Tips and notes:

Tape a loose loop of the microphone cord to the inside of your clothing.
This provides additional strain relief for the microphone cord and isolation from unwanted noise.
Before recording an important event, record and play back a short test clip with the microphone attached to ensure audio recording is functioning properly.
