Also make sure you have a say in editing, you have to work on the premise that the editor and producers are total idiots, if there is anything technical that you say or do they will screw it up in edit. Time is of the essence with them and they will drop anything to get the time slot right.

You're kidding right?
No network will agree to have a pleb on for a few minutes have a say and sign-off on their video editing. Not going to happen.
Lawyer? You must be double kidding :palm:

If I were the producer, I would walk away on the spot because the candidate is clearly a meddling control freak, and therefore not worth the trouble.

That is precisely what would happen, I'd bet my life on it.

I suspect you won't find a pro crew using on-camera microphones.
The practice is roundly despised in production circles.

Who cares?
Fact is my audio is already ahead of most other comparable youtube channels, I get a lot of praise for it in fact, and it is more than adequate for the intended purpose.
For me to faff about for the extra 1% here really isn't worth my while.
BTW, no pro crew would ever use that Sony mic you recommended. And you still have the turning head problem associated with lapel mics. I know, I have a pro lapel mic and do use it where appropriate.
BTW, I don't know what you are talking about with the Sony ECM-AW3, it does not plug into a hot shoe.

I'll take the opportunity to :rant: :rant: :rant:
And don't forget to turn up the compression or these days it might be a "fixed standard" but I tells ya what and imo it absolutely sounds disgusting and very un-natural , that stuff on Tv and all those news , weather , and all sorts of stuff that is broadcast and nearly everone too .
Those suck-in breathing sounds and the breath out sounds , the yelling sounds , the small yet loud squeaky farting sounds Ha Ha Ha , the professional audio old timers from way back would be turning in their graves I reckon with the supposed great audio quality of today .
It reminds me of the stereotypical Cb radio operator (and ham these days) where everything is turned up to the right , so what I'm ranting about is all those supposedly professional audio engineers that do the weather and news are "just Cb'ers" using a different moniker .
over and out
Bring back Tubes ! , proper mics , and vote me for president!
