Thank you for a very thorough and insightful review of this devise. It has given me an informed overview to base my purchase decision on. Much appreciated.
This was so informative. Thank you! 😊 I've got an older Olympus LS-10, which I have used mainly for bird recording and I'm going to start making videos as well. Inspired by you a.o., I plan to order the Olympus LS-P4, which fits well on the camera or in your pocket. I shall let the other Olympus LS collect ambience sound, while the other can be directed to a target of interest, may it be a person, an animal etc.. The audio recording levels can then be later adjusted individually.
Good test. I've been able to get the bluetooth feature working and I've always felt it was more of a "spec" feature- they never really took it that seriously.
Great video - one question, do you know at which db level the test tone is played back - I'm not quite sure so adjusting the input level on the camera can be a little bit of guesswork.
Afraid not. The volume of the test tone can be changed so we'd need a table of values for each of the 30 possible levels. I spent quite a while finding the best value for my camera (a Nikon D5300); one that was high enough whilst minimising noise.

Glad you liked it! Thanks for the comment.
What is that for background noise?
Good test. I've been able to get the bluetooth feature working and I've always felt it was more of a "spec" feature- they never really took it that seriously.
Thanks. The Bluetooth functionality does feel very much like a first attempt.

Thank you for this! Do you know if it records separate audio files when you interview two people?
No. I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Depending on the mics, it MIGHT record them to separate stereo channels.
If you have the Interview Kit, it looks like the bundled Stereo Breakout Cable splits the two mics into separate left and right channels.
@@immleman Yes I thought that was the case - looking forward to trying it out! Thank you once again for your help!
