Designed for mobile journalists, YouTubers, and vloggers, the YELANGU MX5 is an ultracompact digital wireless microphone system great for shooting videos with clear audio for Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. It offers a complete, versatile, and simple-to-use solution for recording dialogue, interviews, and speech directly to a mirrorless/DSLR camera or a smartphone with a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The MX5 consists of a single lightweight clip-on transmitter with its own built-in microphone along with a separate lavalier mic that can be used if you prefer a more discreet mic setup. In addition to the 3.5mm external microphone input, the transmitter is also equipped with a 3.5mm line input, allowing you to wirelessly transmit the signal from a recorder or mixer to your camera.
The compact receiver features a belt clip, which also doubles as a shoemount adapter for your camera. In the absence of a smartphone holder, the receiver can also be clamped to your smartphone using the belt clip. Both a 3.5mm TRS cable for camera use and a 3.5mm TRRS cable for smartphone use are included.
The system delivers reliable transmission with clear sound at a line-of-sight distance up to 164'. The built-in rechargeable batteries provide up to 5 hours of operation and recharge in 2 hours via USB.
