Ipad Mini Microphone App

I bought this kit to allow me to record music (& videos) on my iPhone while using the music app on my iPad. The iPhone clip works very well and the Shure microphone is fabulous. I was having difficulty with the iPad microphone, this solved it very well.

I use this with my iPad while I run my Red Code app.

Very impressed. Be sure to download and use the iPad app with it.

Best IPad mini hood. I like it better than using the goggles.

Audio quality is way better than the mic in the iPad mini.

it works great with the teleprompt app on an ipad

very easy to use! the software choice is the harder one to figure out and also use. but the Glide Gear for Ipad is perfect! My Ipad wiggled without the case underneath it. So just kept the case on and no problems! I used my iphone to control the speed using Teleprompter Premium. The key is to have the ipad app loaded and turned on first then turn on iphone app and all works well.   SmartPrompt Pro is a voice activated app that sounds great in theory, but it jumps rather than scrolls smoothly and the font is too small for older speakers' eyes. Also, being voice activated, you need to make sure the ipad mic picks up clearly or the screen can freeze. To fix that you have to attach a wired mic that feeds into the ipad. So until they fix those three problems, will stay with Teleprompter Premium.  I even bought a spare mirror for $30 since I do field shoots and need to have a backup just in case. I put a arca clamp on the camera screw that is shown beneath the Glide gear plate and this allows me to do quick camera switch/lense changes. For $200 can't go wrong!

So, I purchased the Shure MV7 Podcast Microphone Kit with Blue Compass Premium Tube-Style Boom Arm (Black) and I must say I don't have any regrets. Off the top, there is one thing that I wish were different, but nonetheless, these products are pretty amazing.  Firstly, the Shure MV7 Podcast Microphone is remarkably impressive in the construction, sound quality, and remarkable depth of controls that you have via the Shure Desktop Motiv app or the on-mic controls. This brings me to the thing that wished were different. The connectivity of the app. Shure does provide access to both a desktop and a smartphone app (that you will have to download) but the microphone can only be connected to the devices using wires. It would be more convenient if they were able to connect wirelessly (via WiFi or/and Bluetooth). Once connected to your device the mic can be used or it can also be used by connecting to an audio device using an XLR cord. (regular microphone cable). The Shure MV7 Podcast Microphone is an incredible option for content creators without the needed accessories like cloud lifter and the likes, which other microphones in that category demands. This saves you money, time (as it is faster and easier to set up), and it is more compact and less of a distraction while in use. Lastly, the Blue Compass Premium Tube-Style Boom Arm is smooth, modern, and extremely pleasant to look upon. The Boom Arm is impressively designed and helps tremendously with cable management. The cable fits snuggly in the arm. The boom arm is not bulky and is built very sturdily. Once, the microphone is mounted, it is very easy to adjust the boom arm for perfect positioning. I LOVE THIS!!!

I mount my iPad mini in my airplane with this and it works perfectly.

Wonderful size for an iPad mini and has three pockets for all the accessories.
