Questions about RØDE smartLav+

Yes, it works wonderfully... The cable is short, but there is an accessory cable of 6m that I also have and it works best.

The microphone is compatible with your Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 as it has a TRRS connector that fits directly into the 3.5 mm jack of your mobile. Make sure you activate the correct setting in your mobile to receive audio from the jack socket.

The device requires a 3.5 mm jack connection.

I don't know that. I need an adapter for the GoPro. I suppose so

Hello and thank you for your question. From what I've read on the Rode website, the transmitter in the Wireless GO II kit has a 3.5 TRS jack. If you want to connect your SmartLav+, you'll need to buy the Rode SC3 TRRS - TRS adapter. I had this problem with the old version of the Wireless Go. I hope I've been helpful. Best regards.

In principle intended for mobile phone and TRS on photo app and camera

Hii Try this adapter: RØDE SC3 TRRS to TRS Adapter Since the microphone is actually for use on a smartphone, the pinout may simply be wrong.

I can't answer that. I use this microphone with a Sony camera.

Hello and thank you for your question. Looking closer and doing some research on various websites, it appears that a USB-C > Jack 3.5 adapter does NOT necessarily support the functionality of an external lapel microphone. It would be interesting to: see: a) if your USB-C > 3.5 jack adapter is TRRS and therefore SmartLAV+ compatible b) if the smartphone delivers a DC voltage of about 1.5 volts to bias the microphone c) if there are options to set on the camera application of your Oneplus 7t (I'm on IOS with the Filmic Pro application) and there are possibilities to select the microphone connected to the jack port. I know there are microphones with a USB connector, which require a USB-C On-The-Go adapter, but I digress. According to a post on the Oneplus website, it's quoted that the camera's native app doesn't allow recording an external mic, but the article is from 2017, I don't know if your smartphone is newer. Feel free to check out YouTube and Google for inspiration. I hope I have been able to help you. Best regards, Jean-Michel

Exactly, you need a USB-C to 3.5mm jack adapter for this. (Here, for example, from Samsung directly: https://shop.samsung.ch/de/samsung-usb-c-auf-35-mm-klinkenanschluss-adapter/pid/481114)

If the smartphone has a 3.5 mm jack connection, the microphone will work safely.

Apple offers an official 3.5mm to Lightning or USB-C adapter. Your iPhone XR has a Lightning connector => Apple Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter (Lightning, 3.5mm) It's also worth comparing prices online 😎

Lavalier mics are not for recording from a distance. A lavalier mic should not pick up these sounds. For that you need a boom mic. However, the quality should be noticeably better than that of the smartphone mic. Also, you may not want to have the phone in the picture. Lavalier mics can be hidden well.

Of course it works. It had nothing to do with audio or video.

On my smartphone I use the Rode SC6 adapter for two microphones and a headset. On my Mac I have an external audio card (docking station in Thunderbolt) with separate audio inputs and outputs.

It depends on the type of female mini-jack on your computer. If a standard phone's headphone/mic works, the smartlav will work. If not, I bought my smartlav in a bundle with a stereo adapter here at Digitec. But on my laptop, the smartlav works without adapter.

Solution attempt 1: You can try to change the audio output in your audio programme. This is possible in all common programmes (Skype, Teams, Zoom, Discord etc.). Somewhere there is a setting where you can change the audio output. You can also change the output device on your Macbook directly by clicking on the speaker symbol in the top right-hand corner. Solution 2: I still had to buy this additional adapter for my computer. I never tried the microphone on my Macbook. It's possible that it works without it. Otherwise you need this product here: RØDE SC3 TRRS to TRS Adapter

It depends on your laptop and what kind of connection it has. The microphone is “TRRS” and works on my MacBook Pro and I think on most current Macs/iPads, but it doesn’t work on my Dell Latitude 7390 2 in 1 (also doesn’t work on the Dell with my TRS adapter). To be sure I think you’ll need to google to see what kind of input your laptop has but it can be very hard to find the answer.

Hello, the smartLav+ is not compatible with the Wireless Go. You have to use a Rode SC3 adapter to use it. (Grey female, black male).

If this smartphone has a 3.5mm jack, it will work. Android and a good recording app will do the rest of the job

If you put the necessary adapter in between, then sure.

Hi, I have the SmartLav in use with the Zoom H6. At first I also had problems until I read that the input has to be supplied with 12V phantom power to make it work...and the TRs adapter was a must. Maybe this hint will help you...?

It took me a long time with the Oneplus3. The Rode app is simply not available for Android. But otherwise a recorder works too. I now have the Oneplus7. It actually works with the usb-c adapter, but only if you also buy the SC3 adapter from rode. That's why I would buy the Smartlav+SC3 package from digitec right away.

The Smartlav+ can be connected via the standard adapter from the iPhone (3.5mm jack to Thunderbolt). For the actual recording, I recommend the Rode Rec app.
