Tips For Buying Portable Sound & Video Products
There are many different types of digital and portable sound and video products on the market today. These range from small hand held recording devices, wireless devices that use a small form factor to full featured audio and video systems. Most all portable sound recording devices are very easy to operate and make great gifts for friends and family. Here is a look at some of the most popular types of digital and portable audio/video recording devices.

One of the most popular hand held recording devices is the bluetooth speaker. http://www.im-creator.com/free/thomasdavidson/thomasdavidson Bluetooth is a technology that allows you to wirelessly transfer data between electronic devices like your cell phone or laptop and a speaker or headset. Many newer phones come with bluetooth capability built in; this makes it simple to turn your phone into a recording device. A bluetooth headset can also be used as a video camera, allowing you to capture your vacation memories on DVD or memory stick.

Another popular type of digital audio and video camera is the digital camera. The advantage of having a digital camera over a more traditional camcorder is that it can pick up sound and focus with no flash. Digital cameras also have auto focusing and a higher recording resolution than other cameras. If you want to get the most out of your digital camera, invest in a good tripod. The tripod can help you to steady the camera when shooting video.

A newer version of the bluetooth speaker is the "WiFi capable" microphones. These devices allow you to pick up sound or view a recording without the need for a bluetooth transceiver. These newer microphones connect via a micro SD card and can be used in conjunction with either a digital camcorder or regular audio recorder. These can be an excellent choice if you travel often and want to capture audio and video recordings while you are away.

A standard audio/video camera has two ways to connect: either via a USB port on the device itself or via a FireWire interface. For those on a budget, a USB port is probably going to be your best option. If you are looking at purchasing a wireless microphone, make sure to check if the device supports software recording. This feature allows the user to edit and tag the audio and video files. Some devices even allow their user to view the captured image as well.

If you purchase a camera that requires no setup, such as the bluetooth camera mentioned earlier, you may find that it comes with its own software program. Most programs are free to download. If you opt for the software route, ensure that you are able to view the images on your computer as they are captured. You will need the right software in order to watch the audio and video files on your favorite television station or in your office. For those who do not have a lot of experience with the software, this can be quite confusing.

Some other features worth considering when purchasing portable audio and video products include editing and cropping. These features are available on some devices, but not all. Once you purchase your audio or video device, make sure that you read all of the instructions to ensure that you get the best performance from your product. The instructions will provide information on the types of media that are acceptable for the device, the size of the device and whether or not there are any digital optical audio outputs available. In addition, be sure that you are able to view the images on your computer; this can become quite confusing.


When using an audio product for a conference or seminar, always ensure that the audio and video are of the highest quality possible. If you do not see and hear the speaker clearly, it will be difficult for the audience to do so as well. In addition, do not rely too heavily on the portable device to deliver power and sound. Make sure that it works properly and is of good quality. Also, do not rely on the portable device for Internet audio streaming, if that is what is required of the audio product for your presentation.
