SmallRig unveiled the S70 mic kit at CES 2026, marking a significant expansion beyond its popular camera cages. Priced at $90, the dual-microphone system targets creators seeking professional audio without DJI Mic-level prices. The kit includes two receivers and two transmitters, offering versatility for both camera and mobile setups.

The package is designed for practical use, featuring a camera receiver with 3.5mm output and a compact USB-C receiver for phones. An included Apple Lightning adapter is currently free. Key features include a safety track mode to prevent audio clipping and interchangeable colored covers to blend microphones with clothing, addressing a common aesthetic concern for video creators.

Audio quality is tuned by a four-time Grammy Award-winning engineer, with 9 EQ presets and three levels of noise reduction. The microphones offer 8 hours of runtime, extendable to 40 hours with the charging case. This move positions SmallRig as a direct competitor in the entry-level creator audio market, traditionally dominated by brands like DJI.
