Discreet and Secure Mounting for Lavalier Microphones
The Rode Lav-Clip Microphone Mounting Clip (3-Pack) in Black is an ergonomic, low-profile accessory designed to securely attach Rode Lavalier, Lavalier GO, and smartLav+ microphones to clothing for content creators, broadcasters, and performers across Australia. These alligator-style spring clips provide reliable mounting for professional audio recording in interviews, presentations, vlogs, and film productions. Supplied in a pack of three, they offer spares for replacements or multiple setups.
Reliable and Discreet Performance
Each Lav-Clip is designed to securely fasten Rode’s Lavalier, Lavalier GO, and smartLav+ microphones to clothing, such as lapels, collars, or shirts, ensuring stable microphone placement for consistent audio capture. The clips are compatible with other small lavalier microphones like the Sanken COS-11D and Sennheiser MKE 2, though larger capsules (e.g., Shure MX185) may not fit securely. The low-profile design minimizes visual distraction, making it ideal for on-camera applications. Integrated cable management loops keep microphone cables tidy, reducing clutter and preventing cable movement during recording. Users praise the clips for their secure hold and ease of use, with reviews noting their durability for repeated use in professional settings. Some users report the plastic construction may feel less robust, recommending careful handling to avoid breakage.
Durable and Practical Design
Crafted in Rode’s Sydney, Australia facilities, the Lav-Clip is made from lightweight plastic, weighing just 3 g each, with dimensions of 24 mm x 11 mm x 27 mm. The alligator-style spring mechanism ensures a firm grip on various fabrics without causing damage. The pack of three provides spares for lost or damaged clips, a common need in fast-paced production environments. Users appreciate the cost-effectiveness (~$20–$30 USD for three) but note that the clips’ small size requires careful storage to avoid misplacement. The clips are backed by Rode’s quality assurance, with a 90-day warranty from some retailers like B&H Photo, though warranty details may vary (verify with the seller). For enhanced durability, some suggest pairing with a Rode invisiLav for concealed mounting under clothing.
