Quote of the week! - "Just start. Start before you're ready."

[stephendverner]

I’m an AV professional with 20+ years of experience. For the last 3 years I’ve been the TEch Director for a historic theatre.

I’ve been wanting to get into creating YouTube content for a while now. Stumbled into your channel a few days ago after researching tech equipment I’d need.

My employer had to cancel all events due to COVID-19, but I am working from home. Now the need to engage with our audience via online media has come to the forefront.

I just ordered some Boya mics today. After watching hours and hours of video I just couldn’t get over the sound quality when compared to mics that were way more expensive.

I am a brand snob so I was looking for the Shure, Audio Technica, etc. professional brands I am so familiar with to also lead in manufacturing great mics that adapt to your smartphone.

They are there and they are good, but after several shootout comparison videos I was convinced enough to give the Boya brand a shot.

I ordered both the single wired lav and the mini shotgun to have flexibility. Excited to get started creating quality content with my iPhone 11 at an all in budget of just over $130 bucks - 2 mics, tripod, phone to tripod mount and all the necessary audio adapters.

Signing up for your YouTube masterclass as well. Thanks for the great content.

I’m currently using my phone to film until I can afford a camera. I’m in need of better audio. This is something I’m definitely looking into.

VERY helpful and inspiring. My son and I are just starting and are very green. Hearing Heather talk about the beginning awkwardness and difficulty of editing is SO us! Very inspiring to know we are not alone.
Also the mics sound REALLY good. As a matter of fact, I'll be heading to Amazon right now to pick up those mics no doubt. Smartphone video may be acceptable for starters creating, but the audio tends to suck. Thanks once again.

[MannyVegaNieves]

I love these interviews since it provides the information in a more casual setting due to the nature of a conversation.

[PrimalVideo]

Solid microphone! Great video #TeamThink

[MannyVegaNieves]

That Mic is definitely a must, and the price is phenomenal.

[thetireddadtech]

I'm liking this product. It keeps the conversation more natural. You don't have to keep moving a handheld mic back and forth...and that price!

[shanescott]

I've had good luck with the Boya M1 mics. They have surprisingly good sound quality especially for the price. I'm using two Boya M1 microphones with a splitter into my Canon for interviews but the dual mic setup is a better value.

[TheValueKing]

The King Approves of the Boya mic, sounds great, especially for the price! Might be our next purchase!

[EscobarStyle]

“GET STARTED” ... I love this!! People will dislike or like your content but just do what you love and get going. And that’s what I did no matter if I get 2 likes or 15 dislikes. We ALL start somewhere. ✌🏼

[ChelseaNicole]

Audio sounds incredible for $30! And love the idea of using phone/snapchat to practice getting comfortable on video! :)

[NowyKurs]

Thanks a lot for review. Very useful. I was considering this lav, but I can say from my experience so far, that even a one single omni lav mic placed in the middle, should work for random interview. Even low budget lav mics those days, can have a very decent pro quality. Additionaly, with the current developed softwares, you can easily make an improvement for any sound 🔊 recording. What you usually unable to correct, it's a speaker voice tone and their phonetics 😁

[myozbubble]

Heather has done a great job growing organically. Her growth sounds like it was at a speed (fairly quickly!) she handled very well. High fives!!!

[denverboyd]

I started watching your videos about a week and a half maybe two weeks ago. I've gone super deep on starting a youtube channel. I now own a Canon Rebel T2I that I got used, a Kit lense, a Blue Yeti USB mic, a very nice tripod, a takstar shotgun mic, and the boya lapel mic. I'm so excited to start up this channel :D A bit nervous, but super excited. Love your videos I watch at least 3 a day haha. Thank you for being such an inspiration and having such awesome content.

[misterolot]

The sound was pretty good, been using the Shure MVL in the same category, works well too. Thanks for the advice guys!

[inflamezish]

That BOYA mic was awesome. I just bought it for my channel and Podcast. I think it will do amazing for a start.

[BMgreekyoutuber]

This channel is just AWESOME I'm a subscriber for a year now and you helped me a lot improving my channel so thank you!!!

[SamandStephen]

Looks and sounds great! I just purchased the M1

[BookYourImagination]

Good review! Great to hear the mic in a real world environment, background noise & all. I was so interested in what she was saying, I forgot I was supposed to be listening to the sound of the mic. Sold!! 😁😁😁
