Whether you're recording a travel vlog, a quick interview, or shooting a news segment in the field, this kit offers a lightweight, portable setup for achieving professional sound and stable video anywhere, anytime.

Second-Generation MKE 400 Shotgun Microphone

The heart of the kit is the second-generation Sennheiser MKE 400, a compact, camera-mount shotgun microphone designed to dramatically improve audio quality in noisy environments. It features a supercardioid pickup pattern, built-in wind protection, and internal shock absorption, helping you focus on the sound in front of the mic while minimizing ambient and handling noise.

Additional pro-level features include a 3-stage gain control, a switchable low-cut filter, and a 3.5mm headphone output with volume adjustment. These onboard controls let you tailor your sound directly at the mic, no extra gear required.

Dual Output Cables for Camera and Smartphone Use

Included in the kit are two locking 3.5mm coiled output cables:

• A TRS cable for use with DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and audio recorders

• A TRRS cable for smartphones and tablets with 3.5mm inputs

The secure locking connector prevents accidental disconnections at the mic, ensuring consistent, reliable performance throughout your shoot.

Clear Monitoring with Built-In Headphone Jack

Monitoring your audio is essential when recording, and the MKE 400 includes a 3.5mm headphone port with volume control. This lets you listen in real time, even if your camera or phone doesn’t have a headphone jack, so you can catch and fix issues before they ruin your take.

Long Battery Life with Smart Power Features

The mic runs for up to 100 hours on two AAA batteries, giving you plenty of time to shoot without interruption. An auto-power function uses your device’s plug-in power to automatically turn the mic on and off, helping to conserve battery life. A low-battery indicator notifies you when about three hours remain.

Built-In and External Wind Protection

The MKE 400 includes integrated wind protection to help reduce low-level wind and mechanical noise. For outdoor shoots or windy conditions, simply slip on the included furry windshield for enhanced noise suppression, no need for bulky external accessories.

Directional Audio Capture in a Compact Body

At just 5 inches long and 3.3 ounces, the MKE 400 is small enough to stay out of the frame while providing highly focused, detailed sound. Its acoustic interference tube enhances directionality, letting you isolate voices in front of the camera while rejecting distracting background sounds.

Adjustable Gain and Low-Cut Filter

Whether you're recording quiet dialogue or loud environments, the 3-stage gain switch helps you adjust the mic’s sensitivity to suit your setup. Use the -20 dB setting for loud sources, 0 dB for standard situations, or +20 dB to boost quiet input levels. The low-cut filter rolls off frequencies below 200 Hz, helping to eliminate rumble and low-end interference from HVAC systems or traffic.

Manfrotto PIXI Mini Tripod and Sennheiser Smartphone Clamp

The included Manfrotto PIXI mini tripod is compact, stable, and ideal for tabletop setups or handheld vlogging. Its push-button ball head allows for quick angle adjustments, and its collapsible legs make it easy to pack and carry. With a 2.2-pound weight capacity, it's fully capable of supporting your smartphone and mic setup.

The Sennheiser smartphone clamp is crafted from solid aluminum with soft rubber grips for a secure hold. It includes:

• A cold shoe mount for attaching microphones or wireless receivers

• Four 1/4"-20 threads for additional accessories

• A 180° locking dial for portrait or landscape orientation

• 1/4"-20 and 3/8" mounting points, as well as Arca Swiss compatibility

Whether you’re filming vertically for social content or horizontally for YouTube, this clamp keeps your phone locked in place and ready to shoot.

Ideal for Vlogging, Mobile Journalism, and On-the-Go Filmmaking

With its powerful directional mic, flexible mounting options, and universal connectivity, the Sennheiser MKE 400 Mobile Kit is a go-to solution for creators who demand quality audio and video from a smartphone or compact camera rig. It's a practical, portable toolkit that adapts to your workflow, whether you're shooting interviews, creating content on the move, or building a mobile video setup for professional work.
