7. Dépannage

Le microphone n'enregistre pas le son :

Ensure the 3.5mm TRS-TRRS cable is securely connected to both the microphone and your smartphone. If using an iPhone or newer Android phone without a 3.5mm jack, confirm that you are using an original or MFi-certified adapter cable (e.g., Lightning to 3.5mm or USB-C to 3.5mm). Check your phone's audio input settings to ensure the external microphone is selected.

Instabilité du trépied :

When setting up the tripod, ensure the legs are fully extended and positioned to provide a stable base. If the phone feels top-heavy, especially in vertical orientation, adjust the angle of the ball head to center the weight over the tripod's base. Ensure the phone clamp is securely tightened. For heavier phones or accessories, consider using the tripod legs to counteract the weight, as demonstrated in the setup video.

Poor audio quality/excessive background noise:

Ensure the microphone is pointed directly at the sound source. Use the foam windscreen or the furry wind muff (dead cat) to reduce wind noise or plosives, especially in outdoor environments. Check for any obstructions blocking the microphone. The cardioid pattern is designed to pick up sound primarily from the front, so proper positioning is key.
