Saramonic Blink500 B1

The Blink 500 B1 kit comes with a single-channel wireless clip-on transmitter with a built-in microphone, a professional lavalier microphone, and an ultra-compact dual-channel receiver that mounts to your camera's hot shoe with TRS and TRRS output cables. You can place a microphone on one person, but if you ever need to place microphones on two people, you can simply add a second wireless transmitter (sold separately) and it will work perfectly with the included dual receiver.

Blink 500 is one of the smallest and lightest systems you can get, but with professional-quality sound, ideal for filmmakers, journalists, vloggers, YouTube creators, corporate video producers, or any content creator who needs an incredibly easy-to-operate wireless system.

Some wireless microphone systems are complicated to operate and require detailed knowledge of their menus and settings, but the Blink 500 B1 is so technically advanced that it couldn't be easier to use. Simply turn it on and it works. But behind the scenes, the Blink 500 is doing a lot to ensure excellent performance.

It operates in the interference-free 2.4GHz spectrum and automatically jumps channels to avoid static noise and audio dropouts. Pairing the transmitter with the receiver is simple, and all the complicated aspects of using wireless microphones happen seamlessly in the background, allowing you to focus on the narration and get a great shot.

One of the delicate aspects of sound capture for video is controlling the audio levels. Some people speak very loudly, while others speak very softly. That is why the Blink 500 transmitters have easy-to-use gain buttons to turn the levels up or down with just the touch of a button, and a smart LED screen shows you where they are set. The built-in lithium batteries get 5 hours of battery life on a charge with the included charging cables, and the USB-C ports can be used to power or recharge the units in the field with portable USB battery packs. The transmitter's 10-milliwatt power gives you an impressive range of 30 meters (98 feet) with obstacles and 50 meters (164 feet) in open spaces.

The Kit includes TRS and TRRS output cables, so the system will work perfectly with DSLR, mirrorless, and other types of cameras, as well as smartphones and tablets that have headphone jacks. The receiver output provides a strong and noise-free level, so when you plug it in you can set your camera's input level to its lowest setting to avoid hearing your camera's preamp noise.
