Is This The Best Vlogging Microphone For Your Camera? Sony ECM-W2BT

[@GameboyZeroOfficial]

This is how you test and showcase a product. Thank you for the review.

[@AuthenTech]

Wow love that hot shoe RX connection

[@cameracravings3216]

Thanks for the preview, as a Sony user I'm interested in these hot shoe connection mics that Sony is making. Bit disappointing that it cut out so bad when line of sight broken at only 50m or so. Also would be good to see a size comparison with the Rode wireless go and other competitors.

[@YosiOren]

Demo audio from the mic while there is bg music? missing the point of the demo, isn't it? how can we tell sound isolation from the bg like that?

[@PeterKoperdan]

Good video. One tip: when demonstrating a mic performance, perhaps don't include background music ;-)

[@slushg3326]

Short and informative review. I really like these quick reviews on your channel. It was great that you did the various mic tests it allows people to make an informative decision on their future purchase. Great video as always!

[@ellyawesome]

Thanks so much Slush! I appreciate it :D

[@reporterGo2025]

Hi Woks with Iphone?

[@alfoutdoors9660]

What lens did you use to record this Video Elly?

[@_arorarohit_]

do you think i should go for lv1 as well, i only shoot in doors. Or the w2bt mic quality is enough.

[@2cats1guy]

Whoa! Sounds awesome. I’ll need to compare this to my new ecm-b1m.

[@YoungBlaze]

The real question is ❓ Can you connect 2 mics to the receiver? For a 2 person interview style

[@ellyawesome]

That's a great question... I'm not sure if it would be possible. Maybe if you have a splitter so you could connect two but I'm not sure if the tech would allow for that. I'll look into it :)

[@bloggerborneo]

If u can do with 1 mic why You must use 2 mics?

[@YoungBlaze]

@@bloggerborneo i need two mics for more than 1 person to talk, or if i want to interview a person, its not a big foreign thing rode has just done it, comica has done it, not sure why sony is living in the past

[@EricKlein]

Does the receiver support more than one remote mic at a time?

[@jaegermah]

It’s a nifty mic... but damn, it’s bulky.. and the lav is quite bulky also. Would b nice to have something a bit more discrete. Great video though! Thanks for sharing.

[@ellyawesome]

Agreed, I like discreet mics the best. I usually gaff tape them under my shirt! This is a nice quick setup though. I found it so convenient I used it in my latest video :)

[@ruhidmohamad]

Is this an actual upgrade over the 2014 w1m? And could you do a comparison between this and similar mics? (rode go 2 for example)

[@mertkaracayil]

thank you for the great review Elly! looking forward to getting this setup for my sony cameras.

[@jhowie]

so this works on the sony a6000 right?

[@edsmoneymil]

Does this can use for mobile phone?

[@hoodaffairstv]

How's the noise floor on that lav

[@ellyawesome]

Can’t hear any hiss! Amazing!

[@hoodaffairstv]

@@ellyawesome good, the older version had a noise problem but the sound of the mic was good. This one should be much better then. 👍🏾

[@aguestonearth]

Thanks a lot for the quick preview. Does it work with phones?

[@DarpanVisuals]

This is super informative before making decision to purchase or not. Thank you!

[@jarobels2951]

Very nice and clear review

[@NSR07]

Hi Elly, just got this ECM-W2BT for my ZV-1 but don't know how to link them together and cannot find instructions anywhere so would greatly appreciate if you could let me know ? Kind Regards,

[@turgutunal3663]

Thx alot for video. :)

[@WouterDeHeij]

It seems to be a super set. Thanks for the review. I do have the Rode Go II too (als great), but asa sony fan, I pre-ordered the ECM-W2BT and the lav too. Thanks!

[@kevlally]

Can someone use two, three or four Sony Transmitters to one receiver? This is the real question no one has answered. Do you know the answer? Thanks in advance.

[@AudiophiliaChannel]

Hi Elly. Great video. Thx. Quick question. Mine is on a ZV-1. But when recording, it only records from internal mic. Blue lights x2, attached correctly. Odd. Nothing online, and I mean nothing and Sony Canada support, I gave up after three hours trying chat and call backs! Any ideas, much appreciated. Thx

[@PezQ84]

Can you sync multiple mics to one receiver ?

[@mirrorlessny]

good mic review video - thumbs up, question: do you remember if noise reduction was on when using built-in a7c mic?

[@Shuttergames]

Great Quick Review! Would you call this better than Rode Wireless Go II?

[@ellyawesome]

Hard to say. This one has especially good compatibility with Sony products, so if you have a Sony camera it may be the best choice. The latest GO mic can record audio files into the device separately which is a feature this doesn't have, also the GO shows audio levels on the device. That would be the biggest differences between the two :)

[@Shuttergames]

@@ellyawesome thanks so much for a quick response. I've made my decision! Appreciate it!

[@lucknowadvertisingprivatel9529]

Can I use this Bluetooth mic in my Sony camera as well as in my iPhone 12 ?

[@anirban_halder]

Fantastic audio

[@victorlaw4256]

Would you know what the ATT 0dB 10dB 20dB switch is for, or when to use which? Thank you so much for the video.

[@betterchinese9248]

Nice review and informative 👍

[@ellyawesome]

Thanks so much :)

[@G4GForGames]

Can I Connected with Canon 250d Or it is only for sony ??? In wireless I mean....

[@EpitomePax]

Only Sony cameras. For canon, check out rode wireless ii 🤙🏽

[@dalytech6248]

Great review. I wish it could also BT to my phone. I don't always lug my Sony around.

[@rodimusprime5508]

Esto se puede usar también para celular Android?

[@radcraig]

Question for you? On all the Sony cameras I've tested any microphone sending a signal through the hotshoe turns on AGC (Automatic Gain Control) and can't be turned off. So there's no way to manually control your sound levels and you always end up with some distortion at some point. It doesn't matter whether it's something like the ZV-1 or the A7 series, they all seem to do this. Can you confirm if this is the case on the ECM-W2BT?

[@ellyawesome]

You are correct, or at least in my experience. I'm trying to get some info from Sony directly for this because I personally struggle with this kind of setup too. It sounds great and I used it for my latest video (fpv dji unboxing) but had to put it on -20db but that sufficed as me 'lowering the input volume'. That option allows me to record audio comfortably at a good volume but as of yet I can't figure out how to adjust the input volume in-camera. What is with that, hey? I've always been confused by it. I thought I was crazy! lol. There must be a way surely?

[@radcraig]

@@ellyawesome thanks for clarifying that cause that was one of my biggest concerns with this or any other hot shoe unit

[@laughingboy-tk6ut]

It also seems to me that the receiver still needs to be charged independently - the hotshoe increases its use to 9hrs but i think the receiver still needs to be charged - can you confirm this?

[@everytechmatters]

Yes.

[@lindah8561]

Have you had any problems with noise using this mic? I just bought this mic and testing it for the first time, and the amount of buzzing noise in the background is substantial. I don't know f I'm doin something wrong or is this just how the mic is? I'm filming with sony a6000

[@ShevonSalmon]

No USB Type C :(((((((((((((((((((((((((

[@ellyawesome]

Correct! :( That surprised me too!

[@markoIam1]

How long does it hold a charge? Can batteries be replaced? Thanks!

[@everytechmatters]

9 hours (max). No battery replacwment

[@kevlally]

Can a person combine two, three or four sony transmitters with one sony receiver? This is a question no one has answered. For multiperson interviews this is critical.

[@michellesimpson2508]

Did you find put the answer to this? I need to know this as well.

[@tippyoutdoors6677]

Good review Elly! I need something like this. Can you tell me how is the battery life? Can you charge it?

[@ellyawesome]

9hr batter life and yes they are rechargeable batteries :)

[@tippyoutdoors6677]

@@ellyawesome thanks Elly!

[@vijaywagle3815]

Uskee price kitani hai.

[@TheSugus38]

It's not even USB-C ? What is Sony doing ? Are they crazy ? Also can't they make the ports watertight like on smartphones ?

[@TheSugus38]

Especially since Rode just released the Wireless Go II

[@ellyawesome]

True, USB-C would have been the move. My camera is charged via USB-C but now the mics aren't haha. I'm still used to having both cables but I definitely want everything USB-C now! I'm sure they'll be taking this into consideration next time

[@StarrAckerman]

Nice review, babe.

[@UshaKiKiran]

Very Nice Mam

[@yatharthyadav7]

Been here since you reviewed Indian snacks .

[@ellyawesome]

That's AWESOME :) Thanks for coming back and for commenting!

[@saibrothers1926]

Good better does microphone requires charging

[@laughingboy-tk6ut]

I cannot find any literature confirming if this device is 24 bit?

[@KaioshinAemi]

I thought it was a Bluetooth mic, I guess it’s not because you didn’t do the Bluetooth test.

[@yatharthyadav7]

First one?

[@slushg3326]

You are, yes.

[@murataluclu]

is micro usb charge? Sony kidding us all right:) micro usb 2021!!!

[@realMDizzy]

What's with that micro USB garbage?!?!

[@pascalkrzeminski7341]

You might dress better when making videos. It's a shame because you seem sympathetic.
