Ulanzi A100 Wireless Microphone with Real-time Monitoring

For more demanding content creators, there’s the Ulanzi A100 wireless microphone for 560 CZK, an improved version of the popular J12 model. This microphone offers more advanced features, including real-time audio monitoring and higher quality construction.

Ulanzi is a well-known brand in mobile photography and video accessories, which is reflected in the quality of this microphone. Users in reviews particularly appreciate its good construction, complete accessories, and practicality. One of them notes: “Excellent brand, I really like it.”

It’s important to note that this microphone has a USB-C connection, so for older iPhones with a Lightning port, you’ll need an adapter. As one user noted: “Phenomenal quality, Ulanzi is top-notch and better than many American brands. Importantly, iPhones without a C port will not work. If you think like me and buy an adapter, it won’t work. Look for a Lightning adapter or buy a specific adapter from Ulanzi.”
