⚡ QOTD: What microphones are you using right now? Let me know! 👇👇👇 Check out my best BUDGET smartphone microphone series here: bit.ly/BudgetSmartphoneMics
I have several mics that serve different purposes. My main Mic is my blue yeti for it's plug and play eas of use, a snowball as a back up. For gaming I use a pair of VModa headphones with a book Mic pro chat cable (review on my channel, #VRA)
If I am recording a Voice Over or client work I use a Blue Spark plugged into a Zoom H6. If im doing anything on camera or recording g interviews I have the Shotgun Mic attachment for the H6. Live events I have a Sure SM48.
For run and gun situations and scratch/backup audio I have a ride vidmic go.
But! My favorite by FAR is my set of Zoom H1s. One black and one blue, Batman and Superman respectively. I use these with small table tripods to record Podcasts, Auditions on the run, lectures, my thoughts, basically everything. I think everyone's first audio purchase should be a Zoom H1. It's a great place to start learning and it's form factor makes it more powerful as you start to learn more about audio.
Would this work with the Anchor app for podcasts?
Think Media I’m also using the IK multimedia iRig Mic HD 2 that wires right to my iPhone or iPad Air 2. I also carry an extra 9000 milliamperes power supply for when my iPhone or iPad get low on power.
dual UWMIC-9 lavs and video micro
Think Media what’s that rig holding the iPhone to the joby pod
If Rode added another Lightning port to charge at the same time too, that would've blown my mind. Possibly even give it a "daisy chain" - that would be nuts.
Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and helping creators. Great video.
That is a cool set-up, Im using a Insignia now. $20 at best buy, def need to upgrade. Shout out to everyone who made it out to Grow with Video Live!
I film with my iPhone 7 and RODE Smart Lav+. I recently did a collab with my brother and had to pass the mic back and forth for questions and answers lol this would've been great!
Hey Sean! Great video as always mate, glad you dig the SC6-L!
Does it work with Facebook LIVE?
@@UpliftSpac3 Does it work with Facebook Live
St. Joseph's Health does it?
@@UpliftSpac3 It does
I use two SmartLav mics into the SC-6 and then run one extension into my iPad for recording using Voice Record app. This app is has a very easy to use wifi download built in.
John Alesi nice setup!
Think Media Here’s an interview I did with my set up in an outdoors setting with a waterfall behind us! I was still able to capture great sound. ua-cam.com/video/V8aonk-v8PM/v-deo.html
Were you recording the video with the same iPad or just syncing audio/video in post?
Great video!! I have been using the insignia lav mic for my iPhone! I will actually be using that microphone for my livestream tonight on my channel 💯 Id love to level up to this kit eventually so I can have 2 people on my Live Show 👊🏻
I just bought the SC6-L connector and love it.
can you run it with a "lightning splitter" so you can still charge the iphone/ipad at the same time?
Jon Tulio yes but it will not work with the SC6-L. I had to use a different dongle. If you look at my UA-cam page ua-cam.com/users/Capd209 I did a video on the dongle that is needed and microphone.
2023 : MOVO Duo Lavs are my choice. Transmitters are themselves microphones and have lavs with dead cats that do not pop off when using them. The receiver has a headphone jack too. Both trans and receivers have LED monitor levels and controls for gain. Absolutely no drop outs even when line of site is broken by multiple walls or at a great distance. Combine or separate channels.
Brother, I don't subscribe to much, but I just watched three of your videos and you helped me determine what mics to get. From the Shure MV88, to the Rode Interview Kit (pieces of it), to teaching me about TRRS and TRS I've enjoyed your videos. Looking forward to combining some of these pieces with my PolarPro iPhone 11 LiteChaser Pro Kit, which allows the MV88 to be plugged in without taking off the case!
I'm going to a conference in a month where I'll be shooting for my YT channel and I'm sure it will be loud in the conference hall. I have the Rode Wireless Go... that I plan to use for stand-ups and maybe use it as a handheld mic for interviews in the booths. Any affordable suggestions? I would love to be able to do something small, lightweight and easy. I'd love a handheld wireless stick mic, but I can't afford them.
Okay now this is seriously cool. Love how compact it is. Easy to always have it on you. Handy as hell!
To answer your question regarding mic options for smartphones. 1. iRig Mic plugs into iPhone. You CAN pass a handheld back and forth for interviews. News reporters do it all the time. Actually, adds credibility and looks very professional. 2. Plug Rode Smart Lav+ with adapter into a Zoom H1 or other audio recorder. Don't need to worry about long cord. Sync audio in post. 3. I LOVE the Saramonic SmartRig+. Flexible solution for numerous mic options including XLR connection, preamps, etc. TRRS into iPhone/lightning adapter.
Using Rode Video Mic Me for travel videos using my Galaxy S7, sounds so much crisper and the deadcat really helps when talks in windy situation like at the top of mountain...
Shure MOTIV MV88 iOS Digital Stereo Condenser Microphone is the mic I am currently using for my videos. It works great and I can even narrow the direction to dim down the sounds of my fan blowing behind me or any of the kiddoes running around in the background, ha!
For mics, I'm a big fan of Rhode. Thank you for another great video! Super helpful and your tips helped me up my production game!
I've not done a lot of interview formats due to the lack of hardware solutions. This package may be just what I need. This should work really well for Anchor.fm podcast.
wow great review. I almost bought this and the short cable length is definitely a deal reaker.
Looks like a great kit. Only drawback would be that you cannot charge the phone while recording. Just like you said in your „Best Smartphonen Accessories“ video that this is the reason you don‘t like lightning jack mics.
I used a BOYA lav mic. I was serious thinking, “how can I use a lab mic with headphones to do a zoom call? This video helped me. Thanks! I will be using these tools for church conferences and meeting during COVID-19.
So happy I found this channel ! Thank you for all the info.
Hi, I understand that the sc6-L system works perfectly for interviews, but if you are going to do an interview with Facebook Live or Instagram Live and one person is for example in Miami and the other in Spain and you connect the SC6 to the iPhone these people will Listen to each other and simultaneously in streaming
I have the old style Rode SmartLav+ and the SC6
Wow this sounds fantastic!
I do have the Boya BY MM1DM dual Lavalier... which works great.... I also have one BY MM1 and a generic lapel which I plug on different old android & iphones I got as a recorder...
Perfect, just what I was looking for, thanks Sean!
This video was AMAZING! Thank you so much!
Great solution for a super mobile interview setup! I have a friend who could definitely use this. For our interview setups, we use some MOVO LV-02 lav mics with a Zoom H6 recorder that feeds into our SlingStudio Hub. For my vlog stuff, I use the Rode VideoMicro, and for my talking head stuff, the Video Mic.
loving my takstar shotgun mic for my sl2 set up. Definitely gonna look into these lapels though... dope vid man!
Thanks for all the helpful tips and tricks Think Media
On a more serious note:
would it not be cheeper to just purchase a lighting port extension chord rather than two microphone extension chords?
That is a super cool setup, love Rhode mics I think they are the best in the market for casual vlogging I have one for my DSLR camera. I do recently got a Boya BY-M1 thanks to your recommendation for Facebook videos that I use with my iPhone, so far I'm loving it. Thanks you for all these videos, I keep growing as a content creator.
Sean can you make a video about how to increase cpm on youtube that would be an great help because you do it very clearly and everybody can understand that
I use a shure sm7b. It's expensive, but it's a great voice mic. Shure mics in general are great though.
I have using rode ravalier without converter, just connecting to my android, and recording on sony recorder app from playstore. And tadaaa" it's best voice recording.
I use my iPhone to broadcast LIVE on FB Live with the PowerDeWise mic, but looking for a better mic to record when I play the piano live. For interviews, I use OBS software because many of the people I interview are out of state, so that is the best option for me. I use a Yeti mic when I am interviewing via OBS. The people that I interview are using Skype sometimes that can get sketchy sounding but with the software, I can pretty much monitor them and they sound really great when I edit the replay.
Thank you for the videos Sean, you're so helpful!
Great video. Helped a lot
I dont even have a iPhone and i still loved this video.
Great review much appreciated
Sean, why haven't you made a video about counterfeit equipment and how important it is to buy from authorized dealers of Rode and canon products etc.? This is a huge deal and you help sell tons of electronic products online and many are fake. Please make this video! I would like to start making videos again and need new equipment. I almost got taken a few weeks ago and decided to check on fakes. Low and behold, it was and I took the right steps to get a refund. There are not enough videos out there about this topic and you influence so many people that it should be part of your brand. Thank you for the motivation and quality videos that you impart on the rest of us. I have learned so much and will be making major changes and starting a new channel too! Thanks!
It's definitely a good sounding kit, however, I hate how they give you a short length of cable
knowing you will have to purchase extra length, when they could have easily made it a good length to begin with!
Thank you so much for another great review
Love from London ❤️
@@videoinfluencers I am ur big Fan trust me.. I have learned a lot from u.. I hope one day I will be successful too.. lots of love brother
Or for the same price you can buy an H4N zoom, and have a lot more for your money. Rode charges waaaaay too much for this. This is worth $60.00, not $200.00.
Fantastic Video!! I like the Graphics on the intro. What software do you use to get that type of effect on the clips as they appear onscreen?
Thank you Sean. Will this kit also work for Facebook Live?
Sean awesome video like always man
Great👍Review
Kit is a bit expensive. Like the app design. For radio news - looks like a winner...
Boya. Working great so far.
Just found your channel 👍😊
Can you film with the same phone as you record the audio?
Great share, thank you! Would you suggest to go this route rather than purchasing a Zoom recorder?
I just use a lapel mic. I take black clean stick to clip the mic on it and use that as a microphone. It is the cheapest. But I know I need to upgrade to something like in the video.
This would have been perfect if you could adjust each mic's input gain separately...
"Now your investment is getting pretty *fuc......... high up." Sean about to keep it REAAALLLY real!!! hahahahaha!!
Great Info .. 👍
Super helpful, thank you
Is this a good option when recording music? Vocalist & guitarist? Or is there a better option to capture the vocals & guitar best?
looks like a good solution however: but price is high (seems like) and added extension cords really drive up the price. thanks for the video.
Did you have to record on your phone
too bad you didn't mention it doesn't separate the mic's when using in with the phone camera. seems like you checked it at 6:04. I would have expected that from a review.
Great video indeed ! I've still got a question for you : I know it's not a problem for you, since it's obviously used for interviews (talking voice). But now try singing a long note into your mic. I'm wondering if you also get this clicking and annoying sound (like a metronome set on 45 bpm). I'm a musician and have to use this kind of setup (jack to lightning) to record my live concerts through my phone. I can't get rid of this annoying click..I guess it's due to the lightning port technology..any ideas? it happens with everything I tried (2 different iPhones, iPad, apple dongles, apple headphones w/ the mic, ...). Thank you !
Thanks for the amazing video. Can you suggest any interview kit mic which is similar but for Android. Thanks.
Even though the Rode Wireless Go system wasn't out when this video was made, it is now so have you (or anyone else) tried it with the SC6-L? And my OTHER question of the day is can you connect the SC6-L directly into your MacBook Pro to bypass the internal mic?
Not sure if you guys have done a vid on this subject before. But can you do one on attachment lenses for filming with Galaxy phones? Sorry if that was too specific.
Great review! Tfs.
Great video and very informative. Any recommendation for a directional mic for interviews? I see the advantage to get the best quality and that the cords for this Rode SC6-L is short and I wonder if I am better off investing on a directional mic even for interviews. Can you recommend any?
I’m searching for an adapter for charging the iPhone while using at the same time the SC6L. It must be of course an adapter without lightning port and that allows audio.
What if your on Andriod please?
I currently have the rodefilmer maker, Wireless, i'm considering to re sell it, not happy with how much it catch the ambient sound over the voice. Everytime i go to a conference i got screwd by those microphone =/, trying to play with -20 to +20db but always the same problem of ambient sound taking over the voice.
Aqua Splendor I bought the new Rode TX M2 Wireless because I had the same problem. I used my hand held wireless and paired to my Filmmaker receiver going into my iPhone 8 Plus. I wouldn’t sell your Filmmaker Kit because you can use it in other situations instead of a conference.
Aqua Splendor also put a wind cover over the mic even in doors to help cut out some of the ambient noise.
Buy the bare kit and switch to the boya mics maybe?
That could be a watch to save some money for sure!
I use a ZOOM h4nPro but I need a boom mic soon😉
I didn't do interviews. But yes for VO, I did recording in washroom. Lol
Think media Please tell me what should i do !! Web developer career or UA-cam career ???
Do both!
Very big difference between the standard mic and this one
Your videos nice bro
great video Think Media!
I just would like to know if RODE SC6-L is compatible with any Lightning Audio + Charge Dongle as well?
perhaps if I were to monitor the audio while interviewing and as well as keep the phone device charging.
thanks in advance!
can you use their wireless kit with that converter?
Great job...dane
Can you use this for lives on different platforms?
Could I use 1 input for a Lav and one input for music? Basically a mini mixer? :)
We have a decent distance of about 6 feet where we shoot our snow. Can you add extender cables to the mica without lag.
Are there any wireless mics for android that won't break the bank?
Does this work for calls? Like if I were to answer a call would the audio be sourced from the external microphones? That’s what I’m looking to do.
Can I use it as a mixer for 2 sets of Rode wireless go?
can split one of the mics and interview two people?
What is the best microphone to use on the iPad Pro 11 inch 2018 model
Awesome
Is this kit compatable with the Anchor podcast platform?
Something similar for Samsung?
Good reviews, here's what I don't like, it's only for Apple devices. My love for Apple devices is mild at best. I don't use an apple phone, I have a Mac Mini from 2012 because it's the last good one they've made. At the rate apple changes their design and ports, I wouldn't want to invest into any proprietary system for Apple devices.
I'll stick with my Zoom H6. It's a huge investment, but I also don't have to worry about another device for it to be able to function. I just need batteries. For a cheaper solution I would almost suggest looking I to a splitter to plug 2 lavs into a Zoom H1. That way you just need the appropriate Mini jack cable to plug into your preferred device, or just record into the H1.
So now the iPad Pro has USB C. Any suggestions what to do for 2 x 3.5mm input??
Sean love your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Have you used the RODE Wireless Go? I’m trying to figure out if you can record using two wireless Go units with the iPhone. I’ve seen a video that suggests hooking them into the SC6. But I’ve seen a DSLR video that shows ow to use a TRS to Duel TSF stereo breakout cable, then to two SC7 cables to the Go. Do you know if the splitter (breakout cable) would work? Thanks.
Do they make something that works with an Samsung phone?
Do it have only one mic and earphone?
Hi, I am impressed with the sound quality of the Rode SC6-L vs Rode smartlav+. I feel this is so similar to Blue Yeti.
When only one recording for the podcast, do I have to wear both or wear one? Thank you for your help in advance!
Using the SC6 you can use one, just make sure it goes to both or else you'll have to double the mono signal or else one channel will be muted for people lsitening in stereo.
Hi, Great video. I have a question. Will this mic work with the Skype app on ios?
