A rather dramatic sky over the cockle ponds. A poor worker always blames his tools. Mine are mainly a clumsy microphone, yes that’s it my mic is clumsy. The frustrating thing is that if you use a cabled microphone, you obviously have a long cable to deal with. A wireless microphone on the other hand is whole other order of inconvenience because you can’t just Bluetooth or wirelessly connect your mic to your phone, it has to connect via a receiver, which means a wire in some cases.
I’ve used the small lavaliere mics before, and they do work well, but the clips can be flimsy, and the last one I had I lost the receiver. It fell through the gap between the boardwalk planks of the Haslar Marina Pier wall.
I’ve got a better mic now, the receiver (and the transmitter, the actual mic) are too big for that to happen again.
All I need to do, is get out there and use it.
