How To Get PERFECT Audio In Noisy City Streets around London!

7 views
Capturing great audio outdoors can a F**King Headache!—Background noise like traffic, loud people and every car on the road honking it's horn while you record can feel like obstacles. In this video, I take you on location in Central London to show you how I approach audio by not only placing muics correctly but also building it into my videos. I'll show you a couple of different microphones and Mic placements in real-world environments in and around London's super-busy King’s Cross & St Pancras Stations.

Featuring the DJI Mic 2, Rode Wireless GO and the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Onboard Mic. These tips apply to any small mics!
