Saramonic Blink 500 RXDI Dual-Channel Lightning iPhone Wireless Microphone Receiver

Introduction

Some wireless microphone receivers are complicated to operate, but the Blink 500 RXDi is so technically advanced that it couldn't be easier to use. There are no controls to adjust, but the device does a lot behind the scenes 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 with transmitters 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.

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 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 when used with Blink 500 TX transmitters (sold separately).

Blink 500: A Diverse Ecosystem

There's a large family of innovative Blink 500 wireless microphone products, and they are all ultra-compact, lightweight, and fully compatible with the Blink 500 RXDi. The Blink 500 TX is a tiny wireless transmitter with a high-quality built-in microphone, an external mic input (it comes with an external lavalier mic), a built-in Lithium battery, a USB-C charging port, gain buttons, and multicolored LEDs. The Blink 500 RX is a dual-receiver that was designed to be mounted to the shoe of a camera and can handle up to two 500 TX transmitters at the same time. The Blink 500 RXUC is very similar to the RXDi except it has a USB-C connector for Android smartphones or tablets and modern Apple Mac and PC computers. It works perfectly with handheld gimbals, too. All of the receivers can handle up to two Blink 500 TX transmitters at the same time.

An Ideal Wireless System

Even if you shoot video with a smartphone 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, the Blink 500 RXDi is the best solution available for perfect sound from up to two wireless transmitters (sold separately). The RXDi is small enough to tuck away in a small pocket, so you can effortlessly bring it 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.
