RODE smartLav microphone looks genius

/in , , /by

main_smartlavI’m constantly amazed at the ingenuity that is coming out of the uses of smartphones.

Although as of today it’s not for sale to the public, this looks like a fantastic addition to FRAMES & PIXELS’ audio arsenal. The RODE smartLav plugs to any iOS or Android device, allowing it to record directly to your phone. Audio can then be sent via Dropbox or downloaded through iTunes. Given that on any shoot we probably have a minimum of 2 iPhones, the convenience factor really goes up. RODE makes some great microphones, so I’ve got pretty high hopes for this as a solution.

The iOS app is available here.

More information on the RODE smartLav is available here.

It’s not necessarily a sports celebrity endorsement but my most recent post to Craigslist is something that every Pittsburgh Black & Gold fan (who does chroma key work) should want to own.

Note: I also can’t use the name of the franchise that Ryan plays for, unofficially referred to as the Pittsburgh “Stillers”, because of trademark protection. (See the Samsung “El Plato Supreme” commercial which I find absolutely hilarious.) Lastly, I can’t claim that Ryan officially endorses this product or our work.

But I can use the picture I took.
