Your comment that "good audio" is probably more important than 'bad video" was brought home to me recently. I am a KZread history buff. I began working in broadcasting in the mid-1950's at ABC-TV in NY. At that time, before even black & white videotape was commercially developed, programing was recorded on Kinescope for immediate re-transmission to delayed time zones and for program preservation. To those too young to know what and how Kinescope operated; basically, a black & white motion picture film camera was pointed directly into a black & white TV monitor. The expose film was immediately fed into a chemical photographic processor and came out fully developed and dried very quickly. The audio was recorded simultaneously on the film stock on an optical soundtrack (later on a magnetic stripe). The grainy film quality was poor, but the audio was comparatively good. That is why when viewing a very old video on KZread today; while the picture is extremely poor, the audio is usually more acceptable. This goes to the premise that you will watch poor video with acceptable audio, but not necessarily the other way around.

amazing video! thanks so much for this 🙌

Brilliant, along with a lot of your other vids. I’ve watched about eight of the in the last day or two. Clear, well-produced, valuable. Thank you.

Thanks! After three months of getting active, I am finally upgrading my audio and THIS VIDEO SHOWED ME HOW!

Awesome vid, well presented, and really drives home the difference between what good/immersive audio sounds like compared to bad audio!

This is clutch! Doing my first Interview style production today, and needed a quick audio setup. Thanks!

So many KZreadrs need this advice Brian I understand your master plan

So helpful. I'm completely brand new and this video makes it very easy to start, thank you !

Dude you are a ROCKSTAR!! Not only did you save us the hassle of research, you attached all the links to buy the individual pieces PLUS gave us an assembly tutorial! - I rarely make comments on KZread videos but I wanted to pop in and say THANK YOU!!!

Thanks for all the suggestions, I bought all the gear from your links and also got the same mic! Cheers!

Thank you for your video on setting up an affordable mic set up above the speaker. The richer tones are clearly more appealing. 'A great video.

Awesommmeeeeeee, you just resolved my problem!! I bought the rode videomic NTG to do voice overs but it just sounded very bad and really crackely when I put it in front of me and recorded audio... I spend days trying to solve this by recording under a blanked, doing a firmware update and changing every setting on the Mic, on my pc and trying different software. In the end after watching this video I tried a overhead boom setup and now I am super happy with the audio, thank you so much!!!

This is perfect, had literally no clue how to even set this up before this video, and wondered why everyone recommends the Movo, when I actually thought that mic was very rough, loud hissing sounds, and unclear, thanks so much for showing us how to do this!!

As per usual this was an awesome in-depth very informative & interesting tutorial and video, Brian. 😁 👌 Cheers man! 🍻

Thank you. This is great. Truly very helpful

Thank you! I love the sound of my microphone and instead of playing russian roulette with a new microphone I thought of getting a boom arm, but this microphone stand looks like a smarter choice 🙃

It has been used several times and loved.

this video was PERFECT! This was just what I needed to set up my boom mic system. Dude everything you did in this video was great!! Thank you very much!!! SUBSCRIBED

Very insightful and interesting video... I have mine close-ish to me and not quite above me yet and I've felt quite distant still with that setup... So I'll definitely try overhead

This was SO useful!! Thank you, btw, you look super sympathetic

Great advice and great video. I use this exact setup (same stand and microphone) as my primary setup and think it sounds even better than an expensive wireless lav. Great to know it doesn’t take a $200+ mic to get great audio. QUESTION: do you recommend using the dead cat when indoors in a controlled environment? Have you done any tests with vs without it?

so helpful👌

I just picked up the MOVO VXR10 off your suggestions. Not ready to put the money out for a boom setup yet, but I should only be three or four feet from the camera, so I think it should be fine!

This video helped out greatly. I'm new to recording and knew that the microphone was key, but trying to get the sound right is lost on me and most guides just say "get a good microphone" and leave it at that. Thanks so much!

You're a boss.

Just bought VM NTG, was going to spend $130 on a boom mic stand… glad I saw this. Will grab the cheap Amazon stand from your links. Next thing I’m learning about is, if my Sony A7C audio preamps are going to be decent enough.. or, if I should grab a zoom f2 for an extra $180.

They're probably "good enough." It's up to you to decide if that's good enough for you and your audience.

Hi Brian, such an informative video! Thanks :) Could you recommend an overhead microphone stand that can be attached to a desk? I would like to make this setup on my standing desk

My volume was 1/4 of the way but thank you alot I already had the mic but didn't like the sound this should solve my problems!

You should have more subs that 3.6K, that's ridiculous man! Great Video - I had borrow my buddie's Sennheiser MK400 but I broke it taking it off my tripod, so I bought a new one and gave that to him, and repaired the one I broke, but it turned out really bad, and it sucks because those mic's sound great!

Great content, thanks, just wondering what you do with the 2 cables that you suggest for laptop use? do I just link them together? thanks so much

Would you be able to possibly do an updated version of this video for podcasts? Or….if I have a two-person sitting podcast and want to use the floor standing mic stands using the Samson Q2U usb mics, would I need the same TRS connections/cords to connect to an audio connector?

Hey Brian nice job . I have got a question :- Will the shoe adapter or other adpater be enough for the zoom h1n hole at the back of the microphone?

Great video! We appreciate the free jewels. Just wanted to ask; for this setup, the Iphone 10 has the lighting port. Can you recommend a TRSS adapter that would work for this type of setup? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi I am from Sri Lanka This is very good video thank you for making the video Could you tell me what the mic that you have used in this video.

Is this portable? Can you break up the mic stand into small pieces and travel with it in a backpack for example?

Confusing since the Amazon link to the 10 foot cable shows it being plugged into computers and cell phones And never mentions TRS

Man, great presentation. I do not see the microphone listed in the gear. Can you post a link to the mic?

What extension cable would you suggest for me to use as a boom mic? Male to Male or VC1 extension?

hello im new to this, but will it work on my blue yeti classic one ? it's kinda heavy i don't like the one armed style it doesn't fit my desk so yours are pretty good

Wow it sure makes a big difference..can I do this with the Movo VX10..usually I just place it on top of my Canon M50. Also can I use the same set up for going live?

As long as your HDMI capture card also transmits audio from the camera, then yes!

17-38 sec....please make a detailed video about how we can archive sounds like you...the amazing background hearbeat music you put in your background just love it all those other little instuments. Please also tell us about what kind of music is suitable for voice over background...

Sound proof or sound absorption?

Any chance you remember or can advise on the in-camera gain level on something like the Sony ZV E10 in this set up (boomed)?

Do you know if I can modify the sound on iMovie? ☺️

Great video, and the difference in sound is night and day. Do you do any post processing on the audio after recording?

He definitely does. Usual processing is compression and EQ, maybe some de-essing before that.
