Comprised of everything you need to capture steady video and clear, focused audio on a smartphone for your next vlog, video shoot, or news piece, the Sennheiser MKE 400 Mobile Kit is a comprehensive bundle that features Sennheiser's second-generation MKE 400 camera-mount shotgun microphone, a Manfrotto PIXI mini tripod, a smartphone clamp, two output cables, and outdoor wind protection. It provides content creators with a lightweight and highly portable solution for producing high-quality sound and video anywhere, anytime.
Add the compact and lightweight second-generation Sennheiser MKE 400 directional shotgun microphone to your camera- or smartphone-based shooting rig to make an easy upgrade in sound quality, even in noisy environments, without having to carry around a cumbersome windscreen and suspension system. Plus, it offers a 3-stage gain control and a low-cut filter so you can optimize the sound of your recording right at the mic.
Thanks to its integral wind protection, built-in shock absorption, long battery life, and headphone monitoring port, the MKE 400 is a truly capable solution for capturing clear audio—a perfect companion for vloggers, run-and-gun videographers, and mobile journalists who need a quality camera-mount mic that will never get in the way of the shot.
To ensure that you're prepared for any shoot, the MKE 400 includes two locking 3.5mm audio cables—one features a standard TRS plug for compatibility with cameras and DSLRs, while the other utilizes a TRRS plug to connect with your smartphone or tablet. Plus, the supplied furry windshield can be slipped over the MKE 400 to provide increased protection from wind noise when shooting in outdoor environments.

Perfect for mobile journalists, YouTubers, vloggers, and more, the Sennheiser Mobile Kit is designed to provide stable mounting and easy positioning for your smartphone and existing microphone or wireless receiver. It includes a Manfrotto PIXI mini tabletop tripod and a smartphone clamp, which has a built-in cold shoe mount to support attachment of Sennheiser's MKE 200, MKE 400, XS Lav USB-C, or XSW-D wireless receiver RX 35 (all available separately).
The PIXI features a locking ball head and rubber feet for secure placement, and its legs can be collapsed to allow handheld videography.
