> Does anyone have a recommendation for a lapel microphone that can be used=
with an iPhone and that has good sound quality (i.e. low self noise), is g=
ood for using in windy situations (i.e. comes with a mini-dead-kitten or si=
milar solution), is around the 50 dollar mark and readily available (so no =
exotic microphone that is hard to get).
Martin,
I've got a tip from my Film Unit days which date back to when lapel mics
first appeared, or rather had to be "disappeared" as they were not allowed=
in shot.
I used to tape them under suitable material like a shirt or behind a tie
with a square of gaffer tape. I'd put double sticky tape across it as well=
leaving the business end exposed of course. The shirt acts as a windshield=
especially if it is smooth and the gaffer tape gave a "boundary" effect
before that became a noun.
Cardioid lapel mics pick up every movement and are very prone to wind, so
stick to omnis.
