BOYA Smartphone Video Kit | BY-VG350 | Shotgun Microphone | LED Light | Mini Tripod | 3.5mm TRS/TRRS
A complete mobile content rig for Kenya's vloggers, mobile journalists, and small-business video makers
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
BOYA Smartphone Video Kit (BY-VG350) is a full audio, lighting, and stabilization bundle priced at KSh 11,500 and in stock now at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. The kit pairs the BY-MM1+ shotgun condenser microphone with a dimmable LED light, a Rycote Lyre shock mount, a phone clamp, a ball head, a mini tripod, an extension tube that raises height from 160mm to 250mm, a cold shoe accessory clamp, a furry windscreen, plus 3.5mm TRS and TRRS output cables. Total kit weight sits at 508 grams. Mascom International ships theBOYA Smartphone Video Kit countrywide with payment on arrival.
The BOYA Smartphone Video Kit suits Kenyan YouTubers, TikTok creators, podcasters, real estate agents shooting property walk-throughs in Karen and Runda, university students at USIU and Strathmore producing class projects, NGO field staff documenting work in Turkana and Marsabit, mobile journalists filing reports across Nairobi, and pastors recording sermons for Sunday livestreams. Phone microphones pick up traffic noise from Mombasa Road, echo from tiled rooms, and wind from the rooftop interview spots most creators rely on. The BY-MM1+ shotgun mic in this kit cuts that interference using a super-cardioid pickup pattern that focuses on the speaker and rejects sound from the sides and rear.
Mascom International stocks the BOYA Smartphone Video Kit BY-VG350 because Kenya's content creators consistently report the same problem when starting out: their phone records clear video but unusable audio. At Mascom International, we're seeing first-time YouTubers, gospel artists, and Instagram product reviewers walk in asking for a single bundle that fixes audio, lighting, and stability without forcing them to assemble parts from four different brands. The BOYA Smartphone Video Kit answers that need at one fixed price. Visit our shop at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street to test the kit with your own phone, hear the microphone difference through monitor headphones, and confirm cable compatibility before paying.
What is in the BOYA Smartphone Video Kit BY-VG350 box?
The kit ships with nine items packed for transport. The BY-MM1+ super-cardioid shotgun condenser microphone handles voice capture. The Rycote Lyre shock mount cradles the microphone in elastic suspension to block hand-held vibration and tripod thump. The universal smartphone clamp grips phones from roughly 55mm to 90mm wide, covering the iPhone 17 Pro Max, Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, and most Tecno, Infinix, and Xiaomi devices sold in Kenya. The dimmable LED panel mounts on a cold shoe and runs on a built-in rechargeable battery. The aluminium mini tripod folds flat for bag transport and opens to a stable triangle on desks, tables, and uneven outdoor ground. The ball head allows free tilt and swivel between landscape and portrait orientation. The extension tube raises the rig from 160mm to 250mm. The accessory clamp with cold shoe mount adds a second mounting point. The furry windscreen slides over the microphone capsule for outdoor shoots. Two cables ship in the box: a 3.5mm TRS-to-TRRS cable for smartphones with a headphone jack, and a 3.5mm TRS-to-TRS cable for cameras, camcorders, and audio recorders. A USB charging cable supplies power to the LED light.
Who should buy the BOYA Smartphone Video Kit?
This kit is built for first-time and intermediate mobile creators who shoot mostly with a phone and need audio, light, and stability in one purchase under KSh 12,000. YouTubers producing review content, sit-down interviews, cooking demos, or product walk-arounds. TikTok and Instagram Reels creators recording dance, comedy, and tutorial clips. Podcasters who film their conversations for video upload to Spotify and YouTube. Mobile journalists covering county events, court hearings at Milimani Law Courts, and parliamentary press briefings on Harambee Avenue. Real estate agents recording property walk-throughs in Kileleshwa, Lavington, and Westlands. Field NGO communications staff producing donor reports from program sites in Turkana, Garissa, and Tana River. University students at the University of Nairobi, Kenyatta University, JKUAT, and Daystar shooting class assignments. Small-business owners filming product photos and videos for their Jumia, Jiji, and Instagram listings. Church media teams recording weekly sermons for Sunday upload.
How does the BY-MM1+ shotgun microphone improve smartphone audio?
The BY-MM1+ replaces your phone's tiny built-in microphone with a directional condenser capsule that focuses on the speaker and rejects surrounding noise. Phone microphones pick up sound from every direction. The BY-MM1+ super-cardioid polar pattern narrows that pickup to a tight forward zone, so traffic on Tom Mboya Street, generator hum at outdoor venues, and wind across Diani beach all drop substantially below voice level. The microphone runs without batteries because it draws plug-in power from your phone or camera through the 3.5mm TRRS cable, so there is no battery status to monitor mid-shoot. Frequency response covers 20Hz to 18kHz, sensitivity sits at 36dB±3dB, and signal-to-noise ratio reaches 78dB SPL. The metal body resists drops onto desks during run-and-gun shooting, and the included Rycote Lyre shock mount filters out handling noise and tripod tap-through. Capsule dimensions measure 22mm by 81mm.
How do I connect the BOYA Smartphone Video Kit to my iPhone or Samsung phone?
This kit requires a 3.5mm headphone jack on your phone, or a 3.5mm-to-USB-C or 3.5mm-to-Lightning adapter for phones without one. Recent iPhones (iPhone 7 and newer) need an Apple Lightning-to-3.5mm or USB-C-to-3.5mm adapter. Samsung Galaxy S, Note, A, and Z series phones from 2020 onward need a USB-C-to-3.5mm adapter. Tecno, Infinix, and Itel phones often retain the 3.5mm jack and connect directly with the included TRRS cable. Once connected, your phone treats the BY-MM1+ as an external microphone for the camera app, voice memo apps, Zoom, Google Meet, and most video recording applications. Mascom International stocks compatible Lightning and USB-C audio adapters separately. Ask our team when collecting the kit and we will confirm the right adapter for your specific phone model before you pay.
What does the LED light add to the BOYA Smartphone Video Kit?
The LED panel handles low-light situations where phone cameras struggle: indoor interviews after sunset, evening podcast sessions, hospital corridor reporting, and home-office talking-head videos. Dimmable brightness lets you match ambient lighting without washing out skin tones. The light mounts on the cold shoe on top of the smartphone clamp, putting illumination directly on the speaker's face from the same angle as the camera. The rechargeable battery charges through the included USB cable from any phone charger, power bank, or laptop USB port. For Kenyan creators dealing with frequent power interruptions, the battery operation means you keep filming through outages without needing mains power for lighting. The light also helps when shooting outdoors in shade, where direct sunlight at Diani, Watamu, and Lake Naivasha creates harsh shadows that the LED fills in.
How tall does the kit stand once assembled?
The mini tripod opens to roughly 160mm tall. With the extension tube fully extended, the rig reaches 250mm. That puts a phone at comfortable seated eye level for desk-based content like podcasts, product reviews, and tutorial recordings. For standing or face-level shots, place the tripod on a tabletop, kitchen counter, or stack of books. The ball head pivots through tilt and swivel motion, and the smartphone clamp rotates between landscape orientation for YouTube long-form video and portrait orientation for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. The aluminium tripod legs spread into two locked positions for stability on uneven ground at outdoor locations.
Can I use the BOYA Smartphone Video Kit with a regular camera or DSLR?
Yes. The included 3.5mm TRS-to-TRS cable connects the BY-MM1+ microphone to any DSLR, mirrorless camera, camcorder, or portable audio recorder with a 3.5mm microphone input. Canon, Nikon, Sony Alpha, Fujifilm, and Panasonic mirrorless cameras all accept the microphone through their external mic port. The smartphone clamp can be removed from the ball head, and the camera mounts directly onto the 1/4-inch screw thread on top. The same shock mount, windscreen, tripod, extension tube, and LED light all carry over. This dual-use means creators upgrading from phone-only to a hybrid phone-and-camera setup keep using the same kit.
Why choose the BOYA Smartphone Video Kit over buying a separate microphone?
Separate purchases of a quality phone microphone, mini tripod, smartphone clamp, ball head, LED light, shock mount, windscreen, and TRS/TRRS cables typically run KSh 16,000 to KSh 22,000 across multiple Nairobi camera shops. The BOYA Smartphone Video Kit BY-VG350 bundles all those components at KSh 11,500. Beyond price, the components are designed to fit together: the cold shoe sizes match, the cable plugs match the microphone output, the clamp grips phones the LED can light, and the tripod supports the full assembled weight without tipping. Buyers who assemble their own kit from individual purchases often discover mismatched mounting threads, incompatible cables, or tripods that cannot hold a fully loaded rig. The BY-VG350 ships pre-matched.
How does the kit handle outdoor shooting conditions in Kenya?
The furry windscreen slides over the microphone capsule and reduces wind noise across coastal areas like Mombasa, Watamu, and Lamu, in the open spaces of Maasai Mara during safari content, and on rooftop interview locations across Nairobi where building updrafts pick up. The metal microphone body and aluminium tripod handle the dust kicked up on rural roads and field-shoot conditions. Battery operation on the LED light removes any dependency on outdoor power outlets. The whole kit weighs 508 grams assembled, fitting into a small backpack pocket alongside a phone and notebook for mobile journalism work, real estate site visits, and event coverage. The kit is not weather-sealed, so shooting in active rain or snowfall is not advised.
What is the difference between the BY-VG350 and other BOYA smartphone kits?
The BY-VG350 is the more complete kit in BOYA's smartphone vlogger range. The BY-VG330 is the entry version: BY-MM1 microphone, smartphone clamp, ball head, extension tube, mini tripod, and cold shoe clamp, but no LED light, no shock mount, and no windscreen. The BY-VG350 adds the upgraded BY-MM1+ microphone (higher sensitivity, lower self-noise than the BY-MM1), the Rycote Lyre shock mount, the LED light with rechargeable battery, the furry windscreen, and the second TRS cable for camera connection. The price difference between the two kits at Mascom International reflects the added LED light, upgraded microphone, and full outdoor accessory package. For creators planning to shoot mostly indoors with controlled lighting and quiet rooms, the BY-VG330 covers the basics. For creators shooting both indoors and outdoors, recording in mixed lighting, and producing podcast-style and field content, the BY-VG350 is the working choice.
How does the kit fit into a real workflow?
Picture a Nairobi-based food reviewer recording a restaurant visit. Phone goes into the smartphone clamp, BY-MM1+ microphone clips into the cold shoe with the windscreen attached for table-level conversations, LED light mounts on the secondary cold shoe and dims to match the restaurant lighting, mini tripod sits on the table or in handheld mode for walking shots. Audio runs through the TRRS cable into the phone, capturing voice clearly while the kitchen noise stays in the background where it belongs. After shooting, the LED charges from a USB power bank during the matatu ride home. By the next morning the same kit handles a podcast interview at a desk, with the extension tube raised to face level and the microphone pointing at the guest. This is what the BY-VG350 was built for: same kit, same components, multiple shooting situations, no extra gear required.
What audio quality should I expect compared to professional setups?
The BY-MM1+ produces broadcast-acceptable audio for online video, social media content, and small-scale podcast production. It will not match KSh 80,000 broadcast microphones, studio condensers paired with audio interfaces, or wireless lavalier systems used in television production. What it does deliver is a clear, focused voice signal with low background noise, suitable for monetized YouTube channels, TikTok content with voiceover, branded business content, classroom instruction recordings, and church media production. Sensitivity at 36dB±3dB and 78dB signal-to-noise ratio sit comfortably above the audio quality threshold platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Spotify expect for monetization. Audio professionals upgrading later can keep the tripod, clamp, ball head, LED light, and cables, replacing only the microphone with a higher-end unit.
