this is for improving the sound when you're using your phone for recording video.

sound is very important for video.

often, the main difference between "movie" and "TV show" is how good the sound is.

an extreme example: South Park. it has the worst animation ever, but the musical numbers are Broadway level and extremely professionally produced, which adds to the entertainment/comedy value.

I get it. But then again, why with your phone instead of a pro camera? Is it a technical choice, amateur-ish gear or something else?

Thanks for taking your time to explain

the main purpose of professional equipment is to save you time and effort though. you can "rescue" audio/video recordings from inferior equipment with some careful choices when recording and post-processing after the fact, but this takes time and effort.

professionals are trying to save time and effort because this lets them service more customers faster, so it's justifiable to spend a lot on fancy equipment.

but most professionals will tell you that you shouldn't spend on such fancy equipment before you're starting to get the gigs to justify it. they're *not* very snobby about the equipment, really. most of them started out with something modest.
