How Much Does Mic Position Matter? (Shotgun Mic Test)

Does mic position matter that much? In this video I test a shotgun mic being on top of the camera and extending out towards me, vs. It being on a boom arm above me out of frame.

Thanks to @curtis mchale for the idea thought to try this!

Here’s the shotgun mic I’m using: https://amzn.to/3i9wpkW
