Microphone

Well, I went with the awesome blue yeti... but, seeing as you said you didn't want to spend over 100$ I am unsure. M-audio usb mic worked i guesssss, not as great though and not as flexible.
 
Go and look at the rode videomic and the videomic pro. The original videomic could be had for around $100 and it's perfect for those who want to walk around while shooting. Now I don't know if it will work for you as it does for me, but I own 2 videomic pros and they don't seem to have a problem. They plug right in to my 60D's and work every time.

But as stated above lav mics are also a really good option for capturing ones voice. But check out the videomic. I love it!

Hope this helps![DOUBLEPOST=1394464278,1394464045][/DOUBLEPOST]Don't go with any USB mic if you want to be able to get up and move around with your camera. But if you sit down at your desk and shoot most of your videos in one place (not moving a lot & can have a computer close by) than a USB mic might be something to look in too.

Also if you get a USB your going to have to record audio in a software in your computer (audicty free audio software, works great) and then pair it in post in some sort of movie/ video editer.
 
Thank you. I was thinking about rode. Is it a huge difference between videomic and videomic pro?
 
No there is not that much of a difference between the two unless you really listen to the audio and look for the differences[DOUBLEPOST=1394661723,1394580369][/DOUBLEPOST]Hey Dariak whats your youtube channel?
 
Thanks, I think I will go for the original one and maybe buy pro in the future. It's a 100$ difference and that is quite a lot for me and honestly spending so much on equipment when I haven't even started making videos would be silly. Just another question, does the videomic pick a lot of white noise? If yes is there any way to fix it? I want really crisp sound :D
 
No the video mic does not pick up any white noise nor does to create any, you just have to make sure your settings are correct. And if it does pick up white noise play with the settings. But I haven't faced that problem before
 
I just learned that the dslr that I am planning on using (canon t3i) makes a lot of hiss even with the rode videomic but it's quite better with pro because of the +20dB. So maybe spending a little more is worth it. I was thinking also about the zoom H1 but I don't know if that's gonna be good for the type of my videos. Plus I don't know if I would be able to sync the video and audio ( still don't know much about editing lol)
 
Editing is really quite easy its nothing to worry about and if you do get stuck you could always go on youtube and look for a video that walks you through the steps of how to edit. As for the zoom H1 i think its ok I havent used it but I own the Zoom H4n and thats quite a good mic to have around when you want to use XLR mics. But the having to sync up audio in post can be a little tricky to do and will also be a little time consuming. So theres a little more work to do, but over all the audio will sound close to the same, but yes if you are going to get a mic get the pro version of the videomic pro.
