SC15 Lightning to USB-C Cable

RODE SC15 — Connect the VideoMic NTG to Your iPhone Without a Dongle

The gist: A 30cm USB-C to Lightning cable that plugs the RODE VideoMic NTG directly into iPhones with Lightning ports — clean digital audio from your on-camera mic into your iOS recording app without a separate adapter in the chain.

• Direct USB-C to Lightning digital connection: Routes audio digitally from the VideoMic NTG’s USB-C output to Lightning-port iPhones, bypassing the 3.5mm jack and any analog-to-digital conversion quality loss.
• Right-angle Lightning connector: The angled plug sits flush against the bottom of an iPhone rather than protruding, keeping the cable neat when the phone is mounted on a rig or tripod.
• 30cm working length: Short enough to run cleanly between a mic clipped to your iPhone case or mounted above and the phone’s Lightning port without spare cable to manage.
• MFi-certified: Apple-certified for Lightning compatibility, ensuring reliable detection and no “accessory not supported” interruptions mid-recording.

RODE’s official page confirms the SC15 is designed specifically to connect the VideoMic NTG via USB-C to Lightning-port iPhones, with MFi certification and right-angle connector design.

Best for: iPhone-based travel videographers and vloggers who use the RODE VideoMic NTG and want a compact, lossless digital audio connection to their Lightning-port iOS device. Skip it if: You have a newer iPhone with USB-C (iPhone 15+), you need to also charge your phone while recording, or your RODE mic uses a 3.5mm output rather than USB-C.
