SmallRig S70 Wireless Microphone
If you’ve ever scrolled through a "What’s in my bag?" video or built out a camera rig, you’ve likely run into SmallRig. They have carved out a massive niche for themselves making the metal bits; the cages, handles, and accessories that help creators customize their setups. But lately, SmallRig has been expanding into almost every corner of the gear world, from COB lights to V-mount batteries, we even reviewed few of them:
Their latest release is a move into audio: the SmallRig S70 Wireless Microphone, which just hit the market.

The "Grammy" Factor
At first glance, the S70 looks like another compact wireless mic system in a market already crowded with options. However, SmallRig took a slightly different path by focusing on the "sound signature." They collaborated with 4-time Grammy-winning sound engineer Luca Bignardi to tune the device.
Instead of just providing a raw signal, the system comes with 9 professional EQ presets designed for specific scenarios, think "Singing," "Male/Female Vocals," or "Environment." It’s a practical way to bring a bit of professional "ear" calibration to an affordable consumer product.

Specs at a Glance
For those who want to see the numbers, here is the breakdown of what’s under the hood:
- Audio Quality: 48kHz / 24-bit high-fidelity sampling.
- Tuning: 9 built-in EQ presets calibrated by Luca Bignardi.
- Design: Ultra-slim 8.8mm mic head; logo-free "stealth" body (no big branding on your collar).
- Range: Stable transmission up to 300 meters (984 ft) in line-of-sight.
- Battery Life: 8 hours per charge, with a total of 40 hours using the charging case.
- Recording Modes: Supports Mono, Stereo, and a -6dB Safety Track to prevent clipping.
- Noise Reduction: 3-level adjustable noise cancellation.
- Control: Physical buttons on the units plus full control via the SmallGoGo app.
- Price: $89.99 USD.
Why It’s Actually Interesting
The standout feature for many won't be the specs, but the discretion. Most wireless transmitters act like tiny billboards for the company that made them. The S70 is almost entirely logo-free on the transmitter units. It’s small, matte, and designed to disappear into an outfit rather than shout for attention.
SmallRig is also offering optional colored covers so you can match the mic to different clothing, which is a nice touch for creators who care about the "look" of their frame as much as the sound.

Is It Worth the Swap?
At under $90, it’s positioned as a high-value entry point. It doesn't have 32-bit float or internal recording -features found on much pricier units- but for vlogging, interviews, or quick social content, it hits a solid balance of features and price. If you’re already using SmallRig cages or lights, this is a very easy addition to the kit.
