I would like to do client testimonial videos with my iPhone where I ask a few questions and they respond about their experience. Which mic would you suggest for this?
It might be helpful to mention that if you pick up the Shure MV88 you will most likely have to remove the case from your iPhone to use it. It might not be a deal breaker for everyone but some cases are a MAJOR PAIN to take off.
@@Alzheimers_Mike That's true but keep in mind the leverage added by the extension. If you drop your phone or knock over the tripod the extension will increase the potential for damage to the iPhone lightning port.
The MV88 is fantastic, not only because of the app, but it’s enabled to make adjustments and changes to the pickup pattern. It sounds great too! I’ve used mine many times with my iphone and it’s never failed me. Still a great mic and worth the $$$.
@@iandustries it won’t happen this year except on the Pro Max. I have kept my XR so far for 4 years it still takes terrific pics. When I get the 14 pro I’d still keep it around the same amount of time. Also, I’m pretty sure a way to create an adapter will come along. I still have a good number of years to keep this mic around. Along with my DJI Wireless mic, which also provides a lighting connector with it.
How far it pickup the sound from the mic clear and loud enough?Especially i wanted to use for the interview kind of video between two people. Thanks in advance.
I'm finally starting my golf youtube channel and I'm using my iPhone 11 Pro Max on that same Manfrotto tripod with Moment lenses and the Rode VideoMicro. I also use my iPhone 13 Pro Max with a Movo wireless lavalier on a separate tripod. It's been fun recording the entire round. Have two rounds recorded, just need to get to editing!
I’m biased as I’ve been locked in with Deity for years. I mainly use my D4 Pro at home on my camera, D4 & V-lav when I’m out & about. Getting the Deity pocket wireless as an upgrade. Fun fact the D4 is an amazing just out of frame mic for streamers!!!
Honestly, the built in microphone for the iPhone is more than enough for anyone starting out their channel. Is it the best audio quality? *no* But most people won't be able to tell the difference, anyways. The most important part of your channel is *starting!*
I've yet to find anyone that addresses the issue with charging while you have an external mic plugged into your iPhone's USB. the iPhone battery goes quick. Does anyone have any idea for a set up that still lets you charge?
My biggest challenge with my content is recording in public areas where they play copyright music. Then in post I have to cover it up and it destroys the audio. My 2nd biggest challenge is getting better than iPhone mic quality audio without drawing attention to myself while I’m out recording. We need a viable Bluetooth lav mic. I don’t understand why Rode, diety, and Shure haven’t given this to us yet. We have the technology.
because they cost 25 dollars from a china brand, and they're available on Amazon for that price. My guess is they can't compete / don't want to, for branding purposes.
@@TastingTravel As I type this I have another window open actually and I'm buying a pair, even Think Media (this channel you're viewing this video on), recommended that as a must have fun option for any RU-vidr, in another video of theirs. True, on the Amazon page it does say they aren't bluetooth. I wonder what they are then. Some kind of radio technology? That said, um, I think the guy in the comment above @anthonylharding, might mean by "bluetooth", is "wireless". Since he mentioned not drawing attention to himself I imagine that's what he meant. I'm going to give them a go, I hope they work! :)
@@TastingTravel Oh I didn't realise you're the same guy with different channels! Maybe you could try em out? Or have you? And did they work for you? Thanks!
I've tried them, they are terrible. Ther are not actually bluetooth. they have a reciever that plugs into the phone port and its a major breaking point, I've snapped 3 of them just by putting my phone in my pocket. I've done more research on the RWP and it has a MagSafe compatability which makes it a better option but then it makes the phone bulky and clunky which is one of the things I'm trying to avoid by using my phone. Any microphone company that makes a true bluetooth capable microphone is going to sell billions of dollars worth of them. It would be best if Rode or Shure do it because they already have the quality of microphone down so they should really spend to make this happen@@theyoutubejourney
First of all ... The amount of information that you guys are giving you for free is a crime. But I appreciate every bit of it!!! I have a Canon R6 Camera ... And I'm about to purchase a RF 16mm WIDE ANGLE lens ... Im about to start a FOOD/Cooking RU-vid chanel ... I'm confused on which mic I should invest in ... I'm going to be the one shooting the footage myself with a tripod ... Any recommendations???
Vlog and podcast. I think I’m going to purchase the 2nd microphone. I already have the 1st mic; so I don’t know if I’m going to purchase a boom for it or just purchase the 4th wireless microphone you also recommend. And I’m going to eventually purchase the 5th microphone also.
Excellent information! I’ll eventually be creating videos of me creating various crafts. I also host a party at my lake each summer with live bands playing. I’d like information on the best audio options available to pick up the music/vocals from the band while limiting the crowd sounds. Thanks!!
When you use these mics with the iPhone, is the audio from the mic synched to the iPhone video? Or do you need to synchronize the audio and video after recording?
I am trying to create Vlog style and head on shots like the video. I started my channel this month and have uploaded a video daily! Will keep on investing in myself to improve 🙏🏽
Hi there- great video...I just got a 15pro max...and I have a Rode Videomicro I would like to use with it for audio. I don't need wireless. I guess ALL I would need is a mini jack to USB-C adapter for it to work with the iphone? Previously this mic would connect to my Canon 90D and draw power from the camera. Will it draw power from the iphone now? I would prefer NOT to deal with adapters etc...but could you recommend a shotgun mic that already has a USB-C connector? Similar in size to the videomicro or the Deity and under $100. No need to spend more in my case. what USB-C compact mini shot gun would you recommend? Something simple...wired is fine-just plug and play...thanks
Hey, can you speak to the rig set up you did with the diety mic on the tripod please? and list the products with links if possible? that would really help.
Every lightning to 3.5mm adapter I tried with an iphone 12 pro and using a TRS to TRRS jack didn’t work. MFI certified, actual Apple Product, nothing. In the end the only solution was to get the Rode Video Mic Me-L that plugs directly into the lightning port. Then you have to get a lightning to lightning extension cable if you want to mount the mic away from the camera, and those cables are not long making a boom mount option out of the question.
My most used microphone for my RU-vid is a 7RYMS Minbo Mini, A “Shure” branded Mini Wireless Mic (VX-1) with a lavalier mic and A MIC-06 Mic. And I already have a future plan to get my final microphone in a row... Which it’s going to be a Røde.
Bro! I was watching your video getting completely educated when my husband Frank G goes! You know that’s Omar from city Light!! I’m like whattttt. I’m totally obsessed with your videos and I’m going to buy that mv88 mic! ❤
Great video! I’ve been trying to find a mic for my iPhone to use when filming at band rehearsals. It’s just for our ears to listen back to, so it doesn’t have to be the best quality, but any improvement on the build in mic would be awesome. Any tips?
Wow I definitely need this video because I only use my iPhone 11promax to create my RU-vid videos without using mic, but I hv been looking for a nice mic to get
Bought the Deity Pocket Wireless to use with my 2 month old Iphone 12. The phone doesn't recognize it. Deity recommends using a headphone adapter, that didn't work, I used the lightening cable that came with the phone. Went to Verizon (phone is new), they said the Deity isn't compatible with Iphone12's. The Shure MV88 works great after ordering the miniextender from Amazon (I have a hard case), but I need a lavalier sometimes. I guess I'll keep the Deity in case I get a camera someday (can't return it). This is my first Iphone, I want my android back.
Great vid Omar! Nice work! Hey, quick question- I have the Rode video micro and really dig it- but I do want to mount it to my boom. Where did you get that clamp thingy to mount the mic to the boom? Thanks man!
Omar, I am a new RU-vidr, and have been spending weeks trying to get a mic that actually works. I haven't been able to post my first REAL video yet that I know will be of value to many BUT I can't get any mic to work properly. Every mic recommended on RU-vid has had problems. I first bought the MV7. Couldn't hear out of it, exchanged it for an MV88. The app worked for a short time then quit. Sent it back and bought another mv88 (The kind on the stand) that quit working in a day. I bought a lapel mic that kept cutting in an out, returned it. It would be so nice to have someone share about a mic that actually works with my iPhone 12 Pro and talk slower for this senior citizen gal who doesn't have a lot of time to spare! LOL. Please advise! Thank you!
@@ThinkMediaTV wait actually? Because I ordered the the Deity D4 Duo and got every adapter possible and it didn’t work. Care to explain everything I’ll need to get if I want the Deity D4 mini to work on my iPhone 13?
I didnt see any mic thst you can use for outside. I mainly wanna use it for recording while in a moving car. Id love a mic that can block the wind noise.
Thanks guys, amazing video. What microphone do you recommend for vlog creation. My budget is about $150, I want to use it for sit down videos as well as 'on the go' vlog style videos.
I thought they sounded the same. And I'm listing with 7" KRK speakers DAC driven. The MV88 was SWEEEEET. But, I don't know if I could handle that haning out of my phone.. Sensitive to handling though.
Man, thank you so much for your tips! What would you recommend for preaching? I'm trying to do everything as simples as possible, cuz the church I pastor doesn't have many people available and skillful. I was thinking to go live using RU-vid direct on my iPhone 11 Pro and get a mic. Any suggestion? Thank you!
Deity pocket wireless or wired…is used for…what type of content again?! I didn’t hear the reason. I’m looking to startup a video podcast (recorded video and audio at the same time, upload to both video channels and to traditional podcast channels). I also want to be able to do interviews and group records with up to 5-6 people at once. I’m on a budget right now and can upgrade later. I need to get it going first.
Thanks for a wealth of information in this video. I would like to know what would you recommend for my personal project. I’m creating family history content where I interview singles and couples on iPhone video. I want to give it a professional documentary feel. I will be interviewing at most 2 people at a time in front of iPhone camera then edit it using Premiere pro. What would be the best microphone for two people?
Want to add segments to a existing podcast show that sounds correct and eventually start my own podcast show and use also equipment to branch into video using a IPhone 12 max
This dude tag is swollen.. Hard. I like. I started needing one on for off device like recording. Tripped out on freestyling pop ups. Was like a first ever idea when I got started with digital creating but lost the track. I like the style of the looks of this one. ✌ What's the noisiest place you've used it? I was actually looking for a pin mic. But the dr have me
My issue is I want to use my iPhone 15 with Rode or Shure. The program reduces light quality. I can’t make them work on my iPhone cam app even with the external adapter cable. Please offer suggestions?
Thanks for this video. Very informative. I’m going to look more into the Diety pocket wireless mic to help with my future audio as I like the look and sound of it.
What is the adapter you say is necessary and show, but never identify? It's a white cable, I can see it in your video - but you never provide any useful info on it. You say it's a lightening adapter, but never say from what sort of connection to the lightening connection? What sort of adapter will I need? What sort of plug is on the non-lightening end? Is it proprietary, or can I get one from anywhere? Suggestions on where to buy? Seems really crucial and necessary, but is missing from your link list too. Really appreciate any info on this piece of the puzzle.
I do how-to crafting videos. I start with some face time and then transition to a downward-facing view of my work surface to do the tutorial. The Deity V-Lab (wired) microphone or the Deity Pocket Wireless sound like they might be the best small solution for me. What do you think?
I’ve been using the Rode Video Micro for a while now for my travel videos, but just purchased the smart lav+ which I’m going to test out in noisy environments and especially for some voiceover work
This was a really useful video so thanks a lot Omar. I would love to know, if I wanted to do voiceover videos with mostly B-rolls shots what kind of mic would you recommend in that scenario?
Thank you. Very helpful. You 9:45 didn’t commit on which mic is best for interviewing one person crowds. Yesterday I did some interviews with people who are volunteering for a special event. I liked the idea of some background noise but my iPhone 12 mic didn’t give me any options for eliminating some of that noise. in iMovie, I could remove some of it, but it was still a little bit distracting. Which mic would be best for this purpose?
i have a sony a7ii from my days working professionally but i find it heavy to do vlogging so im using my iphone for now, which has it own set of limitations. thanks for this audio advice.
IF ANOTHER SEES THIS: Please if you know how I can extend my TRS to TRRS cable in order to put this mic on a boom poll and still be able to plug it into my phone, please let me know. I have the short TRS to TRRS cable from rode, but I need around 10 feet of chord for this boom.
