 Hello I'm Neil and this is my audio test to see if I can plug my Newa NW700 straight into my DJI Osmo Pocket and you're hearing it right now here's I've got another camera over here hello this is what it looks like I'll show you the setup but firstly let's go on this camera I had a problem with this where there seemed to be a lot of hiss I wanted to see if you could plug a podcasting microphone something that a microphone that needed a preamp just straight into the camera just to see what would happen and it was fairly good but I think this might be better so what I've done hello there you are I've gone into pro mode up here basically with the phone attached to your Osmo Pocket if you hit on the three dots and you can either be in basic I won't let you change when you're recording I've changed it from basic to pro I think see that it's grayed out because it won't let you change when you're recording but what you can change while you're recording which really surprised me is that you can change it from auto volume to custom volume now I had it on auto before let's put it on auto and then I'll show you my setup so what I've done is I've plugged in my podcasting microphone so Neewa NW 700 and I've got that line going straight into my preamp box so I haven't got a mixer or anything I've just got it straight into the box and then I've got a lead that goes straight from that to a 3.5 mil jack if you follow the lead it goes all the way up to my Osmo Pocket overpriced everyone hates it mic adapter there you go and it's going straight into the Osmo Pocket now what I found is and as you can hear if I'd be quiet what I think was happening was that the auto level in the Osmo Pocket was just bringing up noise when I'm quiet and it brings up hiss so if I'm quiet for a moment it doesn't help there are people outside mowing but you should hear atmos not hiss so I don't know how that sounds uh interesting to see in the edit and let it go through onto the video and what I didn't realize was that I could go into the pro settings and set a manual audio level on the Osmo Pocket so what I did was press the three dots put it into pro mode the basic tab and a pro tab then go down to volume amplification level so it says auto if I click on that and choose custom you can now set the volume and what I want to do is to just keep talking I've got to think of something to keep talking so you can hear straight out of the camera how this sounds at a level of 10 vb which is the seems to be the default setting so I'm just staying silent there just to show that it doesn't bring up the hiss if you can hear noise it's my neighbors doing the gardening good for them right let's bring it up to 16 db and I might come closer just so you can get that full benefit of the podcasting experience so this might be of use to anyone who wants to podcast and video podcast there isn't a word for it yet that I've come up with or heard vlog cast it's the or vodcast it's the closest that I've heard but anyway this is the audio volume at 16 db and then let's let's give it everything let's put it up to 20 db hello uh let's put it back up on the screen so this is sorry it's my throat is going this is the level at 20 db and again you know this might be the microphone I'm sure you've got an even better microphone than me but I just wanted to experiment with what would it sound like if I plugged a podcasting style microphone or a microphone that needs a preamp directly into the dji osmo pocket and this is what it's like at 20 db if you set the level to custom so that you're manually setting the audio level so anyway that's my test really truly I'm going to stay I'm going to stick with this because I've got a feeling that this might be the best one the best of the three but I guess I'll see in the edit and you'll see along with me if you have any comments or even suggestions for how to do this even better why not leave me a comment down below I'll just be quiet again so you can hear some silence and if you've reached this point in the video why not give me a thumbs up let me know that this might have helped someone somewhere in choosing a microphone this is my test and the setup for the test thanks again surely that's enough audio for you now why not hit the subscribe button you don't have to watch any of my videos ever again but your subscription really does help me keep this going so I really appreciate it and maybe I'll give you a tour of this little setup that I've got bolted to the wall it's completely portable anyway thanks for watching and I'll see you soon can you please help my daddy get 1000 subscribers just click in the space thanks bye how was that
