- Today I'll review the microphone Saramonic Blink500 Pro B1.
This is a wireless microphone system which comes with one transmitter and one receiver. You an also find the Blink500 Pro B2 which includes two transmitters and one receiver.
If you are looking for a wireless lavalier (lapel) mic, can this be the best vlogging and professional microphone?
And can this be the replacement if the RODE Wireless Go?
This lapel mic can reach up to 100 metres distance from the receiver on a clear-of-obstacle linear field.

Où peut-on trouver les spécifications de cet appareil vs le Blink 500. Présentement je me questionne sur la capacité versus la distance. Je suis déçu de mon achat. Le Pro me semble moins performant que l'orginal.
You deserve waaaaay more subs than what you have now. Appreciate your vid. From Philippines
Hello and thanks for the comment, much appreciated. I love the Philippines. Stay tuned!
Gran bel video! Bellissima la parlata in italiano con il tuo babbo.
Grazie.

I'm just getting this vs the Rode GO II. I dont need two recievers as its just me.
$250~ CAD for an entry level mic is a steal.
The quality in this price range wont be that different.
For everyday vlogging.. this will do the trick. If you're doing large scale projects, then you'll move into a higher price range.
Good review!
Hi Alex. Thanks a lot for your comment. This is probably my most used microphone. I only had loss of signal a couple of times. If you can, always monitor your audio. Other than that I relaly enjoy using it. Consider to subscribe for more reviews
@@MamoAir I find that I'm getting some static/hissing. The actual audio quality is great, but there's some interference.
@@DreamHomesWithAlex HI Alex, thanks for the update. I am sorry but I have not faced that issue. Get in touch with Saramonic maybe :-)
Great vid. Quick Q -- my Blink B1 seem to record audio louder on the right ear than the left. Your audio sounds balanced though. Did you have to edit the audio to balance? Thanks!
Hello there, thanks for watching the video. About your question, I have a question for you first...on what camera do you record your audio and do you record on 1 channel or 2 different ones?
I usually record the audio in mono but on 2 different channels (on the same camera) and with 2 different microphones, so the final audio, once imported in an editing software, always sounds different from the left to the right channel. In any case, yes, it is something you can fix in the editing software by choosing the same mono track for both left and right channel. Hope this helps
Great video Mamo Air ✊✅
Thank you!
Great job and very entertaining. Still weary of getting the blink 500 pro because I’m afraid of dropouts even though I love the charging case and included lav mics, etc. I’m leaning towards the Rode Wireless Go 2. Your thoughts?
HI Jeffrey. Thanks for the comment, I am glad the review was helpful. I have never used the Rode one, sorry, so I cannot answer your question. I have to say though that I have been using the Blink Pro for all my videos now and never had a problem with it, also cause I never go more than 10 metres away from the receiver. I live the portability and case. You might wanna check also this review I've done for a Godox Mic. ruclips.net/video/99Yh3ijY4Vo/видео.html .
Consider to subsrcibe as more microphones and gear are on their way. 😉
@@MamoAir hi man, thanks for the review. which do you think has a more stable connection (non-line of sight) and better audio when compared? the blink 500 pro or the Godox WMicS1 Kit?
What an awesome and helpful video, thank you so much :)
Glad it was helpful!
Nice backflip 👍
Ahaha thank you
Great my frend
Hello there. Thanks for watching. I hope the video was helpful!
Thanks for this review. Do you have lost signal problem if recording done within 10 meters? Do you edit the sound from the saramonic mic in this whole video?
Hello. Thanks for the comment. I used the Blink 500 for the whoke vlog, yes, and I didn't face any signal issue within 10 metres. But I had provlems at longer distances. Watch the video for the tests. Hit subscribe if the video helped you. More reviews are coming. Ciao
Stay clear of the Blink 500 Pro. I had two B2 sets. Rubbish. Why?
-Very bad frequency response
-A lot of harmonic distortion above 2,5 KHz
-Dropouts in real-world use even within 5 meters!!!
-very high latency (62,35 ms!!!)
-unreliable
-no level meters
-stupid paring ritual
Good points:
-Packaging (charger box)
-Accessoires
Go for Rode Wireless Go II of the new DJI.
@@MikeHageman Hi Mike, thanks for your feedback, good to ear other experiences
What noise level does it has when everything is silent? Tks
Good video but I don't see the link to buy the Saramonic Blink500 Pro though
Hi Johanna, thanks for the comment . You are right about the link, I am waiting for the manufacturer to send me the link...apologies, I will keep you updated as soon as possible! Consider to subscribe for more reviews meanwhile

Hello, thanks for the comment. Consider to subscribe for more reviews
hello, is it possible to add one transmitter to the B1 pro system later or I should buy the B2??
Hello. Thanka for the comment. I recommend to get directly thE
B2, if you need a dual microphone. I am not sure if the B1 will work with an extra transmitter. You might need to ask to Saramonic. Stay tuned here for more reviews
Hello. Is there a big difference between the Saramonic B500 PRO and the regular B500 ? Is it worth $100 extra ?
Hi Ellis. Thanks for the question. I never tried actually the B500 so I cannot say. But I can see already that the pro comes with a display while the B does not, for example. I think the audio quality would be very similar but the blink pro might have sone extra features.
Consider to subscribe to my channel. May be I will review the B500 soon 😉
what do you think about the sound quality vs the Sennheiser? in the video there was a huge difference
Hello. Thanks for the comment. I honestly like the Saramonic sound too and couldn't find much of a difference, as I mention in the video. One is a bit more high-frequency oriented. I guess it is a preference at the end of the day and you just need to get used to that sound. I enjoyed the Blink 500 and it is so portable! You can check another video recorded with the Blink500...to hear how it sounds, if it helps: ruclips.net/video/wRlC8ddKfLo/видео.html
@@MamoAir thanks for the quick response :)
I just watched the video, as I am not a vlogger, I will use the mic mostly for interviews. but sometimes the subject will be located more then 5 meters away from the camera and the transmitter will be hidden in his back pocket.
I saw some videos that the sound has dropouts in that case, what do you think??
BTW where do you live?? it looks beautiful
I also read that it has problems
@@GIFMAN27 Yes, the loss of signal was the only problem I had but I was more than 5 metres away from the camera. I live in Italy at the moment ;-)
My Grandma said you should never wear a hat inside the house
Ahaha. Thanks a lot for the advice, I will keep it in mind. Say hi to Grandma. Consider to subscribe for more videos!
Question can I buy more transmitter to have 4 people speak and record to my Android phone?
Hello there. You can get the kit with 2 transmitters and that is all you can do with this type of microphones. You cannot link 4 transmitters to 1 receiver. Hope this helps.
Stay tuned on the channel for more
How much do you set for mic gain TX and RX? Thanks
Hello. Usually I keep my microphones to 0db. But you need to check for every camera so you might need to increase yours. Just make sure you do not push it too much
I read that the old blink 500 had a latency of 80 millisecond! thats a 2 frames late on a 25fps timeline. Do you know if the pro version fixed it? Tks
Hi Felipe, thanks for the question. I am not sure about the latency but I haven't noticed any problem. Can you tell by my video? 😉
@@MamoAirI didn't notice, but as I not an english good speaker, my atencion wasn't on that. Also, I am a beginner on this subject, so its hard to say. Thanks for the video and your answer.
@@felipeachete2684 no problem. It is a good microphone!
What do you prefer, this mic or comica X-U
Hello. Thanks for the question. I am sorry but I have never tested the Comica X-U, so I cannot answer. Hope you will find out. Consider to subscribe for more reviews then
I have a problem with the headphone output. What kind of headphones did not connect - it is very quietly audible. Although the volume is 6/6.
Hi Danil. I used the normal iphone earphones and mine worked perfectly. Hope you can solve your issue
@@MamoAir I will try. Thanks. I think, that this is depends on headphones impedance. Because as i found Apple has 42 om, and my only 16 om.)
Great. Fingers crossed. Consider to subscribe here for more gear reviews 😉
Does this have smartphone connectivity in any way?
Hello there. Yes, if your phone hqs a mini jack audio input, you can use this microphone. Hope this helps. Subscribe and join my community. Ciao
How does it compare to the Rode Go II?
Hello, thanks, I haven't tested the Rode Go ii yet, sorry, so I cannot answer your question
@@MamoAir You should test it. Others say it trumps the Saramonic Blink500 Pro.
@@mgelinfilms7344 thanks. I will try to get my hands on ot
