Comment on Why are podcasters/vloggers suddenly holding tiny mics?

It started with the Rode Go mics which for $200 you get 2 mics and a receiver with some crazy good noise rejection and gain control. 40 hr battery life and easy to work with. There’s now several copies from dji and the like that are even cheaper.
YouTubers didn’t mind the blocky look as it let them get great quantity sound in not ideal locations, without messing with traditional lapel mics(boxy clips, cables and tape). The closer you can get to the mic the more background noise you can deal with.
It then became a trend. Just as Rode have come out with a new version that’s 1/3rd the size

Except most of the youtubers holding mics are doing that exact thing - except, instead of actually clipping the lavalier mics to their shirt they hold them up by the clip. Which is extremely dumb when you think about it.

This. Any time you’re not sitting at a desk/studio you need some kind of mic. And these new wireless mics work well. Now people are opting to not buy/use the big studio mics because the wireless ones work good enough and go anywhere.

I watch many videos that are not at a desk/studio and wonder why some YTers e aren’t using more mics.
