    This video demonstrates how to use an external microphone with an iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 5s, etc.
    In the video I use the following:
    Giant Squid Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone - find it here:
    goo.gl/xNrw6o
    ----------
    iPhone 1/8 inch electret condenser microphone adapter - 3.5mm 4 conductor TRRS Male to 3.5mm mic Input Jack -- find it at kvconnection.com:
    goo.gl/i8vm3J
    High quality audio can be achieved by using an external microphone with your iPhone 6 Plus (or other iPhone). By using the aforementioned external microphone adapter you can plug an external microphone directly into your iPhone without the trouble of a field recorder, separate audio and syncing in post.

    Good video bud, I am trying to get audio from another camera's headphone out to go INTO my iPhone.
    What I am trying to do is live broadcast through my iPhone but then use lavaliere microphones through my big camera. After the live broadcast is over I upload the big camera footage in perpetuity. Does this sound possible?

I can't figure out how to get rid of it. Any ideas on how I might be able to fix this problem?

    Would you happen to know if there's a way to use a lav mic with an iphone, use an app such as AirLinc as a "monitor" or receiver, & connect to a bluetooth speaker to amplify the mic in real time? Basically, once a mic is plugged in to iphone, both input & output are happening through that port, correct? There's no adapter to make the port just for input?? Long shot, I know, but you seem to know about stuff!

    One important thing he failed to explain clearly was that by just plugging in the mic, the iphone won''t record automatically if not taking videos. What if in a conference room you want to record a meeting with an external mic?
    What app to be used for recording other than voice memo?

    Are there any settings to program on the iphone...I used to be able to use it, and now my mic does not seem to work anymore. You hear my voice really far with a shhh noise over it. Before orderign a new mic, am just trying to figure out if it is not a setting I might have forgotten about on the phone.
