One of my favorite teacher youtuber.

I got the Boya BY-M1 thanks to your recommendation and loved it! But very quickly graduated to the Rode Wireless Go and pretty much been using that in most of my videos now. Especially handy when filming yoga videos... and great quality for talking head vids too. From one of YOUR recommendations too, I have the Boya BY-MM1 (Boya’s competitor of the Rode video micro here), but to be honest this is one I never use and will probably sell. I recently got the Shure MV7 for livestreams and recording meditations and I LOVE the sound quality of that. It’s not cheap but it’s worth the amazing sound. Thanks for making your educational videos, I’ve learned a lot from you! 🙌

I've always been looking here and there for a video like this. Thanks🙂

*AMAZING Video!* 🔥

This was a fantastic overview, thanks Justin. I was so confused about certain types of mic, and this video exceeded my expectations to help me figure things out. It set me on the path to explore the smartLav+ because I needed something to use with a mirrorless (occasionally) and my iPad (majority of the time). So I bought the Rode smartLav+ with the Rode SC3 TRRS to TRS converter. I also bought the Rode SC1 extension cable. This now has me covered for phones and cameras.

Hey Justin, Excellent video this will help to get my podcast show up and ready.. I really keep watching your videos and get all information and advice that I need to start up my shows... 🎙️

Perfect timing on this video. Picking up up the BOYA through your link today, thank you!!

Excellent video, so informative and professional. Love your back lights & background and the timestamp sections ticking along the bottom as well as the extra clever little things you do as mini Justin. I'm going to buy the Lavalier Microphone for now until one day when hopefully I get monetized, then maybe my budget can stretch to a wireless one.

Everything about your content is so perfect!!! You taught me so much...thank you Justin.

Very helpful overview and recommendations--thanks!

Really learnt a lot. Very detailed.Thanks

Thanks for this! Just when am looking into getting a microphone! I appreciate the work and research you guys at Primal Video put into the tutorials you share 👏👏👏.

Wow Thanks for information ℹ️ ❤️

That was an excellent round-up, so thorough, it had all the info. I didn't really know and it was really, really helpful. Thank you.

Always, always useful and I'm grateful to you constantly. Thank you again.

Amazing video. 😊

Mini Justin is very entertaining! Really enjoyed that... thank you

Thanks for the great suggestions and demonstrations!

Great video Justin! The Rode wireless go sounds really good. I currently have the Rode micro, but thinking about upgrading soon.

Thanks Justin for your kind information very helpful. I think your channel is going to touch million this year very proud of you and congratulations.

Great and so useful info! Thank you!

I need to buy one right away. Very great and inspiring tutorial J. Brown.

Thank you very much for breaking down on different types of microphones. Couldn't decide which one till you explained them thoroughly. Now I know which ones to get for different applications. Much appreciated your tech knowledge 😊

Just what I was looking for, thank you! So the Rode wireless is a definite for most of my videos as I’m often playing guitar between talking (guitar is recorded directly through an interface). And the Rode NT shotgun when I have guests on the show and need to pick up both adequately.

Great video. I'm at the point of trying to decide which microphone will suit a number of different uses from Vlogging outside to Podcast / Studio work. It has helped a lot. Thanks.

So much good information. Thank you!

Fabulous content!! Answered all my questions and even those I didn’t ask! Thank you!

Thank you Justin. Your videos are so helpful. I appreciate how you explain everything. And I love your voice.

Thanks friend. Straight to the point. No fluff. Excellent content.

Perfect!! Just what I needed

Thanks! I currently use a Blue Yeti, and I plan on streaming and recording.

Very thorough, informative. Thank you! Love your videos!

Thank you ive needed a mic since i stream this video is a real help thx

I don't understand why you do not have a million views per video because so far you have been the best tutor I have ever come across...anyway, only time would tell right. Thumbs up 👍👍👍

Love your channel! You have helped me so much !

Finally a perfect microphonr video♥️after checking all youtube for days, you made me make a choice! 🔥

Thanks Justin, I watched your video and just bought the lav mic from your link....I was told to watch your videos from a guy in India at the Vodaphone call center of all places..I was buying a new iphone to film my youtube vids (just getting back into it and want to learn as much as I can to improve my editing as well as filming and sound) and ordered the latest iphone and the guy said I should def subscribe to your videos. So you just never know where you get your views from! I'm getting my set up done and then will start filming again in a couple of weeks....so I'll be watching a lot more of your videos!

Excellent resources thank you a million times!!!

Thanks for the advice.

Justin, I love your content. Keep up the good work

Mr.Brown thank you very much for this amazing video. I was soo lost before I saw this video.

Thank you. I've subscribed.

Brilliant advice on audio speakers

Great video thank you! 👍😊

I use the Boya BY-M1, works likes a charm compared to the usual earphone w/mic phone accessory. I recommend this espcially to those who are just starting out.

Great video Justin . We got the Rode idea micro 👌🏼🧱👍🏼thanks.

Thanks for your very helpful sharing 😉

Thisbis very helpful thanks for this video😊

Microphones are like empires, they come and go. In the 1960's I used to play with Sennheiser and they were just unreal! No pop noises, you could blow into them and they remained without artefacts. 70 years later we seem to reinvent the wheel. Sure they got smaller and more affordable and wireless ones have different operating frequencies. Has our hearing changed? Sure our perception has!

I'm using a lapel mic. Have to save for the all rounder you recommended. Thanks for this video.

Hi Jay, yet another great video. Could you please recommend a decent in-ear headset/mic with an extra-long cord? For context, I'm looking to do interviews whilst streaming through Streamyard. Thanks mate!

I use the movo vxr10 shotgun mic that I bought for only $40 but I just recently bought the boya M1. Can't wait to test it out

Honestly you are my Guru regards KZfaq related.. whenever I have issues I'm only searching for your channel and got clear solutions You are So helpful .. I really appreciate 👋👋

Justin, thanks for the value you bring! Around 20 seconds into your video, you included an animated version of yourself pointing at the like button - so cool - how did you do that!?

Justin - Fantastic video! Have watched several and now subscribed here and to "Insider" - Question please: What stopped you from recommending the RODE VideoMicro as the best "allrounder" over the Rode Videomic NTG? Thank you.

Thanks for great video 👍👍

Thank you thank you! I record a lot of free meditations for KZfaq for my Pathway Of Joy page. But the audio I realized is subpar. I am going to go ahead and purchase the inexpensive BOYA BY-M1. Not only is it inexpensive but it actually does sound like it would be the best one for my situation.

Your videos are fantastic. thank you.

I had a rode mini shotgun and thought that was great but now have the TakStar 598. I've not looked back since

Great Video, Justin! I've been wondering about USB micro. Now I know that won't work for me. I'm so glad you said that you could use the Boya M1 with the Rode Wireless Go! Mine is on back order but I'm excited to try the Rode.

Good evening I'm new to the channel and I have been watching all your videos

Thanks for helping me upload my first video about the Tesla model y 7 seater. Appreciate your info sir.

I do it every time look at other blogs for answers Then I come to Primal Video where I know I can get good honest unbiased reviews Great video Justin will not waste anymore time with other channels 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great Video.. Well produced

Nice one Justin. Could you do one on microphones for narration/voiceover? I was recommended a Rode USB mic on another channel. it’s OK, but a bit tinny. Do you think an upgrade to xlr is the way forward?

Thank you so much for this clear video, right now we are using the Boya BY-M1 and Rode mini shotgun. We want to start doing a podcast and where considering using the "Samson Technologies Q2U USB/XLR", currently trying to get more info about this mic. We have echo issues in the recording room, and need a mic that will not pick up the noise. So far the lavalier is ok, but I wish for something better.

Great valuable video thanks👌👌

This will help me alot thanks

Thanks for this, I need better audio for my videos. I'm learning a lot.

Thank you for the detailed video. I am between Oktava mk 012 and NTG 5. My need is to record indoor and outdoor dialogue for narrative. Which love to get your opinion on which you would use between the two if you could pick just one. Can a third short condenser shotgun be a better choice? Thanks

great info as aways guys. Obviously a better mic is the way to go, do you have any favourite software for reducing echo/reverb in edit?

Justin you are best of the best teachers thanks sir for clearity

Ridiculously dumb question: How did you attach the Lavalier Go inside your shirt, and did you use the pop filter? I just got the Lavalier Go and have had some issues with sharp popping sounds even when using the pop filter and the mic attached to my collar.

Great video. Thanks! I am wondering how can you have your smartphone plugged into your pc and have a microphone hooked up as well?

Justin! I bought the Rode VideoMicro following your advice. I had to return it because my MacBook Air doesn't recognize it and it's too much of a hassle to adapt it. I'll still follow you, though. Thanks for the guidance.

Awesome video! I'm curious, what made you decide not to include dynamic mics in your roundup? I know XLR --> DAC --> computer (or phone!) can be obnoxious, but there are some good USB dynamics on the market...

Question: What microphone do you recommend for recording live acoustic guitar or piano music? A Shotgun mic? Thank you. Great video

Rode has great products. I still have to recommend microphones from Deity that I like more and often at a better price. Thanks for your great video Justin. 👍👏

How did you create yourself leaning out of the frame to hit the thumbs up button? very cool. I bought a Boya MM1 after watching one of your videos, but it's time for an upgrade.

Nice work dear sir 🔥🔥👍👍🙏🙏

Justin,I like your educational videos very much. Quick question,when shooting kids videos,which sites do I get the free copyright backgrounds or locations for kids videos?Thank you.

Overall love the video and have the Rode Videomicro. But I like my Shure MV88 better. Better sound and better distance - but it’s $145. For my Canon M-50, I totally love to use my $22 Sony lapel. It has amazing stereo sound. I’m disappointed with the Diety mic due to buzzing sounds. For podcasts, the Samson G-Track Pro does very well with a rich sound. In addition, the Samson has cardioid, Omni, and figure eight all in one - does well for music too. Great bang for the $$$. Word also is that the Shure MV7 is a gold standard for podcasting if you can afford over $200. I wish Justin has shown more choices out there - audio is worth the investment.

Great microphones there! Justin to 1 Million this year!!

Thanks ur great help to me

Thank you for this informative video! I ordered an inexpensive wireless mic and am very disappointed in it. I've had to scrap two videos so far. I just purchased the Boya mic.

Hey Justin Can you make a video on Rainmeter?(Its a desktop customization app available on windows and mac)

What is the best for silent video? Only catching your sound effects from actions and avoided background noise & the air conditioner? Thanks!

I've been using Rode smartlav+ with extension cable. I seem to get better audio than my Blue Yeti. It's made to connect directly to smartphones as opposed to DSLR cameras.

That's what I needed

Hi! Can you do a video on a good video conference calls set-up? How do I connect my phone to my laptopto use its camera? What headset/speaker can I use with my lav mic?

I have both the Boya lav mic and the small Boys mini shotgun mic. For some reason my Google Pixle 3 recognises a mic but doesn't actually work so in using the mic with a small Sony digital dictaphone. The lav mic is fantastic but the shotgun has limitations. It's fantastic at wind suppression and other background noise outdoors but I really struggle to get the audio level. I'm considering a powered shotgun mic or probably a Rode Wireless Go 2 and interview mic as a do it all option with my Current Boya Lavaliere. My content is a mix of car road test and car events so a bit mixed. Another great informative video.

Hi Justin, thanks for the video. What bracket are you using @ 05:45?

I gotta say that I started KZfaq with your video "How to open a KZfaq Channel". Your videos are of high quality.

I use the fifine for my zoom meetings and it is fantastic and reasonably priced

wow my great teacher weldone sir great hogia

Im using the røde nt-usb mini and personally is the best purchase I’ve made yet

I am just starting and use the boom mic that came with my camera. Video Camera 4K Camcorder Vlogging Camera Recorder 30MP 3" LCD Touch Screen 18X Digital Zoom KZfaq Camera with Microphone is what I bought.

Thank you for this. I have found the Rode Wireless Go microphone best for the work I do.

Hi Justin, we have the IDOLCAM VlogStar V2 shotgun/Lavalier microphone in one, can we send you one for the next mic review?

By the way 💓♥️ Your content
