hama LM 09 lavalier (tie clip) interview microphone review

[cinemaniatv]

Just so you know, I bought this microphone based on your review. It was very helpful, tnx. However, I encountered the problem with the mic so I am asking for help. I used mic 4-5 times with no problems and I am very satisfied with the sound quality. I tried to record yesterday and the sound was very low with a lot of noise even when I upped the levels on sound in control panel to 100%. Did the battery get depleted so fast or what? Please help.

Good review, thanks.

excellent helpful video ! I need a Lav that can plug direct into my dslr camera, I don't mind paying whatever but none of the big guns "Shure, Rode" make one everything they have either doesn't terminate in a 3.5 mini jack or requires phantom power, this looks perfect, thanks.

@musicforindies actually the rode videomic is also a considerable choice as an on-camera mice, because it is quite cheap (guess <$200) for the value. I have one, and really love it. it's battery powered, and has great quality both from long distance and for speaking directly into it for narration.

I have the Sanyo VPC HD 2000 Camera and it has a 2.5 mm stereo microphone input jack. I bought the Sony ECM-C115 Lavaliere mono microphone and a 2.5to3.5 mm adapter and it does not work at all with the camera. Would this mic work or is it the camera that is the problem do you think?

[GastonKosilka]

thank you a lot.. especially the part where you switch to the build-in mic and lavelier and back was useful, to imagine the difference.

[ChuckNorrisLuvsBoosh]

Thanks :)

Out of interest, which camera were you using? Just to compare that internal mic to my own camera's.

[szabovince]

@ChuckNorrisLuvsBoosh Canon HF100

@szabovince Thanks mate

excellent review, thank you very much :)

it is also great to see another film maker using adobe premiere instead of stupid final cut pro :)

Is the battery necessary, or does it work without the battery?

And does the microphone pick up your voice well if you were to rest it on top of a computer monitor and talk into it sitting at a desk?

[szabovince]

@gazm2k5 battery is neccessary, if you don't turn on, it's very very silent (the camera's amp cannot gain that much)

thanks a lot for this review! very helpful!

[johannes914]

Thanx for the tips ...

[johannes914]

Thank you ! looks to be a good investment

[szabovince]

If you buy it, don't get scared of the 90s feeling oldschool sony cam on the box :D

the other thing to care about:

I've read that the clip breaks easily so take care and don't click the mic in the clip, just 'plug it' from above

[johannes914]

Nice test. Not too much noise when you touch the mike or the clip ?

[szabovince]

I rubbed it with my finger and it made less noise than i expected. In real situations it didn't make any noise clipped on people walking, sitting on a tree (harvesting apple! still no noise), etc :). so i think it's quite fair.
