 Hello, I'm Neil. I hope this video helps. I'm standing in a weird position at the moment because I've got two cameras I Absolutely love vlogging with the DJI Osmo pocket and so I thought I'd make a video To see how the different microphones that you could plug in work and sound with the Osmo pocket This is the built-in microphone for the Osmo pocket that you're listening to right now I'm trying to talk a lot so that you can get a sense of what it sounds like But I've also got the Osmo pocket in a polar pro cage. I'll just go to the other camera there for a second Which is It's been really helpful, but I'm just gonna hand hold it now mainly because the Mic adapter that I'll show you in a minute that can clash with some tripod situations The way I've got around it is with a polar pro Grip I can show you how that works Because the grip cage has two tripod mounts I've mounted it on the phone side That's the grip that I usually use for walking around. I've got a tripod. Let's see how it sounds indoors So here we are indoors. This is how the DJI Osmo pocket sounds without any external microphone plugged in in a Room a small room. It's very wooden with a lot of hard surfaces what I wanted to do is to give you a full sense of How the Osmo pocket sounds straight out of the box and I also wanted to give you enough time to hear What it sounds like with each of the microphones So firstly, if you don't have an Osmo pocket already, and maybe you're watching this video just to see how the Osmo pocket sounds firstly, you'll need one of these which is a DJI Mic adapter for the Osmo pocket. It's about 35 pounds here in the UK There are links to all of this in the description But what I wanted to show you was how these other microphones sound These are other microphones that I use and I I love them each has their own advantages and drawbacks The first I'm going to show you is the adutage ETM 001 This is a absolutely tiny Microphone. It's about the size of a 3.5 millimeter jack. I'll show you the Saramonic SRXM1 now I've used this loads on my GoPro Hero 5 and what I love about it is that it's like a mini shotgun mic, but it also can be bent It can be turned in the direction that you want it to point So that's a great one and you won't recognize this because it will be wearing this Which is a comica dead kitten or a mini dead cat and it stops wind noise so that will be under that and Finally this clip on the valet mic the boy a BYM one Which comes with a battery and a cable, but oh sounds really good Now the next microphone. I'm going to show you is the edu No one I know can say this properly. It's the edu-tage ETM 001 Because it it just sort of points wherever it plugs in obviously if I just plugged it Straight into the mic adapter. It would just point downwards To the to the floor, which I don't really want so I've got this L-shaped jack Just a sort of point it in the right direction and it's not a directional microphone I'll talk about that in a second. So I'm going to plug it in like this There we go says flip the Osmo pocket round So I've got the edu-tage ETM 001 plugged in and I've got it on this L-shaped 3.5 millimeter jack Adapter and This is how it sounds the problem. I've got with the Edu-tage, so I'm holding the camera too close now the problem. I've got with the edu-tage I love it because it's small and it's just so easy to just plug and go But the slight problem I've got with it is that it's omnidirectional Which means I think it sort of picks up everything even my footsteps Make sure to do some walking with it You can do some walking later, but this is what it sounds like outdoors This is how it sounds just plug straight into the DJI Osmo pocket. I haven't got any Custom audio settings. It's all on auto and this is what the ETM 001 sounds like I think I've got someone behind me being audio bombed So we're back indoors with the edu-tage ETM 001 and I haven't got the L-shaped Adapter on so the microphone is just pointing straight down towards my desk at the moment but this is how it sounds indoors in a Small room Environments, I'm about arms length away from the camera. What you've probably noticed already I've not treated any of the audio in this video. This is exactly as it comes out of the camera I've not increased or decreased the level in the edit. What I love about the edu-tage ETM 001 is that it sounds louder It sounds beefier, but because it's omnidirectional it picks up everything around it So there's an upside and a downside to it. I love its size. I love it. It's just it's just a little stub It's fantastic Now the next microphone that you're hearing the next external microphone that I'm trying out for my DJI Osmo pocket I'm speaking quite quietly as well because it's a quiet day This next one is the Saramonic SRXM1. Let's get a close-up here now You can't really see it very well because I've got it I've got it underneath a dead kitten or a dead cat's windshield nice to stop the the wind noise But this is what it looked like when it came out of the box and What I love about this is that it looks like a mini shotgun mic But it's still small so it's still easy to carry around with you and use unobtrusively And then I put this massive windshield on But the big thing Second big thing I love about this is that you can point it wherever you want it to go And you can bend it a full 180 degrees each way. I'm touching it now. I can probably hear that So I'm just going to be quiet for a moment. There's a bit of wind Going on But this is a really small I think of all the setups This is probably my favorite because you can just hold it really easily. You can hold the Osmo pockets So that's the Saramonic SRXM1 into an Osmo pocket outdoors Let's see what it's like indoors and You've probably noticed already that I find the audio from this although it's directional So you can point it more towards your Your face I was going to try to say the word face and voice at the same time there. That wasn't going to work. I find the audio level is much lower than my other microphones and That can be a little bit irritating having to bump it up in the edit all the time But I love its portability I love that you can point it in the direction you want it to you can swing it around If you're behind the camera or in front of the camera, I'm not a big fan of those big Road shotgun microphones I find them a bit like they draw attention to themselves when I'm filming out on the streets Which I prefer not to do but this is the Saramonic SRXM1 And finally this I think is my favorite of the microphone options. This is the Boyer BYM1 This is what it looks like coming out of the box Actually bought this for my gopro hero 5 Absolutely love using it. I think it's probably the warmest sounding Just because it You're just putting the microphone closer to where you're speaking. I think that sounds the best Obviously, it's not very mobile But the upside is how it sounds. I think it sounds great. So we're back indoors again with the Boyer BYM1 I've got the cable running straight into my DJI Osmo pocket just check that I've switched it on and because it has a battery I had I kept forgetting to turn it off. So I've got this little memory device To switch off the battery so it doesn't run down between recordings. This is how it sounds indoors What do you think so far? Leave a comment if you have any questions. I'm sure someone would be able to help you Also in the description, I've put links to all of these microphones But this is how the Boyer BYM1 clip-on lavalier microphone sounds in a small room indoors And now we're back outside again just to give you a quick whip through the three microphones one last time This is how the DJI Osmo pocket sounds with no microphone in at all And this is how the Edutige ETM001 sounds with an L-shaped adapter so that it's pointing towards me and a Comica dead cat windmuff Which I've put in the description if you wanted to take a look at those This is how the Saramonic SRXM1 sounds there's a really quite a big breeze as whipped up What does the breeze do? It just happens, doesn't it? But there's quite a wind here And it's not coming from me And finally this is the Boyer BYM1 clip-on lavalier lapel mic with a Comica windshield deadmuff deadmuff dead cat mini dead cat windmuff like the other three Microphones have how do these sound for you? So there you go those are your options for some external microphones that you can plug straight into your DJI Osmo pocket if you have the slightly pricey DJI Osmo pocket mic adapter I think it's really worth it because the built-in microphone is fantastic and I've recorded so much Out on the roof on the streets the sound has been phenomenal but it does sound a bit rubbish if it's if you're in a windy situation or though We're not supposed to take this out into weatherproof situations, but it did in this video you see this bit of Rain on there You might be screaming at the screen right now So having to get it in and get it dry and you can click on the eye at the top of the screen to See my full DJI Osmo pocket in a storm test I just wanted to say that all of these microphones have Strengths and weaknesses and it does help to have an external microphone because I keep putting my thumb over the built-in mics It is distracting if there is even the smallest bit of wind, but of all of these options I think my favorite is the one I'm wearing now. It's the boyer. I've got this on hand ready It's the boyer BY-M1 when I'm outdoors the cord is a bit of a faff I just like having the microphone closer to my voice I think the the sound is warmer and I think I just feel more present In the videos Anyway, what do you think? Do you have a favorite? Do any of these work for you?
