The kit consists of 1 clip-on transmitter, 1 dual-channel portable receiver and 1 lavalier microphone.

The clip of the Blink500 RX receiver allows you to easily attach it to the camera's hot shoe and is complete with the output cables necessary for connecting it to the camera, smartphone, computer and other devices with a 3.5 mm jack audio input.

The Blink500 TX transmitter has a built-in omnidirectional microphone that sounds great and is small and lightweight enough to clip directly onto your shirt or clothing.
