Which mic is better for live streaming - the Samson Q2U or the Rode PodMic? In this video, I'll do a mic check, sound test so you can see...or hear...which one is the best mic.
By the way, I didn't do any audio processing or adjustments when I tested the Samson and Rode so you can hear exactly how they were recorded.
You'll also hear the audio from my Rode VideoMic NTG which is mounted on my Canon M50 Mark II. So you can let me know what you think about that one too.
Which one do you like best?
