Review on Rode SmartLav+ Black: Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone for iPhones and Smartphones - Premium Sound Capture by Ron Coleman

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Don't waste your money - you need an app to make it work, but it doesn't.

I have never written such negative reviews but this mic is a waste of money. For this to work you need to download the Rode app. Unfortunately, the app freezes all the time and is so difficult to manage when you're juggling a ton of things on camera. It's advertised as free, but there's not much you can do with the free version. You must purchase the app to use it to its full extent. So until they come up with a better app that's quick and easy to use, I wouldn't buy this mic.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Ok overall but...
