Nice to see something with a useful difference in the super crowded market for these little wifi-based mics. I like how small the transmitters are, and the case seems well-designed, with room for lavs, furries etc. The dual 3.5 stereo outputs are a smart way to keep the system small, it would be really nice if cameras started incorporating matching dual 3.5mm inputs so we could skip the XLR box and the bulky adapter cable.
I'm a postgraduate student and right now my qualitative research work needs something relatively cheap, compact, convenient and simple to use that allows my old Zoom H1n recorder to deal with multiple interviewees at the same time. This might just be the ticket! These wireless gizmos used to be really expensive back when I was in graduate school. Thank god for these Chinese brands.
The camera itself doesn't need to support 4 channels of audio if you have a separate audio recorder, like the Tascam DR-701D, which will record 4 channels separately, and mix them to 2 channels for the camera's scratch audio track. Syncing really isn't that big of an issue, although some beginners may need to practice doing it a few times to get comfortable with the process. Using the separate recorder also gives you the option to mix the 4 channels as you want, including balancing levels and even panning them across L/R space, producing a decent final mix that may not need any syncing in post. Surprised to hear that 2.4Ghz is more reliable for you than UHF, since it's usually the other way around.
This is a kool audio kit that am thinking of getting for interviews how so ever here is a draw-back where you have to raise or lower the volume on the device instead of the receiver which should have had mute buttons as well so the guest don't play with the volume as all the audio mixes as one. Even if the receiver is a little bigger it should allow you to control each mic separately & lastly the lav mics should have been included even if it would cost a bit extra. P.s you forgot to TEST the Noise Cancellation.
im planning on doing my first live podcast at an event and will have 4 guest on my live show. i will be broadcasting on streamyards to several social media accounts - can i connect to my laptop via usb and have the 4 mics work
Comical is a beast I had the UHF ,the wireless ,lav and the gun mic...in EU UHF is much better and less crowded the 2.4 GHz is well full of everything... Love the possibility to record inside the mic and actually not bad sound for interview...of course it is not Schoeps Quality but your job is done...I hope in time comic la will do some affordable TC solution like Deity TC1 or tentacle...
UHF has given me nothing but grief, static, and hiss regardless of device and all the scanning methods and optimizations. UHD is why I avoided wireless for so long and went for only wired solutions whenever I could. 2.4GHz might have less range or be less pro but it’s either in range or out and I very rarely have issues. Works so much better for me.
Do you know if you could run 2 or 3 sets of these at the same time? (I have a legit use case for this, which is kind of hard to explain in a video comment, but it would be amazing if it could!)
@@awitchwhofilms93 Oh, I didn't see that! I'm a videographer in Detroit and looking for better ways to record improv groups. Lav packs (and they wires) just don't work for this setup, and I'm thinking this is the ideal solution!
Get a zoom recorder with 4 xlr ports then buy 2 3.5mm-to-XLR cables and connect the 2 3.5mm jack of the cables to the two ports on the side of the receiver and run them to the zoom ports
@@kevinmuchiri696 What I'm trying to determine is if more than one of these devices will interfere with each other, or if they know how to assign themselves to different frequency ranges if there are more than one in use. Hooking them up to my Zoom H8 is the easy part. I actually ended up contacting the company directly and they told me that only 2 sets will work together at the same time, but that they have a similar product that would work well along side two of them. I might have a (albiet expensive) solution for imrov theater recording!

What about with iPhone? ( I have 15 Pro Max) Using 4 singers?
Like Alan said, surprised you had more problems with UHF than with 2.4GHz, which is generally more crowded.

@@_tographer Thanks for the clarification! Darn, I had been looking at that Deity Theos packs. Maybe I need to rethink it then.
I think it really depends on your geographic region. I’m in Phoenix AZ but maybe you’ll have better luck?
Best way to run this for a multicam podcast?
Hey Can I do this set up with a Eos Rebel T3, have 4 different tracks
No link to the lav mic?
Does this microphone work with the computer itself?
Do you know if you could run 2 or 3 sets of these at the same time? (I have a legit use case for this, which is kind of hard to explain in a video comment, but it would be amazing if it could!)
In an amazon review, a person detailed how they used two sets to their H8N. I've been looking into this set up as well!
