Shooting videos outside has always been a daunting struggle for filmmakers. If you’re using an integrated mic, you’ll often find your visuals stunning, but the sound is simply lacking, usually muddled and distant. It’s like listening through a thick wall of noise pollution or hearing the sound from a fishbowl! Thankfully, a shotgun microphone can effortlessly eliminate such issues.

It doesn’t matter if you’re filming in high definition 4K if your sound quality is poor. Your content will come across as unprofessional and nobody wants that. That’s why investing in a decent mic system is essential for vloggers.

Performing live is a whole different beast than recording in a studio. With the noise, weather, outside elements, and accidents waiting to happen, it can be hostile to your audio gear, especially your microphone. Still, your mic will be your best friend during performances, so it’s necessary to pick one that delivers well despite it all.
