Since the Smartlav normally can operate only on Iphone (due to the plug) I ordered even following adapters to:
Lindy 35522 - PC Adapter Cable for iPhone and compatible headset
In order for the audio plug is split and I can operate the green plot as a normal 3.5 mm jack to various recording devices.
I immediately made a test recording on my 5D Mark III.
Mounted about 20 cm away from your mouth, I had to turn up only slightly more than half in order to get a good modulation the audio level.
On the PC, I've looked at the video file on the computer and some edited with Adobe Premiere.
Out of Cam has the sound a certain noise (which may have been reinforced by the current in-room PC)
This can be easily filtered out but with different effects on video editing and bring to a comfortable level.
I will in the next few days to make even a Vesuch with the Tascam DR-60D to find out if I can disqualify the sound so better to get even less noise. In this regard, I will nachberichten.
My first impression of Rode Smartlav but consistently good and I think for that price you can hardly go wrong with this product!
But I'm still looking for a cheap recorder in your pocket, because I do not want to operate on a Iphone the Smartlav. Who has tips for me please leave like a comment.
