Hi,
I'm looking to shoot some marketing videos at home, using my S6. I have a tripod ready and a small lighting rig. All I need now is an external wireless/bluetooth mic that I can attach to my shirt, and that can amplify my voice into the audio component of the video that is being recorded by my S6 on the tripod a short distance away.
Any suggestions please for a reliable and affordable device?
Thanks in advance!

.. microphone. Or at least, a minijack socket. I recorded a video off my artemis yesterday of someone playing drums. It's distorted to hell, it can't handle it and even if it could, it's thin and tinny. I have a great sony stereo mic which I use with my minidisc recorder. It would be great to use it with a phone, or better still, to have a phone with a high quality stereo mic built in. Has this been done or is it likely? Not to mention the video frame rate is terrible.

You're using your phone to record live music, did you expect to record an album with it?

No.
The question is quite straight forward. Anyone else like to have a go?
Hi,
I am considering the Infuse since the Arc seems a bit too small (I'm using a Dell Streak atm) and I would like to ask some questions about this phone.
1.Most of the phones I've own have a big problem when recording videos during the night or in low light conditions; they tend to drop/skip frames since the camcorder tries to compensate for the lack of light, resulting in very choppy/blurry videos especially for HTC devices. Does the Samsung Infuse follow this trend and are you satisfied with the quality for night/low light movies?
2.I've read that there is also a continuous autofocus for the cam - if you zoom while recording a video, does the camera re-focus or is the video grainy/pixelated?
3.How does the speaker sound? Is it on the low or high volume? I mean, does the music sound clear/crisp and loud, or does it need some boosting in a next firmware?
Thanks for your help!!
Answer
In low light the camera on the infuse performs as well as my Canon Rebel $400 digital camera. This goes for video and stills. The zooming is digital. At 8mp you can zoom pretty far before getting grainy, but as with ALL cell phone cameras you will never be able to take a photo of a college football game when you're sitting in the stands, it just can't zoom that far. The zoom is better than any phone camera I have ever seen, save one device that was primarily a camera and had a klunky phone afterthought. The speaker is loud and crisp. Very decent for playing a tune while I get ready in the morning when I can't use headphones. Hope the info helps.
Thanks for your input - it's really what I was hoping for before considering this phone. This was very helpful!! Thank you!
Hey Guys and Gals,
Do any of you experience terrible sound while video recording?
My recordings sound extremely saturated while recording concerts and such "high volume" situations. A buddy of mine with an iphone doing the same recording, right by my side, sounds way better than me.
I've noticed that this is a recurring question around the forums but I haven't been able to find an answer or a solution.
Thanks!

Not much you can do if the SPL is too high without installing an attenuator internally. You could physically attenuate with a piece of cotton over the mic, but that'll muffle the highs. Inspire just has a more sensitive preamp than the iPhone I guess. If you really want to record concerts, you need equipment designed for that like the Edirol R09.
Hey guys, yet another try to record video in a live show... And again.. The audio of it comes so ****ty and distorted.
So i don't expect any solution from oneplus anymore. I even tried to take the microphone gain a little which didn't really helped so i guess it's just the mic isn't so good.
Any ideas how to get good audio in loud environments? I just don't think it's legit that an iPhone 4 can peform good in these kind of environments when the OPO (which is a better device a hundred times) cannot do such simple thing.
There are more than one available video recording apps on the play store that allow you to lvl the audio input whether it comes from the OPO mic or an external hooked up. I use a Zoom H1 with my OPO which has far superior performance for recording audio in loud environments. Plus I can hook in external LAV mics for interviewing

I would like to significantly improve the audio quality on live music video recordings shot with a Nexus 5X. With the iPhone, there were many purpose built condenser mic/interfaces that plugged in directly, but it seems that with Android, there is no such luck? So I need to buy a OTG USB interface/adapter and use a self powered USB mic? Is this true/accurate?
Can anyone recommend a mic that is small, preferably something that attaches to the phone itself? The Shure, Zoom and Rode mics for the iPhone are great I wish there was something like these products for Android devices.
