The Samson Concert 88 Camera-Mount Wireless Combo Microphone System is a simple-to-use, cost-effective audio solution designed to provide vloggers, videographers, and mobile journalists with reliable, quality-sounding speech and dialog for applications ranging from wedding and YouTube videos to reportage, event coverage, and interview work.
This versatile combo set comes with an LM10 omnidirectional lavalier microphone and a CB88 bodypack transmitter for hands-free speech and dialog, along with a CH88 handheld transmitter with a Q8 dynamic mic capsule featuring a supercardioid polar pattern, great for limiting unwanted background sound in noisy interview situations. The CR88V camera-mount receiver connects to your DSLR/mirrorless camera or recording device via either the included locking 3.5mm or XLR output cables. An independent headphone output allows you to monitor your mic in real time.
The lightweight components feature simplified operation to save you time in the field. Simply select a clean channel from 16 UHF frequencies available on the receiver and sync the transmitter via the IR interface at the press of a button. The handheld and bodypack transmitters are powered by two AA batteries for up to 8 hours, while the receiver runs on a removable, rechargeable battery for up to 12 hours. A USB external battery charger and two rechargeable batteries are provided so you can keep working without interruption.
