Overview

The Saramonic Blink 500 RXDi is an incredibly compact, lightweight, and professional sounding wireless dual-receiver that was made for the Apple iPhone and iPad.

The RXDi makes using multiple wireless microphones with Apple devices as easy as possible. It connects directly to the Lightning port, and no batteries or charging is required. The RXDi provides broadcast-quality sound in an incredibly compact and lightweight package.

So advanced, it’s effortless.
Some wireless microphone receivers are complicated to operate, but the Blink 500 RXDi is so technically advanced that it couldn’t be easier to use. There are no controls to adjust, but the device does a lot behind the scenes to ensure excellent performance. It operates on the interference-free 2.4GHz spectrum, and automatically hops channels to avoid static noise and audio dropouts. Pairing with transmitters is simple, and all of the complicated aspects of using wireless microphones happen seamlessly in the background, letting you concentrate on storytelling and getting a great shot.

Handheld gimbal, meet wireless sound.
Handheld gimbals have the amazing ability to deliver cinematically smooth video footage that makes it feel like the camera is floating, but one area where they suffer is audio. It’s simply too difficult to attach external microphones or wireless receivers without throwing off the balance of the device. The RXDi changes this story. It’s small and lightweight enough to remain mounted to your Apple device and won’t interfere with the motors or arm of your gimbal. You can finally capture perfect sound with your mobile gimbal footage when used with Blink 500 TX transmitters (sold separately).
