The Saramonic Blink 500 B4 is an incredibly compact, lightweight, and professional sounding two-person wireless microphone system that was made for the Apple iPhone and iPad. The two included transmitters are small enough to clip directly to shirt collars, and the included RXDi MFi Certified Lighting receiver is so lightweight and unobtrusive that it can easily be used in handheld gimbals. The Blink 500 B4 makes using multiple wireless microphones with Apple devices as easy as possible and it provides broadcast-quality sound in a package that’s amazingly compact and lightweight. . . Tiny body, huge sound.. The versatile sub-compact wireless transmitters that come with the Blink 500 B4 have excellent sounding built-in microphones that capture voices perfectly. Small enough to clip to a shirt or slide into a pocket and versatile enough to set on a table or podium, or even used handheld. They also operate as traditional bodypack transmitters with the included SR-M1 omnidirectional clip-on lavalier microphones, providing an even more professional and inconspicuous miking solution. The impossibly compact RXDi dual-receiver plugs directly into the Lightning port of your Apple device and doesn’t require any batteries or charging to operate. It doesn’t have any controls to fuss with, either. You just plug it in, and it works.. . So advanced, it’s effortless.. Some wireless microphone systems are complicated to operate and require detailed knowledge of their menus and settings, but the Blink 500 B4 is so technically advanced that it couldn’t be easier to use. Even though there are very few controls to adjust, behind the scenes the Blink 500 is doing a lot to ensure excellent performance. It operates on the interference-free 2.4GHz spectrum, and automatically hops channels to avoid static noise and audio dropouts. Pairing the transmitters to the receiver is simple, and all of the complicated aspects of using wireless microphones happen seamlessly in the background, letting you concentrate on storytelling and getting a great shot.. . Perfect levels and power.. One of the tricky aspects of capturing sound for video is controlling the audio levels. Some people speak very loudly, while others speak very softly. That’s why Blink 500 transmitters have easy-to-use gain buttons to raise or lower the levels at the touch of a button, and an intelligent LED display shows you where they’re set. The internal Lithium batteries get 5 hours of life from a charge, and the USB-C charging ports can be used to power or recharge the transmitter in the field with portable USB battery packs. The 10-milliwatt power of the transmitter gives you an impressive range of 98 feet (30 meters) with obstacles, and 164 feet (50 meters) in open spaces.. . Handheld gimbal, meet wireless sound.. Handheld gimbals have the amazing ability to deliver cinematically smooth video footage that makes it feel like the camera is floating, but one area where they suffer is audio. It’s simply too difficult to attach external microphones or wireless receivers without throwing off the balance of the device. The RXDi receiver, included in your Blink 500 B4 kit changes this story. It’s small and lightweight enough to remain mounted to your Apple device and won’t interfere with the motors or arm of your gimbal. You can finally capture perfect sound with your mobile gimbal footage with the fantastic ability to put wireless mics on two separate people.. . An ideal wireless system.. Even if you shoot video with a mobile phone or tablet, wireless microphones are still completely essential tools for video production, and the fact that the Blink 500 is one of the smallest and most lightweight systems you can get—yet it still delivers professional quality sound—makes it ideal for filmmakers, journalists, vloggers, YouTube creators, corporate video producers, or any content creator that needs an incredibly easy-to-use wireless system that won’t slow them down. If you shoot video with an iPhone and a handheld gimbal, this is the best solution available for perfect sound from two wireless transmitters. This system is small enough to tuck away in a small pocket, so you can effortlessly bring the Blink 500 with you everywhere you go. Plus, the Blink 500 series is an evolving system of products that will soon be expanding, giving users even more options and versatility.

Q: Saramonic 2.4 GHz 2-Person Wireless Clip-On Mic System w/ Lavs & Lightning Receiver iPhone & iPad (Blink 500 B4) having trouble getting it to work with facebook on Iphone 11, does work with camera app

A: This is a new problem with iOS14 and Facebook. Until they properly apply updates that allow this, it will not work. That can take time and I suggest contacting Facebook support to speed up the process. BUT... I have created a work-around that fixes this. Please contact [email protected] and we will provide an easy how-to. It is too involved for this medium. Speak soon!

Q: Will both mics work at the same time while receiver is in? I am attempting to go live on a app/ website with an additional person

A: Yes, in Mono mode. As long as the application you're using allows external lightning microphones.

Q: Can this work with iPhone's live listen feature where the incoming audio can be monitored with AirPod Pros

A: I am not certain because I do not have an iPhone and AirPods to test, but from my research it does not seem like it's likely. I have done research on forums and no one has tested this yet, or got external mics to work. I would recommend asking Apple support to see if external Lightning microphones work with Live Listen.

Q: I have Saramonic blink500 Di and when plugged into iphoneSE I can record but not hear play back. I cannot get mics to work with Zoom or FaceTime

A: Unfortunately this is a limitation of those applications. Zoom and FaceTime only allow one source for microphone in and speaker out. So when you use a lightning microphone, unfortunately those applications do not give you the option to select the speaker on the phone as an output. This is a limitation of the app, and not this or any microphone. I have been in discussions with Zoom to let them know that expended audio preferences for their mobile applications are a necessity, but unfortunately they have not added that functionality yet. FaceTime is unlikely to add that functionality because they expect users to be using the iPhone's microphone and speaker.

Q: Hello, I am unable to get this to work when trying to live stream via the MindBody app. It is working when I try to use the native camera/vido apps on my Iphone. Do you have any suggestions for how to get this to sync up? Thanks,

A: I am not familiar with the MindBody app and it is a very real possibility that the app does not allow external Lightning microphones. I would contact the MindBody app support and ask them if their app supports external Lightning microphones.

Q: As main source of audio for main speaker, will the receiver (stick) connect directly to Mac Book or is it necessary to use the lightning to headphone jack adapter instead? If adapter is necessary, are there any other parts not included in box?

A: MacBooks don't have a Lightning port. There is no Lightning to USB or USB-C adapter I've seen that works. So, you cannot use the RXDI receiver with any computer, you can only use it with iPads and iPhones with Lightning. You can use the Blink systems (B5 & B6) with the RXUC receiver, or add the RXUC receiver à la carte to the B3 system and have both.

Q: This may be similar to a question posted by Thomas 3 mos ago: I want to film videos on my iPhone 11. Will this microphone be compatible with Apple's native video filming feature (from Photos?)I know it doesn't work with Airpods.

A: Yes it will work with the native video app. Make sure you plug in the receiver before you start the video app. I have use the AirPods with Filmic Pro and was able to monitor in real-time.
