Audio for product videos: why the mic matters more than the camera
Phone cameras are good enough for most product videos. Phone microphones, a metre away in an echoey room, often aren't.
Clip a mic on
A wireless clip-on mic like the RØDE Wireless GO keeps your voice clear while you move around the product. It connects to cameras and, with the right adapter, to phones.
Quick wins
- Record in a room with soft furnishings to cut echo.
