If you are wondering whether you can use the Wireless Micro Lightning kit on a USB-C device (or visa versa), the answer depends largely on the specific device you own and the way you intend to use the kit. For users who have a Wireless Micro Lightning kit and are considering using it with an iPhone that features a USB-C port, it is important to note that you cannot connect the mobile receiver directly to your device.
This is due to the difference in port types, as the Lightning receiver is not physically compatible with USB-C ports.
The good news...
There are alternative ways to connect Wireless Micro transmitters to your iPhone. The easiest is using the Direct Connect feature on the RØDE Capture app, which lets you connect transmitters directly to your USB-C iPhone without a receiver or extra adapters.
- For setup instructions, see our article: Setting Up Direct Connect with the Wireless Micro.
You can also use the Wireless Micro Camera Receiver as a bridge between your transmitters and your iPhone, even with a USB-C port. This offers more flexibility for different devices.
