"And action!"
Hello I'm Neil and welcome to the Happy Hut.
"HOUSE!"
No, hut-- [THEME FROM #DADDIRT]
Hello I'm Neil, welcome to the happy hut.
And it's a very sad day for me today because this is the last time that my YouTube videos
will sound like this because today I am unboxing this.
The BOYA BY-M1 lavalier microphone for smartphones.
So let's see what's in the box.
I'm going to do this with my son.
So this'll be fun.
"And cut!"
It's just come through the mail.
So why don't we get into tearing it up!
So like I do I just tear it up like that and then as you can see here is the box.
Wow look it's a really small box but look, it's the size of a hand.
So we're going to start opening it because we might use it for something way better.
Oh well done - because I've got small fingers, that's easier for opening.
There's the wire!
So this is the BOYA BYM1 - get it out because on the other videos it had like a plastic
case but I think this box is much smaller than the other videos on YouTube unboxing
Boya BY M1 microphones for smartphones.
That is silica gel to stop it getting condensation in the box.
Shall I hold it up to the camera?
Oh is that the windshield?
I'll show the box while you're getting that, I'll show the box.
Oh my gosh, you get one battery.
Hold it there.
I feel like we look like we're fighting on camera someone left a comment, they said you
boy is really badly brought up because he pushed his father's hand aside.
Did you see that?
And we're not - we're not fighting are we, we're just excited about it.
Yeah, so if you're the man who commented on that we're not fighting.
Yeah.
And you get this clip to clip on your book or phone.
And here's the main piece - you'd need.
That's the adapter.
That means you can adapt the 3.5 millimetre jack to a big... speaker... yeah big old jack
socket.
So like if we want to make an announcement, we could use this microphone.
Yeah and look there's the windshield.
Unwrap that - are you going to unwrap it?
Can I show the box?
Yeah show them the box.
Features, can you read it out?
Features clip-on mic for smartphones, DSLR, (those are the big cameras), camcorders.
Audio recorders, PC etc.
Yeah you're too young to know what a camcorder is aren't you.
I know what a camcorder is.
Wait, it's a corder cam, right?
Can you hold it up to the camera.
You get 6 metres of cable, and here's the microphone itself.
And that's the clip-on thing.
Let me show you this.
I might just put the thing on.
The microphone goes to this.
It says BOYA on it.
I'm going to have to pull this down to make it better.
Boya.
So there's a switch here, switch for cameras, and when you switch it down, off, battery
off, to use it on your smart phone.
If I open it up.
I really thought this would be different because they've definitely changed the packaging.
And then you open it up like that, you just unscrew it.
And it's got a clip on it as well.
Clip it to your belt or something.
And that opens.
And then the battery.
They give you a battery, that's kind isn't it.
Shall I put it in?
I'll put it in.
I should really read the instructions to see which way up it should go, oh it says on there.
Plus, is up.
Can I put the battery in?
There you go.
You just push it in to the plastic firmly and then can you screw it up?
Yep, my pleasure.
And that's what the connector looks like.
And can you see that it's got 3 bits on it, I wanted to make sure that something, oh yeah
put it on there.
Put it in that hole, if you want it to go into a big jack big socket, but here's the
3.5 millimetre socket for a phone and we'll find out if it works with an Android Alcatel
Idol.
And look, there's the instructions.
Wait, what is that bag for again?
That's to stop condensation.
Getting into the box?
Yeah.
Here are the instructions.
But why is it in here?
Using a microphone with a smartphone instructions.
If this looks like the kind of microphone you would like for your smartphone, or Android
phone, there's a link just under in the description to places where you can buy it.
And also, you can subscribe, if this video has helped at all why not click subscribe
in the bottom right hand corner or the link, and leave us a like!
Yeah, leave us a like if this has helped... or even leave a comment to say hi, it's always
good to hear from you.
This is how the supplied clip works.
Just clip it onto there like that and then, you can clip it to your shirt.
Have you got the windshield there?
As ever it's difficult to film and do this at the same time.
There we go.
Tell me when to turn it onto camera.
Okay.
Wait, Dad...
So sadly, at this point I was hoping to show you how the BOYA BY M1 would sound plugged
into my Android smartphone.
But, it didn't work!
It didn't work at all, and so I thought maybe it would be the connection, so I got a converter
because there are two different types of these: TRRT connectors, I got a converter - OMTP
to CTIA converter, that didn't work.
I tried a splitter, that didn't work.
I tried it on an Asus Zenphone that didn't work.
I've got a feeling, a lot of Android phones just don't take external microphones.
If you know differently, if you know a microphone that does work well, for those kind of androids,
leave me a comment, it'd be great to hear from you.
But I can't recommend this for an Android smartphone.
It looks great for any other kind of phone with that connection.
So what I've ended up doing is getting this, the Audio-Technica lavalier microphone and
just putting it into a regular camera.
There's a link in the corner, if you click on "i" there's a link to that unboxing.
And maybe that would help.
And I hope you manage to find an external microphone for your smart phone.
If this video and the unboxing has helped it would be great to hear from you, leave
a comment or give me thumbs up that would be a good way of letting me know - or clicking
on subscribe in the bottom right hand corner of the screen or in the link in the description.
There's also a link of where to buy this if this still does look like the microphone for
you.
And thanks for watching, I hope this has helped!
