distracting in the picture. It can also be hidden under a shirt, lapel, or tie quite easily. It comes with fairly standard and decent quality clip. I recently shot a few video clips for a client to submit to a local news affiliate. We shot on my iPhone 6S Plus in 4k using this microphone. I then exported the video in 1080p, and sent it off to the TV station. Happily, we heard back from the reporter. He wrote back to my client, "Thank your videographer--her really knows what he's doing." That was great to hear, as I am truly an amateur. This made me sound (and subsequently LOOK) good.

I purchased this to use on an iPhone 8+ (using a 3.5mm lightning adaptor). I tested it as soon as I received it using a mock interview inside my office. Native iPhone video, vs Shure MV-88 and then Rode SmartLav+ with extension cord and without. The Shure MV-88 was a big improvement, but the Rode was a CLEAR winner rendering excellent sound with the video recording. On its next performance, we used the same set up for an event where we were interviewing people in a crowded room. The room noise was louder than the interviewee. We tested the microphone again today, outside and inside. We tested it on the iPhone native video, iPhone Voice Recorder as well as Movie Pro and FilmicPro. Nothing. Tap on the microphone and you can't hear anything. It is like an invisible on/off switch has been set to off. I tried using the Rode extension cord and only the original cord. I switched out three headphone adaptors, nothing No change. No audio pick up whatsoever. Someone else in Feb. bought one and said it stopped working after 4 times. Maybe this was a dud batch, but I am disappointed, particularly after it performed so stellar when we first tried it.UPDATE: The issue with this Rode is the adapter used for iPhone. If you buy a cheap adaptor, expect lousy results. I also now use a recording app (Movie Pro) that shows me if the mic is connected and the sound levels. If you have a cheap lightning adapter and use this on the native video app, you have no idea if you have a connection or not. Now Movie Pro or FilmicPro tells me. When I bought a better adaptor, it worked fine.

It is reviewed everywhere as one of the best mics, but what everyone forgets to mention is that this mic is very limited in terms of application usage: it is very good at close distances, bit it is basically useless if you are trying to record ambient sounds or sound source is at a distance or for lecture recordings in auditorium - main purpose that I bought it for in the first place. Turns out it has to be on a professor in order for me to record good sound lecture - what a joke. A lot of classmates have bought cheaper mics that pick up lecture in auditorium much better and no, they don't ask professor every-time to wear their mics. This is ridiculous. And if that wasn't enough - it is not recognized on my Surface Pro 4 at all! I am trying to work this out somehow, but I've been fiddling with settings half a day, googling to find solution and nothing helps! My previous cheap mic was recognized instantly and was plug and play, I don't know why this mic is not working like that. It is after all targeted for smartphones and tablets - so my Surface Pro 4 is a Windows tablet - so it should work, but it's not working. This is just frustrating and I spent 3 days ordering and waiting for shipment, picking it up and paid close to $100 with taxes and shipment! This is 5 times more than some other Lavalier mics of similar category. So far it's been nothing but negative experience from this mic. Manufacturer and reviewer need to acknowledge first of all with bold caps that this mic may not work on tablets or laptops

I bought this smartLav+ after losing my original smartLav that I purchased about a year prior to the date of this review. This replacement is of a higher quality than the one that I originally had so I am kind of glad I lost my other one :) As a professional speaker I use this mic for two reasons: 1.) To record my speeches (I record every single presentation just in case I want to use it for creating videos or promotional pieces) 2.) To record audio that I use for making videos in small indoor spaces. The quality is great. It adds a professional feel to all of my footage at the fraction of the cost of many other microphones that require wireless set-ups. The one downfall is that when I have attempted to have a second person in a video with me for an interview, this mic also picks of up their voice. However, the other person's voice is at a lower level so it is not possible to utilize the footage without sounding unprofessional. I think that if this were a "UNI-DIRECTIONAL" mic then that problem would be solved. Since it is "OMNI-DIRECTIONAL" it picks up too much ambient noise when more than one person is speaking. So, I'll just have to invest in a boom mic for when I want to do interviews (unless I find 2 uni-directional smartLavs). I'm just not tech savvy enough (and I don't care enough) to figure out how to adjust the settings to make an omni-directional mic work for 1 on 1 interviews.
