Great Interview Microphones
It's your storytelling microphone

NEVER use your camera's built-in microphone for interviews..green screen with voice..training material..news reports...customer testimonials...Web Blogs...Corporate Communications

Even iPhone users can do better then the default recording mic.

For Run and Gun Interview material...get this Sennheiser ME66 Shotgun Microphone, and a good wind screen.

Hard Wired Lavalier                            Wireless Lavalier System

Lavalier Microphones are best for recording important audio.


Two Basic types of lavalier microphones

  1. Hard wired
  2. Wireless. 
  
Hard wired.. is fine for those on a budget.. there is a wire attaching the mic to the camera..limiting movement.

There are two types of connectors at the end of these mics.  
  • XLR 
  • Male Mini Plug
Check your camera or audio adapter to see what type of input it accepts.
