Provided Features Of External Microphone For Video Cameras

By Tyrone Shum


One of the reasons exactly why Youtube videos have been very successful online is because they've had some awesome high quality audio and video. Now, audios can be one thing that can make or break your video. If you've got really quality audio, you've got to be able to capture some awesome audio and footage for your cameras plus for your audience and it will engage your customers plus maintain your viewers from watching too.

The first one is a wired solution and as you will see this is the issue with wires, it gets twisted. It just doesn't seem to stay but it's precisely the cheapest solution nowadays. I can pick this up from around about $20, $30 from a local store and it does the job. And this is what it's like to actually have a good top quality mic. If you have someone standing in front of the camera or if you're walking with the camera with a mic, you will get a lot sharper since it will seem even better. The good thing of getting a condenser mic is firstly, you find even better excellent sound so that it doesn't seem like you're in a bucket area and additionally you basically get it literally wired up to you.

The next solution is the wireless solution and it's the Sennheiser EW100G3. It has awesome high excellent sound. It's just essentially the lapel mic that you see over here, then there's just the simple wire that goes onto my battery clip there. So if I actually switch on my camera, I can actually show you what it seems like on the other end. And this is what we've been using to actually document and capture that truly good audio and quality seem. The Sennheiser itself is an fantastic wireless device. However it is almost about 2,000 times a lot more than the wired solution. Now in case you have an extra $600 to $700 to spend, it's good. It's a great piece of equipment to utilize and it also does the job very well. But if you can't manage that then obviously the wired solution definitely does the job. So have to take into account and think about which one would fit your case but in our situation, it allows us to be able to keep moving around freely, run even in a store and catch us from many distances. And the best part with the Sennheiser too is that I can literally be down at the end of the road and you'll still be able to grab my sound.

External microphones have its pros and cons. The Audio Technica condenser microphone requires you to stand close to the camera in order for it to work due to its wire. That's okay if you're in the studio or own limited budget. Though, as you've observed it's a bit of a mess if you weren't careful.

On the other hand, we regularly utilize the Sennheiser wireless microphone that enables you to keep moving around freely and capture high excellent seem especially when you're outdoors or need to move around without having a wire hanging out on your back side. Though keep in mind, when you purchase sound equipment, what you pay for is what you can get and this is true for these devices. V:2
