Hi Craig, great video! Quick question: What microphone is that? Is your room relatively quiet? It sounds nice where your voice is isolated really well.

[@craigneidel]

Thanks for watching. I actually have a link to the mic in the video description and it's a Tonor. More of a budget mic that was sent to me but it works pretty good as only about $50 to $70 depending if you want the stand.

A rock solid mic that's used by all the US presidents is the shure sm57 with an additional pop filter.

[@craigneidel]

@@shaunod6745 yes that's the most common mic on planet but around 300 bucks

Very scientific 😄 What matters to me is I can go all day on one battery charge, and still have some left over in the morning.

[@craigneidel]

Me too but how many hours if you had to guess?

[@bryans8656]
