It's criminal that you aren't getting more views. Your reviews are brilliant. Thank you so, so much for this one.
Thanks bro!
I appreciate your repetition and thoroughness in explaining each feature in detail multiple times. Unlike others who speak quickly and assume prior knowledge, you take the time to explain and teach without assuming what I already know. Thank you for your patience and dedication.
Thank you very much
Very interesting. First of all, I'm impressed with the sound quality (I'll double check on headphones but listening through Dali speakers, it's sounding good).
Secondly - they have totally created the DJI Mic but cheaper. A corner cut here or there but overall, many of the same features. This is the first lav mic I've heard which comes close to the quality of the DJI. Very impressive!! And a VERY thorough tour!!
Full of details, very clear. Great video always!
This video is amazing! From beginning to end. Thank you for the the review. Just ordered using your link. Can’t wait to receive it and test it out for my own video.
Triple thanks to you ❤️
I appreciate that. Thanks also for watching
Thank you so much for this. We have started to use these for RUclips Live investigations and for recording our intro's to episodes.
You've helped me understand some of the features so much better.
Very much appreciated.
Deserving of so many more views.
Great review. Thanks for being comprehensive about it!
I appreciate it bro 👍
Ojalá todos los que hacen reviews lo hicieran con pruebas tan detalladas como tú y no sólo por sacar el video, me volví tu fan con este video.
Muchísimas gracias hermano! 👍👍👍
Great review/tutorial. thanks.
Fantastic!!! I know what im getting next!! Awesome video!!
Loved your review video! Quick question for some indoor interviews.. what would you recommend for my (lumix)G85 since I've got no headphone jacks, would you just record from the receiver itself and monitor from it? brigado!
Just got mine. Works great! I have noticed an interesting feature. The noise reduction does not get activated ever when the receiver is not paired. I actually like this - as will not be using NR and do not want accidental press. Unfortunately, when paired, NR works on both internal recording and the receiver. Thanks again for the review and earlier help in the comments!
Correct! It will not activate, thank God! I never use the receiver. ONLY the recorders. The difference in audio quality from the recorder is astronomically superior than using via wireless. That applies to ALL units like this regardless of brand.
And because of its tiny size, it’s my favorite recorder. I have every brand on this you can think of.
@@ArtVideoProductionsI can see you have some very cool equipment, so that is high praise indeed.
@@ArtVideoProductions I guess in something like a wedding situation it could be useful to just use a receiver to monitor all is well (battery and unit working). But then run the risk of NR being activated. I would imagine if charged them up fully could rely on them pretty well with no need to monitor. But always a chance I guess the unit could fail. Better to re mic the bride than not record any sound perhaps.
@@andrewnorris5415 this is the best thing that ever happened for miking a bride. Getting audio from the bride from the groom is not enough.
As long as they don’t shout, you’ll never have a problem with this recorder. And I love the size no display, nothing to make it bulky. MAKE SURE you give the bride the recorder RECORDING and tell them to watch the buttons not to press on anything.
Great review! Since you didn't mention it, I fear FULAIM made a BIG oversight. Is there a way to turn off the LEDs on the transmitters when recording? There are many times that I don't want them on when they are attached to someone.
If there was such feature, I would have mentioned.
No you cannot turn them off. I understand the needs and sometimes I would want that, but at the same time I want them on so I can make sure it’s recording especially when someone is wearing it because I do not (ever) use the wireless side of it.
Why don’t you simply reverse it by having the LEDs facing the talent’s body instead of facing the camera? That should be equally as relevant.
Great video! Do you know where I can get replacement windscreen for my Fulaim x5? The support from the company is terrible!!!!😢
Great video! I bought this device and am learning to use it properly with your great tips! Can you expand on the use of the headphone jack vs the "out" jack and setting maximum gain on the transmitter and lower the gain in camera (which I hadnt hear of doing before for wireless mics). Is this true for all wireless mics or say shotgun external mics with gain control or does it depend on the mic? I have APSC Sony ZV-e10 for reference. thanks for sharing your knowledge!
The headphone output is always stronger than the mic signal. That’s the trick. Keep the gain on DSLRs and mirror less as low as possible to avoid floor noise. The pre amps on these as you know are not great.
As far as shotguns, that’s out of the scope. Whatever the situation is, do that only on wireless receivers, mixers or anything that has a headphone out in case the normal OUT Jack isn’t enough signal.
@@ArtVideoProductions I still have 2 Juicedlink preamps to boost the level going into the camera. On my 5dm3 I used one notch above zero. On my older Canon Camcorder I used the Juicedlink preamp also for all my audio work. WIth my new R8 I'm hoping to not have to use it. So far so good.
The Fulaim X5 is ok, and indeed with the noise suppression there is distortion of the voice, especially if there is music in the background, for example. But even without noise reduction activated and the number of DB set to line two, the voice is sometimes distorted, even when recording directly into the transmitter.
For my use, I will never need / use that filter. Other than that, this set is great, can be used for professional applications the quality of the mics are outstanding and it’s a Godsend when using it to mic a bride. Just don’t shout on the mic, no distortion. Keep that noise cancellation OFF at all times! Applies to all brands and models, be it Fulaim, Godox, GVM, etc.
@@ArtVideoProductions I will indeed no longer use the noise reduction. If there is too much background noise, I suppress it with CapCut noise reduction, which in my opinion does a much better job. I have also tested recording live music concerts, with some it works reasonably well, with others less so. For example, at a live classical concert it works well, depending on where you can attach the microphones. I will also test your tip to set the dB on the receiver to maximum, and set it to minimum on the camera. What is also not perfect are the small magnets. After using it twice during an interview, I lost the magnets because the interviewees immediately removed the microphone without thinking about the magnet. So far I have not found any strong magnets as a replacement. My language is Dutch, and my English is basic, but I understand what you are saying. Thanks for your response. Greetings Eddy (Belgium)
Great review. Thanks. I wonder if I can use this mic on a macbook laptop? Please response. Thanks
That I’ve never tried. Only on cameras and smartphones. I’d guess Via USBC it should work but I’m not sure!! I’d email them
@@ArtVideoProductionsI appreciate the response. Thank you.

16:39 Overview of FULAIM X5 recorder and wireless lavalier microphone system
Can you quickly mute the microphone with a button???
Fulaim X5 or Comica C3? I would like to know your opinion about it.
Thanks for the great content
Of course FULAIM X5. Because of the RECORDER. And it records without the receiver. I never use it as wireless. Only as a recorder.
@@ArtVideoProductions great! thanks again!
I noticed you lost some bass by going through camera. Probably was the Canon rolling off the bottom end. I know my 5dm3 rolled it off considerably. Not sure about my new R8.
You lose bass and the audio is compressed. I’d use the recorder audio on this and any other product of this kind.
I just found out that on mine - the internal recording volume is set from the receiver! Not sure if this is bc i got the latest Neewer 28. But I spotted a minor bug which may have happened when you tried to set it? When the mic is powered on it defaults to rec lev 4. This does not change again until adjust the volume on the receiver. So it's possible for the receiver vol reading and the internal mic to be totally out of sync! The mic has no memory I guess so defaults to 4 at power on. But the receiver does have a memory and defaults to what it was last at! But the software should re sync the volumes when the receiver and mic first connect, I consider that a minor bug that we users need to be aware of! 4 is a good level to be at, so it's not likely to cause too many problems. Key point here is maybe you experience that bug when they were out of sync. Maybe retry and see if can set internal REC volume on the receiver? Either way, the default of 4 for internal recording seems to be a good level!
That’s the way it is. And on the recorder, there is no gain adjust option. Unless the person shouts, you’ll have no problem with it.
@@ArtVideoProductionsAh I see gain adjust is different from volume. Thanks again!
Best review I have seen. I imagine internal recorder with EQ is best. Is there any EQ settings/software you would recommend for this MIC. Which did you use?
Thanks for the feedback I appreciate that.
Yes, always use the recorder audio as the choice in post no matter if you’re using the wireless.
As for the EQ, any EQ is the same. Just don’t mess too much with the mid range and boost the highs.
@@ArtVideoProductions Great thanks for your reply and tips, appreciated :)
@@andrewnorris5415 don’t forget to apply COMPRESSION. That’s very important
@@ArtVideoProductions Thanks a lot! I am new to this. I assumed by compression you meant like mp3. But I just looked it up, glad you told me. Here is what I found online: "Compressing audio evens the dynamic range between the loudest and softest parts in the mix. It narrows out the levels and, by doing so, allows the audio to sit more comfortably in the final mix without extreme peaks.
Leveling out the loud and quiet parts of the mix allows both to be heard more clearly. Adjusting the volume can only do so much. Therefore, compression allows for that overall balance."
@@andrewnorris5415 No. MP3 compression is just REDUCING the file size. Everything else you wrote here is correct. That’s that compression does.
It looks like it has plenty of output for the Canon you were using to keep in camera preamp noise down.
It does
I am able to adjust the internal recording level on my Fulaim X5 using the button on the receiver. It adjusts BOTH record levels simultaneously. Something must be wrong with yours. Unfortunately, I wish there was separate record levels for the transmitter AND receiver.
Definitely there should be a rec level control on the recorder side. No manufacturer includes that. Extremely important.
can you help?
I am confused with the file date-stamp - for some reason all the files recorded on the device (when used in voice recorder mode) are timestamped 31 December 1979.
How can I resolve this so the timestamp is todays date/ time ?
Thank you
I believe you can’t resolve. I tried
Can i charge my phone via the receiver while using it? Some cheap bt mics has it.
Its a big feature for me to charge the phone via the receiver while recording.
I believe you cannot
@@ArtVideoProductions thank you for the reply
I found the internal recording audio on the transmitter is very very quiet however when taken from the camera via the wireless it sounds normal. I'm not sure the internal audio is going to be useable.
Did you experience this?
Did you watch the entire video, or did you skip things?
@@ArtVideoProductions I watched all your video twice, but when I recorded just using the transmitter internal recording it was so quite when compared to lifting the same audio out the camera
@@AbellTo please try this:
You have to adjust the gain on the receiver and camera. But set your camera gain to the LOWEST setting first, to avoid noise floor from your camera’s Pre-Amps. (Hissing). Then set the gain on the X5’s receiver to the loudest (BEFORE) your voice starts to clip (distort). Then finally adjust the gain on your camera until it reaches -12db.
I hope that helps.
@@ArtVideoProductions lovely thanks I will try this. I really appreciate it
@@AbellTo it if solves your issue, please sub.
Hi Great Vídeo. Can I Use The Receiver As An Audio Interface On The Pc?
The Same Kind Of Audio Interface as Dji Mic?
I Need 100% Be Sure About, That In Order To Buy The Mics
Because I Need The Phone For Receive Calls And I Will Be Using The Pc To Record The Audio.
I Hope You Can Help Me.
Thanks So Much
Blessings.
As you saw, this comes with a USBC adapter that plugs on the computer. However, this comes from amazon. If it doesn’t do what you want, you can return. But I’m pretty sure it should work with what you want as an interface.
@@ArtVideoProductions Thank You, I Appreciate So Much Your Support
@@talentohumano1859 and I also appreciate you being here. Thanks again and for watching my content.
HI, When it comes to all the technical jargon I am afraid I have no idea. I purchased this mic because someone I knew uses a lavalier mic to speak through JBL speakers. I have struggled to get this to happen and have now run out of time to return to amazon. A friend was assisting me but now realise that the sound was transmitting through the mic app and not the fulaim. Is there an app or a method that I can use on my iphone to allow me to speak through the speakers with the mic? I was asked to officiate at a friend's outdoor wedding and have been trying lavalier mics for weeks.
You’re using this system on something that’s very unusual. Whatever gear you’re using such as this JBL speaker. Is this a powered speaker?
I will need the model.
ANYTHING that has a audio INPUT jack should work. Plug the RECEIVER, “out” jack into the JBL’s input jack and speak on the TRANSMITTER.
@@ArtVideoProductions JBLCHARGE 5
@@patriciamillon1838 this speaker does not feature a auxiliary analog audio input, only Bluetooth which many other Bluetooth speakers do. All my Bluetooth speakers DO have a analog input. The Fulaim X5 is not a Bluetooth device and neither are the other ones from other manufacturers. You can’t use the X5 or any other similar devices of this type. But the X5 will be an excellent addition for mobile audio which it’s made for. I’m sure you have tried on your phone. Makes a huge difference audio wise.
@@ArtVideoProductions HI thank you for your assistance. I downloaded a microphone app on my iphone and now I can do my speaking through the speakers with the receiver plugged into iphone. Fuliam emailed me yesterday to say that this was possible, well they didn't mention the app but I had messed about with it for days. Anyway, now I can give a sigh with relief. I have three JBL 5's because at my age they are much easier to transport and pretty powerful. Thank you again. Take care
I bought this mic kit for motovlogging with the GoPro hero 10 black and media mod. Unfortunately so far the audio has been trash! Any tips would be amazing! 🙏
The audio you heard from the video is entirely the Fulaim X5 and it sounds perfect. Please specify: What are you experiencing? Distortion? Hiss? Low sound?
@@ArtVideoProductions when using the fulaim x5 in my motorcycle helmet the audio sounds distorted, muffled and generally really bad quality.
@@RollinThundervlogs this is not designed for that. This is for filmmaking, interviews etc.
@@ArtVideoProductions I thought this was going to be a DJI alternative as I’ve seen many motovlog channels using the DJI 🤔
@@RollinThundervlogs what you can do with yours is to make sure you *set the proper gain levels* and install the windscreen fur.
