This guy was great on the Matrix too.

[@usernamenotvisibIe]

Hilarious! Spot on!

[@remopns]

goddamn you cypher!

[@CrodolookslikeFrody]

The lavalier microphone is telling me this steak is juicy... and delicious

[@daviddifranco]

I don't even use a lav mic (yet), but these are some truly awesome tips. Excellent video!

[@mitch60mccoy]

This was one of the more impressive help or how to videos I've seen on KZbin. Thank you for the information. I found the information to be smart, effective and delivered in a clear and concise manner. Well done.

[@OLegendStudios]

This is the best review I've seen on this subject. Thank you very much. I will use your techniques for my channel :)

[@michaelkeane8902]

Hey man, thanks so much this video was extremely informative for me as a location sound recordist just starting out. I've been trying to overcome all those hazards you mentioned and i'll be using these techniques on set tonight and forever.

[@realrussclarke]

Great video Izzy! The toughest thing for me has been playing my guitar on video and knocking the mic or getting wire sound. You just solved my problem!

[@KLAEYZ]

One of the best instructional videos I've seen on this topic. Laving is a pain, especially with talent whom you have to move quickly with. Some great fast methods here.

[@davidbrock110]

Very well done and I really appreciate that you captured the recorded audio with the lavalier you were demonstrating. It is totally realistic in regards to the audio and visual issues we have to deal with in video production. Thank you so much!

[@freddoflintstono9321]

Rode (Australian mike manufacturer) also provides a thing called "invisiLav" for their SmartLav and Lavalier mikes (the former is specifically for use on iPhones ). It's basically a little silicon holder (you get 3 in a pack) which can hold up to 2 Lavaliers and has a bit of cable management. It's not expensive, but your approach is far more flexible so thanks for that - now I have 8 ways :)

[@psikologBeyhanBudak]

Very nice video, it helped me a lot

[@berksahin5785]

Hocam ne için kullanacaksınız merak ettim

[@jonathantirrell7774]

100% genius. Thank you sir! The gaff triangles and loop are what I was missing. Much appreciated!

[@BalinHewitt]

This video is SERIOUSLY helpful! You did a great job with making it all look so easy.

[@jimbultas]

Great job and thank you. You're an excellent teacher. Very clear and thorough with a nice pacing.

[@RandomVideos4U]

Thanks dude, most helpful video I've found so far!

[@SirRelith]

Thanks again for making this video. I've come back to watch it several times now to remember the tips you gave.

[@xavierpuigmontserrat5106]

Great tips, thanks for sharing! The whole video sound very professional and absolutely reliable, thanks for that too!

[@mekito4957]

The first video today i see that gave me clear and working advices for filming with this type of microphone. THANK YOU!

[@Shelfishgamer]

i really got a lot from the information you posted, thanks so much. Im sort of new to location sound (I'm was more in the studio recording, and post sound area prior), I find location sound more doable with a family and these techniques will help me improve my skills on set. You've just helped me become a little more marketable!!! Thanks so much!!!

[@foxtowercommunications]

Taped to his chest hair! How he suffers for his art. And I am so thankful. This was a great tutorial. Thanks.

[@hillelsinaivlogs]

Been lookin for this video for way too long bro. Thank you.

[@moviesovermatterproductions]

This is EXCELLENT! I've always wondered the tricks of the trade, very slick and many thanks for being so informative! Learnt quite a bit

[@addprosingapore1685]

thanks a lot brother!!! very straight forward and straight to the point tutorial.

[@robchado]

Wow, this was incredibly helpful. Thanks so much!

[@Meiereika]

Great advice. Never been a fan of Lavalier mics. Due to rustling noise and loss of frequencies when placing it awkwardly. But now I might give them a try a little more often.

[@ppstudios]

Excellent tips. A thing to consider is which way the talent is looking when they speak. While the mic is an omni, if the mic is under the left lapel of a shirt and talent talks to the right their voice can go off mic. So before micing talent consult with the director to see how the shots are set up. Another technique I've seen is mounting the mic under the brim of a hat.

[@BaldAdventures.]

Thank you! That was incredibly helpful as I learn how to record quality audio.

[@captainobvious574]

What a great video. Lots of good tricks here and presented so very well

[@TonyBueno10]

Izzy your videos are so helpful and intelligent. Just great. Thanks very much.

[@UalakaaFilms]

Great tips. The triangles and the mic in the tie are really cool. Will do the t-shirt wrap around with the triangles tomorrow for my shoot. Mahalo!

[@JimKulakowski]

Best I've seen on explaining specific problems and how to mitigate them - clothing, cable, hair, etc.

these are super helpful tips, thank you so much!!

[@CandidHeadlinesTV]

This is super informative! Thank you!

[@bacontrees]

Very good video on this topic!

[@stur734]

Triangle gaffer tape is a great tip. If your wondering if it will stick with sweat, I went for a half hour run with it under my singlet and still had to peel it off after I got home. Seems like good skin prep is important though.

[@vlog18rodas]

Nice video. Congratulations.

[@brettturner5299]

Thanks Izzy exactly what I was looking for, great stuff.

[@MaartenBijster]

Thank you for this awesome informative video!

[@AndyFeliciotti]

Izzi, you just saved my life! Thanks!

[@AlexIsSmalll]

Great video, very helpful! Thanks!

[@hudatva]

Excellent review . Thanks

[@John_Carguello]

I should've looked into this before I began filming my short film, lol! The footage is fine and the editing is going great but this definitely would've helped! I look forward to using this info on future projects!

[@ToniMorenoP]

Great tutorial. Congratulations!

[@michaellitty8718]

I haven't used a lav since before COVID but we're heading back in that direction. Thanks for this refresher on what is for me some stale brain cells. The double-football method is exactly the reminder I needed to resolve some fabric issues I've been having. I think a football of medical tape against the skin and a football of gaffer tape to the fabric might be just what I need.

[@dasadler46]

Excellent video - thank you very much.

[@serlaocrescendo6955]

Amazing video sir. Thank you!

[@WilliamSanjaya]

Thankyou so much.. 2016 and still watching it!!!

[@Dinhovieirafit]

Wow!!! That was extremely helpful!

[@sewlikeapro1]

Love this. Thank you! I've shared it with a couple of colleagues too :)

[@sparkyfilm2599]

lovely video, very informative and well presented.

[@solomonb5990]

amazing video, but cable noise generally refers to white noise (static), low frequency hum and other electronic noise generated by a faulty cable. a better term to use would be something like cable contact or something along those lines. still, great video once again. i definitely subbed!!

[@asymmetric123]

Great info, very helpful. Thanks dude!

[@ClaudiaCimenti]

Thank you for this informative video! This is a big help to a noob video creator like myself.
