I like the idea of those lavalier mics Dave, and the standard sound seems pretty ok on them, although maybe better for doing outside talking stuff? Not sure. The garden is looking fabulous too! Cheers, Dan

I might be wrong Dave, but I think your camcorder uses a dynamic microphone whereas your smartphone would use a condenser type because it expects the sound to be next to the phone. The Lavalier ones are interesting, not too bad for following your loco around.
