Geekscape Tech Review: iKlip A/V from IK Multimedia

If you aren’t familiar with IK Multimedia, they create some serious music technology products. This particular iKlip A/V is made for those who want to have their own video channel and take it on the road.

As you can see from the picture here, this newscaster (who may or may not be some YouTube celebrity) is being shot on video with a smartphone. The iKlip A/V allows the shooter to capture and monitor pro-quality audio with a high-quality mic preamp and it has a built-in wireless receiver.

You can see that the iKlip A/V has a place to mount your smartphone, thanks to the help of this spring-loaded clip thing that will hold it in place. You can then plug it in for an external microphone better than the smartphone’s mic.

You can see that you can plug in the external microphone, and if you need power, it has 2 AA batteries ready for you. By the way, there is also a headphone jack so you can listen to what is being recorded.

By the way, just having this iKlip Xpand Mini allows for some stability while you are filming. Granted, it doesn’t have any kind of steadicam action, but it is much better than just holding your smartphone and filming. By the way, you can mount the iKlip A/V on a tripod because it has that threaded hole at the bottom.

You should be able to purchase the iKlip A/V on the IK Multimedia site for about $179.99. Also, if you are one of those YouTube stars and use this, and want to share about it, that is what our comment section is for!

Also, do you want to hear more about the latest in technology? In early January, there is a big event in Las Vegas known as CES (Consumer Electronics Show). I want to go and report on it, but I need some help. I have a new GoFundMe site that will “Send Mark (me) to CES 2017”. Please click here and make a donation.
