KXAN Reporter: Kate WeidawHi Kaleb!
This is actually a better question for the photographers. They are the ones who mainly handle the equipment. We do have some reporters who have to use their own gear and hopefully they will get back to you. But we don’t get a choice on microphones – we use the ones the station provides us. When a microphone doesn’t work it’s usually because the battery is dead so we just replace the battery. Maybe there is a connection issue between the battery pack and camera. The standard rules for using a microphone is to make sure it is pointing at the person being interviewed but isn’t coming through too loud in the camera. Good luck with your project!
