Building A Travel Audio Recording Toolkit

Many people outside of the filmmaking industry do not realize that audio is just as important as video, but those within the industry understand that audio is crucial.

Budget cameras usually provide poor audio quality, so it can be important to simply get an audio toolkit, but there are some mid-range cameras that provide sufficient audio quality that is better than what some expensive cameras provide.

The audio recording toolkit should be lightweight and small. Only around three microphone inputs are usually required for the travel audio recording toolkit.

A shotgun or cardioid boom microphone is usually essential to add to the toolkit.

Cables are important to add so that microphones can be connected to the recorder.

An audio bag is important to use with the travel audio recording toolkit.

There are additional accessories that can be added to improve the quality of the toolkit.

Key Takeaways:

  • People outside of the filmmaking business believe that video is the most important feature, but those within the business know how critical audio is too.
  • The audio recorder on most budget video cameras is usually not sufficient to produce quality audio.
  • When assembling a travel audio toolkit it is important to use reduce the size and weight of the toolkit.

“It’s important to note that building any on-location travel audio recording toolkit will depend on the types of shoots you support.”
