RØDE has launched the Wireless Micro Camera Kit, adding universal camera support to its popular pocket-sized microphone range.

The system builds on the Wireless Micro, which reshaped smartphone content recording, and brings the same audio quality to mirrorless and DSLR setups. The new on-camera receiver carries both 3.5 mm TRS and USB-C outputs, plus a 1.1-inch AMOLED screen for quick visual control. Intelligent GainAssist automatically levels audio, while plug-in power detection turns the receiver on and off with the camera.

Each kit includes two transmitters with in-built microphones, a USB-C smartphone receiver, and a compact charging case offering up to 21 hours of operation. The transmitters clip or mount magnetically, and integrated windshields cut noise during outdoor shoots. For mobile workflows, iOS users can connect via Bluetooth through the RØDE Capture app.

“The Wireless Micro Camera Kit represents the next evolution of our mission to make premium audio accessible to all creators,” said RØDE CEO Damien Wilson. “By expanding the Wireless Micro’s capabilities to include universal camera connectivity, we’ve created a consolidated creative solution that’s not only more powerful, but incredibly flexible and simple to use. No matter how or where you create, the Camera Kit empowers you to tell your story with pristine sound, any way you decide to deliver it”.

The Camera Kit marks RØDE’s second-generation camera receiver, a follow-up to the original platform that helped define the company’s wireless range. The first generation remains available for existing users through an exchange program.

Priced at US$149, the new kit ships globally. It reinforces RØDE’s position in the creator hardware market, now crowded with brands chasing hybrid video makers. In the MENA region, where digital production and social media video continue to expand under national digitalization drives, such flexible tools are fast becoming part of the basic creative toolkit.

samsung's galaxy watch 9 and ultra 2 specs leak ahead of unpacked

Samsung’s next smartwatches have little left to hide. A new leak reported by Android Authority has surfaced most of the remaining details about the Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, just over a week before the company’s Galaxy Unpacked event on July 22.

The biggest change is an invisible one: Samsung is expected to drop its own Exynos W1000 chip in favor of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear Elite SW6100, a chipset unveiled only this year, according to the outlet.

Battery capacity looks like the other notable upgrade. Citing a report from Winfuture, Android Authority says the Watch Ultra 2 could reach 800mAh, well beyond the 590mAh cell in the current Watch Ultra. The 44mm Watch 9 reportedly gets a 445mAh cell — the same capacity as last year’s Watch 8 Classic — while the 40mm model stays at 325mAh.

The 40mm Watch 9 will reportedly feature a 438 x 438-pixel panel, with the 44mm Watch 9 and the Watch Ultra 2 sharing a larger 480 x 480-pixel screen. Samsung leaker Ice Universe has separately claimed the Ultra 2’s display could reach a peak brightness of 5,000 nits. RAM and storage vary by model, topping out at 2GB and 64GB.

The Ultra 2 keeps its titanium case and 100-meter water resistance; the standard Watch 9 remains aluminum, rated to 5 ATM. All models are said to include Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, and dual-band WiFi, with the usual LTE variants, and ship with One UI 9 Watch running on Wear OS 7.

A separate leak puts the Galaxy Watch 9 at €409 (about $468) for the 40mm Bluetooth model, rising to €489 (about $560) for the 44mm LTE version, with the Watch Ultra 2 LTE at €749 (about $857) — figures Android Authority said were partially corroborated by Winfuture. Confirmation arrives on stage on July 22.
