Best Cheap Mic for YouTube under $50! - Deity V.Lav Review

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Question of the Day ⚡ Do you think this $50 upgrade is worth it?? Let me know! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 *** Check out the Deity V.Lav Pre-Polarized Lavalier Lapel Microphone HERE ➡️ amzn.to/3d3muLD

[@WaterandIceOutdoors]

I use the Movo Lavalier Lapels. $15 and sound perfectly good for the fishing videos I make. Maybe not the highest quality, but very clear and sharp.

[@lamombologa]

Where is in info for the 🎙 splitter at Amazon that an be used on the Canon M50?

[@Empire333]

Yes it’s worth it, thank you. What about a good mic for people who use laptops for recording?

You have not mentioned your experience with prior mic., this mic sux egg rolls compared to other lavs

[@mikem6796]

@@ThinkMediaTV In the video, was the mic attached to the camera when you were walking around in the house like the real estate agent? If one has the powerdewise mic should I still upgrade ? How do you feel they compare? Thanks.

[@ThreeTwentyTech]

My channel started off barely getting any views for the first few months and then I changed the way I interacted with my audience and then I suddenly started getting thousands of views! Keep working hard and make sure to stay consistent, you WILL get there, it's just a matter of how much effort you put into your videos. Good luck everyone!

[@austinonaustin6870]

Congrats 23T! What did you change in how you interacted with your audience?

[@christopherbennett6916]

Quality - 3.1.2 Versatility/Outdoor- 3.1.2 Basketball - 3.1.2 Track - 3.1.2 Seems pretty straight forward, and the word you meant while playing basketball was cognizant not cognitive. Awesome video!

[@josiahstearns9615]

We refused to start our KZbin channel until we actually had designated content-creator mics. I will not rely on onboard mics. They’re great for capturing memories and it’s great to have in a pinch. But if you want to have a shot at more premium content, you’ve got to have high quality mics. And that doesn’t always mean breaking the bank. Now I’m looking into lapel mics to change up some recording scenarios for the channel. So I’m glad you reviewed this one so I can add it to my comparison list.

[@joymae]

Having the right gear does help, but don't forget that at the end of the day it's your personality and how much value you bring!!!! Kelly Stamps has the worst audio and she still crushes it on KZbin.

[@RitchieRosson]

Haha! I bet she would crush it even more if she had good audio.

[@NansGlobalKitchen]

So true! I have to get a mike for my videos right now I don't have one. I just use the one in my phone.

[@bwandjae2798]

I have officially given up .... on chasing views. I’m tried chasing subs but I’m going to start making videos for myself.

[@ThatFitchGuy]

I see being successful on KZbin as not needing to be amazing at everything but being good enough in one or two areas. Personality can override audio quality. Being pretty can override personality. Drone footage can override a boring story. The more things you can stack in your favour, the better chance you have.

[@dillinger3927]

[@ChigzTech]

I have tried expensive mics and cheap mics. Not satisfied with any so far. Will try this one too. Let’s see what happens.

[@GAMINGRL]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmTQl6d_fcqij7M

[@FushiguroMegumi79]

If that’s the case you are likely missing something when it comes to your audio settings. You might have the gain too high or might not be recording in a space that lends itself to the type of microphone you are using. For condenser, it’s best to record in a quiet, small boxy possibly soundproofed room. For a cardioid, you can get away with a bit more background noise as long as your input gain is low and you have the mic close to your mouth. But, a lot of times less is more with any microphone. Remember, it’s always easy to turn audio up and make it louder. It’s a lot harder to turn audio down or remove distortion from a sound recorded at too high of a gain. Audio in most cases is determined by input settings and post processing. A microphone at 100$ can sound just as clear to the average ear as a 1400$ Neumann, possibly even better if the engineer using the Neumann doesn’t know what they are doing. Cheers

[@ChigzTech]

@@FushiguroMegumi79 Thanks, will try some different settings.

[@RitchieRosson]

Watch some videos about audio for KZbin videos. Positioning of mics is very important.

[@RideAlongWthJavieFrmTheIE]

Any mic is better than no mic. Stick to the ones you have. But for the best in the market, try the Zoom H5 external mic.

[@CoasterTeaFox]

It's a little muddy in sound quality, but a much more personal, to the viewer, microphone, helping the viewer hear the creator as if they are right in front of the camera. A very in depth review, would definitely consider buying.

[@SandyTalksCanada]

I wish you all the best for your new KZbin channel!! Be consistent and I am sure we all will reach the first 1000 subscribers soon!

[@alecbosse6425]

I have tried several lav mics at various price points with varying levels of success. For inexpensive corded, I was very pleased with the PowerDeWise Dual Interview Set. It comes with 2 lav mics, two extension cables a splitter, an adapter for smartphones all in a nifty case for under C$50. When I was ready to step up my game, I went with the Comica BoomX-D2 2.4G Wireless Microphone System. It comes with 2 Transmitters and 1 Receiver, 2 Lav Mics, and cords to connect to various cameras and smartphones. Each transmitter has a built-in mic or the Lav mic can plug into it. They transmit well over 50 feet with no issues. Each mic has an independent gain control and mute and the receiver has a headphone jack for monitoring. This set up kicks butt for under C$350.

THANK YOU for this! I starting diving into my KZbin channel in May and I'm finally starting to learn about lighting and sound. I usually like to not spend much time on tech and just want everything to work well, but I realize these things are super important for quality. So this is super helpful on the sound front!

Yes sir, great review. The Deity improves the audio impresssively in your tests! Great value for just $50. How did we not see the 5 meters of cable when you were doing the "real estate agent" type test??

Yes I need to upgrade! I plan to shop today or tomorrow! Thank you so much Omar and Think Media!

[@nickking2933]

That audio switch idea!! Just like a boss

[@EhrenSixon]

Omar you didn't show how you were walking into the house but the camera is so far away, it almost looks like a wireless setup. 2:10 How were you able to talk through the Lapel while someone is recording you from 3 to 4 feet away? You even turned around a few times. Did you use one phone to record your voice from the Lapel and then used another phone to record the video and then synced it up in post? I know the cord is long, but I didn't see the cord coming from the lapel on your shirt to the phone video.

[@zacharytan7100]

[@KG-Free_Stock_Footage]

Fun fact is that this microphone works with my Android better without batteries. This micro-chip inserted in cable somehow interfere with phone software. When batteries are in, recorded voice is very quiet, and noise is more likely to appear. Without batteries output level (gain) of recordings is way better. Important: I'm sure that batteries are inserted correctly. Recorded tests audios are both from Deity microphone, none is from phone microphone

[@coltoncauthen8696]

I bought this mic and have tried it with my computer as well as EOS Rebel Ti5 camera. Even when I have it positioned exactly like it is in this video (and how others use it), it still sounds really muffled and had someone else test it as well to make sure it's not my voice. Sound quality is significantly poorer than what every demo video with it makes it sound like. Am I missing something?
