[@markwiemels]

You are most welcome!

[@donpetergms1583]

Brother, I swear I can’t understand how your channel hasn’t blow yet. You content is soo good! I have been sharing your videos. Keep up the good quality! Great video!

[@markwiemels]

Thanks! I'm doing my best.

[@dennysquash54]

i heard that voive crack at the start 😂😂😂

[@whitelx]

Great info. I have a battery powered shotgun mic that on several occasions I have forgot to turn on. I will be checking out these suggestions.

[@ablak3712]

Thank you for this video. No bs, very informative, now I know everything I need

[@cocoscabana]

you are killing it.. Keep it up, and Thank GOD you added that lil Blip, because I was scratching my head trying to figure out how to add my (new to me ) USB mic to my canon M50 lol

[@markwiemels]

Great to hear! yes, you are not the only one that has been caught out by the USB thing!

[@sallylee3451]

Thanks for this! Just purchased the Rode VideoMicro through your link!

[@markwiemels]

Wonderful thanks! Be sure to check out my video on how to make the video micro sounds it’s best.

[@cre8r61]

You're on a roll - great video mate and so many mics to choose from out there. C'mon - you must have a fave?

[@markwiemels]

I’m pretty confused about that at that moment, I have a lot more mics than when I made this video, a month or so ago. It’s still hard to go past the Rode Video Micro and the Deity D4 mini. I really need to use an “in shot” mic most of the time to deal with the noise from the kids, I have a few I’m testing out now.

[@blesingudeh]

The second video yours I am watching today. Your channel’s gonna go wild soon.

[@markwiemels]

Thanks! I'm doing my best.

[@apislapis]

Great video as always Mark. Rather than worrying about it, seeing a camera in shot appeals to the gear nerd in me. I find myself trying to identify which mic it is.

[@markwiemels]

Yeah, I’m the same, I like that behind the scenes look.

[@thtgrldiana6388]

Hi Mark! Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge you are always so helpful! QQ... I am working on creating crafting videos... I tend to be leaning forward a lot, for cutting fabric, ironing, sitting at the sewing machine. What would be your recommendation for a Microphone set up? I might be anywhere 1-5 feet from the camera and microphone. I have an M50 EOS MII. I set the settings to manual on the camera, and it seems pretty low volume, so I've adjusted it recording level to halfway between 12 and the last tic-mark on the right. Still seems low. I am using a Movo PXR10 pro. Thank you again!!!

[@markwiemels]

A couple of things. First you may just need to boost the volume of the audio in editing, which is a normal thing, I do this in every video. The other thing is, if are moving around a lot, you are probably better off with the wireless microphone and lapel mic, as the microphone moves with you.

[@CleverGirlsCraft]

This was SUCH a helpful video, thank you!!

[@markwiemels]

Great to hear!

[@LavenderHazelwood]

Thanks for this! Just ordered the Deity D4 through your link. :)

[@markwiemels]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@internetcultured]

awesome! thank you mark!

[@TheSalutingMarinechannel]

Outstanding information! I have a vixia HF M50 I want to up the anty and catch the sound around really noisy settings like a motorcycle event. Thank you for your video.

[@markwiemels]

You are most wlelcome

[@ALLBOUTTHUGLIFE]

Lightweight Moving Blankets 👌

[@markwiemels]

Yah, I have just switched to a big moving blanket. Looks a little better than what I had up for this video.

[@ALLBOUTTHUGLIFE]

I strongly suggest the recycled fiber light movers Blankets. They look like speaker box wrap material but cheap and work really great. I got a 12pk of 4x6ft for like $40.

[@markwiemels]

@@ALLBOUTTHUGLIFE thanks! I’ll check them out.

[@ALLBOUTTHUGLIFE]

One last thing.... great cuz they're cheap and even can be used to place on the floor and once you get tired of looking at it, you can jus dispose... 😝👌 trust me. Gotta sound proof floors too. Wal... app

[@joekamouh2002]

I'm using the boya by mm1 and it's doing a great job for me

[@markwiemels]

It's a really good mic for the price!

[@pedropereira5043]

It doesn't have a shock mount, though. It's hard plastic and I can't hold the camera without the mic picking every handling noises!

[@baguapalm]

Thanks Mark very complete overview 👍🏽 I have a question pending. Can you give us more details on the settings you use on FCX?

[@markwiemels]

Give me some more detail. Do you mean in the audio editing?

[@baguapalm]

@@markwiemels Yes please Mark. What are your settings for the audio in Final Cut?

[@markwiemels]

@@baguapalm I’ll try to do a video.

[@dkgrace6743]

Great informative video. Question. I bought the Canon M50 accessory kit for my new M50, which has the AC power adapter from Canon. But when I use the AC adapter I get a buzzing humm sound on my videos audio. I use a wired lapel mic. Any suggestions? Would a shotgun mic do away with the noise? Thanks

[@markwiemels]

I think others have had this issue, do some googling, I have not experienced it, but I think it is common enough that there will be some info out there.

[@nikovelikov]

Great video! I'm using the rode micro, but looking into other options.

[@markwiemels]

Thanks! The micro is a pretty good one!

[@YouTube_ghitfdth]

Are there any outdoor test scenes? If you are shooting Vlog, you will often go outdoors.

[@markwiemels]

I'm going to cover that in an upcoming video.

[@TaletellerByJR]

thanks for that video help the lot.

[@ThatOneLazyNerd]

The Movo VXR10 Pro is a good one too. Got mine for like 50 shipped from amazon.

[@markwiemels]

I have been told that’s a very good mic.

[@ThatOneLazyNerd]

@@markwiemels Bro thank you for your content. I have the M50 Mark II w/ kit lens on the way and you have single handedly helped me figure out how to set it up correctly, the best accessories, and my lost of lenses has like 13 total on it now. I was already planning on the nifty 50 cus it was recommended to me when the camera was. But i added basically all the others to the list. Ive got a pretty dope set up for just my phone, but this new camer and your channels gonna help me up my game for sure. I appreciate you.

[@markwiemels]

@@ThatOneLazyNerd So good to hear! Thank you for sharing that. Sounds like you have a great setup!

[@Cure.The.Culture]

I recently bought thr diety d4 mini and it's not working with my m50. Any tips?

[@markwiemels]

Did it come with two cables? from memory is does, try the other cable.

[@Cure.The.Culture]

@Mark Wiemels yes, I found out that one was for a smartphone. The other was for a camera lol. Thanks!

[@DansEarway]

👏👏👏 poignant b/c a mic is next on the purchase list.

[@YogonKalisto]

neat video thanks!

[@markwiemels]

Great to hear!

[@lucrgonzales]

Does the Deity D4 Mini sound really quiet and noisy when plugged into the M50 MK II for anyone else?

[@markwiemels]

No its fine.

[@lucrgonzales]

@@markwiemels Really? I realized I had to turn up the gain manually in the camera, but it still picks up a lot of noise, even when turning off wireless features.

[@ignaciogerardi]

Where are the links for the link for the cheap boom arm?

[@markwiemels]

This is the link, depending were you are in the world, the links don't always work - geni.us/UsOAXa

[@myliebiii]

What about Rode Videomic GO?

[@markwiemels]

I have a whole long video on the go ii, it’s awesome, this video was shot before that mic was released.

[@myliebiii]

@@markwiemels yeah I’ve seen that. I’m getting m50 soon and I’m thinking about the normal GO (1). Worth it? Have a good day

[@markwiemels]

@@myliebiii the go I is terrible, the video micro is better than the go I in every way, just get a videomicro or a go ii if you have the budget.

[@myliebiii]

@@markwiemels okay, thanks for the advice 🙌🏿

[@TheRadpreneurPodcast]

cool

[@chronobot2001]

Sorry, but I couldn't tell the difference without the blankets.
