did you know you could use your AirPods
0:02
Pro as an external microphone when you
0:05
pair it with your iPhone in this video
0:07
I'm going to show you how you can do
0:09
that and we'll also compare it with a
0:12
cheap external microphone let's get
0:14
started last year I made a video about
0:16
how you can use your AirPods Pro with
0:19
your iPhone as an external microphone so
0:21
that you can capture good audio whenever
0:23
you are outside and your camera is away
0:25
from you i used pro video camera but
0:29
unfortunately now this camera gives you
0:32
a watermark whenever you record a video
0:35
to get rid of that you have to pay
0:36
rupees 300 which is equivalent to $12.5
0:40
if you don't want to pay to use an app
0:42
I'm going to share another good third
0:45
party camera app which is absolutely
0:47
free to use the app is called blackmagic
0:50
camera it is from the same developers
0:52
who have created the vinci resolve which
0:54
is an amazing video editor So you can
0:57
install this from the app store and go
1:00
to the settings area by default this
1:02
does not record videos in vertical
1:04
format even if you hold your camera like
1:07
this this will crop the vertical video
1:09
and will give you a landscape video
1:11
because this is the Blackmagic camera
1:13
which is mainly used for shooting
1:15
cinematic videos because it gives you
1:17
more control but we will be using our
1:19
AirPods as an external microphone to do
1:22
that you can scroll down and find audio
1:24
source where you can select AirPods Pro
1:28
currently there are three options none
1:30
iPhone's microphone and AirPods so I
1:32
have connected my AirPods now I will
1:35
record a sample on this camera just to
1:38
show you how it works so this is the
1:40
video sample that I'm recording inside
1:42
this Blackmagic camera and I have
1:44
connected my AirPods Pro to it and
1:47
hopefully the audio is getting recorded
1:49
through the AirPods Pro this is how it
1:51
sounds it can be really useful when you
1:54
go outside and if you hold your camera
1:56
like this and there is a lot of noise
1:59
your camera will have difficulty
2:01
focusing your audio and you might not be
2:03
audible so this is a good solution
2:05
because your AirPods are anyway with you
2:08
all the time now let's compare the audio
2:10
quality of the microphones of AirPods
2:12
Pro with this cheap external microphone
2:15
which I bought for my iPhone i have
2:17
actually created a video and posted it
2:19
on my YouTube channel if you want to see
2:21
you can check that out this is a
2:23
lightning adapter because my iPhone is
2:25
pretty old for the newer ones they have
2:28
also got USB type-C this does not have
2:31
any battery so it's plugand play all you
2:34
have to do is plug it into your iPhone
2:37
and the receiver has to be clipped to
2:40
your t-shirt or your shirt and it has to
2:43
be turned on by the way it charges via
2:46
USB type-C there's a type-C slot once
2:49
you turn it on there is a constant red
2:52
light which means it is connected to the
2:56
transmitter on the transmitter there
2:58
will be a constant blue light which
3:00
means there is a connection between
3:01
these two devices now let's check out
3:03
the audio so now this is the video which
3:06
I'm recording using the external
3:09
microphone connected to my iPhone 12 Pro
3:12
Max and this is how the audio is going
3:14
to be you can compare the audio of this
3:18
with the audio recorded using the
3:20
AirPods Pro and see which one is best
3:23
because I feel this is slightly better
3:26
but as per the convenience our AirPods
3:29
is always with us when we go outside i
3:32
bought this specifically for recordings
3:36
or talking into the camera to post on
3:39
Instagram like Instagram stories
3:41
whenever I'm outside i want to record a
3:44
good audio which is audible the problem
3:46
is I often forget to carry it with me
3:49
unlike the AirPods Pro which are always
3:51
with me so there is a bit of convenience
3:54
using AirPods Pro as external microphone
3:56
but you be the judge of the quality of
3:59
the audio so this is it in this video i
4:01
