  • does it matter what kind of mic one uses?

    could i do with a standard Shure stage mic?

  • You could definitely try that and it should work.

  • wow, a $10 microphone got all that quality?

  • They're getting better all the time.

  • so what if you don't have a power sander

  • Yeah, not everyone's got the resources of Joe ... I guess the point being made is to be as resourceful as possible.

  • how do u hook it up to the camera if the camera doesnt have a mic imput

  • @FiveSprockets My buddy and I haven't ever made a video and we're finally doing one but we're clueless, instead of the grinder can we just zip tie it onto a hockey stick? i understand it wouldn't be flexible but we"re broke as hell...

  • Imma try this on my videis to see if tjey make a difference

  • I'm building mine with a rockband mic (better than guitar hero's) and pluging it into an ancient lap top while recording on audacity. The next thing we'll need to do is make a shock mount for the mic so you don't get sounds from the pole itself.

  • I'm rather surprised at how simple this is, I'm going to have to try this before I start my film to check how good it turns out. Thank you kindly ^_^

  • @boddahmusic shotgun mic works best

  • What does a boom mic work for all cameras? Because I have a VPC-GH2 from Sanyo and it doesn't have a plug for the adapter... well at least I don't think, are there any other type of adapter plugs for a camera.

  • What kind of camera did you plug it in to?

    I've done a bit of research into cameras, and it seems like DSLRs are the way to go.

  • Thanks for this informative & entertaining video

  • people will tell you YOU NEED TO SPEND $1000 ON A MIC. ignore them.
