\"RODE<\/a>You bought that new DSLR to shoot some awesome video. Too bad its microphone is one tiny little hole near the flash. Obviously you need auxiliary firepower. RODE Microphones to the rescue with their IXY stereo mic for iPhone<\/a> and a holder to match.<\/p>\n

With the number of photographers that carry the iPhone, it was only natural to make a mic that leverages the iPhone to make it the most useful it can be.<\/p>\n

In the attached video, you see what a full sound you get from the iXY mic compared to the iPhone\u2019s native microphone\u2026which I used to think did a fairly decent job. The iXY mic feels very sturdy yet weighs in under 2 ounces, so it\u2019s very pocketable.<\/p>\n
