I've found that the sound is better if I keep it off to the side out of frame instead of above. Especially if you have the setting to make it directional and aim it towards your mouth. You can speak directly to the camera and it picks it up.

I keep mine down and to the right. About 8 inches from my face. Sounds good and stays out of frame since my camera is a little above eye level.

Interesting. I tested out a bunch of positions before landing on the current one, but I'll go ahead and try to replicate this. Thanks!
