Question can you please help me I am trying to connect my lav mic on my DSLR Canon but it's not working I think I need an adapter do you know please help me photos.app.goo.gl/uZJe87ZreXWVh8t1A sl2 Canon EOS

[@alexpadillayt]

@@tylerpotter2449 do you happen to know anything about microphones DSLR

[@DieselDucy]

I just bought this microphone. I run a youtube channel about elevators and audio is VERY important. This is the best sounding audio I have EVER heard. It beats my 1600$ camcorder.

[@w.readford995]

Your audio on your videos is really great! Cool to see you were in Knoxville lately, that’s my neck of the woods 🙌🏼

[@tktoptunes]

That equipment is so nice, I really wanna get this set up. It would make our content sounds so smooth. Thanks for all the info on all the latest gear Sean! Appreciate everything you do on this channel for the KZbin community 💯💯💯🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@ThinkMediaTV]

🙏💯

[@tktoptunes]

Think Media you were the first channel we watched when we first started out our channel almost a year ago. Thank you for all the advice along the way!

[@stephaniedorene]

I really started listening to my audio and I realized how much I need a microphone. Crucial! Thanks for the advice!😊

[@InspiredObserver]

Think Media is such a positive channel and never fail to make me feel great! even when I have plenty of things in my life happening, I still watch it to mainly feel good and remember about my wish to start a light KZbin channel just for fun, beside my work and studies. This is definitely one of the most genuine and sincere youtube creators.

[@andryrakotomalala]

THIS!! THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I’M SUBSCRIBED!! Seriously dude thanks so much! This review is what I needed to gear up

[@SarahLovesJapan]

You literally review every piece of equipment that I research or have question about. Truly the best 👏

[@mixflip]

I love the mic. If I could use just the mic on my gimbal and phone setup....that would be my choice.

[@claygarrett4121]

That's IT! Getting this right now! My friend and I do Travel Videos and EVERYTHING IS SHOT ON MY PHONE! This would be perfect for Vlog Audio (which we do) and also Field Audio as mentioned in the video. Thank You, Sean for this great review!

[@claygarrett4121]

Forgot to mention the mount! It has perfect distance for capturing everything around me while vlogging, and can set my phone on a surface without having to worry about balancing my phone up on a rock or something.

[@BellsRidesAboardSeaBoss]

I use a IPhone 7 Plus for my travel channel and a super old GoPro on my motorcycle helmet Last week your video on the mic that plugged directly into the lightning port was huge it will be my next piece of audio equipment

[@YourDriverMike]

Sean after 330 videos I’ve been looking to upgrade my RODE Smart Lav+ as the windscreen is tearing. This seems like a good pick up. Let me ask you, I also have the RODE VideoMic Me (original non-L). Will the sound from this yield warm narration in your opinion when filming from approximately two feet away or should I look for another lav mic? I don’t use my Video MicMe often as that distance isn’t quite as warm compared to if I spoke directly into the VideoMic Me.

[@manny75586]

I’ve used Shure in the recording studio. The sm57 is pretty much on every recording the last 20 or so years. They know their stuff. The audio sample in the video did nothing to tarnish their reputation. The stock iPhone mic sounded awful so the Shure is a massive improvement. I really normally use a DSLR for video but this looks like a great back up solution when I don’t have my full kit with me or if I need to have something with a smaller profile. I would also point out to people that the manfrotto adapter included in this kit can be used with basically every DSLR/DV steadycam kit on the market. HUGE bonus feature for me.

[@ChessMasteryOfficial]

*Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek..*

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

I use my phone for quick vlog-style segments in between my main videos, mostly in a controlled workshop environment where the phone audio is actually pretty good (iPhone 10s) but it’s great that companies like Shure are providing such versatile solutions for phone-based content creators; I’d be all over this if my phone was my main camera 👍

[@WeldonTanks]

My phone is my main camera and what I am using to create content. I run a channel based around my Aquarium keeping hobby. Can’t thank you enough for the help you provide with these videos

[@scottisitt]

I already have the original mv88 so I can’t justify getting this setup but I’m sure glad it exists. This is a much better setup! Also cool that it supports Android users, too. Thanks for sharing!

[@YankeeStacking]

HOW DO YOU DO INTERVIEW MODE WHILE VIDEOING WITH THE CAMERA’S VIDEO RECORDER?!

[@mubeen316]

Wow the only thing it needs now is the camera app that records video from both(front/back) cameras together in a split screen style. Perfect setup for one on one mobile video podcasting.

Doubletake from filmic pro team

[@einsteinparrot]

I do a weekly live stream and looking for a directional mic that can pick up audio from 6-8 feet in front of the iPhone. Can this one do this? Can you recommend a good mic for this?

[@per-olamjomark7452]

Thanks for the review. I was thinking of buying this kit but instead decided to go with the budget version - in my case this meant that I bought the Manfrotto Pixi Plus Tripod and a Manfrotto Universal Smartphone Clamp (Pro Version) separately. I also bought the Røde VideoMicro microphone, which mean that all in all I paid around 100 dollars instead of 250 dollars for a rig that basically does the same thing.

[@GarageBiz]

Hi! Can you advice some alternative for rode videomicro (for better audio quality in home videoblog with DSLR G7 / SL2). Thanks! )

[@brianhendriksen]

Hey Sean, I just got this setup as it was on sale for $149 and I love it. I’ve seen a ton of your videos but didn’t realize you’d done this review until now so sorry for not using your link. I love your content, thanks for what you do ❤️

[@ShinilPayamal]

Must say, the audio quality is really good. Great product from Shure. And what I liked most about the product is that Shure has collaborated with Manfrotto. Hope more and more companies take a cue from this and bring more value to the end users.

[@SeanTran]

Vlogging will be so much easier and faster. I want this set up!

[@meanderingyogi6562]

My wife and I spend our time traveling. For the past two years I’ve only taken pictures. So I’m just getting into the video making; switching from travel pictures to videos. I made my first cheesy video just the other day. Lol 😂, Loads of fun. I really had no idea there was so much to learn. Looking forward to all my new challenges; and your input on many of these subjects have been wonderful. I use your reviews a great deal; yes I use a iPhone, Android, iPad, and my GoPro, thanks for your review.

[@LIFEmedicaltourismconsulting]

Love it!!!! Yes I used my phone & really wanna keep the phone & any accesoories in creating my content & I am aspiring online journalist

[@TonyaTko]

The l sound from that handheld sounds much better than the MV88... And I find it telling that you're recording the video with that one as opposed to the one you're Advertising 👀 #woops

[@14Cousinsadventures]

Yes I’m using my iPhone to record videos of family and kids activities. I just bought the Shure microphone for my iPhone. There are terms in the app I don’t understand when trying to set it up to record.

[@CarbonRadio]

This is awesome. I was just looking for something like this. Thanks for posting this, Sean!

[@kimberkisscosmicqueen]

You nailed it! Thank you Think Media! Great review 💗 I love using my iPhone to make videos there’s so much you can do with it!

[@MarktheMartian]

Do you need to use the app? Or can you just go straight to recording video with the phone camera?

[@tektronix461]

Is this mic decent enough to pick up 2 guitars a bass and a drum set semi cleanly ?? Or would it sound too muffled & muddy ?? I’m looking for a cheap option to quickly record my bands jam sessions

[@kelza83]

It works pretty good with bass, piano and voice. Are you mixing it all through the same deck or separate amps? I think we used bass amp and the rest through a deck going through a PA. Sounded pretty good.

[@JuanBlasBecerra]

It is possible to buy just the microphone ?

[@CocosTube]

What audio setting should I pic when using shure mv88 AAC? AVLAC? WAV?

[@stanleyhamilton8744]

Hi Sean Yes I use my iPhone to shoot video, have only made one so far. I just joined Video Academy so I’m excited to dive into the training, I’ve watched 3 videos so far and am loving VA 2.0 it’s so good.

[@amboy327]

Awesome equipment. I will have them soon .

[@WetterringVorarlberg]

Hi Sean what kind of microphone do you use in your hand?

[@johnhorowitz1437]

how important is using the front facing, better cameras, vs the selfie camera where you can see how the video appears as you film as a monitor. ?

[@5smoothstonesproject740]

I have a MV88+ kit and I would to know if it will work for platforms such as KZbin? Thanks again for sharing your video

[@Justsagebro]

At the moment im doing tech reviews and alittle bit of gaming , unfortunately i have an old phone and lighting is a problem , but thanks to you guys i got the boya lav mic and its definitely an upgrade

[@talesfromtheunderground9909]

I use my iPhone to record live bands. I’m also going to do some interviews soon. So this product looks like a must have.

[@RefRMart10]

Just got mine in today! Wish me luck!

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

Yes I use my Samsung to record everything. Sometimes I am recording slime making or reviews over a desktop surface. Other times I am recording my daughters doing slime play/sensory play or gymnastics or just being 6 & 8.

[@TaaDixon]

I'm using my iphone for all my videos right now. Great tips!

[@Hexicanforlife]

Thanks so much for the info! I want to start vlogging more and I know audio is super important.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

You're welcome - happy to help!

[@DownShiftRecords]

Does anyone know how well this would work with a iPhone 11 Pro Max and a DJI Osmo Mobile 3? That’s a looooot of weight on the Osmo so I’m wondering if it would even be compatible

[@paddleandhook]

I use my iphone to create large portions of my fishing and hiking videos. Before i got the new gopro i preferred using the iphone’s slow motion and time-lapse features. The downside is that i have dropped a few in deep water over the years 😬. Thanks for the gear review, im gonna take a look at this product

[@daveborchard2019]

Can you do a comparison video between using a SLR camera and an IPhone 11 Pro Max camera?

[@unleashingpotential-psycho9433]

Looking forward to this 🔥

[@IamProfessorO]

I have a question. If you wanted to charge your phone while using this setup, while using let’s say a Lightning to USB adapter… how would you connect that black cable? Since the female Lightning port would be dedicated to charging? Any answer would be a huge help

[@ChrisObehi]

Hello please is Shure mv88+ compatible to my Redmi note 9 pro for live streaming ?? Thanks 🙏🏾

[@NguoiDanuongTanTuy]

can you tell me How livestream by MV88+ with Smartphone Samsung?

[@rajivdadke5591]

This product is spot on amazing! Great gear and at affordable price! Now that's a deal breaker for me!!! But I'll be honest here, the video quality isn't that bad!

[@simonleung]

Does the USB-C cable work to detect the mic if connected to a laptop? Or only Android phones?

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Really good question - I’m not sure - Shure?

[@shure]

@@ThinkMediaTV Yes, it should work when connected to most laptops.

[@simonleung]

Thanks, Sean and Shure! Product looks awesome!

[@sophialarae8289]

What do you think about using this for ASMR videos?

[@DrApplesauce]

Definitely a great looking kit. I was using the Rode mic me for my iPhone 6, then upgraded to the iPhone X and now it doesn’t mount properly. Are there any little mounts you would reccomend?

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Yes! Check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKWwoqGfhK6er6M

[@MrTjongolongo]

Is it good outside? Or can i buy som ekstra to the microphone?

[@ladjkaoz]

looks like a great product. one question I'm a DJ I use my phone (note20 ultra) to record but some times the mic becomes saturated the bass or highs may sound so distorted, usually this happends when I'm close or infront of the speakers. what mic or system would you recomend If there a kit with a gimbal that you may recomend. thank you bro.

[@HenryTGK]

I'm actually a gaming KZbinr but when vlogging I regularly use my phone because it has the same resolution as my Kodak camera and I can easily edit on Android and upload

[@icanbeyourheraLIVE]

Does this work with go pro 8 too? Thank you!

[@wardieleppan8443]

Is there any difference in the quality of sound between the MV88+ and the MV88? It's not clear to me that there are any real advantages except getting a stand etc. and being able to use with an Android. I love the tidy look of the MV88 and packs away into a small secure case. . No cables to worry about. I already have a stand. Thoughts?

[@5smoothstonesproject740]

I have had the Shure MV88+ for two years. I have not been able to live stream on Facebook, I spoke to technicians and they initially told me yes it will work. But after multiple conversations with the technicians and it will not work. Thanks for sharing.

[@Techvalte]

Thanks for the tip bro well done congrats 👍👍👌👌

Really good review. Thanks. How about Vertical / portrait mode? Would it work for that?

[@PonoWright]

What’s the distance with point and shooting a subject? Would this able to be a all in one and replace my rode mic? Would this be compatible with a DSLR camera as well with some kind of adapter. Side note...great content guys..love the channel

[@KatherineAmbrose1]

what about the handheld mic you are using? Could that be a good iphone solution outdoors?

[@maimarouf]

How do you like the MV88+ compare to the MV88 that you previously reviewed?

[@CorkyStanton]

May I ask what that awesome handheld mic that’s in your hand? Does it come with a transmitter? Is it for the iPhone?

[@StephenNellas]

hey Sean! I've been following your videos and also the channel with Benjie... I am using my phone from the time a started youtube and I vlog with it and I also make reviews and everything with it... No fancy camera for now.. heheh.. But I am really interested to level up my game in terms of the microphone.... I was able to buy the Boya lavalier microphone though.. it's pretty inexpensive and I just wanted to try to see how my content goes with an increase in sound quality. Thanks for the videos.. Please keep them coming and you are helping small youtubers like me. You just don't know the impact you have... or maybe you do hehe.. Cheers! I used the Samsung S7 and now the Note8.

[@JoeWhiteFilms]

Is this a big improvement over the rode video mic L?

[@magnus547]

Always eager to hear about a new mic kit

[@EricDrummondBPCP]

Sweet I actually use my smartphone to produce about 98% of the contact on my KZbin channel and I just had an incredible idea I know that Samsung phones and Nokia phones give you the ability to record with the front and rear-facing camera at the same time this setup will be perfect either one of those songs especially in interviewing mode with the microphone in omnidirectional mode the only thing that would be the icing on the cake now is this Samsung and Nokia could make it so when you record video and dual camera mode that you have unlimited recording or at least until your device is full similar to what iOS devices do with the recording restrictions help it would even be awesome if iOS devices came out with a dual capture mode. anyway thanks for another piece of great content keep up the great work and I'll catch you in the next one have a good one.

[@mhd8008]

Would this be good for fitness videos?

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

Looks great!

[@itssandracontreras]

Is this good to use like for a church setting? It would capture the music and the pastor ministering.

[@itsfaj]

This looks great! But I don't have budget for it yet. I use my Huawei P20 Pro for now. I had my tripod from my old DSLR and just bought a mount for $13 on Amazon. Just missing the mic for now!

Hey Sean, cool review! Do you know if it's capable w/ an LG V30 smartphone? Thanks.

[@MFoley589]

Does the microphone have blue tooth technology? Or if I use my Bluetooth headset connected to my iPhone will it still work the same way as a wired headphone set?

[@moanaarlettadanisworo3682]

compared to the MV 88 which do you think is better? And can you hold the phone vertically (for IGTV/IG Live) using this mic? From what I see, it seems it can only be used landscape

[@muusikibaya]

I like it. Just ordered mine. I can’t wait for Audigo to start shipping to Canada though 😢

[@Khoyal]

Thank you for making such informative videos!! YOur the best!!!

[@thinkkhera]

Just seen it-Now it has a better substitute? or it is still worth a buy! Please comment/reply!

[@PerfectEnglishspeech]

So from the sound of it the mic is not good enough for voiceover work?

[@scottisitt]

Can you get these components separately? This looks great for people starting out, but for someone who already has a tripod and grip, it would be nice to be able to just buy the mic.

[@mrst5147]

Great video. I think you covered the product, features, and price effectively.

[@jasonkim2628]

Thanks for very useful detail review. May I have a question? There are many kind of applications for gimbal instead of Shure MOTIV Audio & Video Applications (iOS & Android versions). Example, I have FreeFly Movi Cinema Robot, DJI Osmo mobile 1 & 2, Snoppa Atom, Zhiyun and so on…… / Question 1.: SHURE MV88+ is compatible with any kind of gimbal Audio & Video application for my Apple i-phone instead of Shure MOTIV Audio & Video Applications (iOS & Android versions)? / Question 2 : SHURE MV88+ can use with smartphone gimbal?

[@Whitty43]

Does the app have option of using reverb?

[@RestyConcepcionJr]

I think you are a bit far from the MV88 when you tested it. Proximity is a huge factor in your audio quality - at most 12in gap in my opinion esp for a noisy room like this (or arms-length if vlogging)

[@StephenLyonsMusic]

I LOVE this little powerhouse. Its incredible. I actually use it to record VO work and it sounds incredible. One question. Is there a way I can use this on my Sony A6400? Is there an adapter I could use to make this work. Love your channel, this helped me make a fantastic decision on this mic!
