Vlogging Cameras Without External Mic

The Ulanzi vlogging cage is perfect for attaching lense filters and an external mic and light with the cold shoes. My GoPro mic adapter sits nice and securely in the holder. Great Quality and very durable!

I use the SMX-10 with my Canon Vixia HV30 for interviews. Without an external mic, there is just too much unwanted noise and not enough focus on my interview subject. The SMX-10 is a very affordable solution which meets all of my needs-light weight, clear sound, unobtrusive and easy to use. There is no battery level indicator, but that is a minor concern weighed against price.

Works for vlogging really well. Good mic to start out with

The Olympus ME-52 noise-cancelling microphone has several unique features that make it attractive to our particular needs. I am the operations manager of the journalism dept. at a small Christian university, and we have recently upgraded to the BlackMagic Design Pocket Cinema cameras for recording interviews for our weekly student-run newscasts. The BMD cameras have an external mic jack, and I needed an external lapel mic that records with good audio level and quality, reject wind and other noises, and preferably does not require a battery that may die or (worse) leak. The ME-52 detaches from its short 3.5mm cable connector, and I combine it with a Rode 10 ft extension cable. This allows me to put the lapel mic, wind screen, and swiveling lapel clip in a small case, which in turn goes in the BMD case. I keep the Rode extension cable in a separate compartment in the BMD case. The swiveling mic clip is an added bonus: it quickly adapts for male or female shirt lapels, and can be switched easily without detaching for either side of a jacket. Detaching the mic from the cable also aids in routing the cable through clothing. For our purposes, this mic and accessories as such is almost perfect, and the results are excellent (especially for the price).

Great external mic for small cameras. It fits perfectly on my Sony PMW 100. This small camera requires a small shotgun. The pick-up pattern works very well. Also, there are two XLR connectors for left and right channels. A little mic for a little camera!

I use it to mount GoPo cameras on mic stands as well as to mount an external camera monitor on a table top mic stand for client viewing. Works great.

While the first RX0 was revolutionary, there were still many limitations that made it a tough sell for many hobbyist photographers. In order to get the best results, it required a pro set up (external recorder for 4K, as well as an external monitor to actually see what you were recording, and a gimbal to stabilize the footage). I know this because I shot a short film using only the RX0. Sony gave me the new RX0II to test out and heres what I think. Not only does this update address those issues for hobbyist filmmakers, it adds a flip out screen, making it IMO the ultimate camera for an entirely new sector of creators: vloggers. It literally fits in your pocket, is protected against water, dropping (even crushing), etc. If you can a dual mount and a handle that puts the mic off to the side, its still wayyyy lighter than even Sonys a6400, also great for vlogging.  If you have a main camera, and want the ultimate camera B for travel content creation or vlogging (heck, even the photos Ive taken on the RX0 are legit), this is a must have in the tool kit. Squeeze it into a tight space, hang it out the window, take it underwater, it kind of does it all, now in 4K internally. Like I said the original had some setbacks, but this one is a no brainer.

This is a amazing mic. It does what I need for vlogging! It's worlds better then the built in mic on my Canon 80D

This Mic is everything you could expect for a self contained desktop mic. Without any special software this mic worked on both Windows Vista and OSX 10.6.2. I used it with Logic Express and Audacity and it worked great. The mic has 3 settings which come in handy cardioid, cardioid -10db pad, and omnidirectional. The sound quality is something you would expect from a professional handheld cardioid mic.

If you have the Media Mod then there's no need for a Mic Adapter to use External Mic. External Mic can be Plugged into the Media Mod as there is Slot available in the Media Mod to connect the external mic and it works perfectly alright.
