🎧 Why Go Wireless?
When using Vlogmate Mini, your phone’s Type-C or Lightning port is already occupied, making it impossible to plug in a wired microphone. That’s where a Bluetooth
microphone comes in handy 👇
1️⃣ Port Occupied
Vlogmate Mini connects directly to your phone’s only port, leaving no room for wired mics.
Bluetooth audio transmission keeps your setup totally wireless.
2️⃣ Bluetooth = Freedom
Enjoy up to 10 meters of reliable range. Move freely, frame creatively — even when filming solo.
3️⃣ Native Blackmagic Cam Support
The Blackmagic Cam App has a built-in “Bluetooth Mic” input option. Your audio and video stay perfectly in sync — no post-production alignment needed.
