How do different handheld “interview mics” compare? Let’s see how a variety of mics, pickup patterns, and wireless systems perform in a super crowded, loud, and signal-heavy environment!

I also want to give a huge thank you to B&H Photo for making it possible for Heather and I to attend NAB. We definitely wouldn’t have been able to make it happen without their help!
