PELI 1010 MICRO CASE
peliproducts.co.uk
£19.95 / $13.14

Peli is well known for its large cases
that are often used to store and
protect camera gear on flights
and in harsh environments, but
the company also makes a range
of small cases that are ideal for
many of the photography and
videography essentials.
The 1010 Micro Case, for example,
weighs just 180g and has external
dimensions of 138x103x54mm.
Its internal dimensions are
109x69x41mm, and it comes with a
thin rubber liner in the base, which
gives stored items extra protection.
It’s also compatible with an optional
pick and pluck foam insert.
The case is small enough to slip
into your bag, and its waterproof,
dustproof and crushproof shell
is complete with an automatic
pressure release valve, so gives
serious protection. Plus, the clear
lid lets you see what’s stored within.
We found it useful for housing a
RØDE Wireless GO, Lavalier GO and
associated cables.

RØDE LAVALIER GO

£59 / $79

Although it’s designed to pair with the RØDE Wireless GO microphone
system reviewed in issue 216, the RØDE Lavalier GO is actually
compatible with most cameras and recording devices, with a 3.5mm
TRS mic input.
It’s a professional-grade lavalier mic with an omnidirectional
condenser capsule and a Kevlar-reinforced cable. It comes supplied with
a foam pop shield, a metal clip and a soft bag for storage.
The RØDE Lavalier GO delivers great sound when used with the
Wireless GO or when connected directly to a camera.
However, the pop shield doesn’t provide much
protection from wind, and it’s advisable to
purchase a windshield, such as the RØDE
Minifur-Lav, if you plan to shoot outdoors
regularly. That also lets you conceal the
mic under clothing if you want it to be
really discrete.
