Episode notes
Brady's Experience Using DJI Mic 2 On Lapel
- Brady recounts using the DJI Mic 2 clipped to his lapel for a recent video and praising its versatility for phone‑call and lapel capture.
- He notes it ships with two tiny mics and a receiver for about $350, making it useful beyond podcasting.
Old Gear Still Works Despite Looking Ancient
- Brady says they own older gear and long‑running tools with 'burnt in' screens yet still reliable after years of use.
- He contrasts that with newer all‑in‑one gear like the Rodecaster that he hasn't used but finds aspirational.
Choose Rodecaster Duo For Two Person Shows
- For simpler two‑person setups get the Rodecaster Duo to save cost while keeping Rode's preamp quality and processing.
- Duo cuts inputs and price (~$450) but keeps the same quality preamps as the Pro II.
