This video was just what I needed. I had purchased the Canon T7 to find it had no external connection for a microphone, this video gave me cause to smile it gave me a way to record great audio with little more than a choice of microphone and my smartphone. Well done and thank you .

We've all seen Hollywood use clapper boards/slates to sync sound and image. An easy way to do it yourself: several seconds before you start speaking, clap your hands in a way that will be easily seen by the camera, and will be clearly heard by your microphone. Then when editing, sync the sound of the clap with the motion.

I am a beginning, amateur photographer and videographer. I just bought an external mic for my Sony A6000 and I really needed to see this. No audio jack! Syncing audio from my smartphone will come in handy for me. Thank you.

Thank you very much!! This is exactly what I was looking for. What a golden tip. I almost fainted thinking I now had to buy a new camera, to replace my already marvelous camera with integrated mic. Life savior. Thank you. Have a nice 2022.

This is exactly what we needed to know how to sync audio for our Canon t7's for our YouTube reality show. THANK YOU!

Paul, what a big assist this video provided me in expanding my photography to making videos. It is all so confusing and, once again, your clear and straight forward "how-to" has gotten me moving in the right direction. I just received my first mic, the Rode VideoMic GO II (yea, Australia!) and I'm ready to figure out what to connect it to. 🤪 My D7500, my Android, or my PC? THANK YOU!

[shutterbug]

Thanks Paul. As usual, spot on and very well done. I am just looking into videography so this was most helpful.
