  • One of my own tips gleaned from an audio engineer at CBC Television is if you find your lav too ‘present’ you can mix 2 mics in post. So you can set your lav at say 70% and your boom or shotgun at 30% and voila you can have the best of both worlds by adding some room sound. Play with the percentages…

  • That ball cap you are wearing can be an excellent place to hide a lav. Under the brim (which is black) use black gaff or paper tape to fix mic in place. Run the cable over the head and drop down the back of the shirt. Long hair will help hide the cable. No problem with head turns, as the hat moves with your head. Only works, of course, if the hat stays on!

  • Mark, you are a life saver. I have my first official documentary project coming up and you just happened to stumble into my recommended at the same time. I spent the last two days watching as many of your videos that I can and I have to say, the amount I have learned from you in just the last two days compared to ANY other documentary KZheadr is second to none. These videos have made me feel so comfortable with what I’m going to be working with. I have no doubts if you keep this up you are going to dominate this platform in the videography/photography sector. I appreciate you so much Mark. I can’t wait to see you become a giant here.

  • Excellent guide. For Mark, if you wear your baseball cap a lot in your videos, you could attach the lav mic to your cap's visor. That would be easy to conceal and make part of the hat, and it will still give a good distance from the mouth with minimal occlusion from the acoustic shadow cast by the head. Depending on eyewear, another place to hide a lav mic could be near the hinges and screws at the side of the glasses, but that depends a lot on the glasses styling. Maybe for content creators who shoot at a specific angle this is also a good choice. Nothing beats the hidden method you propose in this video, so I just thought I would share two more ways here.

I've found mic-ing up corporate peeps before interviews with my Senheizer G3's always a rushed process, and kinda uncomfortable too, because I'm very much in their 'personal space'. I joke about it to ease the awkwardness, but the 'rustle' often becomes noticeable about 5 mins into interview! I must get some tapes. Been thinking about it for ages.Thanks!

The hope is that it is only an software issue which could be fixed with a good develper.

  • I'm always learning, and I did learn the hard way that if the top surface of a cylindrical lav (no foam screen) touches a person's skin, the sound is virtually gone (the person's voice just sounds like a very, very low electrical murmur). Well, this happened with a Sony ECM-44B (shaped like the Sennheiser shown at 1:25), but later experiments showed it was not the mic's fault. I had let someone (in a t-shirt) mic themselves and just did not give the task the attention it deserved.
