Though apparently nomophobia is a fear of not being in mobile contact, which makes sense really as I can’t imagine Boris being afraid of nom.
OK, so I thought everyone knew this already but it seems that it hasn’t gone as widely as I assumed.
I picked up this hack initially from Jackie Danicki at Qik who did a little video of it. That led me to google “external mic for N95″ and this article
So in order to make it work you need an N95 and the TV-out cable (with mini-jack and three-way A/V connectors) that came with it. If you threw the cable away, you should be able to get one for a few quid on e-bay. Then you need a female to female phono adapter – the gold one in the picture below and a female mini-jack to male phono adapter (the black one) – both available from Maplin for a couple of quid each.
I use the external tie-clip mic that I’ve had for ages (again from Maplin I think and about £20) it’s one of those with a battery driven pre-amp. The mini-jack from the mic gets joined to the A/V cable as shown.
And err… that’s it. If you check out my post where I interviewed Oli Barrett, you’ll see an example of a video shot with this set up. I’ll try and do another one showing the difference more starkly, but there’s an example in the shelbinator article above.
I’m just writing this at social media camp in front of a bunch of people who came expecting to see something much more interesting and their being very polite.
