Skipper Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Does anybody know what microphones the Hak5 team use that clip on their shirts when they are filming episodes? I've been looking around and I can't find any that are decent and I need one for the EuroGamer Expo in September. Thanks -Skipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spazi Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 sennheiser make a few decent ones I guess. I used to work at a radio, and it's very important to use something that has been used "in the field" so you know that it just works :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snubs Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Will you be using it while walking around an expo hall? Because if so, I'd recommend a wired mic and a camera with an audio input so you don't have to deal with wireless interference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skipper Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 I do have a Canon 650d which has a mic input, what microphone would you recommend to accompany it? i'll be walking around and talking about the different games that are being released (I can't wait because battlefield 4 is going to be there! :D) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spazi Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) Maybe a directional condenser microphone with not too much gain. Røde microphones are pretty good. Using any other microphone with omni or kidney pattern and too much gain you will get a lot of background noise. Try testing it out first :) Camera needs to support phantom power and balanced inputs.

Skipper Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 is there such thing as a phantom power supply for a dslr? something like the blue icicle? Thanks for all of your help everyone :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spazi Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Yeah, I believe some Røde microphones run on a 9 volt battery if your camera doesn't support 48 volt phantom power :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skipper Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) I'll take a look at them, thanks a lot for your help Spazi and Snubs :) Edited September 2, 2013 by Skipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
