    VideoMicro's are the best! We have a few of them.
    Made in Australia. Just like us!

    Is it just me or does the micro sound better than the xlr

    I got this microphone through amazon warehouse deals for 20$ in Very Good conditions and so far, not disappointed.

  • @CPMEDIACREATION
    @CPMEDIACREATION 6 лет назад +10

    definitely decent sound for a cheaper end microphone, being a simple 3.5 mm jack to makes life fairly easy in case something happens to the stock cord! nice review good sir

    Honestly I think the Rode mic sounds a bit clearer for your voice, but the XLR one has better noise isolation.

  • @Alexandra-Rex
    @Alexandra-Rex 6 лет назад +1

    The quality you lose by being farther away is more about the room though, at least the echo, so a more padded room will have less of it. Good video and review as usual :)

  • @danieldevilliers3868
    @danieldevilliers3868 6 лет назад

    Did you know that Premiere can sync up the audio between different sources for you? All you have to do is select only the audio from the cameras video file (by alt + clicking the audio part in the timeline) and then shift + click the audio you want to sync with it. Next you right click and select synchronize.

  • @alexisveron
    @alexisveron 6 лет назад +18

    I have this mic and im dissapointed not at the mic but at canon becaouse i can use it with the jack straight to the camera becaouse CANON PRE AMPS ARE HORRIBLE FULL OF NOISE

    • @GregSalazar
      @GregSalazar  6 лет назад +9

      Yep, a big reason I went with Panasonic instead. Not the best preamps, but leaps and bounds better than those in most Canons.

    • @alexisveron
      @alexisveron 6 лет назад

      Yes you can use an external recorder or tune in post but aint the point of this mic do that and canon being the almost first choice for vloggers/RUclips its a shame that they neglect such basic thing as audio quality

  • @jaso.nguyen

    How come you don't use the autosync feature in Premiere? It makes it super simple with it to do dual system audio. Still, the Micro is awesome (especially for Panasonic and Sony cameras).

      this is specifically to mount on a camera, so no. Depends on what your room is like and what you gonna record.

    • @ntnlaaron770
      @ntnlaaron770 6 лет назад

      Alexander Mustermann no , it will work , if ur pc have an audio in jack , or use a splitter if you dont have it

    • @maxmustermann194
      @maxmustermann194 6 лет назад

      Royal of course it would work, but does your pc have a coldshoe mount and does your room have audio treatment? Think about mounting.. Furthermore it doesn't have power in so you will be burning batteries. Use a USB mic ffs or a Phantom powered xlr mic with a preamp.

  • @benjamink2398
    @benjamink2398 6 лет назад

    The Movo VXR10 is pretty much the same mic for $40, guys! In fact, the VXR10 is a bit louder, so you can be just a bit farther away.

    I would like to know how you chose your mixer.
    I'm looking for a mic & mixer to get, but I'm not very specialized. I want to do voice over stuff, and entertain friends in Discord.
    Does anyone know of a jack-of-all trades solution for around $100?
    Currently, I have a Modmic 4.0 unidirectional. I get complaints on occasion because Windows will reset my mic volume and make it screech when I speak.

    @TheSalami 6 лет назад +2

    Unfortunately I have a Sony a6000, which doesn't have an external mic port. I know you can sync up audio, but with how I shoot, I just run and gun. Are there any other ways for me to get a microphone for my camera (like by modding or something of that sort) that isn't from Sony itself, since their microphone selection is terrible?

    • @joshuahsmith8192
      @joshuahsmith8192 6 лет назад

      The Salami lol no you can’t. You have to have a 3.5mm jack input. Unless there is a micro usb you might be able to use an adapter like how a GoPro would be set up.

    • @JMY1000
      @JMY1000 6 лет назад +1

      It might just be cheaper to sell your a6000 and move up to something like an a6300 or a6500.

    • @TheSalami
      @TheSalami 6 лет назад

      Yeah. Unfortunately I don't have the money for that right now.

    • @ntnlaaron770
      @ntnlaaron770 6 лет назад

      The Salami or just get a video mic me and plug it to ur smartphone and sync it in post a bit more work but it is worth it

    • @joshuahsmith8192
      @joshuahsmith8192 6 лет назад

      you can always record your audio separately. Look into Zoom recorders like the Zoom H1. This has been recently discontinued so its pretty cheap. Look on Ebay for some nice deals.

  • @Philafxs
    @Philafxs 6 лет назад +1

    Mic needs a better placement and your room seems to need some serious treatment. None of the mics sound particularly good to be frank (of course much better than any built-in microphone still). The Movo/Boya version of this mic, and any powered microphone including the Takstar, blow the VideoMicro out of the water any day, but microphones will always be limited by their surroundings, and quite audibly so in this case.

    • @joshuahsmith8192

      Yes they are the same mic. The Micro is for more on top of cameras and the MicMe is for phones.

    • @Gallowglas
      @Gallowglas 6 лет назад

      Don't bother ... the preamps of the 600d are so awful (noisy as hell), not even the Rode can produce decent soundquality.
      Ok, the Videomic PRO is working (it has an internal volume-boost (+20dB) so you can ramp up the rode preamp and turn down the canon ones, then the results are quite ok ) but it costs more ...

    I'm really conflicted about your content. On one hand you have interesting tech stuff to share (not always in my eyes, but that's beside the point) on the other, you provoke me intensely every time you finish with. "... thumbs down for the opposite *or if you hate everything about life* ". What's up with that?? Why not stop before that last part (about hating everything)?
    Have you run into so much crap/toxicity making RUclips that you consider a viewer watching your content to the end being so negative that you feel that the "option" should be there side by side with not agreeing (or whatever) and thus the viewer is giving you a thumbs down cuz the person "hates everything"?? Or do you just find it "funny"?
    I'm baffled!! And just be clear:
    I'm NOT a hater. If I don't like ,or even dislike, some random thing like a RUclips video, I look the other way, change channel or, like in this case, try to express my point of view. Even if it's not in my native language.
    So I just hope you'll stop encourage/justify a Dislike/Thumbs Down by stating "... if you hate everything about life" cuz you are NOT helping.
    People that just hit "thumbs down" and move on to the next video, often repeating them selves, without leaving a comment are often the same that just want to things BURN cuz they are in bad place and can't find any other outlet or help. Those people need help... not "encouragement or justification" - and that's what you give in form of that last part of your finishing sentence.
    Wow this became way longer than intended, but if just one person that reads this & gets the point it has been worth it ;-)
    P.S.
    The point is: Be positive!! Too much good is already being "burned" in our paradise of a planet... Don't help the *negativity* along even if is meant as a form of a joke. Negativity has too much momentum already from misinformed people ect.
