Know before you buy
No, the MKE 200 is a battery-free microphone. It is powered directly by your camera or smartphone through the 3.5mm connection.
Yes, but you will need to use the appropriate 3.5mm adapter (such as a Lightning or USB-C dongle) provided by your phone manufacturer to connect the microphone cable.
The MKE 200 features a built-in windscreen and shock mount to reduce handling noise and light wind interference. For heavy wind, you may want to add an additional furry windshield, though the integrated design handles most standard vlogging environments well.
The clamp is designed to be versatile and adjustable, accommodating most standard smartphones. However, if you use an exceptionally thick or ruggedized case, you may need to remove it for a secure fit.
Yes, the Manfrotto PIXI features a standard 1/4-inch screw thread, making it compatible with most compact mirrorless cameras. Just ensure your camera setup does not exceed the weight capacity of the tripod.
The MKE 200 uses a directional polar pattern, which is optimized to capture sound directly in front of the mic while rejecting background noise. It is best suited for vlogging or solo reporting rather than capturing audio from multiple directions.
