Rode MicDrop – Quick and Easy Lav Mic Cable Threading Tool

The Rode MicDrop is a simple yet essential tool for streamlining your lavalier microphone setup. It’s designed to help you thread a lav mic cable through clothing quickly and effortlessly. Made from stainless steel, the MicDrop adds just enough weight to pull the cable down through a shirt, jacket, or costume—saving time during busy shoots or live productions. This tool is especially useful for interviews, theater, and film sets where speed and discretion matter.

Compact and durable, the MicDrop works with most 3.5mm lavalier connectors, including the Rode Lavalier II and smartLav+. Its smooth finish allows it to glide through fabric without snagging, ensuring a clean, professional mic placement every time. To use, simply plug the mic’s 3.5mm jack into the MicDrop, drop it down the inside of the clothing, and pull it through from the bottom. It’s a time-saving solution that improves workflow for audio techs, sound mixers, and content creators. With the Rode MicDrop, lavalier mic setups are faster, cleaner, and more professional—no more tangled cables or awkward mic placements.
