The system offers two ultracompact clip-on mic/transmitters, two lavalier mics, and a two-channel receiver to provide a portable, all-inclusive solution that lets you record two subjects at once to your phone or tablet's USB Type-C port.
Each of the two compact transmitters weighs less than 1 oz and features a built-in clip and an omnidirectional microphone, making them simple to attach to a lapel or shirt for quick and easy hands-free audio. The back of each clip is magnetic, and two iron pads are included—providing an alternative way to discreetly attach the transmitters to clothing.

For a more low-profile visual appearance, you can use the included lavalier microphones and simply plug the mics' 3.9' cables into the 3.5mm input jacks on the transmitters.
The tiny, lightweight two-channel receiver plugs directly into the USB Type-C port on your mobile device which supplies it with power, and allows you to record both subjects to your phone using a single component.
The transmitters feature internal, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that will run for up to 6 hours and are recharged through their USB ports. The system can be expanded with additional transmitters and receivers to allow up to 8 microphones in use on set at one time.

Unwanted low-end rumbles can be reduced via the high-pass filter with settings at 75 Hz, while the high-frequency boost switch can be engaged to add presence for more intelligible dialog.

The Godox VDS-M2 is a camera-mounted shotgun microphone for vloggers, livestreamers, videographers, and mobile journalists looking for a microphone that provides higher-quality sound capture than their device's built-in mic. The mic provides a powerful feature set that allows you to tailor the sound to your needs, offers both 3.5mm and USB audio outputs, and includes three cables to allow proper hookup to your camera, portable audio recorder, smartphone, tablet, or computer.
The mic features a supercardioid pickup pattern that focuses audio capture on the subject and reduces unwanted background sound. A dial on the rear of the mic allows you to set a precise input volume, and engaging the -20 dB pad allows the mic to handle louder sources. The safety track option outputs a second audio track to your recording device at a -20 dB lower volume, giving you a backup in case the main output level is too hot.
Unwanted low-end rumbles can be reduced via the high-pass filter with settings at 75 and 150 Hz, while the high-frequency boost switch can be engaged to add presence for more intelligible dialog. The VDS-M2 runs on a built-in rechargeable battery for approximately 25 hours and mounts to your camera's shoe mount using a shock-absorbing mount that reduces vibrations and handling noise for cleaner recordings. An included foam windscreen helps to further reduce noise.
Featuring a highly directional pickup pattern with a super-flat response and low self-noise, the VDS-M2 is designed to deliver clear, natural sound without any coloration. The supercardioid pickup pattern helps to focus audio capture on the subject in front of the camera, reducing unwanted background noise.
With a variable gain control from 1 to 15, you can tailor the input level very precisely. Additional useful and convenient features to help you get high-quality recordings include a high-pass filter (with 75 Hz and 150 Hz options), -20 dB pad, high-frequency boost, safety channel, and dB peak warning light. Conveniently, all the settings will be saved for you—even after the mic is turned off.
Equipped with a USB Type-C output and an auto-sensing 3.5mm output, the VDS-M2 microphone can work seamlessly with your camera, DSLR, computer, and mobile phone. TRRS, TRS, and USB Type-C cables are supplied to connect to your preferred device. When the mic is plugged into your computer, tablet, or smartphone via the USB output, the 3.5mm output will automatically transform into a headphone output for real-time audio monitoring.
The included shockmount effectively prevents unwanted vibration noises caused by body movements and device operations. At the bottom of the shockmount is a cold shoe mount that easily attaches the mic to your camera.
The VDS-M2 is powered by a built-in rechargeable battery for up to 25 hours on a charge.
The included foam windscreen aids in reducing wind noise while protecting the mic from weather and dust.
