Lavalier II - Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone (Black)

RØDE Lavalier II — Disappear Into Your Shot, Not Your Audio

The gist: A professional-grade clip-on mic small enough to hide under a collar, with the sound quality to survive demanding travel content where ambient noise is a constant battle.

• Discreet low-profile capsule: Custom flat cable and ultra-small head hide easily under clothing or clip to a collar for on-camera interviews, walking tours, and street vlogs.
• Omnidirectional pickup, 20Hz–20kHz: Captures natural, tonally flat speech from all directions — consistent audio whether the subject turns their head or shifts position.
• Locking 3.5mm TRS: Click-locks securely into Wireless GO II and AI-Micro transmitters — no accidental unplugs during active outdoor shoots.
• Mini furry windshield included: Cuts wind noise on outdoor recordings without extra kit to buy.

Newsshooter’s hands-on review of the Lavalier II describes it as notably more sensitive than comparable mics, with a “tonally neutral” response that requires less EQ cleanup in post.

Best for: Travel content creators using a Wireless GO II or AI-Micro rig who need a discreet, high-quality lav for interviews and walking narration. Skip it if: You only need a lav for occasional smartphone clips — the SC7 + VideoMicro combo is cheaper for that use case. Runs ~$54 — check the current price before buying.
