Ideal for the Modern Content Creator

The XS Lav USB-C is an accessible and affordable tool for improving your content with pro-style audio. This is because the mic on your phone or DSLR/Mirrorless camera system captures more than just vocals, with loud exterior sounds such as traffic-noise drowning out your voice. The XS Lav USB-C utilises an omnidirectional polar pattern for enhanced speech intelligibility. In short, this means that background noise is minimised and vocals become the key focus of your audio recording. Due to its compact, minimal design and plug-and-play functionality, setting up the XS Lav takes no time at all. You can easily clip the mic discreetly to your shirt collar, lapel, pocket, tie, or other item of clothing for a pro-level look and impressive sound quality.

Manfrotto PIXI Mini Tripod

The Manfrotto PIXI Mini Tripod is a rugged and lightweight mini tripod. It is equipped with a ball-joint head and push-button locking mechanism, which makes it easy to change and adjust your smartphone to the right position. It has rubber feet that provide grip on most surfaces and collapsible legs, which convert this tripod into a handheld vlogging tool. It has a maximum weight load of 1kg and a universal ¼" screw thread that is suitable for a wide range of devices.

Sennheiser Smartphone Clamp

The kit also comes with the Sennheiser Smartphone Clamp that will screw directly onto the Manfrotto PIXI Mini Tripod's ¼" thread. The clamp is made from solid aluminium and features soft rubber grips that will securely grip onto more smartphones. It has a 180° locking dial allowing for easy landscape/portrait transitions. The clamp has 4 ¼ screw threads and a further 3/8 mounting option that will cover a range of tripods, and an integrated cold shoe mount allows you to attach your smartphone to your camera hot shoe.

FAQs:

Can this be used for two-way conversations over Skype?

The Sennheiser XS Lav USB-C is great for two-way conversations, distanced interviews and conferences over Skype, Microsoft Teams, and more. This is because the USB-C connection allows your mobile device to still utilise its internal mic to output audio (or via headphones).

How does the USB-C connection differ to the previous Mobile (TRRS)?

The Mobile (TRRS) connection utilises your device's headphone input, which can become troublesome as it restricts real-time headphone monitoring and two-way conversations. This is because a TRRS mic disables your onboard speakers, whereas a USB-C connection is entirely separate.

What forms of content creation is the Sennheiser XS Lav USB-C best suited to?

The Sennheiser XS Lav USB-C is great for vlogging on-the-go, content creation, broadcasting, conference calls, and two-way conversations via Skype etc.

Does it come with a carry pouch?

This device comes with a smart Sennheiser carry pouch for easy transportation.

Can you use this with a third-party USB-C to USB-A adapter?

If your mobile device does not have a USB-C port, you can use a third-party USB-A to USB-C adapter. The Angelbird USB-A-C Adapter would be an ideal purchase for this.
