Summary: If you would prefer to watch: http://youtu.be/uOI554-6Alk Download Video Here Getting Great Audio With This Tiny Shotgun Mic and Tripod Mount for your iPhone today! The information we are about to share with you is literally a lifesaver. In our previous post “Filming a Masterpiece With Your iPhone” we showed you what the best app to use in shooting videos with your iPhones is and that is the Filmic Pro app. Having said that, the two things we are going to talk about in this post will do the exact same thing that the Filmic Pro app does, and that is making your videos instant masterpieces. Go for Better Quality Audio First thing we are talking about is the Belkin Shotgun Mic. (Amazon Link) You read that right, yes they make shotgun mics for your iPhone. You can get this shotgun mic for $39 on Amazon.com and I guarantee you that nobody is going to come along and say "You're using a really bad mic" or something like "the video is nice but the audio is messed up" because it really sounds good. Once you get that Belkin shotgun mic, you will just simply plug it to the headphone jack and you can record. Cons The Belkin Shotgun Mic has three settings 1. OFF, 2. 90 degree pickup and 3. “Narrow” pickup range or “long” rang pickup.While setting 2 works really well, setting 3 makes the human voice sound like its coming through on a cell phone. Thin and unpleasant. So we don't recommend using number 3 setting as your shotgun mic will sound like a cheap mic. Don't Settle for the "Shaky Cam" The other thing we want to share with you is a tripod mount for your iPhone. What this mount does is it allows you to mount your iPhone to your tripod. It will hold your iPhone very securely, allowing you to shoot with a steady hand. The cost of this tripod mount is $9, you can get that on Amazon.com. Conclusion The great thing about shooting your videos with your iPhones is that the accessories are really inexpensive. Again the shotgun mic is $39 for a big difference in audio quality as oppose to using the onboard mic. And the tripod mount is $9 which will allow you to shoot any video using a tripod.
