Question of the Day 💡 How many videos have you made on your smartphone? Let me know. ** Watch our Video on How to Get Better Video Quality with Your Phone HERE ➡️ ua-cam.com/video/AX7mBdXWep4/v-deo.html
I’ve made close to 50 videos counting shorts. I use the Deity lav mic and feel for my videos it has sounded the best. I also have a Movo vxr10 that I’ve tried to use as a boom mic but every extension cable I’ve tried has a low end hum. As for this video, first of all that was an excellent demo and comparison of all the different mics. For my budget, again I like the lab mic and boom mic. One question is are you using anything to set the gain on the mics on the smartphone? I have struggled with getting the gain and volume set correctly.
Do you (or anyone?) have any idea why my audio would sound *worse* after upgrading to a Rode VideoMicro with a TRS to TRRS cable, plugged into a TRRS to USB-C adapter, on Android? The sound is much more muffled and even distorted.
A little Constructive criticism, I really like your channels content but I have watched a lot of your videos and been apart of your youtube impact challenges and I am sorry to say but you guys end up sounding more like a Brocken record. I know you guys have found some really awesome strategies and tips that are great to stick with but maybe you can try finding out some new ideas and incorporating some into future videos? I just feel like whenever I watch your videos it is just a repeat of other videos in a different order. I have even bought every some of your guides and have been a bit disappointed in seeing that it was all information that I had heard from you before. I was hopping for some new information. Not trying to be mean just trying to give a suggestion. I hope you will take my suggestion to heart. Thank you for making really helpful content. Hope you have a great day.
More excellent content from Omar, thank you. I like the sound of the boomed mic, though the Rode Go is of big interest to me as I want to have more flexibility of options for filming outdoors, So I might be making that investment in the next couple of weeks!!
I would love a video about how you guys input those funny movie clips !! Are their only certain movie clips that are not copyrighted ? how do you find them ??
Awesome video! Just what I was looking for on a review for a new mic for my smartphone. My favourite has to be the Deity D4 Mini mic as it sounds the clearest with not too much bass and has a nice tone too. Your voice has a nice soothing tone which sounds great. Love the helpful videos from Think Media :)
This is a positive sign. You are EXACTLY where you are meant to be. May this be a sign that you are making a difference. Keep creating and being awesome. You got this 💗 Dr. Liz
The pandemic, lack of resources and crises in some parts of the world has made lots of people jobless and the financial status of some family aren't okay!!
@Black Davies You're absolutely right,but many out there are confused about what part of stock should dey invest into..for me! I invested into Bitcoin and it has been a success for about six months now.
@@peneloperiley6357 This fall of crypto is for a greater rising. Do you remember when 1bitcion worth 1cent?. Then it rose up to 60k dollars. If you could get my point i think now is another great opportunity to buy and invest.
Hey, thanks for the video, the comparison at the end is great! Would you consider making video on filters you're using please (both on air and post production)? Cause I've seen people having bad audio with $300 mics, so it's not just about the mic...and your audio is awesome even while using the built in mic :)
I made a video without any Audio it made 1000 views. And a video with bad audio and it got 2. Audios very important even when the background is just AMAZING
Great video. Just what I was looking for. What would you recommend if I was shooting 3-4 people in an interview type of situation? I do this for work often and I use a Shue MV88 small mic. attached to my phone. Sound is ok but could be better. I think the more people I have the farther I need to get, so I’m looking for a better solution for 3-4 people talking.
We used to use a wired lav like the diety. Bit the bullet and got the rode go a while back. Then bought the go 2 when it came out. We use it for everything now. Omar had the go too far from his mouth in our opinion - better on the lapel - higher on chest at least. But he's right. It's excellent.
@@BrigitteBeckley I thought so too that it should have been closer. One day I’ll take the hit and just purchase the rode wireless or put it in my cart and have my son “ accidentally “ hit the buy now button lol
@@amirahaidary4187 in that case a shotgun mic with you 6 to 8 feet away from your camera with a wide angle lens should work if your doing the type of vids on your channel. Most phones have a wide angle lens.
I have so far made 90 videos with my phone. I used to use a snowball ice mic next to my guitar amp, that limited my chances for recording acoustic guitar. I would also at times use the phone mic and place the amp close to the phones mic. I invested in the RØDE vlogger kit, and now that is my to to mic for recording acoustic guitar. The sound quality in my videos has changed so much by that investment. I also have a small lav mic I got cheap for the times I want to talk on my videos..
Thank you for this one guys.!!! If you are into audio and music choices of unique tracks we are a music channel waiting for your hunger for excellent music.!!!
Great video, brilliant detail, structure and pacing, usually these types of reviews can feel a bit slow but this was very informative and kept my attention throughout 👍
Just getting into the video but watching the editing work and hoping you could sate my curiosity: 1. Was this done by one editor? 2. If so any idea on how much time it took?
Let's say I want to improve the audio quality of my smart phone (Samsung Galaxy A15) while filming songs at a concert with lots of different instruments ie heavy metal or punk shows. My Motorola G7 phone from 2019 sounds better than my 2023/2024 phone. Do these mics help with that??
I like the Samsung q2u and the deity lav in that order. I'm curious can you hook up the q2u simultaneously to your phone as well to something like a Zoom h6. For purposes of Audio only podcasts and video.
I tried the lavalier mic route and the quality was worse than when I was just recording audio straight thru my phone. Idk if I was just a bad quality mic or not, but I'm going to return it and try the shotgun mic method (method number 3)
I'm trying to enhance the wedding speech I made... but before I even can even evaluate the quality of your product, you want me to pay for a monthly service. Sorry! I'm not gg to pay for something I'm not sure works
Omar, this is EVERYTHING!!! So many AH-MAY-ZING options!!! You just answered basically all of my audio options questions in one clean and concise video!!! Love how these would also have the capability to be used with EITHER a smart phone OR a camera!!! I have a camera, but these are excellent for someone who is starting with their smart phone, these options can be transferable to their future camera! Or for someone like me who still uses their smart phone on the go to easily capture some extra content~ knowledge of better audio options is a game changer! Love the hack of the USB mic in the shot to create the illusion of a full on setup, it looked and sounded GREAT! Had good laugh about the thighs and running shorts too, that was so unexpected and funny! Loved the hack with the area rug, that probably would not have crossed my mind!!! Your videos are ALWAYS EXCELLENT, but THIS one is top notch, and I don't know HOW it's possible for you to improve even MORE from your typical standard of excellence, but you just did! 😊❤👍
Sorry to say , nothing worked as you described, or maybe didn't work for me. Wastage of money on all your recommendations. Other guy told me , I can never ever have a good quality recording without the amplifier. I connected with an amplifier, the result was astonishing, my cell phone audio sound was like the sound in a world class Opra concert.
I have issues using my ipone 8 and my saramonic micorphone, once I plug it in i cant hear what I am recording. Do you hear yourself when recording with your phone once it is plugged in? I need help!! It is a wireless microphone. I have tried to use the 3.5 mm lighting cord with it , but nothing helped.
I bought a deity lavalier microphone and when I plug it into my phone there is a constant static fuzzy noise. The room is dead silent. How do I get rid of this noise?
Me suscribiría a su canal, pero hay una persona de su equipo que no me gusta. No se preocupe que no es usted ni el gordito. Gracias por su información.
I need a mic to attach to my iPhone 12 Pro that I can use outdoors when doing man-on-street interviews. On my channel, Infrequently cover events, both indoor and outdoor, where I interview vendors, guests, performers, etc. Right now I’m just using my onboard mic but it picks up my voice really load, but the interviewee is hard to hear, especially when there is a lot of noise in the background.
I have the Samson Q2U USB Mic that I'll be using when I get the phone adaptor! For now I'm experimenting with vlogs, video/audio podcasts and beauty content!
The #2 option diety v.lab mic isn't available in the link that you provided in the description anymore, but I got one from PoP voice instead. It is a wired two mic set up with over 15ft of extension cord I think each. All for around $28. Thank you. I would like to have a wireless mic but it's a little more expensive and I don't want my audio to completely get cut off by a simple Bluetooth disconnect which would quite possibly happen more than not. Also, it seems that not all phones support every wireless mic so you might have to install third party camera apps to make it compatible. That's something I don't want to deal with. Wireless seems more like a liability and hassle despite its marketing being for convenience.
I use a lavalier mic when I'm outside in a windy condition, but use a shotgun mic in all other inside or fair weather recording. The shotgun Mic having a hairy filter it keeps my audio nice and clean!
Condenser mics can be dangerous in the wrong hands, you’ve been warned. Condenser’s suck in the sound all around you from a distance(typically), a dynamic mic is used for a closer recording(like live vocals, or noisy environment). This is important info for a beginner, I encourage you to research, and try out examples of both if you’re new to the audio game.

Deity D4 Mini boom definitely sounds the most natural and crisp to my ears. As someone who owns a lot of mics, that is a DEAL.
Totally agree!
I am a beginner. I am thinking to get Deity V.Lav. But I am also tempted with the wireless.

This is good. As of right now I only make my art videos with music but have had people ask for a narrated tutorial. This is good info, thank you!
Glad I could help!

That's absolutely right but talking about WORTH!!. I worth 20 dollars, isn't that funny?
@Black Davies You're absolutely right,but many out there are confused about what part of stock should dey invest into..for me! I invested into Bitcoin and it has been a success for about six months now.
Do you guys still think 🤔 crypto is the future?!! With the recent fall of BTC.
@@peneloperiley6357 This fall of crypto is for a greater rising. Do you remember when 1bitcion worth 1cent?. Then it rose up to 60k dollars. If you could get my point i think now is another great opportunity to buy and invest.
I'm a leaned lady, but still don't know how to go about crypto trading. Do i need a special class to learn how to trade?.
Hey, thanks for the video, the comparison at the end is great! Would you consider making video on filters you're using please (both on air and post production)? Cause I've seen people having bad audio with $300 mics, so it's not just about the mic...and your audio is awesome even while using the built in mic :)
Watching bc someone said I have quality contents but please upgrade my audio
Hey Bro nice to see your video but what do you think about Rode mini wire one with Microphone Wind Shield what do you think about that? is that good?
How to get better audio: *Buy a good microphone*
It sounds simple but it's true! 🤷🏻♂️
I made a video without any Audio it made 1000 views. And a video with bad audio and it got 2. Audios very important even when the background is just AMAZING
Sound is seriously everything. I know for sure that’s why my channel has had a slow growth. I suck at audio lol
Deity is the answer, but it is very expensive.
@@AnywayHighway1207 I'll have to finally give them a shot. I suck so bad at audio.
Great video. Just what I was looking for. What would you recommend if I was shooting 3-4 people in an interview type of situation? I do this for work often and I use a Shue MV88 small mic. attached to my phone. Sound is ok but could be better. I think the more people I have the farther I need to get, so I’m looking for a better solution for 3-4 people talking.
Great timing! I love using my Rode Wireless Go. It's been a game changer for my films and tutorial videos. Thanks for the tips!
Just with a little of post-production work, the iPhone mic can sound as good as some of the best external mics and better with the right skills.
Thank Media is the best UA-cam channel
It is very useful
Rode wireless Go 2 sounds like the one which is overall the best, has a little bit of everything.
Which one do I use if I want to record videos of bands playing at shows?
How to edit audio in post? Want a video about that 🙌🏻🔥
This Smartphone Series is Amazing... beginner UA-camr Learn more!
Can that boom stand connect with the mic stand if the Samsung q2u
I can't wait for this, I know think media don't disapoint
Can you mic up more than 2 people on the rode go or is that it?
Man the rode wireless cost a pretty penny lol… I’m going lav! Love the long cable definitely a must!
We used to use a wired lav like the diety. Bit the bullet and got the rode go a while back. Then bought the go 2 when it came out. We use it for everything now. Omar had the go too far from his mouth in our opinion - better on the lapel - higher on chest at least. But he's right. It's excellent.

oh man - you really do get what you pay for. that Rode wireless is my favorite.
The Rode doesn't sound that well, the lav would be my go 2.
Is there an alternate brand for a wireless mic? The Rode go doesn’t sound great, not a rich sound. I need a wireless option
@@g.a.m.e8126 thanks. I’m considering doing wired anyway.. maybe less oxidative stress to our cells from radiation
@@amirahaidary4187 in that case a shotgun mic with you 6 to 8 feet away from your camera with a wide angle lens should work if your doing the type of vids on your channel. Most phones have a wide angle lens.
@@g.a.m.e8126 thanks. would a shotgun mic work for teaching yoga? You’re up and down, standing, sitting, moving on a mat
The Samson was awesome to me. Thanks Team “THINK“. I am a video podcaster and the training i get from u really helps in my studio
Interesting that I hear a miniscule lag with the Rode wireless. I do love its flexibility, as I shoot in the wild
Great information. I have a RODE lavaliere mic and it works really great. Thanks for all of you tips, tricks and reviews.
Nice video thanks. But I prefer the rode wireless go. Only it is a bit expensive, wish there could be a less expensive wireless mic.
I have so far made 90 videos with my phone.
I used to use a snowball ice mic next to my guitar amp, that limited my chances for recording acoustic guitar. I would also at times use the phone mic and place the amp close to the phones mic.
I invested in the RØDE vlogger kit, and now that is my to to mic for recording acoustic guitar.
The sound quality in my videos has changed so much by that investment.
I also have a small lav mic I got cheap for the times I want to talk on my videos..
Sound quality of the Samson Q2U is tops however, the Rode Wireless Go is also excellent also portable. For the money have to go with the Samson.
Hi Omar,
Very informative video. Thanks for sharing your best tips with us. I'm going to try this? Have a great day.
Thank you for this one guys.!!! If you are into audio and music choices of unique tracks we are a music channel waiting for your hunger for excellent music.!!!
Great video, brilliant detail, structure and pacing, usually these types of reviews can feel a bit slow but this was very informative and kept my attention throughout 👍
I like the wireless $200 one sounds great. But $$$ a little pricey. What would you suggest for outdoor recording from my phone?
Super helpful thank you!
What's the best phone holder to attach my phone to my tripod and be able to shoot both landscape and portrait?
…hi Patricia, i just ordered a Manfrotto Professional clamp/attachment…looks great, has fitting to attach light or mic etc…
Listening to all that audio, I prefer the sound of the Samson q2u and Deity d4 mini.
Just getting into the video but watching the editing work and hoping you could sate my curiosity: 1. Was this done by one editor?
2. If so any idea on how much time it took?

Clicking to the video for smartphone edition. Not a lot of things to buy
Great info Omar I think budget wise for being stationary the boom. If I were shooting an on location inter the Rode wireless with two mics would rock
I like the Samsung q2u and the deity lav in that order. I'm curious can you hook up the q2u simultaneously to your phone as well to something like a Zoom h6. For purposes of Audio only podcasts and video.
I tried the lavalier mic route and the quality was worse than when I was just recording audio straight thru my phone. Idk if I was just a bad quality mic or not, but I'm going to return it and try the shotgun mic method (method number 3)
The Samson Q2U was the best sound. I didn’t look at the video so I could hear the difference between all the recommended products
12:47
Is the clamp and boom stand holding up the Samson q2u in the description?
Yes, next to the deity mic
Which usb-c to micro jack adapter do you recommend?
I'm trying to enhance the wedding speech I made... but before I even can even evaluate the quality of your product, you want me to pay for a monthly service. Sorry! I'm not gg to pay for something I'm not sure works
Thanks for the tips and also the mic suggestions! 😁 and I totally agree with you, Audio is 50% of the video! Amazing video! 😁👍
Before making any kind of review regarding mic, it's my humble suggestion first of all improve your AUDIO quality. Thank you.
Omar, this is EVERYTHING!!! So many AH-MAY-ZING options!!! You just answered basically all of my audio options questions in one clean and concise video!!!
Love how these would also have the capability to be used with EITHER a smart phone OR a camera!!!

What about Zoom H1?
Will all of these work for Android as well
Yes!
I bought a deity lavalier microphone and when I plug it into my phone there is a constant static fuzzy noise.
The room is dead silent.
How do I get rid of this noise?
Samsung Q2U is that what it sounds like recorded to Smartphone with No post processing?
IMHO the Samson Q2U produced the best sound in this case.
Samson Q2U sounds pretty good.
Me suscribiría a su canal, pero hay una persona de su equipo que no me gusta. No se preocupe que no es usted ni el gordito. Gracias por su información.
My seriousness for the topic you were talking about completely dropped after you showed your shorts 😅
Can you do an iPad Pro version of this?
What about shotgun mic on top of a smart phone camera rig (no boom), would it be better than the stock phone mic?
That aux cable for the deity doesn’t work. You need to use the yellow cable they provide
Yeah, if the audio sucks, the video worthless. Thanks for sharing!
Very informative! Thank you for sharing
How do I place my smart phone if am videoing something practical like cooking
I bought the rode mics and I was told so many times I needed an adapter to use with my Samsung s 21. Nope. Connects perfectly with UCB to UCB
The first one works for me, no mic at all
Do you have experience in live music recording with mics and mobile phone?
Wireless mics sound horrible regardless of the brand.
How do i improve my music quality audio? I put ncs on my video but rn it sounds bad
I need a mic to attach to my iPhone 12 Pro that I can use outdoors when doing man-on-street interviews. On my channel, Infrequently cover events, both indoor and outdoor, where I interview vendors, guests, performers, etc. Right now I’m just using my onboard mic but it picks up my voice really load, but the interviewee is hard to hear, especially when there is a lot of noise in the background.
I think Samson q20 sounds best of all
I have the Samson Q2U USB Mic that I'll be using when I get the phone adaptor! For now I'm experimenting with vlogs, video/audio podcasts and beauty content!
What about recording live music
Which usb-c lav mic do you recommend?
is the rode one good for concerts ?? line example next years coachella
Another good one!
What about for live music performances?
Bro where did u get ur necklaces include a link if possible
The #2 option diety v.lab mic isn't available in the link that you provided in the description anymore, but I got one from PoP voice instead. It is a wired two mic set up with over 15ft of extension cord I think each. All for around $28. Thank you.
I would like to have a wireless mic but it's a little more expensive and I don't want my audio to completely get cut off by a simple Bluetooth disconnect which would quite possibly happen more than not. Also, it seems that not all phones support every wireless mic so you might have to install third party camera apps to make it compatible. That's something I don't want to deal with. Wireless seems more like a liability and hassle despite its marketing being for convenience.

I liked the boom. I'm going to try that for freedom of movement.
No doubt the Samsom has the best quality
Thanks for sharing with
U really change my mind
I'm doing travel vlog
Thank you
I'm looking for good microphone... thanks for sharing ❤️❤️❤️✌️
Now which microphone is good? That connect to iPhone
I use a lavalier mic when I'm outside in a windy condition, but use a shotgun mic in all other inside or fair weather recording. The shotgun Mic having a hairy filter it keeps my audio nice and clean!
