ARRI Alexa Mini and XT are amazing cameras that deliver great image with modular capabilities. But they lack proper audio input.
MiniMic adds reference sound to ARRI Alexa Mini and Alexa XT cameras, it is self powered and the operation is extremely simplified: it powers up automatically when the minijack is plugged in. Due to its reduced weight MiniMic can be easily installed when the camera is already rigged on an EasyRig or a Movi. Alongside providing sound for the sync, MiniMic is ideal when playback is needed on set (e.g. music videos with choreography). The internal omnidirectional capsule allows MiniMic to be rigged wherever is convenient for the operator; the clapperboard's sound would always be captured.
WHAT IT IS FOR (or "reinventing the wheel"):
• Music videos: recording reference sound it’s ideal when watching playbacks • No timecode sync: whenever timecode nor slate are not available it will be possible to perform a waveform based sync with Premiere Auto Sync • B_Rolls: it's always useful delivering cutaways with sound
