RØDE has introduced a new on-camera receiver for its Wireless Micro system. The accessory is now available as a free add-on for many users, depending on region and purchase method.
RØDE has expanded its Wireless Micro system with a new Camera Receiver – a compact dual-channel module designed for use with mirrorless and DSLR-style cameras. While the Wireless Micro was initially geared toward smartphone users, this release extends the system’s compatibility with conventional camera workflows.
Free of charge for existing and new customers
The receiver is not available for separate purchase. Instead, it’s being offered free of charge under specific conditions:
- Existing Wireless Micro users can receive one by registering their product at account.rode.com and covering a flat-rate shipping fee.
- New customers can add the Camera Receiver to their Wireless Micro purchase for $0 when buying directly from rode.com. (This is not available in the US.)
What the Wireless Micro Camera Receiver adds
The new Camera Receiver pairs with up to two Wireless Micro transmitters and features universal compatibility with cameras via its analog output. It includes gain control for level adjustment and supports plug-in power detection, which can help preserve battery life in connected transmitters. Its compact, lightweight design allows it to mount easily to a camera body or rig.
According to RØDE, the unit is designed and manufactured at its Sydney-based facilities, alongside the rest of the Wireless Micro product line.
Pricing and availability
The Wireless Micro system includes USB-C or Lightning transmitters (available in black or white), a compact charging case offering up to 21 hours of total runtime, and Bluetooth® support for iOS via the RØDE Capture app. The system currently retails for $149 USD.
RØDE says the Wireless Micro Camera Receiver is intended to give users greater flexibility when switching between mobile and camera setups. I’m guessing they also feel the heat from the Chinese competitors which already offer camera receivers as part of their packages for a similar price. The Wireless Micro Camera Receiver unit begins shipping globally on July 15, 2025. No standalone pricing or availability outside the current promotional structure has been announced at this time.
