Review on SmartMike Lite - Wireless Bluetooth Lavalier Lapel Microphone for iPhone Android Smartphone - Clip-on Recording Mic for Vlogger, YouTube, Interview, Video by Shigg Bigbee

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well only with a proprietary application.

This mic is good, quality is good, easy to set up and works as advertised. However, if you want to use Filmic Pro, it is difficult and Facebook Live or any other video application is not possible. You can only use this microphone with the SmartMike+ app. The app is pretty good but if you want to use other apps, You have to buy another one just to use it as a receiver. and then you would have to connect the receiver directly to the phone, which completely defeats the purpose of this microphone, i.e. Bluetooth capabilities. You might as well buy a wireless lab kit for the same money, which is pretty frustrating. Also, it tends to pick up artifacts here and there, mouth-sync breaks at times, and the video app tends to lag a bit when recording.

Pros
  • Real-time monitoring: The Bluetooth wireless microphone has a built-in real-time monitoring function. By connecting headphones, you can monitor or view the real-time playback during recording and check whether it works normally during recording, and monitor the audio status to complete the recording in one go.
Cons
  • Expensive
