acdave Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I'm looking for an inexpensive setup as an travel backup/covert/DSLR microphone rig. Maybe to jam in a backpack. Does anybody have any real world experience with these things? I've seen them at trade shows and they're tiny! As a last resort for interviews and B-roll, or maybe to throw onto a DSLR or GoPro in a hazardous environment as a camera mike, how badly can they suck for $400? Anybody on this forum actually own one? Thanks! Dave Wendlinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Reineke Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 A friend of ours (Chad) very recently did a mic/audio/demo/test/shoot-out using a Go-Pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Duffy Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Intrigued, until I noticed the non-standard connectors (they literally say in their video manual - a plethora of adapters), and the fact that the XLR balanced adapter needs phantom power, but still requires the batteries in the Mic itself. http://queaudiousa.com/Portfolio%20Items/q-sniper-kit-2/ (he talks about the cables from 9:27) The presenter on their video manual is using a headset mic, but it sounds awful. Not a good sign for a Microphone company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
