Reducing wind noise is about protection, not necessarily which mic you use. Finding a good combination of foam filter and/or fur muff is much more important. The wind is basically a low frequency, high-pressure wave that needs dissipating via disruption and redistributing to either a lower inaudible frequency or physically blocking. The second option would be to have a mic with a very limited low-frequency response but that may not be a very satisfactory solution. Also, don't forget handling noise which is a separate issue requiring the use of an isolation mount. For vlogging, I would use a lapel mic which would be easier to protect against the wind and closer to the required sound source. The drawback would be not capturing the surrounding ambient sound as much. Look at the Audio Technica website which has many useful tips for reducing such interference. As with all things, there is no one solution that fits all scenarios well but rather a lot of alternative solutions with varying degrees of success from which to chose for a given situation based on previous experience.
From your selection above I have no experience of the Boya mic. You may find the Rhode Videomicro does not have a sufficiently loud output to power the audio adapter and the Samaronic SR-XM1 will work but will not give maximum output at normal recording levels (It's around -6dBm short at normal voice levels of around one meter from the Mic) and will need additional wind protection, although on the plus side it has an adequate built-in isolation mount.
I’m confused Ray,
The mic - either the Go mic or a Lav, will be about 6 inches from his mouth as he attaches them to his clothing. The item that will be a meter away will be the receiver.
Regrettably, using the DJI extension rod means you can’t plug in a mic of any type because you are either using the wireless adapter, which means you can’t plug in the audio, or you are using the USB C cable to connect to your phone.
That was my plan when I ordered it.
I think people are expecting more than is possible with the OP. if you can use it as it comes out of the box or Audio is not important, you have a nice tool to capture video in many ways. Sure you can upgrade your audio, but you can’t use the extension rod and a mic.
DJI, you should be taking notes. Fix what you can in firmware/accessories and make version 2 better! |
