4 Features the Others Can't Touch! The Deity Pocket Wireless 'PRO'

[@cre8r61]

And another feature of the shape is the rounded end - easier to slip into a pocket or under a shirt and 100% agree the length has advantages over the square form factor in this category.

[@markwiemels]

Good point.

[@faspete2nd]

I am defiantly a big fan of Deity! They are doing a lot of good stuff over there.

[@markwiemels]

Yeah, agree.

Thanks for your review. One important information that is lacking in literally all reviews about Deity Pocket Wireless, including yours, is that the Deity receiver doesn't have a headphone port therefore is not compatible with iPhones for any serious shooting unless you add an audio mixer to the equation as any mixer/adapter will have a headphone port. I had to buy a Beachtek audio adapter (about £200) to be able to use the Deity with my iPhone 13 Pro. Actually, I returned the Deity but bought it again. This because I really wanted to be able to use their plug-on XLR transmitter ( HD-TX) with my iPhone. I used this Deity pocket wireless (receiver/lavaliere/3.5 mm to XLR adapter) to record a piece to camera that I shot with a JVC 850 for a news story. It was all good. P.S. This is an edited comment. I was very angry with Deity in my previous comment. I've deleted the comment. I was angry because Deity sells this kit as being compatible with iPhones despite the fact that the receiver doesn't have a headphone port. But you don't work for Deity so I've decided to post a shorter comment where I just call customers' attention to the incompatibility of this kit with iPhones unless they buy or already have an audio mixer/adapter compatible with iPhones.

Fair points, I don’t record into a phone for paid work, I record into the camera and monitor audio with the camera headphone jack.

[@timothykieper]

This is a very nice unit! I really like the ability to record straight to my computer. You were right about the "Dead Cat" attachment also, slightly difficult. I also would like the carrying case just a bit larger as it is a bit of a wrestling match to fit everything back in the case.

[@offthecuffadventureswithjamie]

Thanks for sharing Mark. I’m testing mine tonight. Very informative. New subscriber!

[@markwiemels]

Great to hear!

[@MICKYLEAKSMGR-PRESIDENTCJWORLD]

How are they Brother? Done testing?

[@offthecuffadventureswithjamie]

@@MICKYLEAKSMGR-PRESIDENTCJWORLDawesome. Love them.

[@SparkofGeniusKTP]

could you plug in an Deity V-Mic D3 Pro and it work ?

[@markwiemels]

Yes.

[@SparkofGeniusKTP]

@@markwiemels it works incredibly well.

[@slyreader]

Love my Deity so much, I ordered a second set. I'm curious to see if it will handle two transmitters. Great video.

[@livinginmiamianthonyspitaleri]

This is my current question

[@slyreader]

@@livinginmiamianthonyspitalerino, two transmitters won’t connect to a single receiver

[@livinginmiamianthonyspitaleri]

@@slyreader thank you for the info

[@martinsadedamola]

thanks for this. This is the first video I have seen where it was said it connects to a receiver in the deity connect system. Does this connect to the deity bp-trx though?

[@markwiemels]

Yep, works with all deity connect units.

[@go0ot]

Can you record with 2 mics to 1 receiver simultaneously? Can you charge both mic & receiver with 2 power banks while in use? Does it get charged when connected to laptop?

[@markwiemels]

Not with the pocket wireless receiver, but you can with the Deity connect pro level receivers, and use the pocket wireless transmitter.

[@FHSU2007]

As a Newbie, how do you transfer the sound file from the receiver to an editing computer? Is there specialized software? Even better, is there a video or course that you recommend that walks a new and up-and-coming video creator in all the details of content creation (on a tight budget)?

[@markwiemels]

Just plug in a usb-c cable, it see the unit has a drive.

[@findingefilm]

Very cool! How do you find the audio quality when transmitting to the pocket reciever, compared to the internal recording on the HDTX

[@markwiemels]

Seem comparable, but I have not done a critical analysis.

[@beautifulnz]

How good are the native connections for an iPhone 11 pro max? Cheers

[@markwiemels]

I have not tested this, sorry.

[@TC_Conner]

I like your reviews, and this may sound like a silly question, but why are you looking above the camera instead of directly into it?

[@markwiemels]

It's an on camera monitor, I should be looking at the lens instead, I'm slowly getting better at that.

[@TC_Conner]

@@markwiemels 👍🏻👍🏻😎👍🏻👍🏻

[@yassineelidrissi0000]

You didn't show how big is the lapel Mike microphone. I think you didn't want to show it is too big

[@kamilzag5948]

Very helpfull ❤ thnx !

[@markwiemels]

You are most welcome.

[@rafael_daguerre]

I have seen many reviews for buying a wireless mic. Deity generally does better than Rode. Both are very good, but I think Deity's sound is better. Which is not to say Rode is bad. If Deity had the Rode Wireless GO II system, with two transmitters, I would have Deity. But really, the GO II has very good features and I will end up buying it. 2 transmitters that can make a stereo recording using each transmitter being L and R. 2 mics, a lapel and shotgun; or 2 lapels for an interview with 2 people. Among other features. But I really liked Deity. Deity Pocket + Deity V-Mic D3 Pro + Deity S-MIC s2 + HD-TX is an excellent combo!!!

[@rafael_daguerre]

1 question: is it not possible to have the Deity Pocket-RX transmitter + the Deity HD-TX connected to the receiver at the same time? When you connect one, does the other disconnect?

[@markwiemels]

Not the pocket wireless receiver.

[@rafael_daguerre]

@@markwiemels Thanks for the answer! I'm still not sure which one to buy. The RW GO II really has new features and being able to use 2 transmitters makes me lean towards it, although I like the sound of Deity

[@markwiemels]

@@rafael_daguerre hard to go wrong with either really, both great quality products.

[@ProVoiceBH]

Wonderful, thanks.

[@markwiemels]

You are most welcome.

[@sunburnfm]

Can it connect to a Zoom recorder?

[@markwiemels]

yes

[@tek_soup]

good video, but im here for the kit, not the mic.

[@markwiemels]

Fair enough!

[@mww-ew6oz]

I'm confused. You repeatedly call the included mic "a pro-grade lapel mic". But then you go on to say you'd consider it a good value & assume a cost of about "$120-$130". I've never heard of a pro-grade lapel mic that costs $120. That's a consume grade price point. Prosumer at best. Pro-grade lapel mics, like pro-grade wireless audio kits, start at around $400 and go up from there. So which is it? Is it a pro-grade mic or is it a mic that you can't even imagine selling as high as $150?

[@markwiemels]

You can get good gear pretty cheap these days. Yes, there are $400 plus lapel mics, but some of the stuff from Rode and Deity, at a fraction of that, are more than good enough for paid work, and are used professionally quite regularly now.
