Review on 🎙️ Enhance Audio Recording with Drift Ghost 3.5mm External Microphone by Dave Hock

Note. I didn't use it for audio/video recording but with an intercom I built. This microphone contains a permanently charged material (called an electret microphone) so no external power source such as an attached plug or battery is required. I connected it to headphones and a 3.5mm audio jack to create a headset with a microphone. I have this installed in my helmets when I ride a motorcycle with others. NOTE: IT IS NOT OMNIDIRECTIONAL. (Either plus or minus depending on usage). Sound quality at 60+ mph, with wind, was great and clear; I could understand the speaker without hesitation. It was like a phone call at home. However, it is more sensitive to vibration than to wind. The bumps usually register some noise, but that's not a problem for conversational use. For recording purposes, such as film or video projects, third-party audio editing software may be required to censor and mute these unwanted noises IF they are registered (you need to hit the mic hard if you're only standing in one spot, but compared to 60-70 mph on a bumpy freeway on a small bike with little suspension). Sound Quality: 9.5 / 10 - - - - (Great sound quality, but taking off half a star because it's clearly not an audiophile mic. Build quality isn't a big deal as the wires (~34-42 AWG) are in a molded Housings are rubber the sheathing at the end of the plug and crimped at the end of the microphone, also the soldering is good and in place, despite their small size, they are not easy to pull out or tear, also, there is no power supply required and the cable is long is enough, you don't have to worry about future purchases (e.g. a new battery or extending the cable), which means you can buy, use, focus on other things, don't worry.Although the foam serves its purpose of wind cancellation (yes it does), I found that it didn't reduce noise as much (probably reduced by 75-78% compared to another mic I have: Insten V OIP / SKYPE Mini Flexible). The microphone is black), but it is still sufficient, especially for less demanding environments (e.g. not on a fast motorbike). Build Quality/Durability: 9/10 - - - - (good enough, won't fall apart even with "unintentional heavy use" and will serve you well --- foam detached in one place) 1 meter cord, and for you Motologgers and adventurers: You can't go wrong with this microphone. EVEN if you don't have a DRIFT HD GHOST-S DIGITAL VIDEO CAMERA or a Drift Innovation HD Ghost Wi-Fi waterproof digital camcorder, you can use it with a computer, another camcorder, or even a phone (the latter can be subjective to the phone type). All in all a good versatile microphone with many uses and excellent quality. Other mics may cost a little less but don't offer as much flexibility as this mic. You can attach it to a shirt, collar, pole or, like me, even a stiff metal wire along the cord itself to make an adjustable boom mic! Em
