  • That camera audio gain is always too low on all external microphones that I've tried. One way of boosting volume is from a command-line video processing tool like this: (also converts to mono)

    mencoder -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame -af channels=1,volume=30 infile.MOV -o outfile.AVI

    I often add switches to shrink the video a little: -lavcopts vcodec=msmpeg4:vbitrate=3000

    If you prefer GUI instead of command prompt, similar effects can be achieved with tools likes "MPEG Stream Clip" etc.

  • @boredvalleykid Or simply turning up the volume on the camera. It would help to edit the audio too to switch it from mono to "stereo".

  • Love your camera stand,10 points for thinking, I love simple solutions. Yeah your sound levels are a bit low and maybe you could have adjusted it in camera. I just reviewed Giant Squid's Podcasting Stereo Lavalier mic on my Zi8, its a great microphone, check it out.

  • it sounds clear but your volume sounds very low ...try a different lavalier :)
