AirPods and video camera recording

Prior to using AirPods I would use the wired EarPods that came with my iPhone to capture audio when recording video in the Camera app. I just tried this with AirPods, and the mic is not sourced when the AirPods are active and video recording is taking place. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes you CAN use the Airpods as a way to wirelessly capture audio when recording video but not with the camera app. You have to use a different camera app such as Movie Pro. Here's my explanation and demo of what it sounds like. http://thestoryographist.com/blog-main/2017/5/17/use-the-apple-airpods-as-blueto oth-wireless-microphones-with-the-iphone
