    Thanks for this review. It's convinced me to buy it.. I think, but note for future reviews, you need to be aware of the type of microphone you are using to know how to properly attach it for the best results. In both instances indoor and out you had the mic incorrectly attached. It's obviously a Uni-directional mic meaning it captures in a cone shape starting at the receiving point to focus on one sound source, odd choice for a lav as most capture in a heart shape (omni-directional) and unidirectional mics are specifically for out door use? But I digress.
    You need the mic to be aimed in the direction of the source of the sound.. this means center mass and as close to your voice box/mouth as possible for the best clarity. Where you had it in the first test shot was outside of it's receiving range (cheap mics need help) and the second shot was pointed away from your mouth toward your shoulder.
    BUT when your mouth WAS in the proper position to where you attached it, it seems to have good performance for $50. So again, thanks!

      Thank you for your input, and yes we agree it's uni-directional so the top is where the sound is being sources into however for a lot of lavs we will actually have the mic pointing downward because it eliminates the hard "P" pops that people can make. Sometimes when it's too close you can get those pops which is annoying to fix in post. Just about all our speaker videos we will mic them like that- ruclips.net/video/D6sYcitOPA4/видео.html For quiet speaking people, upward and as close as possible is key. Hope you enjoy the mic and would love to know what you record with it! :)

    Thanks for the review.
    It’s a huge advantage for me. Doing what I do I get separated from the camera way too far to be tethered.
    I tried my normal Bluetooth headset that works great with my phone but it sounds terrible with my video app.
    My headset does a good job of noise reduction but that seems to create a conflict with RUclips, meaning it sounds better before I upload it.

  • @instanttherapy
    @instanttherapy 5 лет назад

    I bought this after watching YOUR video. I plug it into my now extinct Huawei phone that used to be free on Straighttalk so that I can make RUclips videos (I'm a hypnotist in Bakersfield, CA but born and raised in L.A. just 120 miles south). I walked around my house and the recording was loud and perfect. Good, because on stage, I'll never be more than half that distance away. I also bought a boom box with a 1/4" jack for MIC's and this mic is also a PA system: "Come on over and experience hypnosis!" The future problem will be the wire on the mic is real thin, and I end up breaking things, so I expect to upgrade one day. By the way, I'm thinking ANY lavaliere mic that plugs into a 2.4G transmitter should work with this receiver. So then you'll just buy additional plug in mics and not the receiver each time. I'm just saying.

    • @FinancialPotion
      @FinancialPotion  5 лет назад

      Happy to hear it's working well for you! If you are going to change or upgrade the microphone you do need to make sure that your microphone can sync up to the receiver, that may be the issue when switching that part of the system however I have never tested it out myself. Please share how it goes if you do switch the microphone.

    It look like you had the mic pointed down I think when you wear a lapel mics you're supposed to have it pointed towards you, and it should have gave you a little better sound.

    • @FinancialPotion
      @FinancialPotion  5 лет назад

      For the most part yes, however by having the mic pointed down it will actually minimize the popping "ps" that can happen when some people talk.

    • @FinancialPotion

      You'll want to get a 2nd microphone and then get a y cable adaptor to be able to plug in both receivers into the same audio input. You can find the adaptor under "cords and accessories" and it's the first product listed- financialpotion.com/video-equipment-recommended/

    • @FinancialPotion
      @FinancialPotion  5 лет назад

      Yes they work very well together. You'll just want to get a Y cable splitter. It's the first item listed on our equipment recommendation page under "cords & small accessories" at the bottom of the page - financialpotion.com/videoequipment/

  • @huyked

    6:51 That's a good point about not being able to monitor it while recording. That's a big deal, unless you figured something out, or tested another adapter that allowed it to work(?).

      Yes I do wish you could replace the microphone as well as I know even with our more expensive lav mics we have had to replace the microphone, however these have been working well and I always suggest a wireless mic over a wired mic. A wired mic would be fine if you're always going to be stationary doing videos at a desk or something.

    • @FinancialPotion
      @FinancialPotion  4 года назад

      Whenever you record in open spaces it's always going to sound different than recording in smaller tight spaces. For the most consistent and dense sound you want to record in a smaller carpeted room or a room with sound proofing on the walls. Does that answer your question?

    • @americangoose9416
      @americangoose9416 3 года назад

      A very late reply and I'm not a pro, but from past experience I have not been able to hear my computer except the occasional quiet keyboard tapping from my own recordings. I would also recommend wearing a pair of earbuds, if not, I'm almost certain regardless of the type of microphone you have, you will always hear your own computer output. Keep in mind it also depends on how far away you are from your computer, and how loud it is. Along with that, on zoom in the advanced settings of your audio tab, there is a noise gate/noise suppression. This means that it will mute your microphone whenever your voice is not speaking, it's a very useful tool.

    • @FinancialPotion
      @FinancialPotion  5 лет назад

      We have an H4N and an H6 we could test on. We have never tested with that since when we use the Zoom we tend to use our Sennheisers goo.gl/EF8d82 or RodeLink Mics goo.gl/iDBrwg when we do that type of a production. Since there is a line out 1/8th in jack on the side I would image they work and honestly for the price the sound is great! Not as good as the two mentioned above, however you can see the price difference. They work really well with your computer, tablets and phones, those we have tested, however I would image they would work well with the Zoom H5N with the line out 1/8th in jack.

    I plugged the receiver to the horseshoe piece (on the mic part) and plugged it into my Samsung S6 phone. When I plug it into the phone message pops up saying "earphones connected". The blue lights worked so they're synced but I don't think the phone is recognizing the mic, because when I tried to record something, the mic isn't working. I have tried plugging it into the earphone part but still get the same message. I have tried to look into setting on my phone but do not see anything for audio setting? Am I missing something, or doing this wrong?
