Summary

When you're not using an external microphone:

  • Do not plug in any earbuds, as the built-in microphone will likely ruin your audio
  • Cup your hand around the mic at the bottom of your phone, like an ear
  • Hold your smartphone ½ to 1 metre away from your subject
  • Make sure you're filming in a quiet, indoor environment so background noise won't ruin your audio
