I found a very cheap and small microphone at a shop called Biltema here in Norway. I thought I would just buy it to test it since it was so cheap. After some tests I was quite surprised about how good the sound quality was. Therefore I tried to make a lapel microphone out of it. My solution is a bit simple, but if you use some time, you could make something very nice =) The microphone is called “mini microphone” and the supplier is “Biltema”. Unfortunately I think it’s only sold in Scandinavia. But check out your local shop. They should sell something similar =)

Can i use it on 550d?
Skal ta en titt på biltema. Takker for informasjonen.
I´ll search something similar there in Brazil. thanks for the nice review.
Simply incredible quality for so inexpensive mic. Better than most sony I have seen. Thanks for the nice review.
I love me a cutie handyman:)
try to mate! try to mate!
så butikken i Finland men det e jo skandinavia hehe
Absolute genius…that was so professional, you have a fantastic photographic eye
‘attach thing’
a lavaliere is very similar, but it is different in the way that it cannot be put on a collar, it must be taped to your cheek
it’s called Hama Mini Microphone or Hama 57151
De har oppgradert den nå 😀 med “innebygd” clip 🙂
Its AU$20 so final price depends on the exchange rate of the country your in. But its complete with a clip and cable. Or you could get a shotgun type designed for video camera use for AU$50, with the bracket supplied it looks like it mounts to the camera’s hot shoe. Ill be looking at the shotgun type for my personal use in the near future.
How cheap? Like under $5?
Great tip, great insight, lots of talent – excited for your future
Bra jobba! må testes ut : )
For the people in Australia, NZ, UK, US and Canada, you can buy the mic with clip already attached from Jaycar Electronics quite cheap.
nice
Nice, Sounds good. You should compare the quality to the built in mic of your iMac.
and i think this is also called a lavaliere mic…i think lol.
kudos on ur english, btw, makes a world of a difference between us two cultures 🙂
It’s actually a Hyundai PC / Notebook Angled Mini high-powered Microphone. Found them here on the web for $5 buck-a-roos at dealextreme.
Forget the mic. This guy is gorgeous
wooh, det skal jeg så sykt prøve til min 550D, tusen takk for tips!!
wow, that’s awesome. Sound is my next project, getting that to work, so this came at a good time. Thanks for sharing.
