When choosing to purchase a microphone it can be hard to decide between a lapel, boom or handheld. First what is the difference? 

A lapel microphone is going to be the smallest microphone that is going to be attached to the subject and can be hidden under clothes. It's going to have a pack that is attached to the speaker and, if wireless, will allow the speaker to move freely. 

A boom microphone is either going to be attached to the camera or to a boom pole. This will allow the microphone to be out of the shot, and you don't have to worry about it hiding it under clothes however they can sometimes pick up more ambient noises within the area. 

A handheld microphone is one that is going to be shown in the scene and is like a news reporter holding a microphone. 

Just like everything in video marketing you want to start with the end in mind and think about what you want your videos to look like to determine which microphone will be best for you. Personally, I prefer to use a lapel microphone when able.
