Great video. I always look forward to new videos from your channel. Thanks

I had multiple microphones (Blue Yeti, Rode VideoMic and lav mic) and I was not happy with the audio quality, until I got Zoom H1N, fantastic piece of equipment, great portability and crystal clear audio. You can use it as a shotgun mic, audio recorder and interview mic. Highly recommend. I use it for my KZread videos and courses.

I just ordered the boya lav mike, thanks for a great video.

Holy moly! I currently use that same Takstar into a Zoom H1n with my Sony a5100 for videos and was pretty appalled with how much worse the audio quality was on it going into the Panasonic than what I get out of it with the Zoom H1 but after that lavaliere comparison it all makes sense now! Night and day difference going into the external recorder! Was going to ditch the Zoom H1n with an upgrade to a camera with an audio jack, but it looks like the Zoom has now found a permanent residence in my content creation arsenal!

As always a good video and I use both the shotgun and lav mics. Both are very good for the price. The only problem I had on the lav was where the cord went into the mic, I had to repair that. But for the cost I am just going to buy a new one.

I'm a big fan of using the zoom as both a preamp and a dedicated recorder. Plug you mic into the zoom and set levels. Use the headphone jack to run to your camera and press record on both camera and zoom. This way you get a file with the video and a separate safety file on the zoom.

Great installment! The boya is a great little mic. One brand of deadcat for it is Bestshoot MW-1 on Amazon. The Boya H1n combo was shockingly good listening in mono on a small PC

Awesome video again sir. I've reviewed the Takstare and featured it in s couple videos too and think it's a pretty decent Shogun mic for $25.00. it's s bit louder than the Rode Videomic but didn't have the base the Rode has. Keep up the awesome videos Ted.

Another great video. Thank you!!

Thanks for the video. I use the Boya-BY M1 lapel mike. I am happy with the quality for such a low price. I would have liked to be able to disconnect the cable and use a shorter one.

Whoa Everyday Dad! The BOYA mic sounds great. I have one but have been reluctant to use it. Thanks so much for this vid! I’m gonna plug mine in through the Zoom H4N pro. I’m excited. Again, thank you!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽💥💥💯

You can mount the Takstar on a boom with a simple 1/8'" in extension cord. Female on one end male on the other.

Great video, I found nothing beats a cheap lav mic recording direct into my mobile phone.

This was really handy, here I am only focusing on the rode mics when there are much budget friendly options

Been using the rode video micro and boya lav, just ordered a zoom h1n for stereo and sound recording.

I use my rode video micro, and I have a 3-foot aux cord that I connect to it from my a6500. Since it's tiny I can hook in around anywhere.

Love your way of spiking

I just picked up the BOYA BY-MM1 Mini shotgun mic; which is something of a Rode VideoMicro clone. Price is anywhere from 26-40 bucks (depending on how long you want to wait to get it). Worked great for my son's martial arts tournament; reducing background noise, and focusing on his performance. Pros: Half the price of Rode, Slightly better Bass response, Includes cables for Both cameras and phones, No battery necessary (so requires plug-in power capable devices) Cons: Shockmount not as isolating as Rode Clean, cheap, never worry about battery... Loving it!

Great video as usual. I have an H1n recorder and that same boya lav mic it is definitely much better than the canon m50 alone. I was curious if you could do a video of the settings you use on the Zoom H1n and any specific post production steps you take to get good audio. This series of videos on budget gear is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Probably the best budget lavalier mic is the Purple Panda. It doesn't need a battery, but it punches above its $30 price tag when used with any Lumix cameras or audio recorders.

I too have zoom h1n, recording audio and video separately is pain when you don't have a good software. But trying it as audio interface had a lot of hiss. Do you have any suggestions for that? I use sony A7iii

Do you have a wire you recommend to connect a boom mic to your smart phone? So, a loooonnggg male TRS to male TRRS cable.

Saramonic Smartmic (small direct plug one) and Boya MM1 (like rode video micro but louder and deeper). Both can be found for around 25 bucks (boya on eBay). Hands down the best inexpensive audio kit IMO.

Boya BY M1 or Rode SmartLav+, I wanna use one of those with my cellphone. Which one should I get.? Thanks for help. :D

Looking for external audio device that I can use wireless rode mic on can you help?

My current audio. Boya MM1 and Movo which is rebranded MM1 as own both on GoPro or Nikon D5300. RodeVideoMicro on Sony AX53. Aspen Lav, little Saramonic, RodeWireless GO on whatever is needed for the situation. Dead cats on everything. Money goes father with audio IMO. For under 50 I can vastly improve a video.

Ha funny I also have the TAKSTAR SGC but not from TAKSTAR... Bought it 8 years ago published under a company called Dörr. It's even the same battery as I got in the box back then. Yep I still remember. ^^

Hello, into what program/do you record the audio? Thanks

So good to hear because I wanted a mic that I can not only hot-shoe on my Canon 80D but also use it as a boom mic for interviews.

Does anyone know how to fix this: so Basically I have an Olympus WS- 853 digital voice recorder, which I use for meetings and regular stuff, (although it's not as good as I thought it was despite being £85), I once recorded rain sound with it while outside just by using the handheld recorder alone but the noise capture was not the best of quality and the wind seemed to really mess up with the sound too. Does anyone have any suggestions for external microphones or other cheap but really good bits of equipment I could buy to fix the wind and quality problem especially when recording outside noise. If so I would really appreciate it 💛 if you could give full names of recommended products or equipment, or full details in advice. Thank you!

How is your MixPre3 and boom mic system only $700? The MixPre3 cost more than that, maybe less 4 years ago? But how much was your boom mic?

When are you going to make a video about the DJI Osmo Action ?

As good as the Zoom H1n is for budget recording device, it isn’t suitable as external microphone for most cameras as it has only line output which is considerably higher gain than microphone output. The output volume control is apparently digital and cannot maintain audio quality on very low volume levels. Therefore you would need an attenuator which needs to be matched depending what kind of input audio settings your camera has.

"create it for less" series can still work. even though we don't see the crucible destroying tech.

Are u still doing the live streams on Saturday nights?

Can you...can you be my dad? Your video has been so helpful. There's just so many options out there and I was just lost. Thank you so much for recommending these!

What’s the best way to improve my audio for recording my son? I usually use an Osmo Pocket for video but I don’t know if the H1n zoom would help me in my situation, or would it?

@BuzzWorthy

5 жыл бұрын

The H1N can help you greatly. You can use it a many different ways with the Osmo Pocket; 1) You can use the H1N built in mics and record the audio to the H1N. 2) You can use the Osmo mic adapter and run a cord from the Osmo to the H1N to capture the audio. 3) You can run a lav/lapel mic from H1N to your son directly. 4) You can run a lav/lapel mic from your son then into H1N then into Osmo and this will save you the trouble of syncing the audio/video in post.

@@mikepotapa5773 If you put a wireless lav mic on him you are going to have to connect a transmitter to him which he will probably find too tempting. I guess you could mount it on the back of his pants and carefully coil up the extra cord for the mic - that definitely could work, just be careful with the cords. I purchased and reviewed the Pixel WM-10 which has 2 transmitters and a receiver so you or your wife could wear one mic at the same time as your son if you wish. I don't think you can find a better 2 transmitter wireless lave mic for the price. If you only need to mic him up I don't think you can go wrong with the wireless Rode Go - no wires and only $200 I believe. Ted (Everyday Dad) reviewed the Rode Go wireless.

Or you could plug the budget mic into nearly any smartphone and use it as a audio recorder for the cost of a TRRS cable at about $10 (or less), rather than a $120 audio recorder to plug in a $20/25 microphone into. The smartphone doesn't even need to be on contract to do this so if you know someone who has an old one it might even be free, and if you are truly on a budget free ninety-five is the best price.
