overview

The kit is centered around the MV88+ microphone, and adds all the accessories needed to create a portable and versatile audio/video rig that is self-contained, easy to use, and ready to capture great-sounding content on your smartphone. The Manfrotto PIXI mini tripod is a versatile tripod that can be placed on a desktop or folded into a grip for handheld work. Also attach the MV88+ mic into the versatile mic clip, allowing you to mount it on your phone using the phone clamp. The clamp adjusts to fit any size smartphone.

Whether reporting from the field, collaborating on a video-conference call, or capturing a musical performance, the mic's built-in headphone output lets you properly monitor your sound in real time, and the windscreen helps to reduce wind noise. While using the ShurePlus MOTIV app for iOS and Android phones, you can control the mic and audio settings, and have it function as a full-featured audio/video recorder.

The MV88+ Video Kit works in tandem with the free ShurePlus MOTIV audio/video app. The app offers digital signal processing (DSP) with presets to get you started quickly. Included is a limiter to avoid overloading the input, a compressor to help level out volume differences, and an EQ/filter to tame problem frequencies and reduce low-end rumbles. The MOTIV app give you real-time control over the mic so you can achieve the best possible sound for the situation, even in challenging environments. It all packs up neatly into a roll-up bag that safely keeps your accessories in one place, so nothing gets lost.

Power the mic using either the included 15" Lightning or USB Type-C cable with your iOS or Android phone. The MV88+ microphone isn't limited to smartphone use. Once configured, it can also work with a Mac or Windows computer or an iPad Pro, operating with device-dependent gain control options and the last settings made on the app.
