Comica! you could change the game if you were to make the 4 microphone set up you guys have the comica vmoQ where they all can record 32bit float internally
This test was BANGER! Also, confirmation to continue recording my audio into a recorder internally, and sync in post. Even when using the Rode Wireless Go II I have, I don't even worry about using the receiver anymore, seeing that the transmitters are now little mini field recorders. The transmitter + rode lavalier ii and you never have these problems.. Great review man.. And that dirtbike front of truck off-roading segment was sketchy.. I had my fingers crossed entire time for dirtbike dude for nothing to go bad LOL
Great vid as always! Kinda surprised with the Mic 2’s audio drop at that range. I want to test that as well! I’m never that far away from my camera so, the use case is pretty rare.
Glad to finally see a more honest review of this mic, it's very attractive on paper but I've found that with audio gear it's less about specs and more about execution. The range/dropping issue doesn't surprise me, most of these little wifi mics have the same issue when you block line-of-sight. Which sucks when your only recording is in the camera; with the internal recording this is less of an issue for me; I would want to swap to the higher quality 32-bit file anyways. The transmission to the camera would really be more for sync and monitoring, as long as it works most of the time I would be fine with this. The delay in re-connecting is disappointing, hadn't seen any reviews mention that yet.
Yeah I didn't say in the video, but for sure would only use the wireless audio file for sync to the 32 bit file. But yeah I was surprised watching some other reviews. Still has a use but definitely need to be aware of its disadvantages
Great review. Very clear and honest. I have the VM30. I like the quality of the audio from the VM30. But, I had the same experience with the confusing controls on the VM30. Hopefully, the next versions of these mics will have better controls and performance.
Like I mentioned, you probably get used to it but definitely an area of improvement. But the quality is pretty good and the 32 bit float option is nice
I mean since it can do 32 bit float internally like the DJI mic 2, I don't see a reason why to do that haha. Better yet but the non wireless version of the Comica mic and plug it in to the dji mic and now it's wireless
@@DustinArmstrongPro I have a VideoMic Go II that I plug into my DJI MIC for corporate and YT style work. Tempting to upgrade to something like the VM40 to have most all the same functionality AND built-in 32
Why don't they just forget about the radio sound transmitter side and give us a time sync and internal recording. That would be more useful to most people doing pro work????
Comica VM40 has internal recording function. Comica is currently developing products with time code function, please look forward to our new products.🙂
Fair feedback. Let me just add though for people out there who are on the fence....if your main use for this is just typical interview boom mic situations then it's fantastic. I bought this mic from B&H around Black Friday and took it on a 5 day client shoot in Colombia capturing 6 sit-down interviews. Couldn't have been happier with the result. Yes, the button operation is sort of weird but I used the iPhone app and it was very simple and clear plus you can see in realtime that it's recording. And man, having 32-bit float AND a simultaneous wireless feeding straight into the camera file is a dream. I actually only ended up using the 32 bit float in 1 out of the 6 interviews because the quality from the wireless sounded great already. For $250 this thing totally out punches it's weight class. Oh and let me add, my boom setup without needing all of the extra cables and recorders while traveling was probably the best part. Don't be afraid of this thing.
You would have to sync in post production. But even with the wireless track cutting out it would likely not be too difficult to sync. The only way you can bake in 32 bit float audio into camera is using the LUMIX GH7 with the XLR 2 adapter.
I think for live events no pro would consider these mics anyway, but for edited videos if you have 32bit float recording then all you mentioned connection issues are not that serious.

Finally an HONEST review lol. I feel like all these new 32bit float mics coming out are all gimmicky. Not the 32bit float but how these mics are made and marketed. 32bit float is great but is the mic great? On paper the VM40 has a high 600 impedance (bad for clean signal) and also a high self noise 19db I believe? Its a noisy mic. Im guessing they rely heavily on noise cancelation and post editing. I would rather have a good Rode mic connected to a wireless lav and get my 32bit that way Ive been using 32bit for some time now and all these companies rushing to throw in this feature is sus 😂
Personally, i dont use the mic for long distance wireless recording regardless. Ill have it mounted on cam, in my hand for foley, or just out of frame in a shot. Unless you want to be a man-on-the-street creator, i wouldnt worry that much. Its a fantastic mic, regardless. 😅 Plus, just always record internally as a safe practice - you have 32gb 😂
Warning ⚠️ all these low-budget radio mics use frequencies that are crowded frequencies. They may work perfectly in one location and in another drop out. That is fine if you can re-record. But if it is a live event, I wouldn't recommend radio mics unless you are using recorders for a backup. They are not 100% reliable, but then they are inexpensive. Use at your own risk.
Thank you very much for your feedback. Comica is currently developing XLR microphones and UHF high-frequency microphones suitable for filmmaking and on location. Please look forward to our new products.
so for someone getting into live events and wants something robust, what do you recommend? i wanted to get this because for events i can simply just use the 3.5 jack or even usb directly into my camera, and then the internal recording will likely be used anyway. would only use the wireless mode for commercials, interviews etc

At close range, the Comica VM40 can restore the signal connection instantly.😀

Thanks for you love for Comica VM30 and suggestion😀
Would have loved to see a comparison between the VM40 and a standard shotgun mic plugged into your Dji Mic 2, in theory it’s the same concept.
I mean since it can do 32 bit float internally like the DJI mic 2, I don't see a reason why to do that haha. Better yet but the non wireless version of the Comica mic and plug it in to the dji mic and now it's wireless
You provide a good idea.😄

For more low key stuff like youtube I think it'll be great for that
I’ll use the 32 bit float mode with the mic on the camera while using the hollyland lark m2 attached to the person if they far away
Make honesty great again, thank you.

Great to know sometime has used it in that situation. Definitely think it's great for that
Thank you! Hope Comica VM40 improve your workflow.😀
I have the VM30 and it is only used for talking heads when I do them. But the 32 Bit float is interesting. Which Diety Shotgun are you using?
A boom arm mic? Good setup!
Is there a way to get the 32 bit float mic to bake into your clip or do I need to sync it together in post?
Hi, Comica VM40 has 32GB on-board recording, so you can output the on-board recording audio track.
You would have to sync in post production. But even with the wireless track cutting out it would likely not be too difficult to sync. The only way you can bake in 32 bit float audio into camera is using the LUMIX GH7 with the XLR 2 adapter.
I think for live events no pro would consider these mics anyway, but for edited videos if you have 32bit float recording then all you mentioned connection issues are not that serious.
Yeah would always want to record internally just in case
Yes, with 32bit float recording and 32G on-board storage, users don't need to worry about the connection issues.

Thanks for your comment. Hope Comica VM40 can improve your workflow. 😀
@ComicaAudio It really does. One of my best pieces of gear.
That's great I'm glad it works great for you!
Mann...I love your cap ..
The ARRI one or kondor blue?
Definately not usable as a hand-mic. The built in transmitter gets blocked easily. But got really good results wireless on boompole.
Glad it worked for you!
Yes, using a boom microphone can better utilize the advantages of the Comica VM40 without being blocked or interfered by the antenna.

For sure! In that type of use case, it'll probably be fine like in your experience
Yeah, with 32bit float recording and 32GB, Comica VM40 is perfect for content creators and videographers.😄

Where?
@@rakibulsaad6568 an online auction that has local pick up
So you're saying the mic interference was from aliens?
*Sloppily* _is_ a word.
English was my worst subject
cool idea but all these companies basically making disposable mics these days.
Or the same mic internals with a different shell
