My Project

Often when creating video projects in our grade, the logistics of finding silent areas to record is very difficult when just using the microphones on the iPads. We typically have to live with there being background noises throughout the whole video. However, by having these lapel microphones it would make it so much easier to create these projects and actually be able to hear the subject of the video talk.

These microphones also open up the opportunity to create a new range of projects that are more focused on audio rather than also having to have a video component.
