Google Pixel 7 Pro with USB-C External Mic recording demo'd here with a Tascam Portacapturex8

Another 'off the cuff' quick demo (don't care if you follow me or not) on how to get great audio into Android phones such as Google's new Pixel 7 Pro. Here seen recording with the Cinematic mode and an external mic.

We take a USB--C to USB-C cable out from the phone and into a Tascam Portacapturex8 (8 input recorder/mixer) USB-C input port to obtain superb professional audio quality - far exceeding the ability of Pixel 7 Pro's in-phone mic.

Like before, where I showed how to get HDMI Out video/audio from your LUMIX camera into a Android phone, we can do the same with pro audio accompanying the internal video - such as Google's effective 'Cinematic video' setting - a 1080HD 24p recording with depth of field capabilities.

The AF depth of field works quite well on the Android and is as good as the iPhone 14s Cinema mode.

What's also great is that you could take this backup visual/audio feed whilst recording with your LUMIX cameras - using the phone and external device (or other USB-C mic feed) as a B cam to your A cam (LUMIX camera) without having to lug around extra camera gear and instead using a lightweight phone.

V-loggers using phones should also be interested in getting the best audio they can and I really recommend something like Tascam's Portacapturex8 with USB-C capabilities.

The Sennheiser 8060 shotgun is my shotty of choice. It's just brilliant sounding and 100% reliable.
