Recording PRO Version 2: Comica BoomX-D2 PRO wireless mic kit

[@ILLAILLS]

Definitely loving the competition going on with brands this year. Consumers are hopefully winning

[@ORTHOPRAXIA33]

This was VERY helpful! Thank you!!

[@FinancialSelfReliance]

I am going back and forth about the Comica and the Diety, do you have a preference? Although the Rode II is also a great one. dang too many choices... LOL

[@RayValencia]

Hi Paris! Great question. YES I do have soem thoughts!! If you listen to the part where I did the direct sound comparison between those 3 systems, I do prefer the sound of the Deity. Mainly bc it has more Bass than Rode or Comica. The Comica sounds a little more detailed and crispy, but missing that warm Bass sound. So it's personal preference. Deity has only 1 mic and No Recording Feature. Although, the Comica is the BEST bang for your buck because it has the 2 TX, 2 Lav mics, Internal Recording, nice Case, and separate Gain controls for each TX. Rode is missing the Lav mics, the nice case, and the Gain controls for individual mics...plus you have to use Rode App to export the Audio. The Comica is literally Drag and Drop to get Audio files off them.

[@davidp158]

@@RayValencia Thanks for the review. The Comica looks like an awesome product, but I'm curious about the sound quality. Both the built-in and supplied lav mic on the Comica system sound pretty bad. Did you try the Comica system with another mic to see if there was improvement? All the other features you mention are really great, but kind of moot if the audio quality doesn't cut it. I'd really like to hear a noise level comparison between the Comica, Diety and Rode systems with a decent lav mic.

[@marvinlovenfeldt]

Nice. Is this set compatable with Comica vm30 wireless shutgun?

[@matango1979]

Isn't 16 bit a big weakness? Much easier to clip. I guess the safety track makes up for that weakness.

[@PaulFeinberg]

Great breakdown. I was just sent this mic to review myself. Fantastic breakdown. I am also in Central FL. I will send you an email, maybe sometime we could collab on something together or just shoot for fun! Awesome job dude! I do agree the Deity Sounds the best to my ears. Very clever way to do a range test! One on the back and one facing brilliant!

[@RayValencia]

Hi Paul! Thanks. It would be fun to collaborate on a project. Do you have a Universal pass by chance? That would be a fun day to shoot. I live just outside of Orlando (going towards Tampa). I just expanded on this mics set today, with the new Comica VM30 Wireless Shotgun Microphone: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmXRdJV4ppaIrLs I was able to pair one of the Transmitters of the BoomX-D Pro with it too. And thanks, I just invented a new way to do a range test in this video too, lol!!

[@PaulFeinberg]

@@RayValencia heck ya I do!! At least till Mid August. I might be going tomorrow with a creator friend of mine that is flying in from Minnesota @kylewattstv ….just depends if he has the budget. He flies in at 11:30am tomorrow and if we go it will be straight from the airport. Yes looks like a great new mic! Very cool. My main mic right now is the ecm-b1m no cables is nice and that auto mode is just so convenient.

[@ademcfade]

Very enjoyable and useful review Ray - the Comica seem to be fully featured and have onboard recording, handy as I sometimes go for a walk with the drone following me, so that is probably the key decider to these over the new Cominca Vimo C. Subscribed and off to Amazon to spend some £££ (or $$$ I guess :-) )

[@RayValencia]

Hi Adrian! Thanks for checking it out and subbing. Highly appreciate that. Good luck finding this mic kit though! Seems to be sold out and backordered on B&H and Amazon. I recently did audio tests with this kit VS 2 other Dual-Recording mic kits. Check this out so you know the full scoop: kzbin.info/www/bejne/amq1h3mZaNeZarc

[@ademcfade]

@@RayValencia It's available in the UK - being delivered by Amazon today :-) The sound is a little higher/brighter from the Comica from your video, but I'm a bedroom music producer, so just sort that out with an EQ - got a cool one called SMART EQ3 from Sonible which does the trick nicely :-)

[@charlescastle3002]

Which one should I use for a GOPRO 12?

[@ultraacat1]

Great explanation video by the way! One question! how long does the battery last on the receiver and transmitters when using it in both recording mode, and without it? thanks!

[@joseph-hover-lifestyle]

Have you faced any transmission issues with 2.4ghz frequency in crowded places?

[@amb_creatives]

Awesome review

[@jaysondronaarts]

when i record internally the audio is so low, how to increase it?

[@matango1979]

You can increase it in post. Keep in mind the receiver most likely gets the same low/quiet recording as it is saved on the transmitter and boosts it. That means you can do the same in post.

[@misi_epa]

Thank you 👍

[@billhitchcock5117]

I'm trying to convert the 3.5 audio cable to usb so I can plug it directly into my laptop. No matter what adapter I get I can't get it to work. Can you help?

[@Sosha666]

I would have liked to hear this test with the same mic - no one ever does this. Something like the rode pro lav maybe. also I’d like to know stuff like what voltage the units supply to the mic, the battery life and charge time. And how easy/hard those buttons are to hit by accident, or whether there’s a lock function. How solid have you found the record function? What’s the limiting like? Thanks for the review btw

[@RayValencia]

Please know, that I just did this TEST because of YOU and your suggestion. I compared 3 Dual recording wireless mic kits with the same Rode Wireless lav. kzbin.info/www/bejne/amq1h3mZaNeZarc

[@catholiccrayons]

Can the boom XD support pass through charging for an Iphone?

[@carloskay]

How it works de noise reduction

[@Tremmor500]

weird my pro only goes to +/- 6

[@MICKYLEAKSMGR-PRESIDENTCJWORLD]

Oh I was searching for the Video To THANK You for Your Review and I had no Choices because Deity only one mic, no backup, or onboard storage of recording, despite STILL Loving the Audio Signature in that One from the Videos Compare and sadly Couldn't Go Both for Now, and went with the Comica X-D2 Pro, because 360 camera Websites were messing around playing some sick sadistic games, and I had few more attempts on my Life, so skipped that bought this, because I thought since Onboard Saving Option Means, Can Use each device in the kit individually without Phone and Laptop, Just press record on any of the modules and and it will save? Or have to Mandatory Turn on Receiver whether Using One or Two mics not just the mic alone power on followed by Orange Button 3 to 5 seconds press looking at the screen for the blinking Rec dot? But the Settings and Modes Concept I'm Still Not Getting In What Use Case Scenario, And Modes Makes Which Mic Record because that's Confusing and I don't know which option to select and if mandatory the receiver has to be turned on to record audio on the move for longer duration in rotation. Could See that despite Gain adjustments the monitors level bar on the mic wasn't moving Much! So want to confirm if I'm doing something wrong or If the device is faulty or I need to switch off safety to stereo or mono mode? So Now, I'll Need another Thorough Video from You Explaining How One Can Use Each Transmitter&Receiver Individually, as Audio Recorder, How to Save Audio Used as Safety Backup of other Audio Recorder on the Move! They're Hacking and not letting My Laptops Turn on So I Can't Even Test the functionalities and if it's actually recording anything! So Please Do Clear My Doubts if you Can! The Battery Backup looks to be on the lower side though in the real World hence I'm thinking of using Individually on rotation will need to get another Battery Bank as well as they've hacked the 40000mAh battery Bank I bought so it drains in like one charge of anything! Your Guidance could sure help on a full usage methods of the Comica!👍🏼🙏🏼 Also which 360 Cam is Best For Low to Night Light Than Can Be Used Extended through Motorcycle Power Charger Socket or Battery Bank! I Want a link Webcam but Insta360 Went Out of their WAY To See To It That It's Not Made Available to Me along with The Companies on My Cases so I'm not sure if you can help? Link and an X3 can't be Purchased together Now, so Again unavailable leaving Me in Another Dilemma because They're Offing People Left Right and Center here in my State and Country for Coverup 📰! Thanks and Regards, Michael Jude Emmanuel.

[@matango1979]

I don't know if this is a serious comment or just someone trolling. The random capitals and all the talk about the deep state hacking your powerbanks while using motorcycle power sockets, it's just to much. That being said, I'll try to answer. On the transmitters there is a REC button. Just one short press to get the screen to brighten and then a longer press to start recording. The REC sign on the screen should be blinking if the recording is on. You turn it off the same way. After that use the cable to connect the transmitter to the PC and download the files. Treat the transmitter the same way you would a USB key with files on it. After you are done, safely eject it.

[@ElprofesorA]

Good job

[@williefirstborn]

Hey, good review

[@jeronimominino339]

One cable is for Sony/Panasonic/Fujifilm and the other cable is for Canon/NIkon. How are these two TRS to TRS cables different? Is it a matter of plug-in-power? (The connectors look identical to me -or am I missing something?)

[@RayValencia]

Someone told me, in a comment, that the cables have different loudness and if I felt the Sony cable wasn't as loud as the others, then try one of the "louder/more sensitive" cables. I haven't tested this theory yet

[@Seguindobiblia]

PLEAAAAASE HELP BROS I formatted it to free up memory, now it's not recording in the internal memory anymore, WHAT TO DO?

[@RayValencia]

Contact Comica!!

[@DarlintonFerreira]

@victorvieira9677 Hey man! I'm from Brazil and I made the same mistake. Did you solve it?

[@Seguindobiblia]

@@DarlintonFerreira sim mano, entrei em contato no e-mail deles e eles enviaram uma espécie de programa pra reinstalar, ficou 100%

[@DarlintonFerreira]

@@Seguindobiblia Show mano! Eu tbm fiz o mesmo hahaha… no meu caso eles mandaram uma sequencia de comandos para fazer no Terminal do Mac. E resolvido. Tava boladão de ter perdido a função que mais uso. Hahaha… abraço e valeu aí!

[@FrankJoseph911]

Thanks, Ray. this video helped me to determine to buy this. Have you reviewed the new Panasonic LUMIX s5ii camera? Please do so as I would love your opinion about it. I am a subscriber to you and dish out likes like wooden nickles.

[@RayValencia]

Thanks! I'm curious about this camera as well. Looks amazing on paper!! And thanks for the sub and Likes!!

[@NisYT]

I've been trying for 1 and a half hours but no matter how many times I record the mic keeps using the default iPhone Microphone. I have the cable that says for SmartPhone connected and I've made sure that the mics are paired connected and everything do you know if there's something I'm missing? I'm using an Iphone 14 Pro Max.

[@CookingwithWajidaIndian]

Very nice 👍👍 Informativ video 📷

[@RayValencia]

Thanks Wajida! I hope you've been doing well!

[@mshawnlane]

I can't find the pro version in stock anywhere. Does anyone know where I can get them now?

Hi what DB should I set when I use it with sony mirrorless camera (also camera record volume)?

[@aetheriumphysics9166]

I’m torn between this and the deity wireless. Which one is Better for recording short films which may include some far shots

[@RayValencia]

You gotta see a few things to understand my full perception. This is my Deity vs Rode video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYe7nWiNn8emra8

[@RayValencia]

This one has some nice sound comparisons: 7RYMS vs Comica vs Rode: kzbin.info/www/bejne/amq1h3mZaNeZarc

[@CRISZTO]

what’s the difference between normal and pro version ?

[@RayValencia]

Pro version offers Internal Recording.

[@aetheriumphysics9166]

Will this work on the iPhone 11 if I have a lightning to trs cable?

[@RayValencia]

Should work!!

dude what part of florida?

Near Disney, outskirts of Orlando!

[@happyebb]

The rode still sounds a little better than the Comica :( I love the 3 way charging cable and mics that come with the kit! whats rode's excuse?

[@RayValencia]

A few minutes ago, I just uploaded a new comparison of the 7RYMS vs Rode vs Comica. All have Dual Recorders. And I don't know...there's just something about the Rode that has a little extra sauce. Let me know what YOU think @happyebb (The tests are towards the end) kzbin.info/www/bejne/amq1h3mZaNeZarc
