For years, I have been experimenting with microphones to record nature sounds. Today, we are focusing not only on bird and wildlife photography but also on videography. Videography is essential since we occasionally sell nature-related footage. In this video, I ramble about my experience over the years with various microphones. Microphones are not all created equal, and even though quality matters - ease of use and minimalism is also an issue when the goal is to keep everything in one bag.
