Compact microphone for smartphones
The VideoMic Me is a lightweight electret condenser microphone built for iOS and Android devices. Its TRRS connector plugs directly into a smartphone headset port for instant use. The cardioid polar pattern focuses on the speaker while reducing surrounding noise. It suits vloggers, journalists and mobile creators who need better audio than built-in mics provide.
Passive operation with headphone monitoring
The microphone draws power from the connected device so no batteries or charging are required. A 3.5 mm headphone jack on the rear allows real-time audio monitoring during recording when the app supports it. Playback is also possible without removing the microphone from the phone. The package includes a deluxe furry windshield to suppress wind noise in outdoor environments.
Adjustable bracket fits many handsets
A durable mounting bracket clamps onto a wide range of smartphone widths and can be rotated for front or rear camera use. The compact form factor keeps the setup portable for on-the-go recording. Buyers whose phones lack a 3.5 mm TRRS socket cannot use this microphone without a separate adapter. It is not suited for cameras, computers or professional XLR workflows.

Questions about this item
How do I install the VideoMic Me on my smartphone, and what step do people often get wrong?
Slide the adjustable mounting bracket onto the phone so the TRRS plug seats fully in the 3.5 mm headset jack; the common mistake is leaving the plug partially inserted, which causes mono or no audio.
What maintenance or replacement will the VideoMic Me need over time?
The deluxe furry windshield should be replaced if the foam core crumbles or the fur mats down, and the TRRS plug contacts benefit from occasional cleaning with contact cleaner.
What limit appears first when I record long sessions with the VideoMic Me?
The smartphone battery drains faster because the microphone draws plug-in power from the 3.5 mm jack during extended recording.
