Røde has announced Røde Capture for Android, extending its mobile content creation app to Android users and bringing its integrated audio control and video recording capabilities to a broader community of creators.
Designed specifically for mobile content production, Røde Capture combines advanced audio controls, intuitive video recording tools and direct integration with compatible Røde microphones in a single application. With its arrival on Android, the app is now available across both major mobile platforms, supporting creators working in social media, vlogging, podcasting, mobile journalism and filmmaking.
Røde Capture is designed to simplify mobile production by bringing microphone configuration and video recording controls together within one interface. Rather than switching between applications or navigating individual device settings, users can manage supported Røde microphone features directly through the app, helping streamline the recording process and reduce the complexity of mobile content creation.
Depending on the connected microphone, available audio controls include gain adjustment, Gain Assist, Noise Reduction, split or merged recording modes, and high-pass filtering. The app supports a broad selection of Røde microphones, including products across its Wireless range, compact on-camera microphones and USB desktop microphones.
A key feature for Android users is Direct Connect, which enables compatible Røde wireless transmitters to connect directly to a smartphone without requiring a separate receiver. Supported devices include the Wireless Micro, Wireless GO Gen 3 and Wireless Pro. By removing the need for an additional receiver, Direct Connect reduces the number of devices required for recording and provides a more streamlined setup for creators working on location.
This capability is particularly relevant to spontaneous and mobile-first production scenarios, including street interviews, travel content, news reporting and social media video. With fewer components to manage, creators can establish a recording setup more quickly and focus on capturing content wherever their work takes them.
Beyond audio, Røde Capture provides a range of video recording controls, allowing users to configure aspect ratio, resolution and frame rate to suit their production requirements. Additional functionality includes automatic flash settings and a countdown timer, supporting hands-free recording and greater flexibility when filming independently.
The combination of microphone control, mobile video recording and integration with Røde’s video production consoles offers Røde Capture as a tool for creators working across different production environments. From individuals recording content directly on their smartphones to production teams incorporating mobile devices into larger video workflows, the app provides a consistent interface for managing key elements of the recording process.
Røde Capture for Android is available as a free download through the Google Play Store, and is also available for iPhone.
