Getting the best audio quality for mobile video

In the interesting times collecting video content requires getting creative. Using mobile phones has become more acceptable which means accepting a different level of content quality.

While the quality of the video can be lower than normal, audio is one thing that can't be compromised. So how do you ensure that you get the highest quality audio for your project?

For starters, getting a microphone that can connect to your phone is a great option. Adding one of these to your toolkit will get better audio than your phone's built in microphone will produce. 

Another suggestion is to take notice of any ambient noise that could interfere with audio. This can include turning off any notifications on devices around you and making sure you don't have any loud air conditioners or appliances on around you that can create some background noise.

Following these steps can help ensure you get quality audio that your team can work with on the video project.
