Saramonic SmartMic+ Overview

Record broadcast-quality sound straight to your smartphone or tablet with the Saramonic SmartMic+; a compact directional microphone that connects directly to your mobile device's 3.5mm TRRS jack without the hassle of cabling.

The condenser capsule delivers a tailored-for-speech frequency response of 75 Hz to 20 kHz, and utilizes a cardioid polar pattern to provide focused sound pickup with reduced ambience. Affix the included windscreen to attenuate wind noise and vocal plosives while protecting the mic from dust and dirt. In addition to the 3.5mm TRRS male plug for connecting to your recording device, the SmartMic+ has a 3.5mm TRS headphone port, allowing you to monitor audio without having to disconnect the mic.

Is there a compatible 'dead cat' windscreen for this mic to replace the foam windscreen?
Asked by: Pat
Mine came with the wind screen. If you need a new one, most likely BH staff can suggest one. But my guess is whatever works for the Rode videomicro, will work for this since the size is similar. If you're buying a new mic, I would skip this one and go for the Rode videomic GO ii.

Will this work with a Go Pro Hero 8 Black ?
Asked by: Bradley
No, the USB-C input on those GoPros is proprietary. The only way to get a microphone into those cams is to buy the GoPro 3.5mm microphone input adapter. Sorry.

Would this work on iPad Air as an external microphone for FaceTime calls?
Asked by: Donald
YES!. I just tested it with my iPad Pro which also has USB-C and it worked great. Keep in mind to hear the other caller you will need to plug-in a pair of 3.5mm headphones into the SmartMic+UC. The speakers on the iPad will not be in use when you use the SmartMic+UC. Also make sure that you plug in the microphone before you start FaceTime.

I have an iPhone 11 Pro and an osmo mobile 3. I’m expanding my real estate photography into video. I need an easy light portable microphone to use that works with gimbal. Suggestions?
Asked by: Donald
It is well made, but for my purposes I ended up purchasing a Shure MV88 Microphone to replace this microphone. The Shure comes in two different varieties (MV88 & MV88+), both are more expensive than the Saramonic Microphone.
