Lapel / Lavalier Microphone Recommendations

Noblejoker on 18/04/2019 - 14:38

Looking to record some small videos for FB etc.
(yeah I know but it's for work and the gurus tell me it works)

Need to buy one maybe 2 lapel mics to make the sound quality bearable
Any Ozbargain-style* mic I should know about?

Ozbargain-style = good enough quality at a cheap price

Thank you

      Thanks mate - have you specifically used this item and is it ok?

        Looking through my order history, I've bought one in 2017 … but haven't tried it, must be somewhere in my stash.

        I bought it because there are over thousand good reviews.
        You can read through them.

          Not sure ANY online reviews are worthwhile these days - apart from OzB of course!
          Gunna buy a couple for $2 - what have I got to lose except $2?
          Still up for some other recommendatiosn if anyone has them

            @Noblejoker: Mine is similar and cost 89c from Zapals. It works fine and I use it for conference calls but if you boost the volume too much you will hear some significant microphone hiss which may be annoying to listen to if there's no other noise to mask the hiss.

            If you know how to use Audacity you could probably reduce the noise (manual here)

              @scrimshaw: Sounds like it just needs basic noise reduction filters.

    Watched a YouTube video the other week about the Clippy EM172. Quality sounded pretty decent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IF2Ycp0PRQ
