  • In this video I unbag, test out and review the Purple Panda Lavalier Lapel Microphone kit that is currently being sold for under $20 on Amazon. It comes with so many accessories for the price and I test it out to see how it stacks up in comparison to my Rode VideoMicro.

    I use an old android phone that I repurposed as a lav recorder. You can sync the audio in post. It gives me more freedom to move around. The best app to use on android is ASR. You can record at a larger bit-rate and heaps of formats WAV, FLAC, MP3 etc. It will give you a massive improvement to your video audio. I thought about a wireless Rode receiver but honestly my current method works exceptionally well. Thanks for the review, the PP sounds good, better than the Rode IMO.

    Hey Carson,
    This was so great to see an outdoor mic like this. I am definitely interested in purchases it. I could use your advice - a friend and I, who are completely amateurs when it comes to tech like this so learning as we go, are interested in recording ourselves having a conversation (interview) while walking around outside. We want a mic that records us together so two lavs but one connector(?) and a mic to interview other people we meet while walking. What do you recommend we do in order to be able to have three mics essentially, one for each of us to record each other talking together, another mic for whenever someone else is buy or recording outdoor sounds, and an app or device to record it and upload it to edit and cut? let me know if you have any question! thank you so much for taking time to help a newbie out :)

    The Rode sounds "thin" ... lacking in low frequencies. The discount mic sounds muffled ... lacking in high frequencies. I honestly don't like either one. BTW, do your friends call you "wind sock"? Aside from the fact that it's the wrong term, I lost count of how many times you said it. Anyhow, thanks for the demo. It gives a good idea how those two mics sound.

      Thank you so much! Also thank you for letting me know; I just updated the links I thought they were affiliate links but I guess I had never switched them xD.

    hi
    thanks for the review, does it eliminate (or significantly reduce) background noises eg a train station or airport or festival. and will it work with an android smartphone like Samsung?
    thanks

      Actually just bought and tested it for the S20 and Carson I believe mentioned it, but you can expect much less with the deadcat on.

    It is definitely a steal for 20 bucks, but Rode had more clarity is what I felt.

      True

      How would you define 'clarity' ?

      Rode is worst on outside, even with moderate wind . But, there is a Lavalier Rode mic in the market !! That's is the Rode Smartvalier+ ... Google it

    Where can I get the lav mic that isn’t Amazon? I don’t support Amazon
