No gimmicks, no shallowness, no rehearsed facade. Just authentic, intelligent and relevant vlogging. Ladies and gentlemen Static CamperVan. Keep up the great work. We're all really enjoying your post 9-5 material Scott!
Hi Scott. Great to see you today! I enjoyed your review of the microphone. I think I like the last mic you used. I hope the manufacturer sends you a snug fitting connector. Looking forward to hearing their response to your inquiry. Please keep us posted ok? Sweet dreams my friend, and God bless you and guide you in all your travels. Cheers! 🤣🥂💃
Yes, I can hear the quality of the Blue Yeti in contrast to the lavalier and the built-in iPad mic. The lavalier makes it sound like you have vocal fry. Thanks for the tech exploration involved in gathering sound for your vids! Hope the new mic works better for your minimalist vanlife.
Man, that is a shame. It did sound pretty good. As someone with the luxury of a studio, I was unaware of such an issue with the Blue Yeti connection. I do know that the Blue Yeti and the Snowball were very popular with many TH-camrs. I am fortunate that I can use XLR cables and mics. Good solid connections with a thick balanced cable. I look forward to seeing what you get. I hope you have better luck.
I’ve been wondering about the Blue Yeti mic. I noticed it in your recent videos and was curious to know more about your new tech. Curiosity satiated. 🙂 Thanks for the review.
Your voice has always sounds great. There is a slight difference between the two mics. Clip mic have fun with Scott during the day. Yeti mic go out with Scott night😜
Reducing the background noise is a great feature and allows viewers to focus better on what you're saying without having to "strain" their ears, but I, and I believe many others, watch your videos because of the contents, not because of the supreme sound quality (it's not a music channel). Btw, I was surprised how good the built-in microphone on the tablet itself was and I certainly wouldn't be put off if you used more basic audio equipment. I believe that your loyal viewers are well aware of the limited space available to you in the van and seeing you use good quality gear just shows your level of dedication to this channel. Stay safe and comfortable. Looking forward to your future videos :-)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. What I didn’t convey well in the video is how much extra editing time it takes whenever I don’t use a good quality microphone. There’s a fine line between being a minimalist and having enough equipment to make these videos easier to produce.
Based on your video I decided to buy 3 Blue Yeti mics just 30 seconds ago. I like a fickle mic just like I enjoy a fickle woman and the challenge associated with it.
Thanks for another great share! I might suggest electrical tape around mike with a drip loop in the cord to stabilize connector, but you are right, the usb mini os OLD, but still used as I found out recently on my Garmin GPS :( You would think they would switch to a better connector... thanks again and all the BEST in your travels! Cheers :)
The wobbly boom arm doesn’t come with the Blue Yeti. There are better quality boom arms. As for the Blue Yeti itself, the sound is great. The old style USB connector the company is using, isn’t so good.
The Yeti mic makes it sound like you're in the same room with me, where the other mics sound like you're on the other side of a computer screen if that makes sense. I use hot glue for wobbly connections like that (since it just peels away later) but in your situation that's probably not doable! At any rate, I love your voice! :)
I've had the Audio Technica AT2020 USB mic for almost a decade. The things that make it convenient are why the quality suffers. All things considered, it's save me so much time it was totally worth the price. The Blue Yeti really gives your voice a warm tone. The 2020 uses the old school USB connection. If you break it, it's your fault.
Have you ever thought of getting in to voice acting, narrating or the likes? It's probably a job you could do on the road and man, do you ever have the voice for it. Also, podcasting perhaps? You have the best voice on YT by far. I love hearing you speak 💖
I agree. I've mentioned this to him before. I even thought of audio books that elderly people in nursing homes used to use. I'm not sure if it's still a thing or not. Maybe do self hypnosis apps or meditation? You have a clear, calming voice.
Yes you would be perfect for that. I think the audio book company is called ACX. My book should be ready by the summer and you can feel free to experiment on reading it for me.
Cool deal. Didn’t realize you were using an iPad Pro. I ditched the laptop in June 2019 for an “iPad Pro only” van office. 😁 Which video editing app are you using? I use LumaFusion - $25 or so 1 time fee and updated often. As for mics, I use the Tonor TC30 USB mic and connect it like you do to my iPad. Cost about $30 on Amazon. Comes with mic, mini tripod, pop filter and shock mount. It’s been working well for me. I’m actually using it today for an upcoming van build cost breakdown video. I totally understand how frustrating it is when it’s noisy outside the van. You need an “on air” or “recording” neon light outside. 😂🤣
My USB mini connection on my Yeti Blackout Edition is fine, what I hate is the janky 3.5mm jack and the crappy contacts on the volume knob.... My next mic will be a proper XLR studio mic, mixing board and a DAW.
The mike you hate is overshadowed by the quality of your voice. I am looking at using the blue yeti for my podcast. Thanks for the warning. I took don’t have a permanent setup for it so I will have to be on guard. There’s always a chance of getting a lemon with any purchase. Hang in there. Be well and stay safe.
I was sold on the Shure MV7, but the price is $250. Since I just got my tax return, I almost ordered one. But really, it’s just too expensive for my current situation. There’s a great TH-cam channel that gives detailed information on microphones: th-cam.com/users/Podcastage
I'm listening on my phone and didn't notice too much difference. Maybe it'd sound different outside? Idk. I like your voice either way. You need to make money with it.
The sound is definitely different listening on a phone. If listening with a good set of headphones or through a sound system, there are a lot of annoying peaks and background noise.
Perhaps I’m missing something but can you not leave the cable plugged into the mic and disconnect it at the other end where it plugs into the little Apple converter thingy? The Yeti sounded really good.
If you feel brave, use some fine pliers to pinch the metal case in the female end (on the mic), so it grabs the male cable end firmly. Of course, be very careful.
That’s a big microphone 🎙! Shame it can’t double as a coffee mug or pee bottle... it might not work quite so well after ‘use’, but at least it’s not a pointless purchase 🤔🤭😉😊
Clearly the viewers device will affect your results as much as your equipment. I am watching on an iPad mini and did not notice any fifferenceother than a lower volume from your new mike.
@@StaticCamperVan Weird... Yours are the only ones off a tick on my end! Oh well... no biggie! I won't lose sleep over it! LOL! PEACE! (And thanks for sharing!)
Hey man just a heads up, I have not been getting your videos in my subs i and have all notifications on I got the one today but the recent ones I did not
Thanks. Unfortunately, that’s an issue most small channels have. Notifications aren’t sent out for some reason. The only way around it is for me to get on a regular schedule. I’m aiming for a Monday, Wednesday, Saturday upload schedule. But that may be a bit ambitious on my part.
Desk top stand??? Where’s your desk, no wonder it didn’t work!! Rode lav gets a 6 iPad Pro gets a 5 Blue Yeti gets a 9!!! Loose plug, duct tape, zip ties? So what did you order??
So you’re saying that I should have installed a desk and that would have fixed my problem? 🙃 My suspicion is that there is a crack on the circuit board.
No worries Scott ,your melifluous,dulcet golden voice would sound like a heavenly choir from above using a rusty tin can with a string attached for a microphone🤗Just keep that Abe Lincoln/Moses look going and you could easily calm a riotous,horde of insane drugged up vikings or Senate stormers......take your pick! Testing,testing one two...😜😱😁
Colab with @tomgreen yakindalook like brothers anyways....hilarity would ensue in the desert with the triple digit heat and dehydration and all...think of the views!😁
@@StaticCamperVan what about a different brand of lav? It could edit out better than the old one and you would have a back up? That big one is only single purpose
Both mics are very limited as to their strengths. I have been trying to just use the lav mic, but the sound it provides inside, is very difficult and time consuming for me to edit. Overall, I’m very happy with the Rode Lav mic. It’s three plus years old and still works great.
Sir! I fear you have an allergic reaction to caffeine thereby causing migraines and, possibly horrible breath. Please consider. I don’t know you. Could be wrong. 🚐
@@StaticCamperVan oh sheesh, i was being honest... maybe if you talk not so close to it.... i think you need to rail it for a bit and ask people if they like it.... im no expert tho.... did you really gone it? i was just trying to be funny , cheers

@@StaticCamperVan Yes! I am so over these other self righteous fake personalities.
I've never had any problem with your audio. In fact I've sort of been surprised at how good it's been historically. And of course, I am an expert🧐
Haha ✌🏼

If I were still working, I would have bought a Shure MV7. It has XLR and USB. But at $250, it’s a bit too much.
Life is expensive!
@@StaticCamperVan Yes, the Shure is amazing. I have the XLR. I can only imagine the USB is high quality also.
Mine is the SM7B
Great review. I saw the Blue a few months ago and didn't buy one because of the outdated connector. I see you have the same issue. Thanks Scott
You are very wise! Thanks Wayne

From my experience, a girlfriend might be a better investment.
And you like Carolyn. She's been berry berry good to you. 😳
@@steveasher9239 I love Carolyn like a Maui swimmer loves sharks.
you'll be fine as long as you stay away from apple products

so I shouldn't buy one because of a wobble? I love the grind keep working the way you make your video, makes it have more retention respect for that
The wobbly boom arm doesn’t come with the Blue Yeti. There are better quality boom arms. As for the Blue Yeti itself, the sound is great. The old style USB connector the company is using, isn’t so good.

If the mic isn’t replaced under warranty, I might open it up. I suspect it has a crack in the circuit board.
I'm only here because I like the sound of your voice

I have LumaFusion but usually just stick with iMovie. I like LumaFusion a lot for specific purposes.
Not a bad idea about getting an On Air light! 😂✌🏼

Leaving it plugged in puts strain on the already weak connector.
If you feel brave, use some fine pliers to pinch the metal case in the female end (on the mic), so it grabs the male cable end firmly. Of course, be very careful.
Might try that. I’m going to wait until I hear back from Blue before I do any fiddling.
Better yet, you can tweak the male of the usb cable, by bending up those two little prongs. Look up "loose usb cable"
Interesting. What bothers me is that the company made a really nice sounding mic, but dropped the ball by using an outdated flimsy connector. Why?
Totally agree. We need to either shame the company into using better technology. Or stop buying their products.
Great Scott....you are starting to look like a Yeti!
Aww, Thanks! That’s a very good compliment.
That’s a big microphone 🎙! Shame it can’t double as a coffee mug or pee bottle... it might not work quite so well after ‘use’, but at least it’s not a pointless purchase 🤔🤭😉😊
Yeti was the best sound. Your lavaliere is the same sound as your iPad.
I'm sort of amazed you can edit videos on an iPad.
Editing on a iPad makes the whole process easier. The editing app that @Traveling Troy uses, LumaFusion, is a professional tool.
Clearly the viewers device will affect your results as much as your equipment. I am watching on an iPad mini and did not notice any fifferenceother than a lower volume from your new mike.
True. My biggest issue is the time it takes me to edit bad sound versus clean sound.
Nice video
Mic drop!🎤....Sorry l coundn't help myself 😝💜
the difference is notable, patience is a vertyre
The only issue "I" see is that when you speak is not in sync with what we hear! And that is with all 3 mics!
It’s all synced on my end.

Hmm, interesting. This Lav mic has served me well when I am shooting outside.
@@StaticCamperVan what about a different brand of lav? It could edit out better than the old one and you would have a back up? That big one is only single purpose

👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟👍👍
The only thing worse than micro-USB is mini-USB. 90% of the time it’s the cable at fault
I replaced the cable. The short appears to be in the mic.
Sir! I fear you have an allergic reaction to caffeine thereby causing migraines and, possibly horrible breath. Please consider. I don’t know you. Could be wrong. 🚐
Dry mouth is another symptom.
