Amazing! This will def help you organize your thoughts. And get vlogging! Great company with great customer service!

If you ever tried to vlog or do a livestream on YouTube or Instagram - you know that your phone is an awesome all inclusive device to do it. It has a great camera and a very decent microphone, but you have to find a way to hold it real steady, shield from wind (to avoid wind noise) and make sure you are not in the dark or not against the bright light source behind you. RODE Vlogger Kit is a perfect solution for all these problems! It comes as 3 major parts: Tripod - which is adjustable for 2 different height settings (by twisting the plastic ring just above the legs) or can be used as a handle with all 3 legs folded. It comes with a ball mount already attached, however it's easily removable and if you like - you can add an extension rod between the tripod and a ball mount (for example Invisible Selfie Stick works great) to extend the height. Phone mounting bracket is equipped with rubber pads to hold your phone gently but firmly in place, just tighten the screw and your phone is not going nowhere even if you shake or bump ip pretty hard. Ball mount allows for pretty much any angle or even a portrait mode. Top of the phone holder comes equipped with a cold shoe mount for a light and conveniently there is a little light cube in the kit! It's amazingly bright for it's size and light output can be adjusted in 4 steps (however it does not remember previous setting and always starts with the dimmest one) 60/160/230/300 lumens. Not only this light comes with a diffusor, but also with 8 colored gel filters to change the light color (or match ambient light temperature for a correct white balance for example). And of course - microphone. It's a cardioid pattern directional microphone capable of picking up frequencies from 20Hz to 20kHz, powered by the Lightning port from your device and also features 3.5mm jack for headphones. Noise rejection from off-axis makes your recordings sound professional (no "all around noise" as if you would used an internal phone microphone) and almost eliminates wind noise with included wind filter (aka dead cat). The only problem I had with the mic is that my phone's Lightning port is kinda deep when I use phone case, so I had to find a little Lightning port extension. Mic needs to be unplugged and re-plugged if you would like to change it's direction. Overall - it's all you need to start vlogging/streaming with your phone, it's lightweight enough to take it anywhere and makes it so much easier and safer (it's less likely that you drop your phone!).

Heading on a hiking trip and I wanted a tripod, handgrip, and microphone setup that I could take with. The RODE Vlogger kit looks like it fit the bill. First Impressions: WOW! Quality at its finest. The Materials are all solid and made from metal or high grade plastic. I'm already envisioning all the other ways I'll be able to use the mount in my home office. Assembly: Putting the pieces together is very intuitive and the adjustment wheels were very solid. I have no concerns that anything will slip or become misaligned when tightened. Lightning Connector on Mic: I wish there was a way to extend the lightning port at the bottom or that they included an adapter. I'm going hiking...on rocks. Their teaser video shows a dude using this while hiking...on rocks. The iPhone 12 phone cases generally cover the bottom of the phone which means that I'll need to either carve out a notch in a phone case, or use the microphone on a naked phone. If you're like me and prefer a phone case I would recommend going for the universal vlogger kit that puts the mic on the top mount. Certainly not enough for me to deduct a star. This kit is AWESOME!

The Røde iOS Edition Vlogger Kit is a great addition to any iPhone users video arsenal. The kit includes everything you need to create high quality, professional looking videos:: 1x VideoMic Me-L Microphone 1x Rubber Clip (pre installed on the microphone) 1x WS9 Windshield 1x Smartgrip 1x Tripod 2 1x MicroLED On-Camera Light 1x Clip-On Diffuser 8x Colored Filters 1x USB Charging Cable The kit is compatible with iPhone/iPod touch 6th Generation up to the iPhone 12 range, with the lightning port. Set up is incredibly easy, attach the iPhone clip to the tripod, charge and attach the LED light to the top of the iPhone mount, and plug in the microphone to the bottom of your iPhone and you are up and running. The LED light is bright, it has 4 light settings, long press the button on top to turn on and off, short press to switch between the light intensity settings. There is a light diffuser case and 8 different gels that you can use with it, meaning that the light can not only be used on top of the camera to light you/your subject, but you can also place colored gels on the LED light and use it as ambient lighting for a scene you are shooting. The light provides a nice full cast on the face, giving an even light without being to harsh, but I do wish it's angle could be adjustable. The 8 light gels come in their own little carry case so they remain clean and undamaged. The charge of the LED light lasts for approximately 1 hour before needing to be recharged again. The VideoMic Me-L is a nice, compact, direct connect, directional microphone that has a great sound field pick-up, that is only enhanced by adding the WS9 Windshield. This eliminated almost all background noise and interference and provided crisp, clear, intentional sound, helping make videos feel a lot more professionally finished. I did have an issue accessing the on-screen video button with the windshield on, but this can be overcome by using the volume up button on the iPhone (12 Pro in my case) to start and stop your video. You do need to remove your case from your phone in order to use the microphone in the lightning port. The iPhone clip is aluminum, with a spring actuator to keep it open as you place your phone in there, a nice touch, makes it easier to position the iPhone in the cradle. The handle of the tripod is heavy duty plastic/rubber and has a gimble on top to enable you to get the iPhone at just the right angle for your video. The handle has 3 legs on it to provide a stable base for the camera to rest on, and adjust as needed. There are not adjustable legs in themselves, they do not extent, retract or bend into other settings. Overall, very happy with the Røde Vlogger Kit for iPhone, it's elevated my content, giving a much more professional look and feel to it. If I were to change anything about it, I would like for the mount on top of the iPhone holder to have a small gimble on it so that you can rotate the LED up or down, away from the subject slightly, it would be nice if the handle could extend a little to give a little more versatility, and if the windshield was a little more sculpted to allow better access to the on-screen recording button, but again, these are 'nice-to-have's' on an already great product.

Awesome little gadget to have on the go. My only gripe is the mic’s lightning is too small. If you have a case on your phone, you may not be able to fit it in

Bought this to simply try it out and have an easier audio set up than a full boom system for on-the-go. Audio is very crisp, but the tripod is a little finicky. It has to be on a surface that will catch with the rubber edges, otherwise it just slides down… Also- you can only plug in the mic without a phone case on, so that’s a little unfortunate..

This durable and lightweight vlogging is perfect for any creator on the go. Video resolution is superb, and all attached accessories are made of the highest quality. This trusted brand never disappoints

I honestly have no idea how this kit is as cheap as it is. I have used this thing daily sense i bought it and I am continually blown away. First the tripod itself is extremely solid and well built. the legs feel plastic but the rest of the construction is metal and solid. The included light is very heavy duty, of good quality, and again is solidly built. The microphone also is of amazing quality, both in terms of the audio you can record with it but the build quality as well. The only issue that I have with the mic is there is really no way to use it with a case, at least not one that I have tried and I have now bought 4 different ones with no luck. The filters are kinda hard to use at times, especially in low light or if there is even a slight breeze so beware of that, but that has nothing to do with Rode at all. Just a minor inconvenience that I have found. If you do any kind of video work or content creation and you have been entertaining the idea of getting this, stop weighing the pros and cons and just get it. I very seriously doubt that you will be disappointed, especially if you are just starting out.

I like MIST of the dmfeatures, but NOT the way the microphone seats into the I Phone 13… there is a sliding compression feature designed to secure it in place, but does not work well, especially if using a phone case… in fact, the lighting plug actually broke off in my phone, after only a few uses.

Got for my son, he loves it. Very easy to use and awesome value

Works super well! Improved my videos big time !highly recommend

I wanted a complete kit that had the essentials. This vlogger kit not only has the essentials, but it includes a great mic, windscreen, light with filters and a sturdy tripod. The tripod closes up and makes a great portable selphie stick. A Great Purchase!

Works great, gives you everything you need for starting out. Just make sure to get the right kit for your phone or the mic won't be compatible for you.

It is everything you are looking for and more. Good quality and a decent price. It holds my Samsung phone well. It is easy to travel with and stands firm.

Convenient and compact videography kit. Purchased to accommodate iPhone with lightning port.

Everything seemed great, but the iOS Lightning plug would not fit on my phone with my phone case on - Unfortunately, I don't want to take off the case every single time to use this, so I returned it to get the Rode Vlogger Universal kit instead.

This kit makes Blogging and picture taking much easier. The phone can be held much more securely and stable.

Easy to use and perfect for iPhones it’s a must have to make sure you always capture the moments you like to relive

The only thing that sucks is that the mic lightning plug was so short I have to take off the iPhone case just to use it

Very good quality and a great purchase. Surprisingly a great value for the money
