The Saramonic Blink 500 family of products is well-known for delivering broadcast-quality sound from an impossibly compact and lightweight system. Easy to operate, the Blink 500 takes the guesswork out of audio, allowing you to focus on your content. One of the smallest wireless mic systems available, the Blink 500 is a top choice for filmmakers, journalists, vloggers, YouTubers, corporate video producers, and any content creator on the go. It operates on the 2.4GHz spectrum, allowing it to automatically switch channels to avoid static noise and dropouts. If your needs grow after purchasing this system, it can be paired with a second Blink 500 TX transmitter.
The Blink 500 B1 uses a dual camera micro-receiver that mounts to the shoe of your camera, and one transmitter with built-in lavalier microphone. Small and versatile to adapt to your needs in each video shot, the transmitter can clip to a shirt, slide into a pocket, sit on a table or podium, or be handheld. Pairing the transmitter to the receiver is simple, as the process is complete once the lav system is powered on for the first time. Both TRS and TRRS output cables are included so the system is equally compatible with cameras and mobile devices. Flexibility for space is another plus with this system. The transmitter operates at a 98-foot range from the receiver with some obstacles, and up to 164 feet in open spaces.
Designed for excellent video production, this wireless mic uses an omnidirectional pattern, making it great at picking up ambient sound. A foam windscreen is included so breezes and vent noises are minimized. The Blink 500 B1 transmitter features easy-to-use gain buttons so gain level can be adjusted at the touch of a button, helping ease the challenge of capturing quality audio during video production. Internal Lithium-ion batteries provide a 5-hour run time and are recharged with the included cables. Running out of battery during a shoot is no longer a worry, as batteries can be recharged on the go with USB-C ports (included) and portable battery packs (sold separately).
