BOYA BY-VG350 Smartphone Video Kit is available at Mascom International for KSh 11,000, brand new and sealed, with a BY-MM1+ condenser microphone, an LED light, a phone clamp and a mini tripod. The kit also includes a ball head, an extension tube that stretches from 160mm to 250mm and a clamp with cold shoe mounts for the light and microphone. The BY-MM1+ uses a super-cardioid pattern, so it favours your voice over the noise around you. You can build and test the BOYA BY-VG350 Smartphone Video Kit with your own phone at our store in the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for content creators, small business owners, journalists, church media teams and university students, the BOYA BY-VG350 Smartphone Video Kit handles everyday phone video. A phone held at arm's length shakes, records room echo and leaves faces dark in indoor light. Mounted in this kit, the phone sits steady on the tripod, the microphone points at you and the light lifts shadows from your face. Sellers filming product videos for Instagram and TikTok, students at Kenyatta University and JKUAT recording assignments, and pastors streaming services all get cleaner results. The BOYA BY-VG350 Smartphone Video Kit packs small enough for a backpack.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell a phone tripod on its own and leave you to find a microphone and light separately, Mascom International stocks the complete BOYA BY-VG350 Smartphone Video Kit in one box. Customers across Nairobi tell us the microphone makes the biggest difference, since viewers forgive shaky video before they forgive bad sound. At Mascom International, we're seeing more online shops in Kilimani and Westlands use this kit to film products for WhatsApp catalogues. Visit the store to try the BOYA BY-VG350 Smartphone Video Kit with your phone, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery across Kenya.
Common Questions About the BOYA BY-VG350 Smartphone Video Kit
What is the BOYA BY-VG350 Smartphone Video Kit price in Kenya?
The BOYA BY-VG350 Smartphone Video Kit costs KSh 11,000 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the BY-MM1+ microphone, LED light, phone clamp, ball head, extension tube, mini tripod and cold shoe clamp, plus a 6-month warranty. Buying a separate tripod, microphone and light usually means three trips and three receipts. You can pay on arrival anywhere in Kenya, or use M-Pesa or a card at our Kimathi Street store.
Does the BOYA BY-VG350 Smartphone Video Kit work with iPhone and Samsung phones that have no headphone jack?
The BOYA BY-VG350 Smartphone Video Kit clamp holds most smartphones, but the BY-MM1+ microphone plugs in through a 3.5mm TRRS plug. Phones with a 3.5mm jack, common on Tecno, Infinix and Itel models, connect directly. iPhones and most recent Samsung Galaxy phones lack the jack, so you need a USB-C or Lightning adapter that supports microphone input. Not every cheap adapter passes microphone audio, so test yours at Mascom International before you record anything important.
How good is the BY-MM1+ microphone in the BOYA BY-VG350 Smartphone Video Kit?
The BY-MM1+ in the BOYA BY-VG350 Smartphone Video Kit is an electret condenser microphone with a super-cardioid pickup pattern. Super-cardioid means it hears mostly what sits in front of it, so your voice comes through clearer than fans, traffic and people talking beside you. BOYA lists a 20Hz to 18kHz frequency response, which covers the full range of human speech. It records far closer to your mouth than the phone's own microphone, which sits at the bottom edge facing away.
How does the BOYA BY-VG350 Smartphone Video Kit compare with using the phone alone?
Filming with the phone alone gives you shaky footage, distant sound picked up from every direction and dim faces indoors. The BOYA BY-VG350 Smartphone Video Kit fixes all three with a tripod, a directional microphone and an LED light in one set. A wireless lavalier set gives cleaner sound when you walk around, but it adds no light or support. Pick the BOYA BY-VG350 Smartphone Video Kit for sit-down videos, tutorials and product demos. Pick a wireless clip-on set for walking vlogs and interviews.
Can I use the BOYA BY-VG350 Smartphone Video Kit outdoors in Kenyan wind, dust and sun?
The BOYA BY-VG350 Smartphone Video Kit works outdoors, but wind is the main enemy of any small microphone. On breezy days in Mombasa or on a Nairobi rooftop, stand with your back to the wind or film in a sheltered spot. A fur windscreen for the microphone helps and is sold separately at Mascom International. Pack the kit in a bag on dusty roads, and avoid leaving your phone on the tripod in direct sun, since phones overheat and stop recording.
Can I hear my audio while recording with the BOYA BY-VG350 Smartphone Video Kit?
The BY-MM1+ microphone in the BOYA BY-VG350 Smartphone Video Kit has a 3.5mm TRS headphone output, so you can plug in wired earphones and listen while you record. Monitoring lets you catch a loose cable, wind noise or a low level before you waste a full take. This matters for live streams on Safaricom data, where there is no second chance. Any wired earphones with a 3.5mm plug work, and our team can recommend a pair at the store.
How do I set up the BOYA BY-VG350 Smartphone Video Kit?
The BOYA BY-VG350 Smartphone Video Kit builds up in a few minutes with no tools. Open the mini tripod on a table, screw on the extension tube if you need more height, then add the ball head and phone clamp. Fit the cold shoe clamp, then slide the BY-MM1+ microphone and LED light into the mounts. Plug the microphone into your phone, open the camera app and record a short test. Our staff will walk you through the setup when you collect it.
Who should buy the BOYA BY-VG350 Smartphone Video Kit and who should skip it?
The BOYA BY-VG350 Smartphone Video Kit suits beginners and small businesses who film with a phone and want better sound, light and stability without buying parts separately. TikTok creators, online sellers, teachers, pastors and students get the most from it. Skip it if you already film on a mirrorless camera with an XLR shotgun microphone, or record podcasts at a desk. Camera crews are better served by the BOYA BY-PB25 Boom Pole, and desk podcasters by the BOYA BY-BA30 Boom Arm.
Technical Specifications
Microphone and Core Function
- BY-MM1+ electret condenser microphone, a small capsule type that captures clear speech without needing a separate power supply.
- Super-cardioid pickup pattern focuses on sound in front of the microphone, cutting noise from the sides and behind you.
- Frequency response of 20Hz to 18kHz covers the full range of voices, so speech sounds natural instead of thin.
- Sensitivity of -36dB, plus or minus 3dB, gives a healthy recording level from normal talking distance on most phones.
- Signal-to-noise ratio of 78dB keeps background hiss low, which matters in quiet rooms and voice-over recordings.
- Compact body about 22mm across and 81mm long sits on the rig without blocking the phone screen or camera.
- LED light fits a cold shoe mount and lifts shadows from faces, helping phone cameras in dim rooms and evening shoots.
Compatibility and Connections
- Phone clamp holds most smartphones, from compact models to large-screen phones, in portrait or landscape orientation.
- 3.5mm TRRS output plugs straight into phones with a headphone jack, including many Tecno, Infinix and Itel models.
- Phones without a jack, such as iPhones and recent Samsung Galaxy models, need a USB-C or Lightning adapter with microphone support.
- 3.5mm TRS headphone output on the microphone lets you listen through wired earphones while you record or stream live.
- Works with the phone's own camera app and with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook Live and WhatsApp video.
- Cold shoe mounts accept other accessories with a standard shoe, so you can swap in a different light or microphone later.
- Ball head tilts and turns the phone freely, so you can frame selfies, overhead product shots or angled interviews.
Build and Mounting
- Mini tripod stands on a desk, counter or shelf, giving steady footage for tutorials, product videos and interviews.
- Lift the whole rig by the tripod for short handheld shots, then set it back down without re-framing.
- Extension tube adjusts from 160mm to 250mm, raising the phone closer to eye level on a table setup.
- Clamp with cold shoe mounts holds the microphone and LED light beside the phone without any tape or cable ties.
- Every part screws together by hand, so you can assemble and break down the kit quickly between shoots.
- Small enough to pack in a laptop bag or backpack, which suits creators who film on location or commute daily.
- Colour is mainly black; confirm the exact finish in stock with Mascom International on WhatsApp before you order.
Inclusions and Setup
- BY-MM1+ condenser microphone with 3.5mm TRRS output and a 3.5mm TRS headphone monitoring socket.
- LED light that mounts on the cold shoe for brighter faces indoors, in offices and during evening recordings.
- Smartphone clamp and ball head that hold your phone securely and let you adjust the angle in any direction.
- Extension tube of 160mm to 250mm for extra height when filming on a table or counter.
- Mini tripod plus a clamp with cold shoe mounts that link the light and microphone to the rig.
- Brand new and sealed in BOYA retail packaging, with every part present and unused when you open the box.
