microphone

REVIEW – Some of the reviews here on The Gadgeteer include videos, and one of the harder parts of creating a good video is capturing clear sound.  To improve the sound quality in my own videos, I’m testing out the Fulaim X5M, a new wireless microphone system. What is it? The Fulaim X5M is a […]

REVIEW – Many accessories are geared towards creators and casual videographers, but one accessory that many people think should be at the top of your list is a microphone to improve audio capture. I’ve been impressed (happy) with the audio capture capabilities of my iPhone 15 Pro Max and OnePlus 12, which are the phones

REVIEW – I have a few Social Media channels, and lately I have frequently been recording videos outdoors or in my newly constructed gym. I have been using my OnePlus Android phone and find that using a wireless mic and not relying on the phone’s built-in mic is a good idea. I have always been

REVIEW – I am on a roll with my obsession with wireless mic systems, so why stop now? I have been fortunate to test and enjoy several brands and models. I like having options especially since each has their niche and unique sound and features that match what I need. Now I get to continue

REVIEW – Digital sound recording has been around for a while. Remember those little memory stick-sized recorders? Getting good sound quality, however, will always stretch the limits of a tiny built-in mic. Fortunately, most modern devices take external inputs as easily as plugging into the charging port. Today, I’m going to look at a kit

REVIEW – Here we go again with me and my obsession with wireless mic systems. I have now tested and even used several for various recording scenarios. I always look for the next one that could produce even better audio with similar or better portability and versatility. Let’s see what this Saramonic Blink500 B2+ Wireless

REVIEW – As I previously mentioned when I conducted a similar test and reviews, for the past few years I have been working on various projects on several social media platforms. One of my New Year resolutions for 2024, is to ramp up producing content for those platforms and to be more creative about it.

REVIEW – For the past few years, I have been working on various projects on several social media platforms. This year, I plan to ramp up producing content for those platforms and to be more creative about it. My wife has been working on her content that focuses on lifestyle choices and she creates a

REVIEW – Video content creators know that other than a camera, there are two other important things needed to produce quality content. One is good lighting, and the other is good sound. You can’t create a great video if the audio is not clear and crisp. While our cameras and smartphones may have good built-in

REVIEW – One aspect of my amateur video making that always seems to fall a bit short is the audio. The internal microphones on smartphones and cameras are never quite good enough to capture the full range of sound, resulting in videos that never reach professional quality. However, after testing the Godox Virso S M2

REVIEW – As I prepare to cover this year’s New York Comic Con, as I do every year for The Gadgeteer, I’m making a concerted effort to up my presentation game. Last year, my trusty cameraman and I added the Zhiyun Crane M2S Camera Stabilizer to our kit, which I reviewed in June 2022, and

REVIEW – I’ve tried several wireless microphone systems with my phone and camera. However, there was always something about them that I didn’t like. Hollyland offered to send along their Lark Max Wireless Microphone System for review. After much thought, I decided to give it a try. Read on to see if that gamble paid

REVIEW – With my job, I sometimes need to make training videos to support field technicians.  They can be quick how-tos or longer courses that cover a subject more extensively.  This means audio is very important. Many times voice overs can be added after the fact but if I’m on location, it’s better to record

REVIEW – I reviewed the Yeti X microphone quite a while ago, and one of the hardest things was finding a cheap yet solid boom arm due to its weight. I stuck with one that mostly worked for the longest time, but when I saw that the TONOR T90 RGB adjustable boom arm was reasonably

REVIEW – When it comes to creating video, we concentrate on visual aspects such as exposure, focus, white balance, frame rate, and more.  But what many people tend to overlook is the audio. Sound can make or break a video especially when it comes to the dialogue. If you cannot make out what people are

REVIEW – When I began creating regular Gadgeteer Video Podcasts on my YouTube channel, I only used my iPhone 13 Pro Max for capturing the video and audio. From the first episode, I was disappointed in the crappy audio captured from my iPhone and started looking into using a separate microphone. Audio improved with a 

REVIEW – Even though podcasts have been around for over twenty years now it seems that there’s been an explosion in their popularity since the pandemic. Celebrities and civilians alike used their downtime to take to the microphone on subjects ranging from true crime to zombies and all stops in between. Part of the appeal

REVIEW – My main form of entertainment these days is YouTube videos.  I like knife reviews and teardowns, old tool restorations, and gadgets of all kinds. Hats off to all of you folks who do make the videos I watch.  It’s not nearly as easy as it looks. Because of that, I want to start
