BOYA BY-MM1 Pro REVIEW! Best DUAL MIC of 2021??

[@IbrahimLucas]

UPDATE: The headphone output only works on playback when you use it on smartphones! So this feature is NORMALLY not available while recording or streaming. However! I found a way that you can monitor the audio while recording! Check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/npuWkoaFjL-jptE

Thanks you.

[@beginnersstudio4604]

I really appreciate your work

[@beginnersstudio4604]

Please don’t give up bro really you are amazing and doing amazing job 🙏🙄🥺🥺

[@SlackerStuff]

Interesting that the BOYA mic was picking up more "rumble" if that's the right way to put it. I thought the audio was clearer and deeper like you said but the micro-bumps were a bit much. Nice review, Ibrahim! I liked it.

[@IbrahimLucas]

Yeah, it did picked up more "rumble" indeed when recording on my phone. I think it has to do with the fact that I used the camera app on my iPhone, which doesn't let you set the recording level manually. But like I said, I'll have to do some more tests tho. Thanks again for watching bro. I'm glad you liked it!

[@SlackerStuff]

@@IbrahimLucas that darn iPhone app!

[@komposxoini]

Thank you for the great objectivity in your video and for all the information you give us.

[@IbrahimLucas]

Thank you for watching! I'm glad I could help 🙂 And thank you for commenting.

[@PaulSebastianM]

The external mic produces a higher signal than the iPhone supports, especially when it's windy or when you create plosives. That's why it cuts like that.

[@EugeniaRJimenez-y8c]

Hi, thanks for the video. It's great, very informative and not boring!!! Can use this microphone with my Mac book pro? if so do I switch it to camera or on phone?

[@alaindejesustorres6379]

Thanks for sharing this information, Now I know what I need. Regards from Mexico.

[@IbrahimLucas]

Hi Alain, I’m glad I could help. Thanks for watching! 🤙🏽

[@Harlymart_kamor]

Nice review I will think about it cos I really need a mic for my new M50 mark ii camera. It sounds better with the camera than with IPhone though. Pls wch lens are u using on ur M50 in ur studio?

[@IbrahimLucas]

Hi Harlymart, thanks for watching! You can find my whole studio kit in the description.

[@WethuKhoza]

The app to monitor while recording is called Cinema FV-5 by FGAE. I am not sure if it available for Apple iPhone or iPad.

[@IbrahimLucas]

Thank you for watching the video! There's an update on this topic in the description.

[@muhammadsaad6382]

Remove the inner BLACK foam and install only grey furry dead cat, than it wont distort the voice. Lets try that, hopefully it works, it worked with my mm1.

[@alirezanassiri2079]

When you are using this mic on smartphone, you should turn on airplane mode. If you dont turn on airplane mode you will have some niose on voice.

[@JurneMolina]

Yeah there's a tad bit of distortion when using it outside, hella lot of wind tho. I'd say it's definitely an indoor microphone.

[@IbrahimLucas]

Thanks for watching bro! I think it's those deadcats and the fact that it merges the audio from both microphones together. I'll throw the deadcat of my Rode VideoMicro on it and see how it does.

[@vlogswitharif.91]

If I put dual mode in my mm1 pro, only F side audio is being recorded, what's the problem with that?

[@IbrahimLucas]

Hi Arif, I’m sorry that your microphone is not working properly. Perhaps the cable is faulty?Unfortunately I don’t know what the problem is. Maybe you can bring it to the shop where you bought it so they can take a look at it?

[@PretoOnTour]

Thanks for vdo. Now i dont know buy for my GoPro 9 or not...hmm

[@IbrahimLucas]

No problem! Thanks for watching. Simple… if you’re going to film inside, buy. If you’re going to film outside where it’s windy, don’t buy.

[@AlfredYap]

Hi, is there any workaround for the wind muff? since it is still picking up wind noise

[@IbrahimLucas]

Hi Alfred, do you mean before you record or after you have recorded? Because like I mentioned in the video, a solution is a bigger windscreen. If you have already recorded and there's a lot of wind noise there's not much you can do in post to fix it.

[@EugeneLau]

Hi, seems like you have Pterygium on your left eye.

[@IbrahimLucas]

Hi, thank you for noticing?

[@FaresAbdelSamie]

Where is the Arabic translation? Thanks اللغه العربيه

[@IbrahimLucas]

Hello my friend, unfortunately I don't speak Arabic. But you can use the KZbin player to translate the English subtitle to Arabic. This video will show you how: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h16ZkGqVmcebiNE I hope it helps!

[@FaresAbdelSamie]

@@IbrahimLucas Thanks

[@Helderhugo]

humm hummm mixed channels... Ithought it records one on the left channel and ther on the right channel

[@azanazam5644]

Could we use with laptop for voice over

[@IbrahimLucas]

Hi Azan! Yes, you can use it with laptop for voice over.

Nice Review IBRAHIMLUCASJR. ❤️

Thanks John! And thanks for watching!

[@malan2099]

No difference between mics

[@IbrahimLucas]

Hi Mesod, thank you for your comment. This video is about the BOYA BY-MM1 Pro. Which microphones are you referring to?

[@malan2099]

Yah bro i mean between mm1 pro and mm1 plus

[@swagasian0117]

What is the difference between mobile phone mode and camera mode? Thanks

[@IbrahimLucas]

Mobile phone mode is for recording with a mobile phone and camera mode is for recording with a camera

[@NirHason]

That was a great video! Thank you. You just saved me some money, I'll go with the BY-MM1 non-pro version. What camera are you using in the studio?

[@IbrahimLucas]

Hi Nir, glad I could help! I’m using the Canon EOS M50. You can check out my studio kit in the description.

[@mrheng562]

Solid review bro!!! I definitely smashed the like button for that KZbin algorithm. LOL!!! I was sent the MOVO DoubleMic and it's the exact same as this Boya Dual Mic. My found similar results with my iPhone X and iPhone 11 Pro. I even tested it on my old school Samsung S7 to plug directly into the 3.5mm mic jack. Result was good, but the audio sounds boosted and not really provide better quality sound. Like you, my overall impressions is to buy this for indoor use only. I don't recommend it outdoors because of the wind factor. Note: I tested this on Sony ZV-1, Panasonic WFX1, and GoPro 9 too. Like you, I cannot record to dual channels for flexibility in post. The only dual mic that can separate the audio is the Deity D4 Duo. But, your camera or audio recording device has to be able to record stereo, not dual mono. Again, great review and keep it up!!! Your b-rolls are solid and relevant. Unlike, many reviewers who shoot b-roll just for the sake of showing b-roll.

[@leadtheship6089]

Man, that iphone 11 mic is just awesome! I wont be needing the Boya if its just a normal talking heads video :) Awesome review!

[@IbrahimLucas]

The iPhone 11’s mic is surprisingly good indeed! Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!

[@bazzaip2698]

No L & R channels? That's no good

[@jacobreubenaglipa5669]

For me, I can use this microphone on my DJI osmo action since it's only one signal on the audio, for having different audio signal, the Diety Duo can do the job.

[@IbrahimLucas]

Hi Erixes! Thank you for watching. For what your describing it is indeed a good mic! Deity D4 Duo is indeed a more expensive choice, but more suitable to people who have the same needs as me.

[@basantahmed3035]

Halo what's the best between boya mm1 or boya mm1plus To make videos on the Samsung phone

[@IbrahimLucas]

Hi, I replied on the comment you left on my other video.

[@eduardomoralesv]

Ibrahim, I bought this microphone and doing tests (thanks to your video), I discovered that the front mic produces a lot of interference, the rear does not have that problem. When you shake the stick on which he had a phone, saturation occurs. Try the Godox Shotgun Microphone VD-Mic under the same conditions and it does not present any problem. Congratulations on your channel, Greetings from CHILE !.

[@IbrahimLucas]

Hey Eduardo, como estas? I didn't know that Godox makes microphones too! I learned something new 😁 Thank you for watching the video. Saludos desde los Países Bajos! 🤙🏽

[@eduardomoralesv]

@@IbrahimLucas Wou! It's good that I gave you a piece of information, you added one more follower with me to your channel, excellent work, very good Spanish by the way.

[@actstuntcam]

I cannot get over how terrible this mike is. If you were in a studio and the mike was static, it could be ok. BUT as soon as you introduce movement or wind it is SO noisy. The cell phone was better without it. - Rode micro for me.

[@beginnersstudio4604]

Hey bro keep it up

[@IbrahimLucas]

Thanks, will do!

[@JosefSmidrkal]

Why mixing both mics into a single audio channel? Because physics. Let's focus on how TRRS connector (audio jack for your smartphone) works. You have Ground, Stereo Channel Left (used for headphones = audio output), Stereo Channel Right (used for headphones = audio output) and Microphone Channel. Audio in "Camera" mode (when TRS audio jack is expected) should however provide 2 separate audio channels. That's also the reason why Headphone jack works only with Smartphone. You could be playing music into your headphones connected through the mic while filming...

[@IbrahimLucas]

Hi Josef, thank you for watching and leaving a comment. I appreciate it. You said: audio in camera mode should however provide 2 separate audio channels. Well, that is basically what I said in the video. I tested it on my camera in “camera” mode and it merged the audio from both microphones. I know that it’s possible to record them separately, because the Deity D4 Duo does this. That’s why I asked why mixing audio from both mics into one single track. It’s not that I don’t know why. It’s because I know it’s possible, but can’t believe Boya didn’t add that feature to this microphone.

[@JosefSmidrkal]

Hi@@IbrahimLucas, sorry I misunderstood that from the video and thanks for clarifying.

[@hornosartesanales]

excellent video bro...

[@IbrahimLucas]

Thank you so much! 😀
