Vlog: Using Jawbone Bluetooth As Wireless Mic For Qik Video Streaming With Nokia N95 8GB

September 7th, 2008 • Mark Guim • Filed Under •

In my latest video, I show that you can use bluetooth headsets with Nokia phones for videos. I used a Jawbone with the Noise Assassin paired to a Nokia N95 8GB running Qik for video streaming. I think this is a great mobile setup for press or bloggers without an assistants who intend to do interviews.

Note: Video below might not be visible in some RSS readers.

My purpose was to show that bluetooth headsets can work as wireless microphones for our video powerhouse Nokia phones like the Nokia N95 8GB or the upcoming Nokia N85 or Nokia N96. This demo is a little extreme since you want your subject closer the camera for interviews… not two rooms away like I showed in the video.

    Nice Jawbone 2 demo! I'm guessing if you want to use it as a wireless mic for interviews try turning off the noise reduction and just holding it in your hand. I never tried it with mine but it could turn out pretty good.
  • I'm actually having a problem turning off noise assassin while taking video. I think we can only turn it off during a call.

    Noise reduction works too well on the jawbone. It won't pick up my voice once it is off my ear.

    Oh yeah that's how it works. And the noise reduction turns on every time the Jawbone connects.

    Very nice. Great little marketing for Jawbone 2.
  • Simple, yet surprisingly superb idea!
  • Mark,
    Great video, any chance you could do another video holding the included N95-4 mic (accessory) in your hand?
    Thanks,

  • the mic is too short. i think it defeats the purpose because you can probably just speak to the phone and get similar result.
  • man, you got the Jawbone 2? nniiiicee...i was thinking about getting it, but the first one works fine for me. Nice job on the video...can be really sneaky! lol
  • N95
