On-camera microphones are essential tools for capturing high-quality audio directly from the source during video production. They are used to enhance audio clarity and reduce ambient noise, making them ideal for interviews, vlogs, and documentaries. Selecting the right on-camera microphone involves considering factors such as the type of content you're producing, the recording environment, and your budget.

In contrast, lavalier microphones are small and clip onto clothing, providing discreet, close-range audio capture, ideal for interviews or presentations.

Setting up and mounting an on-camera microphone involves attaching it securely to the camera's hot shoe or using a dedicated mount, and ensuring it is properly connected to the camera's audio input. Key features to look for in an on-camera microphone include directionality, frequency response, build quality, and compatibility with your camera.

Wind noise can be reduced by using windshields or deadcats, which are furry covers that minimise wind interference. Battery life for on-camera microphones varies, with many offering several hours of continuous use, but it's essential to check the specifications for each model.

On-camera microphones can be used for live streaming, provided they are compatible with your streaming setup. Connecting them to a DSLR camera typically involves using the camera's audio input jack, often a 3.5mm port.
