Yes, in vertical mode it should, but in horizontal mode it doesn’t look like there is enough clearance unless the arm extends. When mounted on an iPhone it will extend about 2.5cm below the bottom of the phone. There may be a way to accommodate that, but you’d have to check with Zhiyun tech support.

It's available now!

You can purchase directly or find a Saramonic dealer at bit.ly/SaramonicBlink500T4

Is it compatible with Samsung or Pixel devices?

Absolutely. Any mobile device with Lightning and USB-C.

If you use an App that has a microphone input control, like Filmic Pro or ProMovie, it will allow you to reduce the input gain and alleviate the issue. Although, if the venue has a really loud PA, it can distort the mic's diaphram, and that is not fixable aside from moving further from the speakers. The Signal-to-Noise Ratio is 60dB, and some concerts can get up to 120dB which will distort most mics, so if it is too loud it will distort. For your recording, you should put the video into a video editing software that has decent audio tools (most do) and put a Low-Cut filter on the audio at about 100 to 80Hz, this will make your video sound much better, and might fix your issue.

@@SaramonicUSA Thank you so much. Will try this. Great channel!!!

Absolutely it will work for Zoom, as well as Teams, Skype, and more. On computers, as well as mobile devices, because of its Device Speaker Enable function. You can connect the reciever to you Mac laptop via USB-C, and in Zoom's audio settings choose the Blink 500 B2+ as you microphone source, while keeping the Mac's speakers as the speaker output. Please make sure you have the reciever in Mono mode for best results, and if you have a noisey HVAC system you can use Zoom's noise suppression or the B2+'s noise cancelling. Let me knw know if you have any other questions.

@@SaramonicUSA Thank you very much for the quick reply. I ended up buying your product and am excited to play with it. If I encounter any issues I will reach out. Thank you for your tips and again your quick reply. Cheers.

When using the Saramonic app for recording, I tend to not use a low-cut filter unless the background noise is significant. I can always apply a low-cut in my editing software if needed. 24-bit / 48kHz is the standard I also use for recording (with any app) this will give you a high-quality hi-res recording, without taking up too much memory. You might be using another app, like the camera app or a voice recorder app. The system will put out a 24-bit / 48kHz recording to those apps automatically, so you can be sure to get a good recording without having to worry about the settings. For me, I just plugged the system in launch my camera app and start recording. I will use the noise canceling feature if it's a very noisy environment and I will rarely use the low-cut filter on the receiver only if it is extremely noisy where I'm recording. I hope that helps.

This is the sound just from the mic into an iPhone. It would be similar when recording into a camera or Android device. You hear the sound before noise canceling is engaged and then after. You'll get a similar result in your device, just with the system. You can always apply post production processing after the fact to even make it better.

Yes, You will need a Samsung compatible USB-C Headphone Adapter, and you can use the included TRS to TRRS output cable from the receiver into the USB-C adapter.

@@alantuttphotography Thank you for the feedback Alan.

Glad you enjoyed them.

Hello, what likely happening is you do not have the receiver, plugged in with the mics on BEFORE you start the camera app. Most camera apps, including the ones that are bundled with the iPhone or Android phones do not have audio settings. So, what you need to do is plug in the receiver with the microphones on and then launch the camera or recording app, this way the camera app knows you're using an external microphone. If you have the camera app on before you plug in the microphone, it does not automatically change to external microphone when you plug that in. Please give that a try and let us know if you have any other problems. I would bet this is your issue and that would fix your problem.

@@SaramonicUSA Still not working, voice recording is working. but only video voice is not working on my two smart phones. It may be a Camera Setting? I tried all of them, but not working. What else can I try?

Please contact our support team via email and we will help you fast. [email protected]

@@SaramonicUSA I figured out. I should have used Saramonic APP. I thought I could use a phone camera. No issue.

No, they are not. I don't know of a 2.4GHz system that is. There are a few UHF systems that are waterproof, but they are $2000 just for the transmitter. We do have a waterproof lavalier that would work with this system, the Saramonic DK5A.

@SaramonicUSA thank you for the reply.

Make sure that you have speaker enable on the receiver set up in order to hear playback when the receiver is connected to your phone. See this to show you how: pulse.ly/3u0gemlpop Also, you want to connnect the receiver to your mobile device BEFORE you launch the video or audio recording app. This way your app knows you are using an external mic.

Me too 😢

Almost same issue but my situation different, when I go live .only use phone microphone .not the mic itself ? ​@@SaramonicUSA

Disconnect the mic when you play back the video so that you will hear

​@@AmeNaharmake sure that the adapter is well placed and push it to the last end

It does not have a mute switch, but you can use the device switch as a mute.

The blue light on the receiver will blink if the transmitter is not on or not paired. So if you are only using one transmitter and have the other off or in the case, this is normal. You can turn on, or remove the transmitter from the case and the light will go solid. If you have both transmitters out of the case and on and the left side is still blinking, you need to re-pair the system. If you need to re-pair, watch the video linked here, it is cued up for you: pulse.ly/et8cxhumkx

Real-time monitoring is app dependant. Android and iOS bundled video apps do not have that feature, but it is available on a lot of 3rd party apps. FilmicPro for Android and iOS, or CameraMX for Android, and ProMovie for iOS allow real-time monitoring. I wish that Apple and Android would get with the program and integrate real-time monitoring in to their video apps, but they still don't offer it. For just playback, all apps will allow playback thru the headphone out.

@@SaramonicUSAI actually figured out an easy work around using the output port on my ssd hub as an aggregate device with my studio interface

Please watch the video here: pulse.ly/zlqm86vwrv It will show you how to adjust the levels.

You go to the setting in the receiver, select Mono in Output mode and it works.

You are in stereo mode, that puts 1 mic to left and 1 mic to the right. Which is ideal for mixing later in post-production. If you are recording 1 person, or just want 2 people mixed to both left and right you want mono mode. It is easy to change, please see this part of the video to show you how: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bn-Yepl7g5WNbZosi=8BaI-ccAH9bt4ki8&t=212

@@SaramonicUSA I ended up figuring that out but I really appreciate the quick response. If I have any other questions I’ll let you know. Thank you again.

Bu doğru. Adaptör kablosunu kullanarak iPhone'a harici bir mikrofon bağladığınızda, harici mikrofon özelliklerini kullanmak için onu bir kulaklık olarak görecektir. Alıcının mono modda olduğundan emin olun ve iPhone'da kulaklığı seçerek kayıt yapabilirsiniz.

Yes, but you wll need either the GoPro Mic Adapter or the MediaMod. No 3rd party mic can be used with a GoPro without either of these adapters.

Yes. You can plug wired headphones into the receiver and monitor in real-time.

YES! Just use the USB-C adapter of the system.

Absolutely. That is one great feature that allows you to film for hours.

to clarify, my iphone isn't working, and my transmitter which was working with iphone isn't connecting to my camera

@@SaramonicUSA Sounds good. Will do now. Thanks guys

I am having the same issue, how did you fix it

16-Bit / 48kHz

Yes. Just use the USB-C adapter from the Blink 500 B2+ and that will connect with the DJI Osmo Pocket 3's USB-C input.

Si el receptor está congelado, intente conectarlo a una alimentación USB-C y apagarlo. Luego, vuelva a encenderlo y vea si el receptor todavía está atascado. De lo contrario, realice una restauración a los valores predeterminados. Si esto no funciona, contáctenos y le conseguiremos un sistema de reemplazo rápidamente. [email protected] si está en los EE. UU., o [email protected] si está fuera de los EE. UU.

There is no perfect setting for everyone because it will vary by recording device. I like to start with +4 for the microphones, and level 5 for the receiver output. This works great for my iPhone 14 in a quite room, and on the street. It will work similarly on an Android phone with USB-C. When connecting to camera I would use the same settings and adjust the camera's gain so I am averaging about -12dB on the camera's meter. If you have a particularly noisy camera preamp, I'd go to +5 on the microphones and maybe 6 on the receiver, this way I can turn the camera's gain down a bit to get the cleanest signal. I hope that helps. 😀

If you are asking about the original Blink 500 B2 system that we released in 2018, the B2+'s internal mic definitely sounds better in my opinion. If you are comparing it to the Blink 500 ProX B2, I would say the ProX's internal mic sounds better, but that is almost twice the price and has lavaliers. The B2+ does have a killer microphone and when compared to some popular wireless systems' internal mics that are $250 and even $350, many reviewers had mentioned that the B2+'s mics cound better, and I agree. I also prefer the B2+'s mic sound to the Q20. It is a great system for the money.

@@SaramonicUSA Thanks for your reply. I used to use B2 old version. I make vlog outside and I need a noise canceling mode mic. I think I'll go get myself the B2+ since the ProX is still out of my budget 😄

You could use these for stereo, but your set-up and placement has to be precise. Please see "Setups for stereo: AB" in this article: pulse.ly/nlpb2ucf4iYou could also construct a mannequin head that would hold the transmitter in the ears of the head. This might be more complicated that you want. Primarily, the stereo setting is to be used for dual mono, recording one subject to the left, and the other subject to the right. For a stereo recording, it is much easier to use a stereo recorder or mic with an XY microphone pattern, a stereo binaural microphone or head mic, or 2x cardioid lavalier mics (positioned correctly) into a wireless system. For simplicties sake, I suggest a good recorder with a stereo XY mic, they can be had for $79 and above. I hope that helps.

@@SaramonicUSA It's not hard to record in stereo space if you have a true stereo recorder. I've done it easily many times with my condensers and tascam DR mkiii. I also used the first DJI Mic, 30 ft apart in my yard, as well as holding them in my hands and got a stereo image. I've since sold them looking for a new mic set. Sadly, this set sounds like it's simply dual mono which is not what I'm looking for. Thanks for clarifying, though!

@@SaramonicUSA Thanks for a fast reply. I bought the product in Sweden and now I'm Thailand. If I had been at home, I could have gone to the store with it.

This does not connect via Bluetooth. Bluetooth would have a much lower audio resolution than the digital connections this system has via USB-C or Lightning. This system has a digital resolution of 24-Bit/48kHz, while Bluetooth would be much much lower.

Yes, only one mic flag is included. The image and mention of 2x flags in the video is not accurate. Unfortunately, the video was completed before the mass production was finalized, and the included accessories had changed. Please accept our apologies.

Hi, yes! The Blink 100 B5 and B6 will work with the iPhone 15.

It will work with your Boya adapter for sure, and it will work with the DJI Osmo 3 with the Boya adapter. I hope you like it.
