Manfrotto PIXI Mini Table Top Tripod (Black)

The black PIXI Mini Table Top Tripod from Manfrotto doubles as a tabletop tripod and a handheld grip support for a DSLR, point and shoot, or compact camcorder. The legs are rounded on their outer side, so the closed tripod provides a comfortable hand grip. When open, the tripod and head have a maximum height of 5.31". Rubber feet prevent slipping and protect delicate surfaces.

Fabricated from stainless steel and black Adapto polymer, the PIXI supports up to 2.2 pounds while weighing only 6.7 ounces. Its built-in ball head has a 1/4"-20 camera screw and a unique design that allows adjustments and locking with a single push button. Besides cameras, the PIXI is also ideal for iPhones outfitted with the optional Manfrotto KLYP, and other small devices.

DSLR Compatibility

The PIXI has been developed for entry level DSLRs fitting these basic requirements:

• Body: maximum weight of 1.4 lb
• Focal length: maximum 85mm (standard non-professional lens)
• Total equipment payload: maximum 2.2 lb

Sennheiser XS Lav USB-C Lapel Mic (Computers & Mobile Devices with USB-C Ports)

Whether you use computers or mobile devices with a USB-C port, you'll be able to record yourself simply and effectively with the Sennheiser XS Lav USB-C. This is a lapel mic designed to give you Sennheiser-quality sound in an easy-to-use, wallet-friendly form factor. Use it for recording mobile videos, broadcasting on Facebook or Instagram Live, or anywhere else you'd need a digital lav mic.

The omnidirectional polar pattern picks up sound from all around the capsule, making positioning a breeze. Powered by your device, the mic doesn't need downloadable drivers: it works right out of the box. A mic clip, a foam windscreen, and a convenient carry pouch are included.

The Right Tool for the Job

The XS Lav features an omnidirectional microphone, a type most commonly used in professional broadcast applications. The ability to discreetly clip the mic to clothing offers both a professional look and great sound.

USB-C Connection

Plugging a TRRS microphone into a 3.5mm headset input will disable your onboard speakers. By using the XS Lav USB-C, you can utilize two-way communication for applications such as Skype, Zoom or other video conferencing platforms. Although not every device has USB-C ports, third-party USB-C to USB-A adapters are affordable and readily available.

Simple and Effective

Setting up the XS Lav is hassle-free. Your phone or computer will power the microphone and automatically switch from the internal mic, no further steps required. Simply plug the cable into your device and you're ready to record.

Record with Clarity

Upgrading your audio is one of the best ways to improve the quality of your content. Traditionally, onboard microphones in computers and mobile devices capture more than just your voice. Removing distracting room noise helps focus your audio, providing a more enjoyable experience for your listener.
