Rode later gave that product a <a href=\"https:\/\/help.rode.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/13248157761039-How-to-Claim-Your-Free-Wireless-Micro-Camera-Receiver-CRX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">free upgrade<\/a>, sending out another receiver that let the mics <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redsharknews.com\/rode-launches-basically-free-wireless-micro-camera-receiver\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">connect to digital cameras<\/a>, too. Now, the company is launching an updated version of that receiver with an OLED screen \u2014\u00a0but this time, it\u2019s charging for it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The new version of Rode\u2019s wireless camera receiver is now available as part of a Wireless Micro Camera Kit that bundles it with two Wireless Micro lavalier mics and an additional wireless receiver used to connect the mics to mobile devices using their USB-C or Lightning ports. The kit is priced at $149, which is what Rode\u2019s Wireless Micro system was initially priced at when it launched last November (minus a camera receiver) before getting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/794150\/rode-wireless-micro-lavalier-wireless-microphone-color-orange\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">price cut earlier this month to $99<\/a> when new color options were introduced. Rode\u2019s wireless lav mics still don\u2019t offer as much functionality as DJI\u2019s offerings like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/11\/26\/24305428\/dji-mic-mini-osmo-audio-microphone-wireless\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mic Mini<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/767297\/dji-mic-3-wireless-microphone-launch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mic 3<\/a>, but they\u2019re more competitively priced.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/rode4.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0.0099980003999178,100,99.9800039992\" alt=\"A person framing someone wearing a wireless Rode lav mic with the company\u2019s new wireless receiver connected to a camera.\" title=\"A person framing someone wearing a wireless Rode lav mic with the company\u2019s new wireless receiver connected to a camera.\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"&lt;em&gt;The camera receiver\u2019s display is just 1.1 inches in size, but provides useful info about battery life and signal strength at a glance.&lt;\/em&gt; | Image: Rode\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Rode\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">As with the original, the new receiver is designed to sit atop cameras by connecting to their cold shoe mount while audio from up to two wireless mics is delivered to the camera through a USB-C or 3.5mm audio cable. Battery life is estimated to be up to seven hours and is maximized by the receiver only powering on when it\u2019s connected to a camera. The receiver\u2019s runtime can be further extended to up to 21 hours using the Wireless Micro Camera Kit\u2019s charging case when you\u2019re away from a power source.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The 1.1-inch OLED screen shows details about the battery life and signal strength of the receiver and wirelessly connected devices. It works alongside three buttons for navigating and adjusting various settings including gain assist levels, but for ease of use the receiver can also make those adjustments automatically to suppress volume spikes and ensure all the audio coming into the camera is perfectly balanced.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rode\u2019s Wireless Micro Camera Kit includes a charging case to extend the battery life of its receivers and mics.\ufeff | [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1563","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-non-classe"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1563","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1563"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1563\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1563"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1563"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1563"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
