No matter where you are, the Roadieographer bundle empowers you with simple, user-friendly setup and convenient portability for single-camera shoots.

Portable and Secure Backpack
The Roadieographer bundle was created for musicians by musicians with the goal of putting the power of content creation in the hands of those who are creating the art. Creativity is often spontaneous, so being able to set up on the go is very important. The included Benro Tourist backpack allows you to keep all of your valuable devices in one easily accessible place.
- Weatherproof, padded, and secure
- Foam modular inserts to fit any array
- Waist strap and top handle for easy carriage
- Room for camera, mobile device, and laptop
- Pockets on the outside stretch and secure tripods, mics stands, cables, etc.
- Equipment pocket opens from the back for security on public transit
- Fits easily under aircraft or bus seat
- Main pocket opens from the back of the bag, keeping your items secure against you
Flexible and Stable Camera/Smartphone Mounting
Even if budget constraints prevent you from investing in a professional camera, you can use your smartphone to capture quality audio, video, and photo content. The Benro PP1 PocketPod tabletop tripod / handgrip allows you to stabilize your images and video for smartphones, action cameras, or DSLR/mirrorless cameras. It fits comfortably in the hand whether used as a selfie device or for catching hard-to-reach angled shots.
Also included for flexibility is the all-metal, machined Saramonic SR-BSP1C smartphone clamp. This clamp easily mounts to the PP1 in vertical and horizontal arrays while keeping your phone locked in and secure in all shooting situations.
Shotgun Mic Improves Audio for Video and Beyond
As musicians and content creators, one of the most important aspects of content creation is audio. Recording yourself or others in loud or soft dynamic environments can be challenging on any device, but having a quality directional microphone sets you up for success.
The Saramonic Vmic Mini is an ultracompact and lightweight cardioid condenser microphone that mounts directly to the included Saramonic SR-BSP1C smartphone clamp, DSLR/mirrorless cameras, or any other device with a cold shoe. Since it runs on plug-in power, no batteries are required.
The Vmic Mini lets you capture broadcast-quality sound at the source and improve the sonic impact of your mobile productions. It can be connected to cameras and audio recorders with the included TRS cable or to smartphones and tablets with the included TRRS cable. A separately available dongle is required for use with iOS Lightning or USB Type-C devices.
The all-metal construction, precision-cut body, and unique shockmount make this microphone robust and durable. Its diminutive size allows the mic to be placed in areas that larger shotgun/pencil condenser mics just won't fit. If you're shooting outside, remember to place the included fitted foam windscreen over the mic before shooting; it will protect your mic from wind and weather.
