The Cameras that keep losing focus isn't the Sony A7S III. Sony's AF is REALLY GOOD now! Videos about these other cameras coming soon on the main channel ;)
Thanks for the tip on the Movo mic, fellas. I just picked one up off your link, and as a 25+ year audio engineer/recording studio owner, I can confirm that the Movo definitely does NOT suck. Really good value for the money. Great vid as always!
I don't either but I would say that his speech was a bit more rigid than a local or native I have heard proper Japanese and it's hard to understand at times
What I love about you Gene is how excited you get over the simple things like your mounts you just got. Your the only channel I sub because you just seem to enjoy what you do and your not doing just BS vids to get likes. BTW I have that movo mic cause I cant afford a Rode and my friend had the Rode and its sounds better than the Rode
The one thing about the logo. Lows seemed impressive. But when you switched to the movo (wearing headphones) I could hear the fire a lot more, whereas on the rode the fire sound is reduced much more. That’s just this test but it’s really cool. Would love to test that.
I used to just write straight on the inside of the window with a white board marker - works great, and some of the bad ideas stick out pretty easily in the light of day, so to speak... 9 floors up, looking out over Dallas btw...
I have known about the movo and seen comparisons but never one that had outdoor real world test (It was always indoors). After hearing it side to side with the rode pro I am shocked.
The Movo sounds good, on my phone speakers at least. And that QR is exactly what my monitor needs! So, like many things Gene shows me, I bought it. (I still don't have an action cam but I sure have something to spin one with...)
The Rode mic has an overall flatter pickup pattern and can pick up higher frequencies Up to about 15khz as opposed to the movo's 12.5 to 13 Khz, while the movo offers more depth around the 100-200 hz range resulting in a more rich and deep sound, albeit at the expense of clarity in the highs (5-8 Khz) which is what the brain uses most to differentiate one word from another. Additionally the flatter pickup pattern of the rode offers numerous benefits when it comes to getting the best audio quality in post, and is an indication of its ability to pick up sound from further distances and at wider angles than that of the movo, so with a faster moving subject thats more difficult to keep in the "hot spot" of the microphone the rode will definitely serve you better if you are looking for the best quality overall, but the movo is great for simpler run and gun type film making
Fun and informative video (as usual)! I think the MoVo actually sounded best. Seemed to pickup a bit more of the lower frequencies to give more full sound. And those Kondor Blue accessories look pretty sweet!
Man I cannot wait for your course. I did the beginner course you made on udemy and I was blown away how simple you made everything. If someone is looking for a great course to understand camera basics I’d highly recommend checking it out.
I used the Rode Video Mic Go on my a7III and i had constant buzzing till i turned the camera in airplane mode. I now got the Zoom H1n and its so much better and more usefull
I have the same mic as you Gene but also use Boya for back up and they sound as good slightly better and mega cheap ! I have their entire brand including lav.
Movo make pretty good stuff, got a gimbal adapter for my quick release ball head and a lens cleaning kit delighted by both. Their mic sounded much better; nice to know.
Hey gene to organize ideas I love to use Dynalist. It's a list making text editor that is super neat. I've used it for all my music and video projects. If list workflow is something that makes sense to you. I'd check it out. Any app like Dynalist does the trick
OMG I have been using the MOVO since I started really vlogging... Thank you for that test.. Also using another cheaper mic.. The Moukey.. Definatley some cheaper alternatives
Hi guys, first - i'm a new fan of your channels! I think it's a little funny (with LOVE :)) that your camera/film guys talk about what microphone is best and the really good one cost 300 bucks, my self is a pro soundguy that is occasionally making sound to TV, when i mount a mic on a camera it cost plus 1000 usd :) Video guys talking about mics in this video It's like sound guys talking about the good and bad camera lensens from Amazon, and the really good ones being the entry level canon lenses :)
Gene :* Shows new camera accessories for monitor mounting* Me: " I MUST GET IT NOW !" My Wallet: "YOU'RE BROKE DUMMY " 😭😭😭 Why camera gear gotta be so expensive ?
Can you do a accessory list for filmmakers who need bifocals to help use focus better? I rely on camera EVF + glasses loupe + focus magnify. But on set, rigging up the camera is terrible for me. I get yelled at by producers and directors sometimes when i miss focus on quick shoots. I always have to bring a Camera Assistant but clients never want to pay my assistant fee.
The Rode Micro sounds really hollow and the lack of depth is really apparent with that comparison! Same with the MOVO, but it sounds less shallow and the bass tonnes are far richer than the Rode Micro. The Rode Pro + obviously has a captures a much wider ranger of tonnes compared to the other two and you can really feel the spacial separation between everyone around the fire, but its almost too rich i feel. Maybe its just picking up way more bass frequencies and they're crowding the low end. Super interesting comparison Gene, as always! Ps: A big yes to the master class my dude!
I have the MOVO and it's SOOOO GOOOOOOOD And would recommend it, because it's sooooo cheap and you have amazing sound !!! Rode is sooo overpriced and you can't replace one if you are just starting out...
The knockoff has a little bit of phasing in it that bothers me... Not sure if that comes from the polar pattern or what, but even though I prefer its frequency response, I would stick to the rode because of how precise the polar pattern is and how much more detail there is in the low-end. (I'm not talking volume, I'm purely talking how accurate is the sound reproduction of the element in there) Also the micro sounds sooooo thin it's just not fair to put it against the others
The Cameras that keep losing focus isn't the Sony A7S III. Sony's AF is REALLY GOOD now! Videos about these other cameras coming soon on the main channel ;)
Can you do a video on EXTREME budget talking head setups like under 300 quid kinda level
@@HarjaapSingh maybe like a used a5000 with a 50mm 1.8 adapted along with a 20 dollar light kit and ur phone for audio on a selfie stick outta frame?
How is the 1DC? It can be had for pretty cheap now
Nice! I was scared for a bit there
The camera that keep losing focus is the Red Komodo???
Hey Awesome! Great to see you enjoying our gear! Thanks
I was getting so nervous with this dead cat so close to the fire.. lol
Thought for sure we were gonna see it flame up..
He was like,
"yeah, I love the mic so much.."
"Oh crap my mic is on fire"
Saaaame
@7:21 sure it'll catch the fire!
Those cats and their eternal lives
Disappointed that Gene didn't visit the film set of the floating house.
Tomorrow Movo is going to be wondering why all their Mic's sold out in one day.
Gene: Tell us about your personal life.
Armando: I have a venus fly trap.
Wow, the MOVO mic really does sound better than the Rode micro.
Movo is dope. They also make great windscreens that I use on all my Deity Mics.
That Movo mic It’s pretty dang good I might have to pick one up
Move and saramonic are great
You mean pick one UP?
It reminds me of Boya By mm1
StudioGeek32 Nice I wish they would send me one out for free
@@BadKarma714 Gene has to get sponsored first :) That could be a great suggestion for give aways in future sponsored videos though :)
After listening to 13:30, who now wants to hear Gene speak Japanese on the next vlog. 🙋🏽♀️ 👍🏼 P.S another great vlog mate !!!!!!😄
I do
I’ve been watching a ton of japanese content lately
A ton
yes please LOL
Yes! I’ve been learning Japanese since February and always wondered if Gene spoke any. I was definitely surprised when Armando started speaking! Haha
Yeah same....Japanese is such a cool language..hopefully he reads this comment..that would be so cool..👍🏼 lol
“My acting’s f**king BOMB” 😂😂
From looking at a production studio to discussing microphones there’s really no 1 genre to a vlog. Next episode you should visit mars while you at it.
Thanks for the tip on the Movo mic, fellas. I just picked one up off your link, and as a 25+ year audio engineer/recording studio owner, I can confirm that the Movo definitely does NOT suck. Really good value for the money. Great vid as always!
It's really weird seeing Armando on all the camera channels because I used to be deep into tech reviews TH-cam and I watched all his phone reviews!
You are a household name with this other channel and very noble cause and donations you make. Hats off. I started my channel recently.
MOVO SQUAD!!!! Lol
That was my first mic I bought and was never upset.
TH-cam’s most popular TH-camrs right now: Armando and GeraldUndone.
Gerald is in a different league. Armando is too much of a Canon fanboy.
Pewdiepie: Am I a joke to you?
Add Philip Bloom as well.
@@THEMATT222 yes
@@RandomTheories 👍
Armando busted out the Japanese like a boss, well done sir. 👏
Also I don't speak a lick of Japanese but I assume he did it right. LOL
I don't either but I would say that his speech was a bit more rigid than a local or native I have heard proper Japanese and it's hard to understand at times
I have the same quick release. It rocks.
Can you do a video on comparing the sigma 16mm f1.4 at 30mm using clear image zoom vs sigma 30mm f1.4
I love cheap, good mics! I have a Takstar and I swear by it! Love it! $35!
What I love about you Gene is how excited you get over the simple things like your mounts you just got.

I was just thinking... I wish I could watch a new potato jet video. And BOOM there you are!
As soon as y'all started talking about a cheaper but better Rode I looked over at my little Movo
I used to just write straight on the inside of the window with a white board marker - works great, and some of the bad ideas stick out pretty easily in the light of day, so to speak... 9 floors up, looking out over Dallas btw...
Wow that roset Adapter is super amazing! Will buy it for the c300 I am using from uni 🙈
I have known about the movo and seen comparisons but never one that had outdoor real world test (It was always indoors). After hearing it side to side with the rode pro I am shocked.
You don’t really understand how much i would love to take a bite off that donut since it’s randomly 12:30 am and i’m hungry
Not going to lie, you two are ridiculously cute together. Always nice to see you both smiling on camera.
Really cool the studio, thank you for sharing
Literally love all of this🖤
That movi is insane?! The quality audio out of that is amazing
This was awesome!
The Movo sounds good, on my phone speakers at least. And that QR is exactly what my monitor needs! So, like many things Gene shows me, I bought it. (I still don't have an action cam but I sure have something to spin one with...)
The rode go mic is quite good! I'm just worry if there be interference using indoor, I hope gene make a review video of that if possible 😅
Is it just me or is Gene looking like the guy from parasite who was in the basement when he was in the cell
The Movo has a flatter sound to me, which I prefer. Have you found that backdrop hanger system you were talking about?
The Rode mic has an overall flatter pickup pattern and can pick up higher frequencies Up to about 15khz as opposed to the movo's 12.5 to 13 Khz, while the movo offers more depth around the 100-200 hz range resulting in a more rich and deep sound, albeit at the expense of clarity in the highs (5-8 Khz) which is what the brain uses most to differentiate one word from another.

Movo is here in Socal. You should look them up. I'm sure they'd be happy to invite you to their warehouse.
I used the Rode Video Mic Go on my a7III and i had constant buzzing till i turned the camera in airplane mode. I now got the Zoom H1n and its so much better and more usefull
This episode is well produced. Great editing. Gêne is getting really good at vlogging.
DSLR video shooter's review on the Movo VXR10 made me wanna buy it - I'd say it's really good for the money you spend on it.
Am I the only one who got nervous every time the placed the mic near or over the fire? Thought it was gonna burst into flames at any moment😂😂 🔥
I took the other two courses and HECK YEAH, another that is more in depth and add some real world shoot sets and scenarios. Let's go!
i also bought that movo mic a while back because a few videos i watched showed it sounding better and i was also tight on money lol
This is the first time your vlog ends without a weird cut
You should try Notion to help keep track of your projects. Theres a few tutorials on youtube workflows like from thomas frank
I have the same mic as you Gene but also use Boya for back up and they sound as good slightly better and mega cheap ! I have their entire brand including lav.
I have the Movo mic got it like 2 years ago and it’s great! I agree!
Movo make pretty good stuff, got a gimbal adapter for my quick release ball head and a lens cleaning kit delighted by both. Their mic sounded much better; nice to know.
Venus fly trap vs Caterpillar , I'd watch that
I have one of those movos their pretty good
I've always wanted a noga quick release solution :o it's in my list of film inventions lol
I always get a kick when u two team up. Great stuff!
OMG you did a proper ending!! Cya and everything...
I love the Movo. What I chose to purchase. Sounds warmer and fuller to me than the Rode. :)

Did you use Sony 7AS III? As quite a lot of focus problem....😲
OMG I have been using the MOVO since I started really vlogging... Thank you for that test.. Also using another cheaper mic.. The Moukey.. Definatley some cheaper alternatives
2:10 Yeah what the hell Armando, spitting Japanese bars out of no where.
Hollywood studio... Life goals.
I use the Movo and it's incredible

I like how it goes from, "Hey, cheap knock off $40 mic!" to condor blue hundreds of $$$
Whas blown away by the Mike 🤯

Me: " I MUST GET IT NOW !"
My Wallet: "YOU'RE BROKE DUMMY "
😭😭😭 Why camera gear gotta be so expensive ?

I know auto focus is getting better but on complex shots sometimes i can't rely on AF. Can't wait for to buy a Sony A7siii
That movo mic was really really pleasent to listen to
at 7:41 is probably not the best way to place a laptop. haha , is that an ipad??
I love the movo microphone
might buy the movo for my phone
Gene! Where can i buy that fire pit table!!!???
Can't wait for the potato jet video on this
I have the Movo and a Boya microphone. Both sound great and are $20 cheaper than the Rode equivalent.
Gene can you make those epic b roll product videos like those other dudes on TH-cam I want to see what you can come up with
That Movo mic sounds dope. I'm Sold.

Ps: A big yes to the master class my dude!
Use Notion to track your video projects. Thomas Frank has a TH-cam video notion template you can use enjoy!
The Movo mic costs $200 in India. I hate my life. This is why I can't have nice things.
@A Filmmakers Dream Are you sure? Because that's available for $20 and I can get it on Amazon. What makes you say they're the same product?
@A Filmmakers Dream Amazing! Let me know the results if you can! I might get one myself.
@A Filmmakers Dream Interested if the BOYA BY-MM1 and the MOVO mic are the same, might get one myself.
Holy crap that Movo sounds great
Caleb from DSLR videoshooter did a review/ suggestion video on the movo last yearish
The Movo mic sounds pretty good.
I have the MOVO and it's SOOOO GOOOOOOOD
And would recommend it, because it's sooooo cheap and you have amazing sound !!! Rode is sooo overpriced and you can't replace one if you are just starting out...
The Movo rocks, love mine! No power or on off button to forget.
@Alaska Pirates so good! Simple, sounds good and always works.
5:33 he is using Snapseed app
I own a movo thanx for letting me know i made a good buy!
DO THE COURSE!!!! I’ve completed all your others :)
The knockoff has a little bit of phasing in it that bothers me...

Hey Gene, what are your thoughts on Deity Microphones and their line of mics for filmmaking/ vlog type of stuff?
Movo mic is great. I’ve been using for a year
I keep being afraid the fire table is gonna catch the dead cat on fire! Dude! Be careful!
Sold on the Movo. Just bought it before the video even ended. $40 for that amount of quality? I'll take it!
Darrin Villa-Howells the problem with them isn’t the quality, it’s the shock mount. The mounts r apparently super cheap and brittle
Armando should redo "The Little Shop of Horrors"....holy crap I'm old 😆🤣
4:51 Holy shit, Gene! You got Jared Leto in your Vlog!
I wonder if you tried out Trello. Looks like your project sticky note wall, lol.
You should release the course both as a paid version but also a free version with a ridiculous amount of ads
