If you're looking for the best lavalier microphones on the market, then look no further. As microphone specialists, we go beyond music application, working with podcasts, video, film, and live production.

lavalier microphones, often referred to as lapel microphones, are the best choice for both film audio and stage production, as they allow you to broadcast & record audio without a handheld or visible microphone.

My first experience working with lapel mics goes back to when I was in high school, helping produce tutorial videos for a company I worked at. I didn't know at the time how involved I would be with microphones, and now having used them in almost every possible setting, I get to share my greatest insights with you.

For this article, we've compiled a list of the best lavalier microphones for everyone, no matter your budget. From high-end to beginner-grade, our list is completely inclusive so you should find the best option for your price range.

When used by itself, the Sensyne isn't going to be a game changer at night, but when paired with daylight, it's powerful enough to fill in shadows that natural light leaves. I was very happy with how well it softened out wrinkles - unlike portable LED panels.

The light is difficult to look directly at when at full blast, so keep that in mind if you intend to use this with a camera or phone attached to it. The bluetooth remote is easy to connect, and all it really does is act as a volume up button to start and stop your phone recordings and take pictures. Pretty cool though. The only real complaint I had was the buttons were a bit laggy at times.

Verdict

I recommend the Sensyne 10" Ring Light. It's excellent value for the price. It's brighter than most other budget ring lights, the tripod is great, and the color temperature range is good for daylight. Combined with the included phone grip that can be adjusted to vertical and horizontal orientation, this is one of the best budget ring lights for both TikTok and conventional video.

The only other thing I can ask for is some sort of clamp to attach it to a desk, but with the 1/4th inch thread on the ring, you can buy a desk clamp separately if you need it.

If you want a light that's even brighter than this or one that comes with a desk clamp, I've reviewed and compared the Neewer Advanced Ring Light to the Elgato Ring Light in this article.

The Sensyne 10 inch ring light is a step above most budget ring lights. It's bright for its size, comes with an excellent tripod, and has 3 color temperature settings. It also comes with a phone grip to make TikTok production easy.

This can be an absolute game changer for so many reasons, including content creation, privacy and security, and your own mental health and wellness as a social media manager. It also makes it a lot easier to get others involved in creating content. It can be a smartphone that only has WiFi access too, you don't have to set up a phone plan for it.

Don't be afraid to just go for it and try something new, even if it seems ridiculous or you're not sure how well it'll be received by your audience. You'll likely very quickly find that the stuff you thought FOR SURE would flop are the things that end up with thousands more likes than your other content.

It's okay to start small, start with stuff that doesn't always feature faces (books, mascots, etc.). You can work your way up to the masterpieces, and not everything has to be a masterpiece!

Whether that be book reviews/recommendations, humor, relatability, cinematic works of art, etc. Also think about the stuff that makes your library unique and lean into that, like an amazing stained glass panorama (@uvulibrary) or weird Green Terror mascots from the archives (@hooverlibmcdaniel).
