To be successful on YouTube, you need to be passionate and patient... Wishing all the best to you 🌟

[FilipedeBarrosDance]

Thanks Nolan! I love the tip about draping the wire over the shoulder and down the back to take the pressure off the mic!

[KaroCodes]

Switched from Sony zoom mic to cheap Rode Smartlav+ and the quality improvement is huuuuge!

[suavek]

The timing of this post is amazing. Was just thinking about this too 💯

[DennisfromScratch]

I’m using a Sennheiser wireless lav mic feeding into an old Zoom H4n recorder. I had the equipment from my years as an audio engineer. I definitely recommend both the Sennheiser and Zoom brands for their high-quality sound and durability.

[DavidCicia]

Thanks. You guys are the best for what you do. I have learned so much about equipment and setting up studio environments from you guys. Your YouTube channel is the 1st place that I go to for advice on these type of things. I really appreciate all your help. Keep up the good work!

[sherrewebb]

Can I tell you thank you a million times over!!!??!! Why have I been struggling with this mic forever!!!! Thank you thank you thank you! Whew.

[darrencarter]

This is great! I just starting using the Zoom F1. It's awesome

[BlessedMwangi]

I got this mic just 1 week ago so this video is so timely. Thank you so much

[ThreeTwentyTech]

The best thing about Lavalier mic's is they are SO affordable. I have a Rode VideoMic and it costs about $180 brand new so having a product, like what Nolan is showing, gives you an affordable and effective way to get high quality audio!

I tried the diety but I couldn't deal with the cord, so I went cordless. I have Movo WMX-1 2.4GHz Wireless Lavalier Microphone. I love the loop method tho! That will come in handy later.

[TobiasHolenstein]

Great video. I've tested out a lot of different lav mics and the one you are using sounds better than all the ones I've tried haha

[RJRonquillo]

Great tips! Is clapping to slate the video really necessary these days? Sync clips via audio always works for me.

[HerCastleGirls]

This is very helpful!!! Glad we saw this.

[ShowPhil]

I'm using the Saramonic Blink 500 Pro wireless just started using.... working great so far!

[Thegadgetdad]

This is great, I use a lav when I’m outside so it goes under my top layer. Hides easy! Great video Nolan. I just hit my 100th sub woohoo. Good luck to everyone on the journey!

[WorldwideDarts]

I'm using the Yeti but with my style of videos I definitely need to improve my sound.

[DoubleDHomestead]

Great tips. Thanks. My son got me a mic like this for my birthday.

[henryhelps]

Thanks, Nolan. I normally use a Rode shotgun mic, but have been trying out my Boya lavalier. Just moved into a new studio that has a lot of echo and the lavalier does much better at the moment. Hopefully some sound boards will dampen that echo. Thanks again!

[edmurray]

Thanks for the info. I'm using a Rode wireless Go 2. This video honestly helped fix the issue I was having with where to place my mic. I couldn't decide for the life of me where exactly to put that thing while wearing a t-shirt. I know this is rudimentary for many but I was honestly not getting the results I got from 2 small tweaks I got from this video. Thank you very much!!
