A lavalier microphone can make a big difference to the sound quality of smartphone videos. In this demonstration, I'm using the SIMPLE LAV-MOBILE lavalier mike by Stony-Edge (approximately $39). It is connected to an IPhone 6+. The mic works with most smartphones and Tablet Apple & Android Recording Apps.  IMPORTANT: Set the phone to "Airplane Mode" when using an external microphone. This will prevent static interference. To hear the recording, it is necessary to unplug the lavalier microphone.

My lavalier microphone eliminated most of the road noise from a nearby freeway when I walked along the San Jacinto River.  This is a beautiful area with many trees, bushes and wildlife.  The sandy banks contain occasional gravel bars that were brought to this part of Texas in pre-historic times.  These include quartz, agate, jasper and petrified wood.  For information about the gravel bars see my video:  http://youtu.be/1Gg_7S-N_m0  Ryan Wallace has also written about petrified wood in the San Jacinto River:  http://www.hgms.org/StartPageHTMLFiles/PaleoPetrifiedWoodArticles/2003-6RWallaceScienceFair.pdf
