    ....Wow....I’ve had my Rode VideoMicro for 3 years and just learned all of these just now wtf I’m seriously mind blown, especially about the deadcat! Mine kept falling off and just recently I had to hot glue a circle around the opening (which worked) to keep it from falling off, but yeah, I just peeled off the hot glue just now and actually pulled the dead cat all the way 🤣👍🏼 Thanks for the tips!!

    But then do you have to match the audio to your footage in post if you have an external recorder?

      Yes but in most softwares you can do that automatically

      Or you can just use it as a preamp

    Super helpful! I had been using the Rode wireless go (love it!) but the clip snapped off & I had to send it in to Rode to get it fixed. I wanted a nice back-up mic & this fit the bill. I liked how this doesn’t use an external battery. I am SO glad I found this video. “Recessed. That’s the word!!” Thank you!!

    what background music do you use and do you think its preferably using quiet background music as opposed to just talking?

    • @LoveTheBasics
      @LoveTheBasics  Před 4 lety

      I just find some music on SoundCloud. I have a couple creators that I really like. Then I distort it a little bit. But I definitely think you should have quiet music as opposed to no music at all. Personally I don’t like the dead space

    Thank you so much for these tips - honestly, I've had this mic for a looooong while and have not yet used it. First I discovered I needed a special cable (red/grey) I went and purchased it. Then I needed the Apple adapter which I've just done. The tips you're giving here are super helpful - I won't give up on using this mic as the reviews are awesome. Now I need to find a way to position it on the tripod. I may also need something else for that LOL

    Very nice video ! I just have one question : how do you manage to avoid AF noises when the VideoMicro is placed on your camera’s hot shoe ?

    • @LoveTheBasics
      @LoveTheBasics  Před 4 lety

      I don’t. My lens just doesn’t produce that much noise when focusing. I’m sure if I were using a lens that was louder when focusing that the microphone would pick it up a little bit

It would be better to use the camera's mic... What can I do to solve this? The problem is the mic?

    • @LoveTheBasics
      @LoveTheBasics  Před 4 lety +1

      To me it sounds like it was just way too loud. Your audio is clipping. Using the onboard camera microphone would’ve helped slightly but not by much. I don’t know much of how to correct this, I’m sorry 😐
