Nice to see options like this.

High-end gear is great to work with, but I really like to see affordable options like this make content creation accessible.

how do you monitor the sound whilst recording on iphone?

[@TwistedGorillaFab]

Any idea why my iPhone 13 will not change to mic when I use this external Mic? When I plug into the phone I get the solid red light on the side. Then turn on the mic and pairs and turns green. Then I tried it with several apps and nothing. Thanks I’m advance.

Will this work with 3rd party audio recording apps?

[@askdrtk]

Yes, I have tested it with Voice Record Pro, Filmic Pro, and Pro Camera by Moment. There is no guarantee on all apps, but I have found that if iOS allows one third party app to access an external device others are ok as well, at least from the iOS perspective.

Is it possible to connect more than two LeeReel mics to one receiver?

[@askdrtk]

Unfortunately I don't have additional mics to test. If anyone else has tried this, please let the community know.

How far away will the mic pick up sound?

[@askdrtk]

You can use it mounted out of frame, but any more than 18 inches (45 cm) and it will start to pick up too much room noise. I do find it works best when clipped to clothing as wearing it close to you also helps block some of the room noise. Hope this helps out!

i have a pair of similar ones, but like a week ago when i connect the sound is very bad, like rocky... could be because i updated to iOS 16.0.3? do you have some fin or a checklist so i can sea what happened? (i've connected to other iPhone with iOS 12.5.6 and the mic works. PLEASE HELP!☹

[@askdrtk]

IOS 16.0.3 broke the connection between external microphones and many apps. The latest IOS 16.1 beta3 has fixed this and the full 16.1 release is expected on Monday. Once you do the update your microphone should work again.
