what's up guys i'm ben from authentech, and this audio is being recorded
wirelessly over into my iphone in this video i'll be showing you guys why and
how i'm recording wireless audio over into my phone i'll also be shown a
little comparison of the built-in microphone versus a wireless mic and as
a little bonus at the end i'll be comparing all these lenses versus each
other on the iphone to see which one is best note this video is not sponsored by
anyone here i paid for all myself all the links to the products and
adapters will be down below make sure you're following me on instagram for my
behind the scenes shots and let's jump right in now it's been said over and
over that video is very important nowadays it's just about everywhere on
our phones we see these platforms popping up left and right a lot of
people are trying to get into the video content creation game and i'm on the
train that it's not the fanciest gear that's needed nowadays especially when
you're starting out but it's often the best camera is right here the smartphone
that's in your pocket and a lot of people say half a video is the audio so
it's so important to be getting good clean audio now the video quality on our
phones is getting better and better but there's only so much that the built-in
microphones can actually accomplish i personally shoot so much of my b-roll
footage on my phone for workflow and efficiency
now sometimes i'm doing an unboxing let's say and i need good clean audio
and this is what took me down this adventure for this microphone system
owen don't worry all this isn't just for the iphone but it's for androids as well
i haven't forgotten about you i'll show you all that at the end as well now i
also pretty deeply researched a lot of those plug-in shotgun microphones and
they seemed okay but it's going from like a d-minus to a c-minus it was just
a small step up but i was looking for an a+ audio option and I wanted something
wireless and this brings it so for the main microphone system I'm using the
rode wireless go now there's a lot of pros to the rode wireless go system for
example I saw its pricing is down to $180 right now on prime again compare
that to historical and other competitors on the market and that's actually a fair
price it's super time and portable I love these little grips
nice attention to detail there's rubber for extra grip in there it's perfectly
sized to slip into a cold shoe mount they both are USB C rechargeable
internal batteries there's lots of utility that a wireless mic system will
give you I love the built-in microphone on here we just turn it on and the auto
pair plus there's a mic jack in so we can plug in a wired laugh or even better
closer quality audio the lav mic that I'm using today is from rode as well
again I'll link that down below I think this came in that Wireless filmmakers
kit I bought a long time ago which is way more expensive than this so here's
the little lightning to mic Jack dongle that goes into our iPhone I'll also show
you the USBC dongle that I found that works on my Samsung we're gonna use the
trrs the three rings adapter going into the iPhone the TRS goes into the
receiver here it's receiving that signal sent from the transmitter and then from
here we can use the built-in microphone clip it anywhere or plug in a wired lab
for even better quality audio here's an interesting low comparison of the
internal mic versus the rode wireless go microphone plus the wired lav in there
as well and this is audio on the road Wireless go I'm about 10 feet away and I
can be talking here I can be facing this way or this way and you should be
hearing some crisp clean audio and this is audio on the road Wireless go how
does the audio sound and this is audio on the wired lavalier microphone
shooting over to the road wireless go how does the audio sound this is audio
on the road Wireless go through a lavalier standing about 10 feet away
shooting on the iPhone 11 Pro how does it sound
powering up the cycle board rover putting in the password
send speed to level five and we're off now here's just one cool little example
of a wireless mic system if I was normally zipping along here on the path
going about 20-ish miles per hour the footage on this iPhone might look good
but the audio is gonna sound like trash but with this wireless mic system and a
lavalier we should be able to pick up some crispy clear audio while scooting
along plus camera can be looking at me or we can slide it down to be looking at
whatever subject we want flying around look at these cool wheels here's this
big motor yada-yada we're down here at the lake
and the audio should be sounding pretty good if only we had some image
stabilization on this ultra wide lens that would be really nice but what we
don't so that's unfortunate maybe a few things to note here now of course the
obvious a wireless microphone system is gonna offer a million times better and
more options in capturing clear quality audio that otherwise would be impossible
with the built-in microphone or a wired lav only also this rode wireless go
system has been performing really well for me I've been really impressed and
satisfied in the purchase again the price point seems to be pretty
budget-friendly the built-in mic on the road go transmitter isn't bad and I
totally forgot to use their included dead cats which would have probably
helped minimize that wind noise a wired lav mic is gonna get you even better
quality audio but it's not needed for a lot of cases and that should save you
some money the distance here is impressive now rode rates them up to 70
meter range or about 230 feet I'm not exactly positive on my distance here but
google map says I walked about 200 feet away to those trees and it sounded fine
the whole time and of course I'm still a huge Android fan I tried it on my
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 eating a slightly different adapter this one is
USB type see I found it on Amazon for about ten
bucks it works great just plug straight in we have a mic in Jack worked perfect
audio check this is going into the note 10 plus and here's a fun video quality
comparison test of that front camera versus the rear primary lens versus the
rear ultra-wide this is 4k 30 video on the rear-facing primary lens how does it
look about dynamic range and this is video 4k 30 on the rear-facing ultra
wide lens now it should look drastically different
but how's dynamic range clarity and quality now this is video 4k 30 on the
front-facing camera which is pretty awesome it can do 4k 30 and here's a
little stabilization test some of the key details I noticed first the HDR and
dynamic range looks really great on all three even that front-facing lens
however there's plenty of this obvious flickering effect from the HDR I believe
and it sort of ruins the shot now I hope Apple can improve this down the line
secondly I was surprised that that front-facing lens was as wide
field-of-view as it is this is great to see it's good for action shots selfies
vlogging or whatever as for clarity well I'm grateful all lenses can record up to
4k resum however you should be able to see slight sharpness differences like
that primary rear lens is the best quality then I'd say the other two are
sort of tied that front-facing lens looks a little bit soft and that ultra
wide can appear a tad pixelated it's not bad by any means now this is a great
reminder for all if you want the very best quality shoot on that primary rear
facing lens I hope this video was helpful in some way or another thank you
guys so much for watching and until I see you next time let's live authentic
