Joby Wavo Air Review - wireless lav Kit Mic

Today Jack takes a look at the new Joby Wavo Air. The easy pairing system and the long battery life (up to 6h) bring your freedom to create to the next level. Ideal for Vlogging on the go, to create content far from the camera (up to 50m, 164 ft) or anything that needs your hands free . With its included lavalier and windjammer you have everything ready to start producing your best content ever.
The innovative JOBY designed modular mounting system gives you peace of mind to always be able to find the perfect position for your microphones, never being in the way of your creative flow. You can find a cold shoe mount and a GorillaPod leg clip to keep Wavo Air receiver (RX) perfectly positioned. A nice magic magnetic pendant is also included to position the transmitter and record your voice. Jack investigates to find out if its worth the asking price.

Price: MSRP £219.95 but can be found cheaper.
PROS:
● 50m range for long distance recording
● 6 hour battery life means less need to recharge
● Quick 2 hour full charge
● Great sound quality from both transmitter and lav microphones
● Includes a number of high quality, useful accessories for mounting
● Kit includes two receivers for dual subjects in recording
CONS:
● Transmission can be interrupted in busy environments like expos,
conventions etc.
● Design is a little vivid so not very discreet for interview set ups
● When using two mics, audio is recorded to both tracks so not independent
tracks per person. (i.e we dont get Person 1 on Left track, Person 2 on Right
track - it’s all combined).
● No carry case is included which might make losing the smaller accessories a
possibility.

Seems like a solid mic all round. They should look at perhaps making the colours a little more subdued.

[@JackWoodhams]

100% agree!

[@sandwich2473]

Very interesting, it's honestly a pretty amazing bit of kit
I think it's pretty cool, but personally I wouldn't want to wear a big vivid joby on my shirt :p

[@TomoyoTatar]

You can use it with a pc; they sell the usb reciever separately...

[@plantificationpodcast]

not fired up anymore that I bought this mic set.
No level led. I got it for the lavs
Nor is audio going to one track very professionals
And no headphone monitoring output. Bummed I bought it.

[@OneManShow1964]

Can the receiver be used while recharging from a battery bank?

[@JackWoodhams]

I'll test this for you when I get a chance!

[@ThePreparedWanderer]

The cold shoe is worthless. The receiver falls out

[@TownHouseFilms]

No XLR connection?

[@JackWoodhams]

Just 3.5mm
