Wavo Mobile - Micro Shotgun Microphone for Phones
Tired of bad, crackly audio with the sound of a 747 every time you go outside? Do yourself a favor and upgrade your audio quality with the Wavo Mobile. This compact Microphone features an all-metal body for durability and a Hytrel Single Point Lyre to isolate unwanted vibrations. The base allows for attachment via locking cold shoe mount or 1⁄4 20-for added security. When venturing outside you can easily attach the included windshield to help tune out the pesky gusts so that your audience can hear your crispy vocals no matter the location.
This lightweight, on-camera (or phone) microphone improves sound quality at far distances without weighing down your rig. Connectors for both mobile and camera devices are provided, no batteries needed - making it the perfect microphone for mobile filmmakers, run-and-gun shooters, and mobile journalists.
This item is available for purchase for US customers only.

JOBY Wavo Mobile Micro Shotgun Microphone — Better Audio on Your Phone, No Cables to Chase
The gist: A lightweight, bus-powered cardioid shotgun mic that plugs directly into your smartphone or camera and includes both TRS and TRRS cables — a fast, no-battery audio upgrade for mobile travel creators.
- Cardioid shotgun pickup pattern: 35Hz–18kHz frequency response focused in front of the mic; rejects side noise from street traffic, cafe chatter, and wind.
- Rycote Lyre shock mount: Hytrel single-point lyre isolates the capsule from camera taps, footstep vibrations, and hand-hold rumble — cleaner recordings without a post-processing step.
- Works with phone AND camera: Both TRS (camera) and TRRS (smartphone) cables included; no separate adapter needed to switch between shooting on a mirrorless and a phone.
- No batteries, ultra-light: Bus-powered by your phone or camera; at 70g it adds minimal weight to any mobile rig or phone gimbal setup.
CVP and Hunt’s Photo & Video list confirmed specs including the Rycote Lyre isolator and windscreen, noting the Wavo Mobile is purpose-built for mobile filmmakers and run-and-gun shooters.
Best for: Travel vloggers and mobile journalists who shoot primarily on a smartphone or compact camera and need a reliable plug-and-play audio upgrade. Skip it if: you are outside the US — this SKU is listed as US-only. Runs around $42 — check the current price before buying.
