You need Adobe Flash Player to view this video.
UPDATE: For a limited time, I’m making this tutorial available for free to anyone. You can watch it in the above player, or you can right-click here to save it to your computer.
In this members-only episode, I give several tips that I really wish I would’ve known when I was just getting started in video. Sometimes lavalier microphones are the best choice for a shoot, but they can also be frustrating to use.
In this week’s Izzy Video tutorial, I’ll show you things like:
- How to hide a microphone under clothing
- How to reduce cable noise by adding strain relief
- The proper way to attach a lavalier microphone
- How to best position it
If you use lavalier microphones at all, or if you’re considering using them, this episode should really help. Enjoy!
