Shotguns on boom poles, lavaliers on actors, on-camera mics for run-and-gun. Video sound has its own toolset, and most of it doesn’t overlap with podcasting or music.
The mic on top of the camera is the farthest from the subject and picks up the most room sound. Real productions never use it. They use boom or lavalier. The on-camera shotgun is for vlogs, run-and-gun journalism, and times when there’s no other choice.
The Rode Wireless GO II and the DJI Mic 2 changed video production for everyone making YouTube content. Two pocket-sized transmitters and one receiver, no audio interface, mounts on a camera hot shoe. Real broadcast quality at $300 for the whole system. That used to be a $3,000 setup.
