All of us here at iPhoneFilmMaker are always on the hunt for the best way to record audio when making films on our iPhone. The good news is that as our community grows there are more and more options for the best way to capture good sound. In the next few weeks we are going to be covering a few of the more popular cables, microphones and external recording devices that have been proven to be go to methods when using your iOS device to tell your story and make a film. Vericorder, KV Connection and Rode are just some of the names you will begin to learn about. Please leave a comment for us..C’mon don’t be shy- ask a technical question. Or feel free to make a request for us to cover something in particular on this topic.
In the meantime, have a look at this great little Y-Adapter made by KV Connection. It’s the iPhone 1/8 inch microphone and headphone adapter - 3.5mm 4 conductor TRRS Male to 3.5mm TRS Jacks”

ALM also offers an adapter with a pre-amplified headphone out, which apparently means you can monitor the sound while recording. It’s $60, so I guess it depends how useful you think that option will be.
Great blog by the way! I’m going to find this very useful.
