I really wanted to get the rode videomic me-L but hearing your sample it sounds a bit disappointing and tingy.

    You have a error in your video regarding the TRS connection on professional microphones. The professional microphone that you are using with the trs adapter is not stereo but balanced audio. Ground, Hot and Neutral. You need the ground for phantom power on condenser microphones as they require voltage to operate. TRS connectors can be found in a wide range of applications such as stereo headphones but in this application you are taking balanced audio and converting it to the trs connector with the phone.

    I've been using the Shure MV88 for recording my concerts and also for some vlogs. The mic sounds amazing and I love it. However, I was really annoyed to find out that you have to use it in airplane mode (so no livestreaming), because it grabs interference from cell connections or wifi! Other than that it's perfect and built like a tank. If you wan't to livestream, avoid this mic.

      How you do think this mic would be for recording standup comedy sets? All rooms sound different and I’m looking to cut down on some of the echoey-ness of certain rooms. Will this help with that?

    • @Gmakamian
      @Gmakamian 2 года назад

      @@MarioTontiComedy the only way to cut down on echo, is to have the mic placed close to the source (in this case your mouth). If a room has echo, a mic cannot fix it. The room has to be treated, or your have to put the mic very close to you. The only mics that could somewhat help are shotgun mics, but don't expect wonders.

  • @YourDriverMike
    @YourDriverMike 6 лет назад +20

    I currently use both the RODE SmartLav+ and the RODE VideoMic Me (previous model) with my iPhone 7. Like Sean mentions if you want a mic that’s richer/deeper in sound and fantastic for podcast style narration go with the shotgun VideoMic Me (L).
    The SmartLav+ (definitely with extension cord) is what I use for my general talking-head style videos. Not as rich in sound but still solid for reducing most (but not all) echo.

    • @CoolerkingsOutdoorAdventures
      @CoolerkingsOutdoorAdventures 6 лет назад

      When you’re using the SmartLav+, are you using filmic pro for the video..?
      The reason I ask is that I’m struggling with the SmartLav+ and the input volume in filmicpro in my iPhoneX. I have been using the videomic pro with filmic pro for a long time and have had no issues with it. The SmartLav+ just seems so quiet and I can’t seem to get it any louder.

  • @hughmnyks
    @hughmnyks 6 лет назад +4

    I too have - and love the sound of - a Shure MV88. I use it with an iPad mini 4, but when I’m outdoors and have the iPad in a Griffin Survivor case, I use either a CableJive dockStub (with a piece of duct tape to ensure the mic doesn’t fall off) or a dockXtender cable from the same company. Both have worked great for over a year now, tho’ you do have to keep an eye on the LED to make sure the mic stays connected. You must plug the mic into the stub or cable _before_ attaching to the I-device.
    On my Nokia 8 Android phone I use another solution: using FilmicPro, I attach a ZOOM H2n by USB mini to USB-C OTG cable, taking power from the phone. This gives you great quality stereo sound and even 4-channel or spatial sound. You can also use dead cat outdoors. You can also use the two devices separately and sync sound and vision in post.

  • @JohnTSteinbeck

  • @PeterAlanJohnson
    @PeterAlanJohnson 4 года назад +3

    Make sure you always balance the volume between microphones when comparing- when you switch to the Shure lav at around 11:50 there is a big jump in volume. It is standard practice as not to do this favours the loudest unfairly.

  • @PhatSimey
    @PhatSimey 4 года назад +4

    Very informative video, but please look up definition of "dongle". All those cables and add-ons you feature are adapters / converters, not dongles. A dongle plugs into something and has nothing connected to the other end!

  • @TheVoiceClub
    @TheVoiceClub 5 лет назад +1

    Just Incase it helps, the reason the Shure mic on;y sounds great closer up is because it’s ‘omnidirectional’ (1-direction...not the boyband) it’s meant to function best 4-6” from the voice. The Rhode is also omnidirectional...BUT, Rhode uses higher quality guts so while it’s best closer, it still does a fab job a little further out. Add that fuzzy screen & you actually have the same quality potential as major tv camera mics had a decade ago.. Omnidirectional are for close up, shotgun mics are for 2+feet away. The Rhode is the closest to the best of both worlds, since a similar quality shotgun will start waaaay higher. Rhode’s brand is best in the lower priced tech right now. (I’ve worked with all of these as a commercial audio producer) If you’re gonna do video/audio for a year+, splurge for the Shure or Rhode (not the lavalier)

    Smart lav sounds great! Better than Rode micro. There is an adapter that would allow you to have two smart lavs for interviews. Add the dongle and you can use the lavs on DLSR.
    BUT two smart lavs connected to the adapter is still one audio input, so editing audio is tough. Especially if your second talker isn’t talking at the same level as you. Something to consider.

    I actually went with two Zoom H1 recorder's the new one and older one for recording audio. I found it more flexible for recording audio because I can use the Zoom H1's at longer distances away from the camera. I can use it as a shot gun microphone. The only challenge is that I have to sync the audio after the fact in FCP X which is really no big deal.

    I’ve used the Shure mic for two years and have mostly great things to say. Portable and easy to use (used it to vlog in 7 countries this summer, no problem). But I have had several issues with functionality - I’ve shot videos only to discover the mic didn’t recorder any audio at all. Super frustrating, but who’s to say if that’s the mic or the phone itself. 🤷🏻‍♀️ And lately it’s had some static and feedback issues (that I think are from picking up waves or surrounding cell signals - doesn’t seem to happen if I shoot in airplane mode).

    • @DestinyGuerra
      @DestinyGuerra 6 лет назад

      The Mv88 👍🏼 Everything you said about the pros is 100% true. And it’s still the only mic I use, just wish I didn’t dread hitting that play button every time after recording and waiting to see if it just failed to record the best take of a song or 20 minutes of content.

      Could be app and memory related.
      Sound recordings often stop if memorystorage is limited even though still not full, so empty apps and pictures you don’t need for the moment and maybe you’ll be happier with recordings.
      My findings on iOS and good apps (but not MV-88).

    I know this is an older review but I appreciate it still. I think one of my biggest issues with the on-phon varieties like the MV88 and the VideoMic Me L is that a case may interfere. I hate that most video packages and options require me to remove my phone from the case. Also, power quickly becomes an issue since iPhone only has the one port. Any solution that allos power while running and gunning video?

    Still watching but so far the MV-88 was the best to me. Do you have any solutions for mobile on-the-go podcasting with multiple external mics for interviewing multiple people simultaneously and not having to either hold a mic in their faces or have them hand off the mics to each other?

I actually use a splitter and have 2 of these lavalier mics running into my iphone 8 for 2 people interviews. I am really happy with the sound quality of this inexpensive set-up. The guy at the source doubted that 2 would work but it does and very well.

    "Crispy, crispy, crispy, crispy"!, there has to be another word to describe clean audio, or maybe just "crisp" like many audio professionals use. Love your videos, but "crispy" has been driven into the ground on this channel. Break it up with "clear, undistorted, accurate etc. Same with visuals, instead of "crispy", go for "sharp, accurate, great acuity or definition". Crispy, crispy, crispy...
