So not the toughest build by any means, but it should serve its purpose.
I want to do a bunch of interviews. Most of these will be of the sit-down type in a controlled environment. To deal with those interviews I bought the Rode lavalier. It arrived today. Sounds wonderful.
The occasional interview, however, will be sort of a "man on the street" type setting where I don't necessarily want to be clipping a lav mic on person after person. So I took this old computer mic I had that likely sounded like crap when it was new but was markedly improved insofar as it didn't work at all. I gutted it, added in a little post, ran the lav through and clipped it on. I think I'm going to make a slightly slicker method of attachment and I need to hot glue the mic's switch in place so it doesn't rattle .. but the sound quality through the windscreen actually sounds pretty good. Not necessarily the most durable setup .. but the frequency with which I'll be using this called for a cheap and cheerful solution. I suppose now I can dress up the mic however I feel .. maybe add some more wind protection or one of those big news anchor boxes.
Cheers,
Dave
