So I was hunting for what microphone I should use for an "in the field" interview and of COURSE I happened upon one from you, Sean! Every time I have a questions about my show, there you are with the answer. Thank you for the plethora of valuable content!!!

You might be the most helpful human on KZread. I’m updating all my sound equipment and this video (and a few other tech vids of yours) saved me hours and hours of research. Just bought the reporter mic/sennheiser kit which was exactly what I wanted, but didn’t know how to go about finding it. THANK YOU

100k!!! Congratulations! You earned it. Crazy growth.

sir I must say, you are helping me and inspiring me to start my own channel, even though I might be starting with my phone, but with your tips and tricks I feel less stressed and not as doubtful. I thank you, your my favorite when it comes to tech reviews and information

Hey! Thanks so much for this video. I’m doing interviews at a convention soon and this was so helpful.

Thank you for this Think Media! I was looking for this and wondering it for years!

Sean, thanks for all of the great advice and tips. Starting my own KZread channel. Every step of the way I always check your channel first. Keep up the good work, your the best and most professional. Jan

Jesus, dawg, thank you bro! I’ve been looking for videos about interview microphones and couldn’t find any!!

I purchased the Rode recorder mic and cable as you recommended in this video, along with the M6 Mk ii you recommended in a different video - the hiss is savage. I've tried reducing the volume on the camera settings but then it's too quiet. What am I doing wrong and why is the hiss hugely present at all volume settings?

Danm, Ive looking for a videos like this for a couple of weeks now, All mic videos talk about the mic itself but do no make test or even put an example, and most important thing, how the mic goes connected to te camera (wire or wireless, or mic device recorded) best video ever lml definitely I will subscribe

So close to 100,000! congrats! You've helped me SOOO much w my new channel and I'm growing everyday. I have a very specific niche audience but thanks to you I believe I'm adding great production value also (which is not common in my section of channels). Can't wait for the 100,000 subs video.

I just checked your channel through this video, and just a minute ago you uploaded a video about your gear getting stolen :( Hang in there buddy ! Maybe crowdfund for some basics ?

Its really hard to find reviews on handheld wireless mics.. thanks bro!

Thanks for the video Sean! You're best ___ videos have been great for me in learning to use my camera. Also appreciate you and Benji on your other channel.

I cant believe youtube hasn't recommended this channel sooner i love it!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes! thank you for this video. That handy recorder is well needed!!

Might as well congratulate you on reaching 100k subs Sean, as you are at like 99k now. It's been great to watch your channel grow. I think you were around the 15-20k when I subbed.

I most often use the Zoom h1. Allthough you have to get the Wind cover for it (included in the accessories kit) otherwise you might experience swosh noises if the interviewer moves the recorder too rapidly.. I am considering upgrading the setup further with a Røde Reporter or similar and then using a xlr to 3.5 mm adapter cable to connect it to the H1

Bro you’re always the first person that pops up when I’m looking for something I love your channel

a great live ongoing event would be a critique setting where peeps can get together and critique each others work. the great thing about a real school is one learns from the cohort not just the teacher. live chat is perfect for encouraging engagement and give peeps individual help. it is also rewarding showing work together.

You're so awesome! Love this channel! 🙌🏽

Almost 100k subs man, well deserved, great helpful channel!

thanks a lot, very good suggestions. im going with the rode reporter with the DSLR cable and foam wind-breaker ball bundle on amazon thanks to your suggestion. eventually i will look into a wireless mic for the more hectic situations.

You are the man!!! Needed this video today.

hi All - One more question. Any recommendations for a wired handheld interview mic that will go straight into a smartphone?

Thanks so much for this video Sean. I have the Zoom H1 (I used it with a Sony lavalier for my movie reviews) but was curious how it would be for interviews. I have one at a horror convention in December. Now I know so thank you so much! Quick question...what input level setting do you use on the Zoom H1 for interviews?

Was a good review but should have monitored the audio on the H1 before doing that interview, was a little over cranked, also be aware if you run your fingers over the plastic on the H1 it will pick it up, great mike but would avoid holding the body when recording if possible, speaking from experience.

Hello Sean-Diddy, informative even years later. Over the past 4 years there have been half-a-dozen XLR transmitters (Rode, Senn, Deity, etc...) I'm sure we'd love to hear your take on the sound quality and/or features (like the Deity record to card & transmit at the same time). I'm sure you're at no loss for content to create but please add that one to the list for 2022. ;) Thx for all the amazing content!

great information bro! Thanks!

Little nervous about the hiss on the RODE mic. I just purchased the mic, how do I reduce the hiss?

I have used the H1 and H1n in the past. Then shotguns for a while. My recent one has been a RE50B with a Tascam DR10x recorder on the bottom which probably came out after this video was made but has been great so far.

hey steven, i'd like to do just audio with RE50B mic and instead of the wireless pack as shown above, it's a recorder on the bottom... and that's it. is this what you have set up? thanks, mike

Love my Zoom H1N. Glad to know it's "legitimate" to use it for ENG stuff and not just capturing effects. I use it as an on camera mic more than anything else!

I like the tips and the choices you have braught, but i still have a dought on which Ones are better !! the hand held mikes ! or the liked to camera mikes...! thanks again for your fine work. keep it up 👍

thank you for this video!!! you're the real mvp

Which microphones is best for live group musicians(drums,singer,guitar,etc)???? High to low range

Thank you this video was very helpful !

We use a RØDE lavelier mic under the shirt for our vids... But as you said in the video.. the editing gets a lil more tricky! Awesome video as always Sean! For voiceover we use a Snowball Ice ;)

Hi Sean I have a question can you do a tutorial how to attach the mic how it works which DSLR I'm using Canon 200D

That first mic, can u use some kind of adapter and turn it into a Lightning plug? I wanna buy it for a friend that uses a iPhone for live streams.

Awesome video again, thank you!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THISS!!!

Great information, great reviews!

We use the sennheiser G1 wireless mic system, Zoom H1, Yamaha Pocketrak PR7 (Like the Zoom H1), and a takstar SGC-598 on board Shotgun mic. We even use our first wireless mic, the Radioshack 33-3013 lapel mic. Can plug into either recorder. We use it in a pinch.

Hey Sean! Your so close to 100K!!!!! You've blown up recently and is so happy for u!!!! Here's to another 100k!

Great video thanks for the info.

Hi Sean & Everyone! Sean, in addition to the Zoom H1, what other wireless handheld mics would you recommend for $250 or less? Also, I have lapel mics, and use the iRig Mic HD corded handheld mic. Pros on that is it's a great mic, with volume control right on the mic, cable is micro usb to lightning cable which goes records right into my iphone. The con is that the cord is only 5 ft., and needs to be longer. Thanks in advance! David

I also love the Zoom H1. Amazing sound quality, light and not bulky. I considered buying the newest model for some times but I'm great I bought this one. Really wonderful. Thanks for your clean and clear video, as always. (Even though it's the first time I comment :))

Me too!

I’m impressed for your presentation

Is the RODE Reporter mic and cable a good handheld mic for use with a GoPro Hero 7 Black?

The Sennheiser AVX wireless system is awesome. You don't have to worry about frequency issues like the EVO systems. It is expensive as hell however.

Amazing video. Beyond compare man. Thnks a lot!!!

Hello Sean! I love your videos. Can you do a review of Lumix GH4? I am struggling to choose between Canon 70D and Lumix GH4. Which one can you advise? Thank you so much!

Thanks for this.. I have been looking for a good wireless mic. Lately thought I used the Zoom h1 as a mic at a live event and it was a great solution for cutting out the background noise. Thanks for the tips.. Have you used the Rode Filmmakers kit? If so what are your thoughts on it vs the Seinheisser?

Love Your videos keep up the good work

Could you have a video of the best mics for podcasts? Thanks 🙏

Test from OUTSIDE Outdoor? sorry i forgot that Interviews are sometimes outside...thanks

sean, you always have good ideas

Hey thanks, the video was great and helpfull

Can u show us a hack to use the rode wireless go as a handheld mic for interviews?

Thanks your videos help me so much

Hello and greetings from Ireland. Have just done a sound quality test on four of my microphones... The Rode reporter, the Ixm yellowtec recording microphone, the Shure SM58 and the Rode Procaster. I would rate the Ixm and the procaster as joint number 1. Not far behind the Shure Sm 58 and last the Rode reporter. The Ixm yellowtec is pretty expensive at 750 euro but so easy to use.. Just a mic, no cables or recorders. The procaster is definitely not a handheld but what sound quality. However eventhough cheapest of them all at 110 euro the Shure SM58 is definitely the old dog for the hard road... Beautiful sound fromm a simple old mic. The Rode Reporter I found was very treble. Stay safe John

Hey Sean! Is it possible to do a how to: monitor set up video and talk about monitors in general. I'm trying to start a beauty channel but I'm only using my phone for now, is it possible to set up an iPhone to a monitor?

I use the Zoom H2N and its great for voiceovers, interviews, vlogging, etc.

Thank you for the informative video, but I have a question about using the Rode Reporter with the Sescon cable: What audio settings do you use on your camera? I purchased the mic and the cable based on your recommendation, but I can't get the mic to sound right on my Canon Rebel t4i.

Sean - can you suggest a handheld microphone for outdoor on-street interviews? also would it need a mixer/preamp to connect to a dslr?

Hi sir what kind of microphone using in public that can be compatible in mobile phone vivo

Can you do a sole review on the zoom h1 and its accessories, if its possible can you show us some other different configs while using the mic thank you

when the webinar will start? im waiting for lesson from you..

Wooooooow I was just looking for a new mic and I'm confronted with my lost idol ShayCarl :( He was my inspiration to start on KZread in 2006! Sad story now I guess....

i used a blue yeti for quite some time and now i use a aperture alav and rode video micro

I have a rode reporter and I plug it to the the zoom h1 but when I reproduce the audio it only works in the left channel, nothing come from the right one, so, when I am editing I have to put the left channel also as right channel, so the people can hear properly. Will the cable that you mentioned help or how can I fix that ? Good video!

Can you use the Zoom H1 with one of the interview mics? XLR ect. Thanks!

I use zoom h5, do you recommend and external xlr mic to use ,just for doing medical videos

Awesome video!

Great channel! You got a new sub. I have a question, if the community can help me. I'm starting a new journalistic project now and will be using the smaller Zoom audio recorder for outdoors reporting and interviewing. But I was wondering, what hand held unidirectional microphone could I use with it? Jack the mic onto the recorder and put the recorder in my pocket, for example? Is there a brand/model you recommend?

YOU HAVE 100k SUBSCRIBERS!!! CONGRATS !!!!

I use the Rode Reporter Omnidirectional Interview Microphone with a Zoom H6 Handy Recorder for interviews at festivals and shows.

recommend any wireless mics for canon 80d?

Which is best microphone fr interviews plz tel one I'm confused..zoom h1 is tht ok?

Is the 80d or 70d worth it? I cant decide! I want to do reviews, social experiments, and blogs... so basically I want a good DSLR for general, multipurpose use

Thank you. So much.

hi Sean, do you have a more recent video on the topic? especially street interviews, I have a couple of ideas for media projects + vlogs.

i use zoom h1 with my canon g7x. solution to a no mic input camera. works fine with interviews as well especially in loud places. :)

i really like all the mics

hello great video I am intending to shoot a series of home recipes from our kitchen. I have my cell phone for video, but would a clip on microphone is good choice for the chef? What is an affordable good video editing software that would allow me to cut the audio of the video and Sync another from a external source? I currently own Shure 58 Dynamic I m also considering the Zoom H5 for my music recording at home.

Sean , you are the best !! Thank you !! :-)

can i use regular handheld mics with cables to record videos on my smartphone?

do you think that the tascam dr-05 is a nice option for a beginner ??? or the h1 is better???

Can you review the Comica Interview Reporter Handheld Cardioid Microphone for Smartphone ?

Hi, Sean. Is there a good handheld mic that can plug into an adroid phone or android tablet that is affordable? Sorry if you already made that vid and I missed it but haven't seen one as of yet.

I use an AT2020 linked through Scarlett 2i2 and a Macbook Pro, but it's a pain to bring all that gear along each time, so I'm thinking of getting a Zoom H1. I'm just worried about not being able to monitor it as easily.

What do you recommend for a 2 in one system? I need something for public speaking where I will wear the bodypack with earset mic and a handheld to field questions. The problem is sometimes the venue only has one mic input. I hear the Saramonic UwMic9 solves this problem. Have you used that system and what is your opinion? I would prefer Sennheiser or Shure but don't find a 2 in one I can use for run and gun. Thanks.

I've been waiting for the Rode Reporter and transmitter duo. Meanwhile, I've used a Sony and Canon small mic the size of a Chapstick, with electrical tape around it and a $25 Karaoke microphone from Target to make it look like a professional reporter's mic. The Sony and Canon mics, which are nearly identical, are amazing, but I do want to step up to either the Sennheiser or Rode Reporter mic. I'm hoping the Rode Reporter mic and its transmitter just out will work with my Rode FilmMaker Kit to save having to buy a complete set of the transmitter and receiver pair to make the mic wireless. You would do well to comment on this. I've been happy thus far with other Rode mics that I've bought that include the NTG2 shotgun, and their PIN MIC that camouflages the mic on most all clothing and makes any videographer appear to be a real professional.

Just subscribed. What you guys would recomend for a setup with handheld mic? I mean camera + mic ( would be nice if i would not have to spent all my money xP ) I want to get nice sync ofc . So i need an advice . Thanks for help

Hi there, Just looking for a mic for a hobby KZread channel. My friend and I do reviews, interviews, etc...I am planning on maybe podcasting during my time in a physical therapy program and need something with clear audio that will not cause noise when transferring hands as well as not pick up background noise...thoughts?

Do you need two receivers for two mics or does one receiver record 2 mics?

Will the Sescom and Rodeo Mic work for the Iphone 8 while recording on camera? Please I need to know!
