I usually use a lav under my shirt with the original Wireless GO, but about 4" below the collar (gaff tape) so the chin doesn't interfere as much. A little audio editing can probably get all these different lav placements to sound about the same. And you've just about recreated binaural audio with the 2 lavs on the glasses idea. Would be interesting to see how it sounds in a busier environment like downtown.

Single lab on glasses is the win to my ears. That's a great place to hide the lav... but.... of course, do you want / intend to be wearing glasses the whole time? May I suggest that you try the shotgun in some more positions? nearer to you (but still out of shot) and up a bit pointing down at your mouth would cut out a lot of the room noise (ie its pointing away from the ceiling where there's no acoustic treatment, and your body is the focus of the front of the mic so there's simply no reflections coming in). Perhaps directly over the lens, as close as you can get without being in shot and pointing down at your lips might be a more optimal position. Hope that helps :)

great advice! thank you!

[@raulgolfs]

DUDE! I use my RODE wireless mic on my shirt or hat when I make golf vids, and I HATE IT!! Wish there was a better way without having the distraction of seeing a mic in the video.

[@mikestuckey]

good timing! just bought the dji mic2. sucks that the quality from clipping it on the shirt isn't the best. thx for posting this! helpful!

[@TuckerPearce]

The glasses look much better than the mic on your shirt, I'm with you it does not look good how it pulls down your collar. Logged into KZbin today because I figured there might be a Cody video, end of the month and all. Found the one, then I had an ADHD moment and when I came back to watch it there were two. SCORE! Also, you should put some affiliate links in your description for these mics, never know who might want to buy one after watching this. Dual glasses LAV, that is wild. So what do you think people sitting in a small studio at a desk should use? Thanks Cody! I notice a lot of people using the handheld these days and I can't decide if I like the look but it does sound good.

needing to accommodate for a beard creates complications. i gave up on the wire lav. wireless go ii, i wear hats and t shirts with a pocket for that specific reason. its the only 2 places i can clip it

[@OverlandTrailer]

I am totally doing this. What Lav do you use? It looks like a nice low profile mic (compared to mine). Your link seems to be missing in the vid description

[@seodriven]

There’s also the ones who clip the rode wireless go to their base cap. 🎤🧢

[@ermannorosati]

I believe that you have the transmitter on the shirt, not the receiver. Correct me if I am wrong!

[@RCodyWanner]

that's right, apologies for the misspeak!

[@ermannorosati]

@@RCodyWanner No need to apologise, I was more worried that I lost some details 🙂! Thank you Cody!

[@Kimbuucha]

Glasses mic sounds the best but I am far too lazy for that 😂

[@RCodyWanner]

haha i feel that
