2.5mm Microfone

[MattFazakarley]

i phoned maplin the other day for one for my contour+ 2.5mm mono and they diddn't have one. I ordered one off ebay and it works perfectly, you can have different lengths 2m to like 10m i got the 2 meters one and fed it through my helmet. The best way to describe it is like the mics they have on tv that clip to there cloths.

any chance on sending me the link for the one off ebay?

I had a wander around Maplin yesterday, they have a few but are the ones where its an inline mic with in ear ear phones.... i dont know if that would be any good though

Word of advice on mics... I bought a decent Olympus ME-52W and it is just too sensitive, you need a dead cat the size of a bear to cut out the wind noise. If you start with a lower spec mic but have close placement to mouth and good dead cat it will probably be better, because the mic does not have the range to pick up everything around it. The other alternative is a very expensive powered mic that allows you to adjust the gain setting ect.. but this is probably over kill for vlogging.
