Samson Airline Micro Camera Lavalier Wireless System

No longer available at zZounds
This camera and lavalier wireless system from Samson is fully rechargeable with lithium-ion batteries for both the transmitter and the receiver.

The AirLine Micro Wireless Camera System utilizes lithium-ion battery technology and high-quality audio and RF components, representing a breakthrough that is ideal for all video camera applications requiring outstanding audio, including DSLR video.

To eliminate continually changing batteries, Samson has designed this wireless system to be fully rechargeable with lithium-ion batteries for both the AL2 transmitter and AR2 receiver. The AR2DT double-docking station provides power to both units via a USB DC input, as well as a 3.5mm balanced audio output for the receiver.

AirLine Micro Camera Family

AirLine Micro employs the AL2 beltpack transmitter for complete freedom and mobility. The transmitter features an excellent sounding LM10 omnidirectional lavalier mic. In addition, the unit features single button operation for power, mute and volume, all of which can be easily monitored via a multi-color LED.

AL2 Transmitter

The AR2 receiver boasts meticulous engineering that provides professional sound reproduction for your videos. Like the AL2 transmitter, the AR2 houses a rechargeable battery that will offer up to 8 hours of operation. Due to its small profile, the unit is perfectly compatible with many of today's popular DSLR cameras, along with smaller camcorders. As such, the AR2 can also be inserted into the included hot shoe mount and attached to your camera for additional versatility.

Elevate Your DSLR or Camcorder

Video capable DSLR cameras continue to read more grow in popularity between professional and amateur filmmakers. While the video content produced by these cameras is of exceptional HD quality, their sound recording capabilities have not been as flexible. Filmmakers can seamlessly attach AirLine Micros AR2 receiver to the top of their DSLR cameras via the included hot shoe mount. The AL2 transmitter is just as easy to adhere to any film subject with its built-in belt clip. From there, it's lights, camera, action, AND sound!
In many cases, smaller camcorders are designed with their microphones mounted in some of the most awkward locations for capturing audio. Depending on the camera, these units also feature "wind reduction" functions that often muffle the level of audio straight across the board. But with AirLine Micro and its wireless lavalier mic, camcorder videos can be filmed with pro-level audio.

"Wireless Lapel Mike for Camcorder Use ... Samson is GREAT!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I am very pleased with my Samson Airline Micro Camera Wireless lapel microphone. I make videos of live honey bee operations. Since every "player" is wearing a protective veil, it is necessary to use a wireless mike and the lapel mike is small and is not in the way of what the beekeeper is doing. The sound of the Samson Micro Camera wireless is just great! Since this video is used for instruction of other beekeepers, it is very important that the voices come across distinctly. I believe that the Samson is the best mike I have ever used for this application. Perhaps the only "music" coming across is the sound of the bees. Oh well, it provices nice background "music"!
