Hi Ben. I haven’t watched the video yet but I just wanted to ask something. So I have a RUclips channel where I sing sometimes, and for all three years that I’ve had my channel, I’ve used only my phone to record so the audio quality…it’s not bad, but I know it could be better. (Or at least I hope so. I don’t want to buy a mic and then see that the audio quality has not changed in the slightest) But yeah, I have the chance to buy a mini microphone. It’s very tiny, one that you just plug into your phone. It says it’s a Lavalier microphone. I guess my question is, should I buy it? Will this microphone drastically improve the sound quality? I don’t have a lot of options. This one’s less than 5 dollars, and others are more expensive😅😅 I’d really appreciate your feedback and advice, thank you in advance! Sorry by the way if this comment sounds all over the place
It's not clear when you're demonstrating the audio from the unit you're talking about. I don't really hear a difference in the audio between the different units, and I'm not even sure if you're demonstrating them, or just talking about them.
hello, currently what do you think is the best lavalier to connect to the tascam h1n (which from what i understand is the best at that price) under 100 dollars? thank you!
@@benjohnsoncreative Not really. They can be used similarly to Lav Mic but it would be similar to me saying I'm reviewing a lav mic and reviewed a Zoom H1N. It can be used as a lav too with enough tape.
I disagree - I prefer to charge via USB. How is your logic when you say that batteries are modern and better for filming? Nonetheless another good video
Hi Ben, We have the new IDOLCAM VlogStar V2 shotgun/Lavalier microphone in one, small size, perfect for vlogging, can we send you one for the next mic review you are doing?
Still valid! I do have other videos about different types of ways to record audio (ruclips.net/p/PLXZBTG3d3_QUksNeDx7WxGVGcD7Q7iIYE) but this is still relevant for Lav mics
I know right?! Don’t worry I’ve gotten much faster at getting to the goods in my recent videos. This was an old one when I was still learning. Thank you for feedback like this because it helps me get better at serving you in the future
i am starting on youtube and i am still a student :) can u suggest a good studio camera that I can use in a room and get great quality video :) waiting for your valuable input :)
Thanks Ben. Can I ask if you have worse audio quality using the Rode Go plugged directly into an iPhone? Mine has so much white noise on any gain setting that I can’t deal with it. I have a dr60d that I record into now and sync later.. audio is a nightmare for me haha
@@benjohnsoncreative Just a small room with wood floors, but I have blankets and rugs around. Occasionally outside. It’s literally just the system or the phone itself, it has very little to do with the recording. Curtis Judd said something about the signal being converted to a high impedance signal or something like that.. but I just think it gives me unusable audio unless it’s going to an external recorder
Hey Ben, Debating between the LAV set up or a traditional mic for Gopro talking head/interview. Thanks for posting this👍 Leaning toward lav (no stand needed).
Love your videos always from thailand. Quick question, in Thailand we dont wear jacket coz its hot so we only wear t shirt, the clipping on the t shirt is not nice to see on visual. Any reccomendation ?
Yes there is a duct tape hack. I will try to show it in a future video, but there are some existing on RUclips now. If you search something like “lapel mic duct tape hack” or “how to hide a lapel mic” you may find it
It all depends on your budget and the way you are using it. If you want wireless I like the rode go, if you want stability and don’t mine syncing audio later than the Tasman is a great choice
Sounds like a stupid question, but do you think I will have a better sound using airpod mic or do you think I should get a Lav mic and get a better sound that way?
For sure it is a bit pricey but overall very affordable compared to traditional options for high quality audio! With that said, I’d look into the Pixel Voical air 2 as it’s cheaper and still good!
@@benjohnsoncreative I decided to go with the Tascam DR-10L and was wondering how these work with interview style videos if both parties have one Tascam unit. Will you have to run both files at the same time in the video?
Hey, I just found your channel today. I'm a new content creator in Marietta. I'm struggling with subscribers and watcher retention. Glad to have found your channel.
Hey Zoey! I plan on making some tips on this soon, but the overall takeaway is this: Don't focus too much on growing the subscriber count, but instead focus heavily on adding value to the existing subscribers that are trusting you with their time! Others will come because of this
@@benjohnsoncreative Thanks so much on getting back. I agree. I'm working on improving the quality of content. My problem seems to be the retention level.
Thanks for your tips. Im looking for a customer svc lav mic with earpc to be attached together if possible. What would you recommend as i need to use it daily to pick up calls. Currently i hv a fifine 683A mic where i plug in using a normal earpc
Was about to buy the purple panda, but you’ve swayed me. The audio on both is surprisingly similar. Price difference is shocking. But I like the idea of being cordless too much to compromise. Thanks for your help Ben!
Question: I just bought the Tascam on your rec. If you're doing an interview with the lavalier mic will it be able to pic up the other person's audio or will they need to have a mic as well?
@@benjohnsoncreative Although I have used and loved the DR-10L I have not purchased my own because I was always thinking to myself that, it's been out so long a newer better version for sure will be on it's way. But I think I have been waiting in vain because there isn't much room for improvement thus a newer version probably won't be on the horizon for a while. I'll probably pick 2 up this cyber monday.
@@benjohnsoncreative im not understanding why everyone wants the rode wireless go... you need a transceiver which is wired and needs to be charged and it mixes the audio so it isn't separate. I'm even seeing audio and dslr guys hyping it. Its also line of site... if something blocks or messes with the transmission your 1 audio source is jacked. With wired that can never happen.
@@shorttermsage Everyone wants microwave production. They don't want to go through the hassle of syncing the audio, but it is often at the expense of losing it all together haha, oh well. As a wedding filmmaker I can't afford to lose audio. So that's why I trust the Tascam!
Ben I have two Tascam DR-10L units and syncing up in post two individuals on the street talking is a living nightmare. Though the individuals are four to five feet apart you get pre-echo. You have to completely reduce the sound of one of the subjects speaking to have usable sound. If you try to sync both units and lower the sound of one of the units while the other person stops talking which many people suggest that I do is ridiculous. To do this it would sound unnatural because usually when one person is talking the other person man interject something at the same time the other person is speaking. Have you actually used the Tascam system while two people are speaking four or five feet from one another? Seems to me the Tascam is only good when one person is talking.
Audio makes my head spin, wireless audio makes my head explode! I love the idea of the Tascam and the multiple audio tracks at different levels - and no dropouts. Btw, your Tascam DR-10L link is incorrect in the description
Yes! Wireless audio makes my head explode too haha. Great concept but not always great in the real world. And THANK YOU! Just updated to the correct link 😎
Purchased two of the Tascam mics with cards, windscreens, and batteries. An 86% 5-star rating on Amazon should mean that they're a great buy for the money.
@@benjohnsoncreative I just got them and set them up. Quick question: When you set your dual recording, do you set the second recording to -6db or -12db?
Nice video, Ben! I purchased the Voical Air due to its "all-in-one" appeal. However, when I use this mic my voice skips and cuts in and out. This causes my sound to be utterly useless. Do you know what may cause this? Thanks!
Usually if you are experiencing audio drops it could be due to wireless interference. This is ultimately why I like the tascam dr 10l as mentioned in the vid
Nice video as usual! The SmartLav+ has great versatility as it works with both smartphones and cameras (with an adapter). Which Lav do you recommend for connecting directly to a mirrorless camera?
Thanks, Ben for the tips and suggestions. This has been a struggle for me to get good audio. I went with the Tascam based on your experience. Here is to better audio. 🍻✌🏻😉
I edit in Final Cut Pro x and it has built in syncing software. What I used prior to that was a program called “plural eyes” it is compatible with premiere and other editors
Hey Ben, loved the video. I have a quick question. I would like to use 6-8 lav mics for a audio and visual podcast I am starting up. How would that work? Would I be able to use 6-8 for 6-8 people In one video. Or is there a better option for a group that size.
Ben Johnson yes I was thinking to set each person up with their own lav mic and would there be a way to capture sound from that many mics to one camera?
Can I invite you to test our microphone? No need to exaggerate our products, just let others understand our products better, welcome to the US for free testing
Quick question the rode wireless microphone can you clip in hide it from your shirt so u won’t get exposed?
You can clip it inside, with the right wardrobe choice you can hide it well
Great video.
What would you recommend for starting to record video gameplay vids?
Thnx in adv!

Look at my shirt and follow the chapter markers, it switches each time I change the unit, and I am using the unit I’m talking about each time
Hey Ben 🙂 I really Really like this video and im impresed on your low amount of subs 😔 you deserve it 1000 times more than other RUclipsrs 😀
Thanks Gaming!
Not that low...now
the thing about the road go i dont like its just to big, i would love to buy a mic that will be not noticable at all if possible... unlucky
Just did a review of a newer, smaller wireless mic that I’m loving! Check it out: ruclips.net/video/Rlz2YQdFTlI/видео.html
hello, currently what do you think is the best lavalier to connect to the tascam h1n (which from what i understand is the best at that price) under 100 dollars? thank you!
This doesn’t quite answer the question but these days this is my favorite lav set up: ruclips.net/video/Rlz2YQdFTlI/видео.html
Kimafun Microphone?
Interesting vid but was fooled by title. This is about wireless mikes not lav mikes.
They are all wireless lav mics
@@benjohnsoncreative ah I stand corrected, I thought a lav and lapel Mike are the same thing.
Should be titled "Best Portable Microphone Solutions" or something, not really going over lav mics.
These are lav mics for videography
@@benjohnsoncreative Not really. They can be used similarly to Lav Mic but it would be similar to me saying I'm reviewing a lav mic and reviewed a Zoom H1N. It can be used as a lav too with enough tape.
I disagree - I prefer to charge via USB. How is your logic when you say that batteries are modern and better for filming? Nonetheless another good video
They are better because you can have multiple on long shoot days, and continue to record without having to stop and charge
@@benjohnsoncreative That's a relevant point and a good one. For longer shoots it would be better. Thanks for commenting and answering ☺️
@@HeatSeekingMouse love the convenience of USB charge tho for most things :)
I love your videos, still wondering why you have less views
Thank you! Just a new RUclipsr out here, thankful for each view I get! 🙏🏻

I have a weed channel and there's a lot of noise from fans and AC which one will block the wind sound the best?
I’d go with the tascam and use a wind cover over the Lav mic
Hi is this video still valid or do you have an updated version?
Still valid! I do have other videos about different types of ways to record audio (ruclips.net/p/PLXZBTG3d3_QUksNeDx7WxGVGcD7Q7iIYE) but this is still relevant for Lav mics

Hey Ben 👋🏾 I'm here in Atlanta as well. My wife and I want to do a youtube podcast. What mic do you recommend?
If you’ve got a decent budget I’d recommend this mic : amzn.to/3Enrh6E
Unbelievable that you don’t talk about microphones until one minute into the video. Thanks for wasting everyone’s time

I’d imagine the camera has a better pre-amp than the phones which is why, what sort of environment is your audio being captured in?
@@benjohnsoncreative Just a small room with wood floors, but I have blankets and rugs around. Occasionally outside.

Hey Ben,
Debating between the LAV set up or a traditional mic for Gopro talking head/interview. Thanks for posting this👍
Leaning toward lav (no stand needed).
I usually prefer lavs or mics that are not in frame (with the exception of live streams). It’s all personal preference
@Ben Johnson I was wondering about the LAV sound quality. I ended up grabbing the Rode videomic.
Love your videos always from thailand. Quick question, in Thailand we dont wear jacket coz its hot so we only wear t shirt, the clipping on the t shirt is not nice to see on visual. Any reccomendation ?
Yes there is a duct tape hack. I will try to show it in a future video, but there are some existing on RUclips now. If you search something like “lapel mic duct tape hack” or “how to hide a lapel mic” you may find it
@@benjohnsoncreative curious how that works on rode wireless go
Which one did you use in your intro? Also does the lavalier quality matters?
I believe I used neither in the intro. I think I used my zoom h6 which is what I typically use for my in studio stuff
@@benjohnsoncreative do you use any software in post? Any tips on that? Equalizer , pan, reverb adjustments
So which is the best?
It all depends on your budget and the way you are using it. If you want wireless I like the rode go, if you want stability and don’t mine syncing audio later than the Tasman is a great choice
Great video! You should review the purple panda lav mic.
Haven’t heard of that one but I’ll look into it!
Sounds like a stupid question, but do you think I will have a better sound using airpod mic or do you think I should get a Lav mic and get a better sound that way?
Lav mic will be better :)

I’ve got some plans for giveaways in the future stay tuned!
Is every sound is being recorded by each mic??
Yup!
Does anyone know which software will sync the mic/camera audio? thanks
Your editing software may have a syncing feature, Final Cut does! But I’ve used Plural Eyes in the past to sync as well!
@@benjohnsoncreative I appreciate the response thank you! I've switched from final cut to adobe premier so I'll take a look

I would go for a cardioid
@@benjohnsoncreative Thanks! I just hope it will be able to pick up my voice as well and not just the other persons.
