Someone please help! Can you use a lav microphone of any kind with a Flip Ultra HD?!

@whitebub Actually it does make a big difference in sound quality regardless of whether or not the mic is omni-directional. Yes it picks up the sound because its omni, but If you point the mic down you will notice the sound is muffled/more lower end, likewise if you place the mic on the left or right collar - whereas if you place the mic at the breast bone and face up it is as clear as you'll get it.

I have a microphone that I want to use to record a conference table conversation with a couple other people. Now when I try to direct record into my PC laptop, it comes out way to low in volume. Will this boost the signal to a much higher level? Is this the same as what phantom power does? I'm recording interviews where I just want to set a condenser mike down on the table about 4feet away, not hold it close to my mouth. Thank you.

mmm. well most lapel mic's are omni directional so if it does face down its not going to mater too much.. ahhr.. and note all (i've yet to use 1 that tells me otherwise) lapel mic's need a fair bit of "tweaking" in post.. eq is not your enemy ! (turn the video up loud and listen to the start you'll heard what im talking about, this is the first video from you guys i've had a problem with (although this is the first sound video) so keep the vids comming ! loving them (most of the time)

Thanks for the tips. I get great use from a $15 wireless lav mic that I bought on ebay. I plan on buying a second one and using them with a field mixer.

good tips. Some cameras, like the Xacti 1000 have a wind noise reduction setting which might also help. I've heard that those furry mic covers work better than the foam ones, but what's your experience?

Generally, fur covers work better than foam. They block the wind more efficiently and muffle the sound less. We've never seen one small enough for a lav mic. That may be because they aren't as effective at the size or it may be an aesthetic issue (or both). Cheers.

I actually saw one in the B&H catalog called a Fuzzy Windjammer made for a lav mic by Rycote. They cost about $25.

Maybe you could get your subject to wear a shaggy coat. ;-)
