5 Minute Review | Godox MoveLink M2 Wireless Microphone Kit

[@SimpleSandalsMedia]

Many thanks for your review. I am on the verge of purchasing this kit, after looking at the Hollyland LARK 150 and the Synco G2 for a long time now.

[@ScottDumas]

Glad I could help! Hope you enjoy whichever kit you go with :)

[@thayvoanhtuan]

What did you ended up with? The synco g2 or the godox?

[@oznkalenderoglu]

I have been using this product for 2 months. When shooting outside, when you turn your back on the receiver, the sound recording is interrupted. very disturbing situation. Does anyone experience this situation?

[@stroitelstvo_domov]

won't connect to iphone. sees it as headphones. what to do?

[@bradbeckett]

Maybe try attaching the transmitter to your hip so it has a line of sight if your back is turned or not.

[@emadeddineibo1842]

Very professional, all tests I could think of. Great job.

[@visionz_n_media]

Thank you for this review. Guess this will be going in my bag

[@ericbaluya361]

Please compare this with the new deity wireless

[@ScottDumas]

The new Deity wins for me because it can be mixed with their whole range of more professional gear like the BP-TRX seamlessly. No other brand has that cross compatibility/upgradability. It will always be useful in your kit :)

[@timecapsulefoto]

How does this mount to a camera shoe?

[@nasdeentv184]

Can you make video with godox uc2 mic

[@MohaimenAlasady]

does it work with smartphone ?

[@vodgorizont]

Здравствуйте. Скажите пожалуйста. Можно ли ее подключить к смартфону на Андроиде и будет ли работать?

[@AkrilFarb]

Там есть кабель для смартфонов в комплекте на вход 3.5мм

[@BongoBarberASMR]

does GODOX MOVELINK M2 can be used for ASMR sounds like massage,facial,haircut videoes As an alternative to the road wireless go 2 mic?

[@AkrilFarb]

For asmr just bought a recorder, like a Zoom h2n 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@PiotrKoneV]

Did you have problem with recording from smartphone? I tried with Xiaomi Mi8 and Motorola One Fusion+ and I have very bad sound.

[@neuromancer27]

Thanks for the review. There are relatively few YT reviews of the godox, wondering why as it has been released already one year ago. About the quality of sound (hiss, clearness etc) which is the best godox, deity, rode or comica?

[@AshishUK]

The only downside is the case does not has powerbank feature, which would be good for charging the tx rx on the fly.

[@ScottDumas]

Agreed, I love the powerbank case design like the Lark 150. Hope to see more designs like that soon.

[@georgiaho]

thanks for this review! I've been thinking of getting a wireless mic kit to have better sound quality outside. I'm wondering how this particular one would hold up next to maybe a somewhat busy road?

[@ScottDumas]

It should do just as well as any other lav style mic... if you're in a noisier environment, just pin it up closer to your mouth so that you can lower the gain and your voice will be loud in comparison to the surroundings because of how close it is. I doubt it would be much different than other kits in this design though.

[@StickOnHair]

Is this good for In Ear Monitors for stage singers?

[@yahbeaui]

Its a microtone bro wtf😂

[@starlettealia6270]

Is this compatible with iPhone?

[@johanfanggara]

very well done Scott, well-explained and hits all the mark, kudos

[@slyreader]

Great review! I love my Godox setup and found a case at B&H made by Godox ( AK-R1) that fits the case, cables, and microphones very neatly. It's about 10.00. That was my only complaint with the system. My Deity set comes with a case big enough to hold everything, but you have to charge the Rec and Trans independently.

[@Isaypreach]

How many transmitters can go to one reciever?

[@ScottDumas]

I think it's limited to the 2 in the kit. You could re-pair them with others (if one broke and was replaced, for example) but the Rx only has 2 channels

[@Master-Grammar]

Scott, intro was great except for the length...it left me wishing for more. I wish you had extended it a bit more, it was fantastic. Great video, found your channel from your review of the ifootage TC6 tripod. thanks

[@NR_TIPS_AND_TRICKS]

Ciao Scott! cool video! short and useful! i have the same microphones.. looking at 4.26 on your video, what do you think about the noise? I have this thought in my brain... i don t know if is normal or not from wireless mics... looks like impossible to have a total silent moment. On my sony a7r3 i use 1or 2 level and in TX 0db.

[@guilhermeborges7796]

Hi there! I have a question that I can't find an answer to anywhere online: can I use a phantom powered shotgun mic with the M2 transmitter? It's a deity duo.

[@AkrilFarb]

No. You need to powered it with some extra modules.

[@AndresArosemena]

Excellent review Scott! I still haven't jumped into the "wireless mic setup" train, but this one has a price that is making me think of going there. I still just use my zoomH1s or Tascam DR10L and later sync in post.

[@EnriqueAviles]

yo tengo los Rode Go 2, por si quieres testear algún día

[@AndresArosemena]

@@EnriqueAviles chévere yo te aviso cualquier cosa

[@nomadicvisuals1504]

can this connect to more than one at a time or only allows for 2 mics to be connected

[@ScottDumas]

It's just a two channel system, if you have more transmitters you'd need another receiver.

[@crisrocchi2722]

hi, is there any latency between audio and video? thank you

[@ScottDumas]

None significant enough to cause problems that I could see.

[@crisrocchi2722]

@@ScottDumas Thanks Scott😉

[@pmehta4452]

Thanks for your great video.

[@DimusTech]

Oh I really liked that kit, but quite sad it has no internal recording and audio level isn't so responsive. One question, does the clip behind the receiver also fits the shoe mount on the camera like it does on the Rode?

[@ScottDumas]

Yeah ...I mean, I usually judge the levels settings on my camera anyway, not the Tx/Rx, but I wish more of these kits had nice smooth response in their displays like Rode. Internal recording is such a great thing to have once you've used it too. The clip does fit in the shoe mount as well :)

[@DimusTech]

​@@ScottDumas Well Rode had a great improvement between their first model and second (in my opinion) I guess we'll see how Godox will do on the second. Lately began using my "Rode VideoMicro" knock off by Boya as a voiceover Mic, and I think adding some sound dampening panel or some material around when recording will make it super good

[@ScottDumas]

@@DimusTech simple sound blankets also help quite a lot- with that 7RYMS mic for example, I tried it in my untreated bedroom and then in the studio set up with a sound blanket behind the camera, the difference was night and day.

[@DimusTech]

@@ScottDumas I actually one day wasn't too lazy (or was I??) and took a pillow to use as the sound dampener, worked well especially comfortable ;-)

[@andrefelixstudio2833]

Great video nice presentation, I got a lot out of your review thank you!

[@hrxm]

Thanks a lot! I was going to Lark 150 but this is almost half the price! Do you think this is better than Lark 150 considering the price? I'm tempted to this one but afraid of purchasing a "poor" product...

[@ScottDumas]

It's hard to say. They're both nice kits with different appeals... If I had to choose just one I might go with the Lark because I know the company puts out solid products in general. Godox is great a lot of the time but also have some misses, and as one of their first mic kits, I might be a little wary of it. However! That's not to say I've had any issues with it in any way... if it's a better price or one of the features is really in line with you're looking for, I can definitely recommend it based on my personal experience. Hope that helps!

[@Meraki.Melodies]

Hi bro, I bought this one after watching your very informative review. I am happy with the product, but lav. Mic that comes with it is a very bad quality. One of them have stopped working after just one use !! Could you please suggest which good quality lavelier mic. I should use with it. Regards.

[@ScottDumas]

Hi! So sorry to hear that. Kit lav mics are definitely where most companies save money unfortunately. I personally love the VT500 lav mic, and it's what I use in most situations where I'm using a Lav. Deity make some good ones as well and they have different sizes and even colors available. I'd recommend checking them all out to see what works for you :)

[@JamieHines]

Scott thanks for this honest review. My OG Rode wireless Go is done and I'm looking for a new replacement this Godox system popped up and I've been looking at it more for cost. But just a question what are you thoughts on the DJI wireless system compared to this if you have done one or tested the DJI system? I'm looking for something easy, fast for my Tiktok videos for my Aviation page at the airport with lots of background noises. Thanks

[@ScottDumas]

Hi! I haven’t tried DJI unfortunately, but in terms of speed and ease the Hollyland Lark150 is one of the best I’ve used. Auto power on and auto pairing when you take it out of the charging case, super fast to use. Almost all clip on style mics will have more or less the same amount of background noise pickup, but the Lark also sounds pretty decent quality wise, as does the Godox

[@videoguyla]

Thank you short and sweet

[@billrhea]

The fact that the transmitters don’t record I would avoid at all cost. They are not cheap enough to make it worth it.

[@blessedandfavored9242]

Exactly

[@alexmontenegrophotographer5613]

Hello, thank you very much for your review, I have seen many different brands, I liked this very much but I would like to know your opinion of any other system that you recommend, what I do mainly are weddings

[@ScottDumas]

Hi! There are a bunch of kits now that are so similar it's hard to choose, but, I'd have to recommend Deity over everything because they have a bigger more professional ecosystem, and you can just start off with their new pocket wireless kit but then upgrade, and they're all cross compatible so you can use them all together even if/when you upgrade.

[@lininnoe405]

great and informative video! i love the special charging case and magnetic clip! which device would you recommend for indoor use? the comica BoomX-D D1 or the godox? (in terms of actual battery life and signal reliability)

[@ScottDumas]

Thanks very much! For indoor use you just mean within a room? Not going through multiple walls etc? If so, then either will do pretty well and I haven't noticed much of a significant difference in battery life. I'd choose whichever appeals to you most in other features and design- for me, I'd go with Godox over Comica probably.

[@ArturBoev]

1:20 Hello. Where is such a microphone sold? How much is it? Is it included?

[@Dr.anonym.official]

We need test on android phone

[@madgeorge2236]

its strange that you didn't hear that noise from this system

[@LeonHoooo]

Is the lav mic worse than the device itself?

[@ScottDumas]

In a lot of cases they are, since the lav mics included with these kits are often very cheap ones and they focus more on the built in mic. But of course, you could use any lav mic with a 3.5mm connection if you have a better one... and a lot of times placement can really affect it to- the built in mics are often right up near your neck and can have a more muffled bassy sound, whereas it's easier to position a clip on lav in a more appropriate spot to balance out how it sounds.

[@LeonHoooo]

@@ScottDumas is it possible to use the Rode Go Lavalier on Godox as well?

[@AkrilFarb]

@@LeonHoooo yes

[@nachojr99]

Hi Scott, great review. I currently own a Saramonic TX9/RX9 system but I'm looking to sell it because of how bulky and heavy it is. I know that one is UHF and these are 2.4GHz. Have you noticed any dropouts on these more compact 2.4GHz systems? That's my main concern. If connection quality is solid, I think I can give the lack of internal recording a pass. Also, how did you like the lav capsules? Because this including that at $200 seems like a steal compared to the rode at $450 for a similar combo.

[@ScottDumas]

Most of these 2.4 systems only manage around 10-15m with your body in the way which is the biggest limitation, otherwise no major issues :) the lav mics here were actually decent as well, better than I expected at least.

[@tykimikk8605]

2.4 issues on crowded places where alot of people use wifi and bluetooth. Uhf is better in those scenarios

[@nachojr99]

@@ScottDumas Thanks Scott! Just got this for $150. Considering what's included, seems like a steal.

[@dilipraj8121]

Hi Scott, this is Dilip here from India. I really liked the video you made on Godox M2. I am planning to buy one since it's value for money but I saw an other video in which he says that it lags 50 milliseconds to sync with actual video. I really don't want to break my head in post production to sync Audi and video so can you please check if any issues really persistent.

[@ScottDumas]

Hi! Most wireless mic systems have some latency, and that's not unusual. It didn't cause any visual issues for me in my use/testing and I didn't have to do anything in post to fix it. Hope that helps

[@Dr.anonym.official]

هل تم الاختبار على الهاتف

[@tykimikk8605]

good option like the lark but rode seems better for professional weddings

[@ScottDumas]

The Rode has definitely been solid and reliable in my experience. I think it just shows the experience they have in making mic kits :)

[@meysamjafarinejad9976]

Delay monitoring problem!

[@anangfahmi437]

How's the battery perform? How much can we get if used nonstop?

[@ScottDumas]

It’s rated for about 6 hours and I haven’t used it continuously that long but it seems to be accurate enough

[@vinzaputra]

until others have their own built-in recorder, rode wireless go ii is still the mic to go.

[@ScottDumas]

It is a great kit, and one of my favorites. I wish I could mash it together with certain aspects of this kit haha

[@vinzaputra]

@@ScottDumas I know right, the soft case that come with rode is nothing to compare with others built in case/charge dock. But still the built in recorder is really a killer. I have so much trouble with 2.4ghz mic. It's frustrating to have small cut off when you try recording your movies. I actually waiting for other brand to bring this feature.

[@ScottDumas]

@@vinzaputra I know of a couple others with recorders but nothing to rival the Rode kit at the moment, unless you move up to something like the Deity BP-TRX with and external lav mic... that’s a killer choice but a couple of them will end up costing more than the wireless go II

[@vinzaputra]

@@ScottDumas ow really, I have never heard of that series before. Would it be great for you to review it. Seriously I tough that rode is the only one that came with feature.

[@ScottDumas]

@@vinzaputra the Deity BP-TRX and HD-TX are both transmitters and recorders, the BP-TRX is more full featured but the HD-Tx plugs onto an XLR mic making it an easy wireless handheld mic setup. I have reviews for both of them on my channel actually :) Also, in this same form factor like the Wireless Go II, Mirfak has a kit that I compared in a video to the Wireless Go II (and also Lark 150), and Mirfak records internally to a micro SD. LensGo also makes a kit that records but I haven’t tried those yet.
