Wavo Mobile - Micro Shotgun Microphone for Phones
Tired of bad, crackly audio with the sound of a 747 every time you go outside? Do yourself a favor and upgrade your audio quality with the Wavo Mobile. This compact Microphone features an all-metal body for durability and a Hytrel Single Point Lyre to isolate unwanted vibrations. The base allows for attachment via locking cold shoe mount or 1⁄4 20-for added security. When venturing outside you can easily attach the included windshield to help tune out the pesky gusts so that your audience can hear your crispy vocals no matter the location.
This lightweight, on-camera (or phone) microphone improves sound quality at far distances without weighing down your rig. Connectors for both mobile and camera devices are provided, no batteries needed - making it the perfect microphone for mobile filmmakers, run-and-gun shooters, and mobile journalists.

JOBY Wavo Mobile Micro Shotgun Microphone — Phone Audio That Sounds Professional
The gist: A no-battery cardioid shotgun mic that plugs into any smartphone or camera and cuts ambient noise directionally — a sub-$50 way to sound credible on video calls, recorded interviews, and content shoots.
- Directional cardioid capsule: 35Hz–18kHz pickup focused at the front; rejects keyboard noise, HVAC hum, and open-plan ambient noise from the sides and rear.
- Rycote Hytrel Lyre isolator: Decouples the capsule from desk vibrations and handling noise — important for desk-mounted recordings where keyboard and mouse clicks travel through surfaces.
- Dual-cable kit (TRS + TRRS): Covers camera (TRS) and smartphone (TRRS) inputs in the box; no extra adapters for a hybrid workflow that spans phone and mirrorless camera.
- Bus-powered, compact: Draws power from your phone or camera; no charging cycle, no batteries to manage before a meeting or recording session.
CVP and Hunt’s Photo & Video both confirm the Wavo Mobile includes a Rycote Lyre mount and included windscreen, positioning it as a self-contained mobile audio solution for creators.
Best for: Remote workers and career content creators who record video interviews, career advice content, or online course material on a smartphone or compact camera. Skip it if: you are outside the US — this SKU is sold to US customers only. Runs around $42 — check the current price before buying.
