Do you frequently find yourself watching the videos you’ve recorded on your iPhone and wishing you had better, higher quality sound to suck you back into the moment? Do you mind a mildly-obtrusive boom mic sticking out from your iPhone when you record your “home movies?” The iPhone Boom Mic is probably as close as you’re going to get to professional quality sound on a mobile device unless you drop some serious coin. For $40, this boom mic (which just slips right into your headphone jack) will improve the quality of your videos with either directional, or super-directional, recording. It isn’t heavy. It doesn’t require a second person to hold. It costs less than a night out at the bar. Most importantly, it actually works. Pick one up and find out if you really do have some *insert Inception noise here* Spielberg in you.
