iPhone 7 headphone jack removal - external mic?!
Discussion
I do a lot of outdoor FB live filming with my phone, and have just ordered an iPhone 7 Plus.
Currently use an external Mic to improve the audio and reduce wind noise, but now there's no headphone jack my mic won't work unless plugged into the adapter in the lightning port. Now doing this filming eats the battery so I'm usually plugged into an external battery pack, which means the port will be in use!
I'm not sure if the 7+ battery will mean I won't need to charge as it's allegedly better, but does anyone know of some decent quality Bluetooth external mic that BT's direct to the phone? Most go to a dongle.
Thanks

I believe you can get an adapter for the lightning port that lets you put 2 things in.
Sounds kinky.But that would be useful! Taa.

Hoping a neater solution for mics will turn up as it's going to be pretty messy with the mic dongle going into the 3.5mm-Lightning adapter, into this adapter!
