What's your favourite mic to use?

The Boya Lapel mic,I totally love it.

schoeps cmc641 as boom mic for interviews. Expensive as hell, excellent audio. Lesson: Invest in microphones, take care of them, they'll last you 10-20 years. (unlike everything else)

@Pfagnan 2 жыл бұрын

One of my own tips gleaned from an audio engineer at CBC Television is if you find your lav too ‘present’ you can mix 2 mics in post. So you can set your lav at say 70% and your boom or shotgun at 30% and voila you can have the best of both worlds by adding some room sound. Play with the percentages…

Mark, you are a life saver. I have my first official documentary project coming up and you just happened to stumble into my recommended at the same time. I spent the last two days watching as many of your videos that I can and I have to say, the amount I have learned from you in just the last two days compared to ANY other documentary KZfaqr is second to none. These videos have made me feel so comfortable with what I’m going to be working with. I have no doubts if you keep this up you are going to dominate this platform in the videography/photography sector. I appreciate you so much Mark. I can’t wait to see you become a giant here.

Loved it! That was really useful. I've found mic-ing up corporate peeps before interviews with my Senheizer G3's always a rushed process, and kinda uncomfortable too, because I'm very much in their 'personal space'. I joke about it to ease the awkwardness, but the 'rustle' often becomes noticeable about 5 mins into interview! I must get some tapes. Been thinking about it for ages.Thanks!

Thank you for the honest review. I have the same feeling, from the construction and design the Rhino concept has many advantages compared to Edelkrone, but if the accuracy, repeatability etc. is not given it is useless. The hope is that it is only an software issue which could be fixed with a good develper.

@chrisnewton8418 Жыл бұрын

That ball cap you are wearing can be an excellent place to hide a lav. Under the brim (which is black) use black gaff or paper tape to fix mic in place. Run the cable over the head and drop down the back of the shirt. Long hair will help hide the cable. No problem with head turns, as the hat moves with your head. Only works, of course, if the hat stays on!
