2. Gold-Plated Connector: The gold-plated 3.5mm TRRS jack resists corrosion and prevents electrical noise interference or static during movement.

3. No Battery Needed for Smartphones: Eliminates the risk of dead batteries during phone recordings—battery power is only consumed when switched to “Camera” mode.
