It's difficult for the average person to justify purchasing a professional grade camcorder when the iPhone 4 does a decent job of recording HD video, so the simple acquisition of the Fostex AR-4i audio interface is all one really requires to accurately capture an important event.
The system is essentially an iPhone dock and case that feeds off of AAA batteries for a 10-hour life that won't drain your handset. The unit includes three separate jacks for the attachment of swiveling microphones, allowing the user to position them to preference depending on the direction of the sound and the orientation of the device. The hi-tech mobile phone accessory can be fixed to a tripod on two sides and a Fostex AR-4i app will allow the videographer to control the sound input.
